99 -- CALIBRATION LABORATORY -- EXPRESSION OF INTEREST SOL 98-003 DUE 081598 POC Danny J. LaPlante, DynCorp Tri-Cities Services, Inc., 509-376-9309 WEB: Fluor Daniel Hanford Acquisitions, http://www.hanford.gov/pmm/rfp.htm. E-MAIL: click here to contact the technical point of contact, danny_j_laplante@rl.gov. DynCorp Tri-Cities Services, Inc. (DYN) is seeking experienced businesses with an interest in establishing a presence within the Tri-Cities area (near Richland, Washington) to provide calibration laboratory services. The Department Of Energy (DOE) currently provides these services to the Hanford Site. However, due to the decreased volume of services, it is no longer economically feasible to maintain a Government-owned, full service standards laboratory. The Laboratory's current capability includes 23 disciplines, maintenance of standards and approximately 4,500 calibrations per year including the Lab's standards. At the present time, a full service calibration and standards laboratory does not exist within the Richland, Washington area. Industry growth within a fifty (50) mile radius of the Hanford Site boundary may be sufficient to supplement the volume of services needed to support a full service calibration laboratory. Other potential business sources include: Other Hanford Site activities Power Generation and Utility industries Nuclear Fuel and Metal Forming/Fabrication industries Other Government agencies Food processing industries Wine industry Health Care industry The City of Richland, Port of Benton, Columbia Basin Ventures, Columbia Basin College, TRIDEC and Washington State University offer excellent business development assistance and resources. Suppliers will be required to develop their own individual business development sources and plans. DYN involvement will be limited to an introduction of suppliers to the potential business development sources and administration of the planned subcontract for the required services. The solicitation is planned to request the calibration and standards industry to propose a method of reaching the following DYN goals: 1. Entice the establishment of a full service calibration laboratory to meet the wide range of calibration needs of the Hanford Site. Current disciplines include (but are not limited to): Mass, Dimension, Pressure, Vacuum, High Flow, Low Flow, Force, Temperature, Electrical and Electronics. 2. Such laboratory will meet the requirements of American National Standards Institute Z540. 3. Such laboratory will be required to extend employment offers to incumbent employees. In addition, the successful supplier will be required to recognize the Hanford Atomic Metals Trade Council (HAMTC) as the collective bargaining agent for the current represented work force for their scope of work. On or about August 31, 1998, DYN is planning to release a Request For Proposal (RFP) to provide the services of a calibration laboratory to meet the needs of the Hanford Site. On or about August 18, 1998, DYN will hold a pre-proposal conference. For further information, interested businesses may send a written expression of interest, including a statement of qualifications by August 15, 1998 to: DynCorp Tri-Cities Services, Inc.
