R -- APPLY LESSONS LEARNED CONCERNING WORKFORCE RESTRUCTURING AT THE OAK RIDGE DOE COMPLEX POC Ron Barnes, 202-426-0097 The Department of Energy intends to negotiate a fixed-price contract with only one source, the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), under authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) only one responsible source. HSPH will continue the study to apply lessons about various strategies to deal with employee and organizational problems at the Oak Ridge site to the larger DOE weapons-complex community. The Oak Ridge site presents a unique opportunity to refine a proactive strategy for managing the DOE restructuring process in its most complex form-a change to a management and integration contract that: 1) aims to support a largely subcontracted and flexible workforce; 2) manages cleanup missions by organizing the work according to time and skill requirements of specific projects; 3) includes a transition management plan beyond the mandates of layoffs to include an aging work force and a less than robust local economy. HSPH will identify levers for successful employee transitions following changes in organizational structures, jobs and work; and will provide a baseline and follow-up information to assist in transition management. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE. Firms must submit their interest to: Ron W. Barnes, MA-541, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, DC 20585. The interest letter must demonstrate the firm's ability and staffing to perform the work described above. See Numbered Note(s): 22. ***** Posted 06/18/99 (W-SN344713). (0169)
