Description

Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI), a Management and Operating (M&O) contractor for the United States Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) desires to procure a commercial and/or modified commercial soil stabilization system. This system shall have the capability of stabilizing soils derived from Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) actions that contain Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous substances along with certain radionuclides. The stabilization treatment process shall reduce the leaching characteristics of RCRA contaminants within the soil to acceptable levels as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). Soil is currently being stored in 2' x 4' x 8' wooden boxes lined with plastic bags at the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC). INTEC is a radiologically-controlled facility within the boundaries of the INEEL. The assumption is made that the boxes are 85% full of contaminated soil and weigh 4 to 6 thousand pounds each. The approximate quantity of soil to be stabilized is 1,300 cubic yards of which 5 to 10 cubic yards are required to be treated per day. The vendor shall provide all components into a functionally integrated soil stabilization package. It is envisioned that the end product will be moist, friable soil for the stabilization of RCRA listed materials. The vendor shall be responsible for all support equipment and safety features that provide for a complete system that is fully operational and compliant with all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. A high intensity mixer unit producing a fully homogenous blend in a minimum time is desirable. The mixer may be permanently installed, but support equipment may need to be portable or mobile for efficient use of available space. Alternatively, a system mounted to transportable skids may be a desirable feature. It is desirable that the vendor have experience working with CERCLA administered radioactive clean-up sites. The complexity of the soil stabilization system shall be kept to a minimum using standard commercially available products. Elaborate systems are not desirable. A draft copy of the process's salient and desirable features may be obtained by contacting the POC. BBWI anticipates issuing a Request for Proposal by 06/01/2001 and award a subcontract in fiscal year 2001. Nothing in this Request for Interest (RFI) constitutes an obligation on the part of BBWI or the INEEL to issue an RFP package and/or award a contract for the aforementioned system.
