(Contractor), is the Closure Project Contractor at Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) near Golden, Colorado. Contractor anticipates application of COMMERCIAL asbestos removal and demolition practices throughout the Rocky Flats Closure Project under competitive subcontract awards. Competitive subcontracting opportunities include asbestos removal and demolition of multiple office/industrial buildings at RFETS with a total estimated FUTURE subcontracting value of $80 to $100 million. All subcontract awards will be based on fair and effective competition in consideration of best value as determined by Contractor. Contractor IMMEDIATELY contemplates awarding Firm Fixed Price (FFP) subcontract(s) for asbestos removal and demolition of Rocky Flats Office Building 111 and Ancillary Facilities (identified as Building 333 and 132 substation pad) as further described below. The anticipated subcontract performance period for Building 111 and Ancillary Facilities is April 1, 2001 to September 30, 2001, with an estimated value of $500,000 to $1 million. The Building 111 and Ancillary Facilities scope of work includes, but is not limited to, all services required to safely and compliantly perform work elements consisting of (1) asbestos removal and (2) facility demolition, site backfill and re-vegetation. Building 111, built in 1953, was used for administrative purposes including office space, a print shop and photography lab. The structure is L-shaped, with a two story north-south section (258 ft. x 50 ft.) and a one story east-west section (267 ft. x 49 ft.). The north-south section includes a basement (172 ft. x 50 ft.). The building exterior walls are primarily concrete, with a small auditorium constructed of poured concrete. The interior walls consist of masonry concrete block, transite sheet gypsum board or wood paneling. The windows are industrial, fixed metal sash. The roof is built-up asphalt over concrete. Building 111 contains asbestos and lead paint. Building 333 was constructed in 1953 and has been used as a paint shop and sand blast facility. Building 333 is single story with dimensions of approximately 30 ft. x 100 ft. constructed from masonry concrete block and contains asbestos and lead paint. The 132 substation pad is the foundation of a former electrical substation and currently consists primarily of a concrete pad with dimensions of 21 ft. x 27 ft.
