F -- DECISION ANALYSIS SCIENCE MODELING FOR APPLICATION AND FIELDING SELECTION APPLIED TO METAL SOL HCET009 DUE 022897 POC Dr. M.A. Ebadian, (305) 348-3585, Leo Lagos (305) 348-1810 The Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology (HCET) at Florida International University (FIU) is seeking qualified suppliers to aid in an engineering study for the comparative analysis of surface removal technologies for structural steel. The study is being performed to support the United States Department of Energy Office of Science and Technology. The study will be conducted at the campus of FIU in Miami, Florida. Four surrogate types will be tested. The four types of surrogates will include: painted I-beams, painted plates, rusted I-beams, and rusted steel plates. Each technology will be tested a minimum of four hours of actual operating time for each surrogate type. The number of surrogates used during the four hour test period will depend upon the specific technology being tested. HCET will provide sufficient number of surrogates for each test period. The technologies in the study will include innovative and non-nuclear technologies for surface removal. The qualified suppliers will be askedto optimize the operation of the operation as it is applied to each surrogate. The qualified firm shall have two years minimum operations experience with the given technology. The qualified firms are to provide references of comparable jobs completed. Interested firms should send a Letter of Qualification stating how the firm meets the minimum requirements, including address, contact person, telephone and fax numbers to Mr. Leonel E. Lagos, Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology at Florida International University, Engineering and Applied Science, Suite 2100, Miami, Florida 33199 no later than 2/28/97. The letter of Qualification will be used to prequalify proposed firms. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be available to the qualified firms approximately 3/14/97. (0031)
