Description

Kaiser-Hill Company, L.L.C. is the Contractor tasked with closing of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE), Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS or Site) in Golden, Colorado. The Contractor is currently preparing for closure activities that necessitate concurrent characterization and remediation activities. The Contractor is requesting information from prospective offerors who are interested in being pre-qualified to submit proposals at a later date to conduct RFETS-wide remediation activities to support closure of the RFETS. Only proposals from pre-qualified offerors will be evaluated. Selected Subcontractors will remediate soil contamination at over one hundred locations at RFETS. The size of the individual remediation sites will range from less than 10 cubic yards to over 100,000 cubic yards. Most sites are expected to be remediated between fiscal year (FY) 2002 and FY 2005. The total scope of work being subcontracted is estimated at approximately $15 to $30 million over a five-year period. Contractor anticipates two awards as a result of this solicitation. The format of the anticipated solicitation will be fixed unit rates under a master task subcontract using task orders for individual elements of work. However, where extent of contamination can be adequately defined, this scope may be competed between the two winning subcontractors as a firm, fixed cost task. All work is expected to be covered by the Davis-Bacon Act and the Site's Project Labor Agreement. Characterization and remediation activities will be conducted concurrently under separate subcontracts. The characterization scope will be awarded under solicitation number KH002258. The selected Subcontractors' responsiveness and ability to work with the Contractor as part of an integrated team will be a key performance metric for the Subcontract. The remediation scope of work will include, but not be limited to:  Excavation of contaminated sediments, soils and associated debris from contamination release sites within a congested industrial area. Contaminants that can be expected consist of, but are not limited to, plutonium, americium and uranium, metals, and organic compounds (including chlorinated solvents, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls).  Backfill and stabilization of excavated areas;  Flushing, foaming or grouting and/or removal of process waste lines, sanitary and storm sewers, and footing drains;  Removal of concrete slabs remaining upon completion of facility demolition activities;  Removal of asphalt pavement (i.e., roads, parking lots, pads). This material will be recycled on Site where possible;  Packaging of waste materials from excavation and other removal activities into appropriate waste containers, maintaining appropriate waste accumulation areas at project sites and transporting filled waste containers to appropriate waste storage areas. The Subcontractor will supply trained waste generators and waste inspectors. Offsite shipment is not included in this scope of work. The Subcontractor will maintain a core staff and crew at RFETS, and have the capability to mobilize additional staff to ensure timely support as areas become available for work. The Subcontractor will be completely responsible for performing work safely and in accordance with all Site requirements and procedures. The Subcontractor will provide all resources including equipment, personal protective equipment, tools, materials, instrumentation, trailers, computers, software, supervision, management, weather structures and/or containment structures and other items and services necessary to perform work.
