B -- HISTORY OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE SOL DE-PS09-97SR18903 DUE 031497 POC Angela M. Sistrunk, Contract Specialist, (803) 725-8123 E-MAIL: click here for e-mail point of contact scott stephenson, scott.stephenson@srs.gov. The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) at Savannah River is announcing the availability of a cooperative agreement solicitation for the history of the Savannah River Site (SRS). The SRS is approaching its fiftieth anniversary and is currently involved in closing old production facilities and related environmental restoration of these facilities. The solicitation was made available on February 28, 1997; applications are due March 28, 1997. As a matter of legacy and education, it is important that SR capture the technical history of the old production facilities, related artifacts, and the technology developed at SRS from the inception of the site in the early 1950's to the present time. The purpose of this solicitation is to establish a mechanism to research, develop and preserve the mission (nuclear materials production) history of SRS, and to provide a product tool to be used for continual education and public information purposes. The participant will conduct a three-phased project to record and preserve the history of the SRS. Phase One will involve a survey of structures and artifacts of historic significance at SRS including photographs and documents, development of criteria for determining historic significance, and the recording of oral histories from scientists and engineers associated with the development of nuclear energy at SRS. Phase Two will require the gathering, archiving and storage of those items identified in the Phase One survey. Phase Three will consist of the preparation and submission of an electronic narrative of the site history and recommendations for archival and future use of the artifacts, documents, photographs and personal narratives. All phases of this project must be carried out in concert and with the objective of compiling a site history that evaluates and determines the significance of SRS' role in the Cold War and provides recommendations for nomination of various site buildings and structures to the National Register of Historic Places including recommendations for meeting nomination guidelines under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The project should be conducted with input from experts in the various professional disciplines involved in the development and operation of the SRS and led by historians whose area of expertise includes twentieth century military/industrial development in the United States. Those who submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) in response to the Department's August 1996 request for EOI's will automatically receive a copy of the solicitation. Requests for copies of the solicitation should be received in writing or be transmitted via facsimile to (803) 725-8573 no later than close of business (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) March 14, 1997. Requests or notifications should be sent to Ms. Angela M. Sistrunk, Contracts Management Division, U. S. Department of Energy, P.O. Box A, Aiken, SC 29802. Telephonic requests will not be accepted.***** (0062)
