F -- DECISION ANALYSIS SCIENCE MODELING FOR APPLICATION AND FIELDING SELECTION APPLIED TO EQUIPMENT DISMANTLEMENT TECHNOLOGIES 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 decontamination dismantlement technologies for a variety of test surrogates. 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. The testing surrogates will be provided by HCET. The surrogates may include pipes, structural steels, equipment and tanks that would require dismantlement. The surrogates will not be radiologically contaminated. Each technology will be tested upon its ability of dismantling given surrogates. The technologies in the study will include mechanical dismantlement such as shears, saws and thermal dismantlement such as oxy propane and thermal arc water jet. All other applicable technologies are encouraged to respond. The qualified suppliers will be asked to optimize the operation as it is applied to each surrogate. Qualified firms shall have five years minimum experience in nuclear decontamination and two years minimum operations experience with the proposed technology. The qualified firms are to provide references of nuclear decontamination 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)
