Z -- NUCLEAR GRADE CONSTRUCTION BASIC ORDERING AGREEMENTS Contact: David Dale, Sr. Contracts Specialist, 516-344-3199. Associated Universities, Inc., operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory, under contract with the U. S. Department of Energy intends to issue contracts for Nuclear Grade Construction Basic Ordering Agreements. Brookhaven National Laboratory plans to establish three (3) or more Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA's) to provide Nuclear Grade Qualified construction craftsmen and supervision for the performance of construction work as required at the Brookhaven site for a period of two (2) years, commencing on or about November 1, 1996. These Basic Ordering Agreements are intended for short lead-time construction projects. Generally, the construction costs of individual task orders under the BOA will not exceed $1,000,000.00. It will be at the Laboratory's discretion as to when BOA's will be utilized. Options to extend the terms of each BOA for two (2) one-year periods will also be included in the Agreement. For an individual construction project, each contractor with whom the Laboratory has a BOA for that specific type of work will be asked to submit a lump sum bid based on construction specifications and drawings. The Laboratory will then award a task order to the low bidder. However, if a given contractor's performance on a previous task or tasks has been unsatisfactory, the Laboratory may decline to solicit future bids from the contractor. Thus, succeeding task awards will be dependent on price and the contractor's past workmanship and schedule performance. The work will be of varied nature such as: modification to existing building areas to convert them for new uses within radiation areas. Although the work is conventional construction contractors with existing radiation experience and existing Radiation Safety and Training Programs will only be considered for this project. These basic ordering agreements currently are not restricted to small businesses only. However, in the extent that there is substantial interest by qualified small businesses Brookhaven reserves the right to set the project aside for small business concerns only. Prospective contractors will be evaluated by a panel from an established set of Evaluation Criteria. The Criteria will include but is not limited to the following: Past Nuclear Grade construction experience in Radiation Areas, Radiation Training History and ALARA Program, etc. The resulting contracts are intended solely for Radiological Contractors that have existing Radiological/Nuclear Grade experience and training.
