B -- INVASIVE AND NON-INVASIVE GEOPHYSICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION TECHNOLOGIES POC Doug Gerrick, TechCon (606) 291-7794 E-MAIL: DMG@fuse.net, DMG@fuse.net. POC: Doug Gerrick, TechCon, (606) 291-7794, Email: DMG@fuse.net DESC: BWXT of Ohio, Inc. (BWXTO), Prime Contractor for the United States Department of Energy's (DOE's) Miamisburg Environmental Management Project (MEMP), Miamisburg, Montgomery County, Ohio, seeks QUALIFIED SOURCE(s) to provide intrusive and non-intrusive geophysical and radiological characterization technologies to characterize hazardous, radioactive and mixed wate contents entombed in the Old Cave at the MEMP. The MEMP is a 306-acre Department Of Energy (DOE) closure site currently undergoing Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) activities before being turned over to City of Miamisburg for re-industrialization. The Mound Laboratory played a key role in research, development and production of both nuclear and non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons. From 1951 to 1955, a 1,000-ft2 room located in the Semi-Works (SW) Building, currently known as the Old Cave, was used for the processing of radium (Ra-226) and actinium (Ac-227). From 1955 until 1959, decontamination and system component removal from the Old Cave were performed as manpower and budgets permitted. Because of the extreme danger associated with the radium and actinium, this area was entombed in 1959 by pouring walls around the remaining base, filling the volume with compacted sand and gravel, and then pouring a concrete cap. To establish the best knowledge base for the entombment and to ensure a sound design for its remediation and removal, non-intrusive geophysical techniques will be used initially during the Phase I Characterization. Multiple geophysical techniques will determine subsurface structures, contaminants, contaminant pathways, and will optimize the strategic sampling of soils. The Phase II Intrusive Characterization, when implemented, will apply geophysical technologies. More than one technology may be required to obtain complementary data. Technologies may include ground-penetrating radar and time domain electromagnetics. Other technologies will be assessed as presented by interested vendors. BWXTO is looking for experienced operators in applying invasive and noninvasive geophysical and radiological characterization technologies and preferably operators that can use more than one technology to obtain complementary data. Interested parties can access the Notice, Potential Sources Sought for Characterization of the Old Cave at the Miamisburg Environmental Management Project via the following two Web Sites: http://web.ead.anl.gov/techcon/charinit/cave or http://www.doe-md.gov. The TechCon Web Site will provide additional details on the project and links to support documents, questionnaires, and directions for submitting the required information. The information provided by the responders at this web site will be the only source used for the purpose of preparing a List of INTERESTED, PRE-QUALIFIED SOURCES. Only those responders selected for the Pre-Qualified list will receive a Request for Proposal (RFP), expected to be issued during the first quarter of government fiscal year 2001. All responses must be posted to the web site by 10/01/00. TELEPHONE INQUIRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. CITE: (XXX-XXXXXXXX) Posted 08/08/00 (W-SN483421). (0221)
