X -- LEASE OF GOVERNMENT FACILITY Contact Al J. Aragon, 509-376-7456. This is an economic diversification effort conducted by Westinghouse Hanford Company for the Department of Energy (DOE), Richland Operations Office. The goal of this effort is to transfer the DOE facility described below to commercial use. This supports the Secretary's commitment that the DOE will ``take an active role in helping the community diversify its economy and seed the creation of new jobs''. Westinghouse Hanford Company, Richland, Washington, is accepting shows of interest from interested parties to lease space in the Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (FMEF) 427 Building and Fuel Assembly Area (FAA) 4862 Building or to purchase these buildings (original cost approx. $200 million). These buildings are located approximately 11 miles north of the city of Richland, Washington. The FMEF/FAA are situated at the Hanford Site in what is referred to as the 400 Area. The FMEF was built during the late 1970's and early 1980's as a major addition to the breeder reactor technology development program to support the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). The FAA was added in the mid 1980's and configured to support fuel pin inspection, assembly, and storage. The DOE has shut down the FFTF (located in the 400 Area) and all nuclear missions associated with FMEF and FAA have been canceled. The FMEF and FAA are clean facilities and have not been exposed to radioactive materials. Both facilities are seismically qualified and have multiple pass HEPA filtered ventilation systems. The FMEF consists of a 98 foot high process building with an attached mechanical equipment wing on the west side and an entry wing on the south side of the building. The building is divided into six operating floors consisting of 188,000 square feet of operations space (175 feet x 270 feet) and also extends 35 feet below ground. The building contains process hot cells including decontamination, non destructive examination, process, and destructive examination cells. There are many laboratory, glove box and light fabrication areas throughout the building. The general facility support systems include: facility elevators (4), site and facility electrical systems, instrumentation and alarms, site and facility water supply, site and facility sewer system, liquid waste retention system, chilled water system, chilled brine system, normal inert gas supply system, argon supply system, nitrogen/hydrogen supply system, argon/sulfur hexafluoride supply system, helium supply system, argon/hydrogen supply system, helium/hydrogen supply system, process vacuum system, air sampling vacuum system, compressed air system, cooling water system, closed loop cooling water system, emergency cooling water system, and nitrogen recycle system. The FAA (approx. 40,000 square feet) is located along the southern end of the FMEF Building. The building includes office space to hold over 100 personnel and light manufacturing space. The FAA shares common walls on the north with FMEF and on the west with the FMEF entry wing. The FAA ventilation systems were designed for encapsulated radioactive material handling. Individual tours and consultations will be scheduled upon notification. A packet with additional information will be provided upon request. The term of the lease can be up to ten (10) years and can include an option for extension or can be sold out right depending upon the proposed use and the compatibility with the intent of the site. All responses are due April 28, 1995, and shall be directed to: Westinghouse Hanford Company P.O. Box 1970, B5-32, Richland, Washington 99352, Attention: M. J. Minette 509-376-8019 or G. E. Miller, 509-376-4496. (062)
