70 -- ESTABLISHMENT OF REGULATORY EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS IN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE SOL RS-AED-95-353 DUE 081595 POC Mary H. Mace, Contracting Officer, 301/415-7314/ Sharon Mearse, Contract Specialist, 301/415-6591 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), as part of the Lisbon Initiative is assisting in the establishment of regulatory emergency response systems in Russia and Ukraine. In July 1993, NRC awarded a contract for technical and administrative support in purchasing, installing, testing, and modifying a radio- based emergency communications system at four locations in Russia. The accepted equipment configuration which satisfied the functional specifications under this contract will serve as the prototype for all other installations to be completed under the two emergency response systems. The need for all communication components to be compatible with each other imposes restrictions on the ability to freely interchange the products of different manufacturers, specifically the following: 1) Sunair solid state digital HF/SSB transceiver, model RT-9000A, with power supply, input/output devices, controls, connections, and mounting/casing equipment; 2) Sunair compatible processor for automatic link establishment assembled in or with the transceiver; 3) Sunair compatible Link Plus lincompex device for voice conditioning, assembled in or with the transceiver; 4) Sunair multiport audio/key line unit, model MX-9350, for interface with remote- control workstation; 5) Sunair radio/telephone interface unit assembled in or with the transceiver; 6) Space Applications remote control software with automatic link establishment capability for Sunair transceiver model RT-9000A; 7) HAL high-frequency modem, model PCI-4000, with control module and card; and 8) Space Applications transceiver-modem-computer interconnecting cables. The contractor shall provide complete installation of emergency voice and data communications at operating nuclear power plants (NPPs), regulatory headquarters, and other specified locations in Russia and Ukraine. Within each country, the contractor shall integrate emergency communications installed at each location (14 in Russia and 6 in Ukraine), including the modules installed in Russia by the Prototype System Contractor, into a single emergency communications system with the hub located at the headquarters of the regulatory organization (GAN in Russia, MEPNS in Ukraine); assist in developing a functionally integrated (but not elaborate) emergency operations center at the headquarters of the regulatory organization; as well as assist in completing response tools, procedures, training, guidelines, and translate documents, some of which are concurrently being developed by NRC, GAN, and MEPNS. The contractor shall provide an on-site warranty for all equipment for a period of one year after date of acceptance. The contractor shall have an office in Moscow and Kiev and maintain separate plans, documentation, and cost- accounting for each country. The period of performance is two years with an option for an additional year for the contractor to acquire, deliver, and install, configure, test, and demonstrate up to five non-NPP locations for Russia and 4 for Ukraine. Interested firms should submit written requests to the U.S. NRC at the address as shown above. Telephone requests will not be honored. Proposals for this requirement may be submitted by all concerns, i.e., large businesses, small businesses, and small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
