Y -- SHOCK & VIBRATION TEST FACILITY CONSTRUCTION SOL 73-KGF-763350. Contact Kenneth G. Freund, 412/476-5488. Construction contract includes minor demolition; rock excavation; installation and curing of reinforced concrete including a massive foundation requiring preplacement of approximately 165 large unbonded anchor bolts and the continuous placement of approximately 175 cy of 4000 psi concrete in the initial pour and 120 cy of 6000 psi concrete in a second pour; and electrical systems, mechanical systems and building modifications for the installation of a new shock and vibration test facility in an existing building. This work is subject to special administrative controls including applicable safety plans, disposition of waste materials, shop drawings, equipment, materials including concrete mix, placement and curing details, testing, and acceptance approval requirements; and is to be planned, scheduled and performed to the specified construction sequence and completion schedule. Interested bidders must meet the following minimum prerequisites in order to receive a copy of the Request for Quotation (RFQ) package. Only those firms who respond within the specified time period and provide sufficient written documentation to show they meet the following minimum prerequisites, as determined by Westinghouse, will receive the subject inquiry for bidding purposes. 1. 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. However, all personnel who will be performing on-site work will require a DOE security clearance. It takes approximately two to four months to obtain a DOE security clearance after an individual submits a completed and acceptable ``Questionnaire for Sensitive Positions'' (QSP). In this regard, in order for your company to receive a copy of the inquiry package, completed QSPs must be submitted to Westinghouse within two weeks from date of request for a copy of the RFQ package, or provide proof that your company has an adequate number of cleared personnel. QSPs must be submitted as necessary to fully staff the job. Westinghouse shall process clearances at no cost to the contractor, however, the effort to complete and submit the QSPs is solely at the contractor's expense. 2. Prospective bidders must have bonding capability from sureties listed in the U. S. Treasury Circular 570 relative to contract performance or be able to provide irrevocable letters of credit from financial institutions that are Federally insured and have investment grade or higher rating from a recognized commercial rating service. 3. 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. Requests 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 the CBD publication.
