C -- TASK ORDER CONTRACTS FOR NUCLEAR ENGINEERING SERVICES Contact: J. E. Teahan, Contracts Administrator, 516/282-3140. Associated Universities, Inc., operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory, under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy intends to engage a minimum of two engineering firms to provide multi-disciplined engineering services for technical support and detailed design of modifications for the High Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR) at Brookhaven. The HFBR is a 60MW heavy water-cooled and moderated reactor. The scope of work includes engineering analyses, preparation of reports and procedures, and engineering and design services for facility modifications. Firms wishing to be considered must have a quality assurance program that implements the ISO 9000 series, ``Quality Management and Quality Assurance Standards,'' or the basic and supplemental requirements of ANSI/ASME NOA-1, ``Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Facilities.'' In addition, interested firms must have experience with the application of reactor safety criteria and nuclear codes and standards such as the ASME B&PV Code Section II, III, V, IX and IEEE Standards 308 and 603. This solicitation is unrestricted. All qualified firms are invited to participate. The following criteria will be used to evaluate firms. All items are weighted equally. (1) Experience of the firm in comparable work with power and research reactors, (2) A demonstrated ability to manage and perform tasks within schedule and budget, (3) Availability, experience and qualifications of team members from all engineering disciplines, including the proximity of the project office to the Brookhaven site, (4) Ability to provide detailed design services, i.e., drawings calculations, procedures, ASME II design reports, (5) The effectiveness of the firm's QA program and experience of the team members with the application of industry NRC, and DOE codes and standards. Interested firms are invited to submit four complete copies of Standard Forms 254 and 255 to the address above. Please provide Standard Forms 254 and 255 in as concise a format as possible. Information submitted which is not directly pertinent to the requirements described above will not be considered for evaluation. The estimated start date for these contracts is April 1, 1996. The contracts will run for three years and each will contain an option for two, one-year extensions to be exercised at Brookhaven's discretion. Only responses received by October 18, 1995 will be considered. Following an initial evaluation of the information submitted in the SF 254s and 255s, the most highly qualified firms will be asked to provide documentation of their established QA program. Those firms providing acceptable documentation will be invited to interview for a contract. This is not a request for proposal. Brookhaven and the United States Government will not be responsible for any expenses incurred by others in connection with this announcement. (254)
