- Description
- Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC (BSC) herein known as the Contractor, intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide the services described below to prequalified bidders only. To be deemed prequalified to bid on the RFP, potential bidders must respond affirmatively and with sufficient detail to the "Prequalification Criteria" section, Questions 1 through 12, addressing their specific areas of expertise and qualification. Summary Scope of Work: Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC (BSC) has a need to obtain subcontract drilling services for drilling and monitoring well completion activities for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). These wells will be used to geotechnically and geophysically characterize the bedrock that underlies planned buildings and other associated structures being designed for an underground high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, in southern Nevada. All drilling activities will occur within Area 25 of the Nevada Test Site. Up to 15 boreholes are planned for this drilling program to depths of approximately 500 to 700 feet each (well above the regional water table located at ~1300 feet deep). A subset of these holes (approximately 8 to 10) will be drilled to an 8-1/2" nominal diameter to obtain high quality chip-sample cuttings for stratigraphic interpretation and geophysical logging activities, prior to completion as monitoring wells. The remaining holes (approximately 5 to 7) will be conventionally cored (HQ size minimum) and then reamed to an 8-1/2" nominal diameter, prior to completion as monitoring wells. All holes are planned as vertical with the exception of one borehole, which will be angled at approximately 30 degrees to 45 degrees from vertical. Wet drilling techniques are required (i.e., mud rotary, foam, etc), with reverse circulation methods strongly preferred. Access to a source of non-potable water will be provided by BSC. Well completion activities in all holes will consist of installing 4-inch nominal diameter schedule 80 PVC casing to total depth of each hole. The annulus of the PVC casing will be grouted with neat cement from total depth to surface. A state of Nevada licensed well driller is required for this drilling program. Location of the Work: All work shall be performed at Area 25 within the Nevada Test Site. Period of Performance: The estimated RFP issuance date is May 2005. The anticipated planned date for award of the Construction Services Subcontract is June 2005. The estimated period of performance is to begin work in July 2005, with an expected duration not to exceed six (6) months. Subcontract Type: It is anticipated that a Lump Sum/Firm Fixed Price Unit Rate Subcontract will be awarded for this requirement.
