A PRE-SOLICITATION CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD AT MARE ISLAND NAVAL SHIPYARD IN VALLEJO, CA., AT 10:00 AM LOCAL TIME ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 22, 1995. This conference is being held to discuss the REMOVAL AND SCRAPPING OF THREE (3) EX-NAVY TARGET SHIPS LOCATED AT THE MARE ISLAND FACILITY. The EX-TOLMAN (DD74), EX-PICKING (DD 685), and EX-SOUTHERLAND (DD 743) are World War II DESTROYERS which have been used as TELEMETRIC MISSILE TARGETS. These ships are damaged from missile impacts, fire, and structural deterioration. They also contain Friable Asbestos, PCB's, and Lead Based Paints. Shipyard Services are required for Hazmat Abatement/Disposal in accordance with all Federal, State, and Local Environmental laws and regulations, and for COMPLETE VESSEL DISMANTLEMENT. Any contractors wishing to board the above vessels MUST BRING THEIR OWN PROTECTIVE GEAR. Protective gear includes, as a minimum; Tyvek Coveralls, Rubber Gloves, Shoe Covers, and a 1/2 Mask (Covering Nose and Mouth with High Efficiency Filter). The US NAVY ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY AND/OR LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSON WHO WISHES TO BOARD THESE VESSELS, AND A WRITTEN RELEASE OF LIABILITY MUST BE SIGNED PRIOR TO BOARDING. Some areas of the ships(s) will be unaccessible due to structural damage. Ships must be moved to the contractor's facility prior to dismantlement. The ex-Southerland's hull is at risk for tow out of San Francisco Bay area. Ownership of salvageable scrap metal and materials would transfer to the awardee upon vessel dismantlement. A cost type level of effort contract is being considered for use by the Navy in accomplishing this effort. All prospective offerors are urged to attend this conference. In order to make the conference as productive as possible, offerors are requested to submit the name of the attendees to the Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Norfolk - Detachment Philadelphia, Attn: Gerald Furey, Bldg. 600, U.
