P -- CONTAMINATED LARGE EQUIPMENT DISPOSAL TECHNOLOGIES DUE 051200 POC Sharon M. Campbell, (803) 952-6112 E-MAIL: Click here to contact Sharon Campbell via e-mail, sharon-pmmd.campbell@srs.gov. Westinghouse Savannah River Company, management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina, is seeking technologies in the areas of decontamination and size reduction. During the years of operation at the Savannah River Site (SRS), equipment and other materials in radioactive service were removed and replaced as routine activities. Many of these items, considered Contaminated Large Equipment (CLE), are in storage awaiting final disposition. These items cover a wide assortment of equipment including process vessels, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping, pumps, valves, cranes, and other heavy equipment. The materials of construction are typically carbon steel, stainless steel, and concrete. Equipment size varies, but none will fit inside a B-25 storage container (4 ft x 6 ft x 3 ft). The current CLE, if declared waste and disposed "as-is," would consume over 600,000 ft3 of disposal space. Additional CLE is expected as some areas of the SRS proceed into a deactivation and disposition phase of operation. SRS is developing a strategy for dispositioning this CLE that includes the following disposal paths: A) Dispose "as-is"; B) Decontaminate and dispose; C) Size reduce and dispose; or D) Decontaminate, size reduce, and dispose. Proposed technologies should demonstrate enhanced safety, improved performance, and waste minimization. The technologies should be field proven and ready for field deployment; however the deployment of new or improved technologies that may be funded by DOE Office of Science and Technology (EM-50) deployment programs will be considered. SRS has successfully competed for these funds in the past and will consider this option again. Approximately 40% of the CLE would best be decontaminated or size reduced in-situ. Technologies that are transportable and capable of in-situ treatment of equipment are desired. Some of the CLE, if declared waste, would be considered mixed waste. The hazardous materials involved are typically lead, mercury, chromium, and cadmium. Technologies capable of reducing these items to low level waste will reduce the overall disposal costs. Other technologies that will enhance the overall disposal of CLE will be considered based on need and merit. Responding vendors should provide a detailed description of their technology. Submittals shall include: 1) technology name; 2) technology provider; 3) technology description; 4) description of previous use at other DOE sites or commercial locations; and 5) name, address, telephone, and e-mail of point-of-contact. Information provided under this request is not considered an offer. This information will only be used to assist the Government in planning the acquisition. All responses must be received by May 12, 2000. Please provide the requested information to: Westinghouse Savannah River Co., ATTN: Sharon Campbell, CPCM, Procurement Specialist, BLDG 730-4B, Aiken, SC 29808. This is not a formal request for proposals. It is a request for expressions of interest and statements of capabilities only. Posted 04/13/00 (W-SN444637). (0104)
