Corbin via e-mail, corbin-jones@srs.gov. The U.S. Department of Energy, Savannah River Operations Office, has a requirement for paramilitary security services to provide physical security protection at the Savannah River Site (SRS) located near Aiken, South Carolina. SRS is a Government-owned contractor-operated facility, which for over 40 years produced nuclear materials used in the manufacture of nuclear weapons for defense purposes. SRS continues to support the reduced needs of its defense program mission. Due to the end of the cold war and a diminished need for nuclear weapons, the DOE has redirected its efforts toward environmental restoration and nuclear waste management and economic development and technology transfer initiatives. The Site consists of approximately 310 square miles located in west central South Carolina and houses a unique high level waste processing and storage facility, chemical separation facilities, a state-of-the-art tritium recycling and reloading facility, nuclear material production facilities (in various stages of decommissioning), as well as industrial and administrative facilities. The security services require approximately 448 armed guards authorized to utilize deadly force, special response team with airborne (helicopter) assault capabilities, law enforcement to guard and patrol services and complete training and administrative support. Wackenhut Services, Inc. (WSI) is currently providing the security to SR, under a DOE Management and Operating contract. The security is covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the United Plant Guard Workers of America, Local 330 union. The current cost-plus-award fee contract with WSI expires on September 30, 1998. The current contract will be extended to permit sufficient time to complete this competition. WSI has been providing the services at the Site since 1983. Copies of the current contract will be provided to interested firms if requested. All information deemed necessary by DOE for interested firms to submit a proposal will be provided in the Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government contemplates award of a Cost-Plus-Incentive Fee/Award Fee contract. The period of performance shall be five (5) years from the date of award of the contract, with one optional five (5) year extension or in increments not-to-exceed a total of five (5) years. The RFP will be available on or about August 3, 1998, for firms responding to this notice. Posted 07/02/98. (0183)
