All prospective bidder personnel should have U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) security clearances to attend the on-site pre-bid tour. Uncleared personnel will be escorted to tour areas where work will be performed, except those areas determined to be sensitive by Westinghouse. Attendance at such meetings is essential for proper understanding of unique ingress/egress procedure and complex site conditions. Also, all personnel who will be performin on-site work will require a DOE security clearance. It takes approximately three to five months to obtain a security clearance after an individual submits a completed and acceptable ``Questionnaire for Sensitive Position'' (QSP). In this regard, in order for your company to receive a copy of the RFQ package, completed QSPs must be submitted to Westinghouse within two weeks from the date of your request for a copy of the RFQ package. Westinghouse shall process clearances at no cost to the contractor; however, the effort to complete and submit QSPs is solely at the contractor's expense. 2.

Prospective bidders must agree to submit a current Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence Certification and all necessary supporting business and financial documentation, if requested by Westinghouse. Request for the RFQ along with the necessary documentation clearly showing your firm meets the above minimum prerequisites, must be in writing (telephone requests will not be honored), and your letter must be postmarked no later than fifteen calendar days after the date of this CBD publication.
