The Department of Energy (DOE) will be issuing a Request for Proposal for DOE's requirement for a completion type contract to complete environmental restoration at the Mound site as its primary objective and the phasing out of Mound tritium facility operations and continuing the Isotope Power Systems Program operations at Mound as ancillary objectives. Tasks will be program/project specific and will require the contractor to be innovative in its technical and business approaches while streamlining processes and reducing costs. This is not a solicitation for a Management and Operating (M&O) contract. It will be FAR based, require self-financing, and solicit proposals to cut infrastructure costs, streamline essential operations, and clean the site economically and safely. Tasks include those activities related to environmental restoration, waste management, environmental stewardship, operations, operational support, security and safeguards, quality and assessment, facilities management, site transition, administrative tasks, and contract transition.

Environmental stewardship activities include maintaining compliance with all environmental rules and regulations and ensuring protection of the environment at the Mound facility. Operations include continuing the Isotope Power Systems Program (i.e., NASA Cassini with delivery of RTG's and serving as the Heat Source (HS) lea laboratory) and phasing out the Tritium facility operation. Operational support activities include, formulating, implementing, and improving the Environmental, Safety, and Health Plan at the Mound Site, having an Occupational Safety Program, ensuring transportation safety, providing fire prevention engineering services, providing emergency response capabilities, maintaining and managing Mound's emergency management program, providing an occupational medicine program, and providing health physics support.

Quality and assessment tasks include, conducting quality assurance oversights of Mound operations, maintaining a Metrology program, and providing and maintaining policies and procedures for plant-wide implementation of a Conduct of Operations program. Facilities management includes plant engineering which provides for total engineering and design support for all modification projects and provides overall direction and management of facilities and real estate, plant maintenance which ensures that the site's facilities and their support systems, utilities, infrastructures, and equipment are maintained in a manner that supports the site's overall mission, and utilities program resources which are used to provide utilities operations that meet the site's day-to-day utilities needs.
