Description

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District intends to issue a Request For Proposal No.: DACW45-01-R-0003 on or about 16 July 2001 for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) type contract under NAICS Code 56211 for the transportation of low-activity radioactive materials from the Denver Radium Superfund Sites to an off-site disposal facility. This will be a firm-fixed price (unit price) contract, which is 100 percent set aside for qualified small businesses. The ID/IQ will have a base period of three years with two one-year options. The magnitude of this project will be approximately $5 -- 10 Million U.S. Dollars. The purpose of the contract will be for the transportation of radioactive materials from any property impacted by the Denver Radium Superfund Sites. The Government will designate the disposal facility and disposal is not part of this contract. The transportation contractor will be responsible for providing gondola rail cars (or other suitable shipping containers), transportation of materials from the project site to the disposal facility, logistics management, shipping papers, decontamination and management of all containers, compliance with all Federal, State and Local laws and regulations and other related activities as necessary. The transportation contractor will be selected on the basis of experience, past performance, price and technical factors. Price evaluation will be made on the basis of the combined costs of transportation, disposal and related costs. The base contract and the first task order will be awarded simultaneously. The first task order will be for the transportation of low-activity radioactive materials from the Shattuck project site located in Denver, Colorado to a disposal facility designated by the Government. Currently USACE has three facilities under contract for the disposal of this type of material. These facilities are Envirocare of Salt Lake City, Utah; Waste Control Specialists, LLC of Andrews, Texas; and U.S. Ecology, Idaho of Grand View, Idaho. Unit prices for disposal and related costs will be set forth in the solicitation. Proposals can submitted for transportation to any or all of the facilities. It is anticipated that the Shattuck material will meet the Department of Transportation classification of non-regulated or perhaps "Environmentally Hazardous Substances, Solid" N.O.S., Class 9, UN3077. There are anticipated to be approximately 84,500 cubic yards of monolith material and 3,500 cubic yards of foundation soil for disposal. A Pre-Proposal conference will be held in Denver, Colorado. The time and date of the Pre-Proposal conference will be contained in the solicitation package and will be posted on the website address listed below.
