C -- ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF REPLACEMENT OF POWER AND ENERGY FOR THE MUNICIPALITY OF KRASNOYARSK-26, RUSSIA DUE 032995 POC Carol Stillwell, USTDA, Room 309, SA-16, Washington, D.C. 20523-1602, Tel: (703) 875-4357, Fax No.: (703) 875-4009 USTDA on behalf of the Mayor of the Municipality of Krasnoyarsk-26, Russia, invites proposals from qualified US firms to carry out a feasibility study for replacement of electric power and thermal energy from the existing Krasnoyarsk-26 plutonium producing reactor scheduled for shutdown by the year 2000. The feasibility study should at a minimum assess two basic options: (1) continued construction of a coal-fired cogeneration plant which is reported to be 10 percent complete and is sized to serve the current power and heating needs of all affected communities, and (2) less complex alternatives to construct energy facilities to serve the needs of the Municipality of Krasnoyarsk-26. The study duration is estimated at seven (7) months including one (1) month allowed for the review of a draft report by financial institutions. The closed city of Krasnoyarsk-26 has approximately 100,000 inhabitants and is located in the south central section of the Krasnoyarsk Krai. The Krasnoyarsk-26 reactor provides thermal and electrical power to the Municipality of Krasnoyarsk-26 and associated high tech industry. The Krai has under construction a coal fueled power plant called Sosnovoborsk which is approximately 10 percent completed. The feasibility study recommendations should result in a least-cost option to the consumers of the region/city and should include a plan for ownership option, capitalization structure, revenue streams and repayment responsibility. The aim of the feasibility study is to provide a bankable document serving to attract international financing for the recommended alternative. A Department of Energy Fact Finding Mission Report and a separate Tender Document including requirements for the feasibility study are available from the Information Resource Center (IRC) at USTDA. Requests should be faxed to the IRC, USTDA (Fax: (703) 875-4009). Please include: your name, company name, address, and telephone number. No telephone requests will be honored.
