- Description
- Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC (BSC) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for award of a Subcontract to provide the services described below to pre-qualified bidders only. To be deemed pre-qualified to receive an RFP, potential bidders must submit a completed Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Standard Form No. 254, "Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire," addressing specific areas of expertise and experience. In addition, potential bidders must respond to the pre-qualification questions listed below. SCOPE DEFINITION: Background: BSC has been released to begin preliminary design of the YMP in support of the aggressive project schedule to submit a License Application (LA) in 2004 and support the start of operations to receive and possess waste in 2010. A key element needed early in preliminary design is the input of key functional and operational requirements from an owner/operator perspective. This includes such inputs as: - Operating and maintenance philosophy; - Redundancy, availability and reliability requirements; - Operator staffing and training requirements; - Off-normal event recovery requirements; - Support facility and staffing requirements; - Operating margins, etc.; - Building and hot cell design; - Fuel handling; - Replication potential for designs created and proven elsewhere; - Replication potential for key equipment; All these inputs are required early in the preliminary design because they significantly impact building size, site arrangement, support facility needs, and related decisions that must be made before the safety analyses (hazards and pre-closure safety analysis) can be performed and the designed progressed to the point it will support a docketable LA. Following the initial inputs, the preliminary design must be developed using proven technologies and designs, for the most part, directly replicated or adapted from existing proven designs. The Subcontractor will have four primary areas of responsibility: 1. An early review and input to functional and operational requirements (F&OR) prepared by others and identification of specific portions of the material handling and hot cell processes that can replicate or adapt proven designs. 2. Material handling and hot cell design inputs, based largely on replicated designs, to BSC's LA 2003 design effort with continuing support through LA submittal in 12/2004. This would include inputs to safety analyses, equipment specifications, failure mode and effect analyses (FMEA), and related activities. 3. Input to equipment purchase specifications and overview of BSC's detailed design in 2005. This would include support of the NRC licensing process. 4. Operations inputs including operator qualification and training requirements, startup procedures, and initial operating procedures. In addition, based on Subcontractor's capabilities, BSC may elect to include aspects of facility and support system design in Subcontractor's scope. Description of Work: The scope of work for this Subcontract(s) will include furnishing all supervision, labor, and material for performing Designs, Design Inputs, and Design Reviews of the nuclear handling facilities of the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR) Project. The work would be performed in phases. During the first phase, Subcontractor would review Yucca Mountain Project (YMP) requirements, design constraints, conceptual design, and related documents and provide: - Comments on the overall facilities breakdown and functional descriptive; - Comments on the overall site arrangement and operating philosophy; - A site level process flow diagram identifying major systems, subsystems, and components recommended; - Identification of proven designs that could potentially be replicated at YMP; - Identification of proven designs that could be adapted to YMP; - Identification of processes and equipment unique to YMP; - Preliminary throughput study with time diagrams, defining the number of process lines required; - Preliminary sizing and requirements for operations and support areas (health physics, change rooms, maintenance areas, control room, etc.); - Preliminary requirements for HVAC, radwaste, decon, and other support systems including buildings being designed by BSC; - Control philosophy; - Hot cell and building functional and operational requirements to be used by BSC to design the facilities; - Support to BSC's 3D CADD design development effort. The second phase would continue through LA submittal (12/04). During this period, Subcontractor would continue with process system development as well as overall site development. In addition, Subcontractor would assist BSC with the LA design and licensing effort. At the end of 12/2003, a fully integrated Subcontractor-BSC design suitable for LA docketing must be complete. Phases 3 and 4 would include activities to support detailed design, procurement, equipment prototyping and mockups, development of operating procedures, operator training preparation, development of maintenance procedures, and related activities. It is envisioned that Subcontractor would continue with all activities related to the detailed design of material handling equipment and BSC would continue with the design of buildings, support systems and facility related activities and procurement of the equipment with Subcontractor's support. The expected division of responsibilities at a high level is shown below.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The estimated RFP issuance date is in the first Quarter of 2003. The anticipated planned date for award of the Subcontract is in the second Quarter of 2003. The estimated duration for performance is four (4) to five (5) years. Work may be assigned as multiple tasks, each task having a defined scope of work, performance period and deliverable(s) requirements. SUBCONTRACT TYPE: It is anticipated that fixed priced tasks will be issued.
