The purpose of the Program is to collect environmental and ecological data, interpret those data, and provide information to DOE-ID, stakeholders, and the public on potential environmental impacts from INL operations and the general state of INL Site?s natural environment. Environmental surveillance services involve collection of samples of various media on, near the boundary of, and distant to the INL Site for analysis of radionuclide content. Wildlife, habitat, vegetation, and other environmental survey services as well as discrete research projects in these areas are included in the scope, including INL-resident species that may become listed under the Endangered Species Act.

The INL Site is currently operated for the DOE by Battelle Energy Alliance.

The RFP is anticipated to be released on FedConnect https://www.fedconnect.net/ on or about July 28, 2015. Additional technical reference library information and weblinks will be posted to an ESER web page (currently inactive) at http://www.id.energy.gov/eser/index.html on or prior to the RFP release date.
