F -- REMEDIATION OF CHEMICAL/ANIMAL GLASS HOLES Contact: David Dale, Sr Contracts Specialist, 516-344-3199. Remediation of the Chemical/Animal/Glass Holes Area Operable Unit I (OUI), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, NY: This project will involve the bulk excavation, removal and disposal of material from approximately 50 waste pits located at BNL. Each pit is approximately 4 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep. Historical information collected on the site indicates that the pits contain a variety of wastes including: animal carcasses, low-level radioactive waste and laboratory chemical waste from about 1960 to 1980. Partial excavation of one of the pits uncovered intact chemical bottles of varying sizes containing unidentified liquids. Occasional drums may be expected. The known and suspected contaminants in the pit include: acids and bases; organic and inorganic compounds; and in at least 2 pits, low levels of radio nuclides. The project will include but not be limited to: segregation, characterization, and disposal of chemical (organic and inorganic) and radiological wastes; segregation, characterization, treatment and disposal of contaminated (chemical and radiological) soils and debris. Primary excavation of the pits will be performed by BNL. Responding firms should have capabilities in the following areas: experience in the characterization, treatment and disposal of hazardous, radiological and mixed wastes; chemical and environment engineering; chemistry; health physics and industrial hygiene; and knowledge of applicable environmental regulations (CERCLA, RCRA, DOE, EPA and NYSDEC). Any required sampling and analysis shall be with the approved EPA methods. Analytical laboratories will be subject to inspection and approval. Firms which meet the requirements described in this announcement are invited to request a copy of the RFP and specifications. Estimated start date for this project is October 1, 1996 and the project is anticipated to last for about 1 year. Estimated cost for this project is between $5 million to $8 million. A non-refundable fee of $40.00 is required for RFP documents. Personal checks made out to ``Brookhaven National Laboratory'' are acceptable. Checks may be sent immediately and RFP packages will be mailed upon availability in May 1996. Requests received without proper payment will not be acknowledged. Requests must be received within 30 calendar days from the date of CBD publication. (085)
