The decision whether to issue an RFP for the work described in this notice is solely within DOE's discretion. Please note that this notice is not a request for proposals. The Government will not pay for the information requested herein, nor will it compensate any respondent for any costs incurred in developing information provided to the Government in response to this Sources Sought announcement. Additional information on the Hanford Site can be found at http://www.hanford.gov. Summary of Work The contractor shall prepare an injury assessment plan as part of the Injury Assessment Plan Phase of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) for the Hanford Site. The Injury Assessment Plan is being prepared in support of the ongoing CERCLA response process at the Hanford site with the objective of integrating natural resource concerns into response decisions. The key final products of the Phase II effort are the Injury Assessment Plan, Information Management System and a Project-wide Quality Assurance Management Plan. The Injury Assessment Plan shall be prepared in accordance with the DOI regulations for a NRDA Type B assessment except where Trustees agree another method is appropriate. This assessment planning process shall be designed to address all natural resources, injury categories, and services listed in the DOI NRDA regulations or identified by the Trustees. The objective of this Hanford NRDA injury assessment planning effort is for the natural resource Trustees and their selected contractor to collaboratively produce an Injury Assessment Plan for potentially injured natural and cultural resources, and the services that flow from them, resulting from releases of hazardous substances from the Hanford Site, all as defined by CERCLA and the DOI NRDA regulations (42USC 9601 et seq., 43 CFR Part 11). The plan shall define a holistic, site-wide approach for injury assessment related to releases from the Hanford Site. The plan shall also identify those areas where Hanford releases have come to be located or might be located in the foreseeable future, and the location of resources that may have been injured or potentially be injured by contact with these releases or injured by actions associated with the remediation of the releases. The work requires the contractor know and understand how hazardous substance impacts on natural resources are assessed. Proposals submitted in response to this request shall be evaluated based on the following criteria: Corporate Experience: •· Experience developing NRDA Type B Injury Assessment Plans; •· Familiarity and experience working with current/revised DOI NRDA regulations; •· Experience developing and implementing creative solutions to the injury assessment process (ability to think outside the box.) •· Injury assessment experience at large complex sites; •· Experience in developing and managing user friendly cost effective environmental data/information management systems by means of standard "off the shelf" software •· Experience working with federal/state/tribal Trustees; and •· Recent corporate performance relevant to this Statement of Work. Qualifications of Key Personnel: •· Multi-disciplinary technical expertise in NRDA injury assessment planning; •· Experience evaluating injury to natural resources from a cultural resource perspective; •· Experience in preparing Injury Assessment Plans. Proposed Approach for Completing the Hanford Injury Assessment Plan: Creativity; Comprehensiveness; Timeliness including how logically and effectively the activities and deliverables in the SOW are time-phased through the period of performance; How effectively it uses information from the Phase I assessment; How it provides direct support for NRDA decisions. Cost-Effectiveness: •· Use of methods that minimize total cost while meeting objectives; •· Use of streamlined approaches to meetings, workshops, deliverables wherever possible; and •· Demonstrates cost-effective staffing, project management, and contract administration.
