A -- HOT CELL #1 RADIOLOGICAL DECONTAMINATION PROJECT SOL CBD0399 DUE 031599 POC Barbara Clezie, 208-526-3751 WEB: Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory, http://www.inel.gov/procurement/litco/index.html. E-MAIL: Barbara Clezie, blc1@inel.gov. Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Company Procurement Announcement. REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION. TITLE: TRA-632 HOT CELL #1 RADIOLOGICAL DECONTAMINATION PROJECT. Barbara L. Clezie, Subcontract Administrator, (208) 526-3751, (208) 526-7184 -- fax, BLC1@inel.gov -- e-mail. Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Company (LMITCO), a Management and Operating (M&O) Contractor for the United States Department of Energy (DOE) at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) is in the process of defining a Request For Proposal (RFP) for the purpose of radiologically decontaminating Hot Cell #1 at the INEEL's Test Reactor Area (TRA). LMITCO is looking for companies using existing leading edge applied technology and services in radiological decontamination. Prior to being considered for issuance of the RFP, vendors must be pre-qualified. To be considered, prospective offerors must submit and satisfy the Go/No-Go pre-qualification criteria. An RFP will be issued only to those Companies determined by LMITCO to be qualified. Prequalification will be determined at the sole discretion of LMITCO. Offerors must provide evidence of technical experience and demonstrate a record of successfully handling complex decontamination projects (must include references). Offerors must have, or have the ability to obtain, the necessary resources to successfully complete the project. Offerors must have a current implemented Quality Assurance Program that meets the requirements of DOE Order 5700.6C, or equivalent. Offerors must have Environmental, Safety and Health (ES&H), Radiological Controls, and Industrial Hygiene programs that are fully compliant with all ES&H protection laws and requirements. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: TRA-632 Hot Cells are located at TRA on the INEEL. TRA-632 Hot Cells are operated by Idaho International Isotopes Incorporated for LMITCO. Idaho International Isotopes Incorporated processes isotopes such as Cobalt, Gadolinium, Iridium, etc. for commercial and medical uses. The project scope of work is to accomplish a radiological decontamination of TRA-632 Hot Cell #1 to an acceptable level. INTERFACES AT THE INEEL: The Subcontractor will be required to interface with the M&O Contractor in areas such as ES&H, emergency preparedness, security, utility tie-ins, radiation control, training, and general operating procedures. Many of these programs are currently operating under DOE Orders and therefore the Subcontractor must comply with these Orders. GENERAL HOT CELL #1 DESCRIPTION: Internal dimensions of the main work area in Hot Cell #1 are 6'5" deep, 14' wide, and 13'4" tall. There is a 1/4" thick carbon steel liner on the floor, ceiling, and walls of Hot Cell #1. The 1/4" carbon steel liner is sealed welded and all inside surfaces of the Hot Cell are painted. A 4-foot thick high-density concrete wall is used for shielding. At the ceiling and wall corners of the Cell are " diagonal steel plates with continuous welds to alleviate the problem of particles accumulating in the corners. The base of the Hot Cell is made of concrete, but all concrete above the finished floor is made of high-density concrete (Baryte Type). Inside the Hot Cell, there are 6 tables that take up the majority of floor space inside the Cell. An area of 2' x 6' is located between the tables and the Cell Access Door on the South wall. The six tables inside of Hot Cell #1 are made of " stainless steel. Five of the tables weigh at least 150 pounds each and the sixth table weighs 300 pounds. Due to the weight of these tables and the limited lifting capacity of the Manipulators, the tables cannot be stacked on top of each other to decontaminate (clean) the floor. An alternative method to decontaminate the Cell floor must be used. In the east and west corners of the south wall are vertical vent ducts and along the ceiling of the south wall is a horizontal vent duct. Both filter frames in the horizontal duct and the small filter frames in the vertical ducts have been permanently covered with sheet metal. The larger vertical ductfilter frames have been modified. The filter frame openings measure 10" x 19-3/4" while the filters measure 12" x 24" and use a furnace type filter. The filter frames have 1/8"x 1" thick foam rubber strip glued to them. There is a 1/8"x 1-1/2" foam rubber strip glued all around the vent duct face. Close attention should be exercised in these areas. The stepped Cell Access Door has an inside measurement of 7' x 6'. Lighting consists of an incandescent light in the ceiling and a mercury vapor lamps on the North wall. Specific details of radiological conditions in Hot Cell #1 are not being validated at this time because of production and waste disposal campaigns in progress. However, best conservative estimates for radiological conditions when decontamination activities commence are: 1) 20 R/hr ??? smears 2) <10,000 R/hr General Body Fields. SUMMARY OF PROJECT PHASES Mobilize, setup, training, and make ready all crew equipment. 1) Remotely decontaminate TRA-632 Hot Cell #1 to a point which meets personal entry requirements. 2) Decontaminate TRA-632 Hot Cell #1 to a point which meets a "Performance Standard". 3) Package waste generated during the clean up process in accordance with an approved plan. 4) Prepare the containers of processed waste for transportation to the INEEL's Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC) or to another disposal facility as appropriate for disposal. 5) Demobilize and clean up when the job has been completed. Companies interested in obtaining more information concerning this project or submitting the pre-qualification criteria, should contact Barbara L. Clezie at (208) 526-3751, (208) 526-4876 -- fax, or blc1@inel.gov -- e-mail. The deadline for submitting prequalification information is March 15, 1999. Posted 02/24/99 (W-SN302041). (0055)
