S -- PRIVATE SECTOR FOOD SERVICE OPERATORS/FRANCHISES POC: Steve Clayborn, Telephone (803) 644-1281. Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at the Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina, is seeking Expressions of Interest from private sector food service opertors/franchises interested in the private investment and operation of food service operations to employees and contractors within the B-Area of SRS. The current population of approximately 800 people in this area is expected to increase to 2,400 people by January 1996. Approximately 85% of this population will occupy four administrative buildings located within a five to seven minute walk of the current employee cafeteria which is not equipped to meet the anticipated food service needs of the area. Food service operations in the B-area are expected to consist primarily of lunch time services with limited potential for breakfast services. Most employees will be on a day shift schedule Monday through Friday with a 30 minute lunch period. WSRC desires an approach where the contractor constructs a turnkey facility on Government provided (leased/permitted) land with Government furnished utilities available. WSRC will accept Expressions of Interest which identify other investment concepts which would include but are not limited to portable/mobile systems, contractor use/modification of existing facilities, or contractor-Government shared capital investment, etc. Interested parties are requested to describe their Expression of Interest in the following format: (a) the offeror's general concept and methodology of food service operations; (b) the extent of the offeror's investment (i.e., dollars, equipment); (c) the extent of DOE's participation (i.e., land, utility service); (d) the proposed length of the contractual agreement (number of years); (e) identify any general exceptions of normal DOE and Federal Government rules and regulations; and (f) the offeror's past experience in food service operations. Expressions of Interest should not exceed ten (10) pages in length. Those Expressions of Interest deemed acceptable to WSRC and DOE will be offered the opportunity to visit SRS and to submit a comprehensive proposal for formal evaluation and consideration for contract award. In furtherance of DOE/WSRC's mission to support economic development, proposals providing for use of local food service establishments or other local businesses will receive additional consideration in the proposal evaluation. No other announcement of this opportunity will be made. Expressions of Interest are to be submitted by June 15, 1995, to WSRC, ATTN: Steve Clayborn, 1000 Brookhaven Drive, Aiken, South Carolina 29803. All questions should be directed to Mr. Clayborn at the above address or call (803)644-1281. This is not a request for proposals. It is a request for Expressions of Interest only. (118)
