99 -- SERVICES FOR THE ON-SITE TREATMENT OF SPENT FUEL STORAGE POOL WATER AND/OR THE PACKAGING OF RESULTING FILTER RESIDUES AND SPENT ION EXCHANGE RESINS FOR DISPOSAL Due 041495. Contact James O. Knight, (509) 376-0372. Organizations having capabilities and experience in the treatment of radioactive contaminated water are invited to submit information demonstrating their qualifications, experience, and interest to provide the services described in this synopsis. This is not a Request for Proposal, but a request for an expression of interest to perform such work. The K Basins (two spent fuel storage pools referred to as K west and K east) at the Hanford Site are to be defueled and decommissioned. The water will be treated as necessary for clarity and dose rate control to support defueling, and as needed to support desludging and decommissioning. Each basin contains approximately 4600 m3 of water. The K west basin contains 961 metric tons of spent fuel in sealed containers and the K east basin contains 1150 metric tons of spent fuel in open containers. The fuel in both basins is to be removed (by others) over a 2 year period from 1998 to 2000. Substantial amounts of soluble and insoluble radioactive contaminates (including transuranics) may be released to the water during the defueling and/or desludging operations. Water Treatment - The Seller will furnish and optionally operate water treatment systems and components adequate to maintain K basin water clarity and purity to facilitate spent nuclear fuel, sludge, and debris removal (scheduled 1997 to 2000) and final basin preparations for turnover to the Environmental and Restoration Management Contractor (scheduled for 2000 to 2002). The Buyer will provide performance specifications for suspended and dissolved solids capacities and efficiencies. Packaging - The Seller may be asked to furnish packages for filter residues and/or expended resins for both interim storage and final disposal of radioactive and transuranic wastes. The Seller may optionally operate the packaging activity, including delivery to the interim storage and/or disposal site. General - In responding to this advertisement, the Seller shall describe past experience furnishing water treatment and waste packaging systems as relevant to the Seller's scope of interest. In doing so, the Seller shall submit their QA program and list 10CFR 71 and 10CFR 72 certificate numbers. Requests for consideration, expressions of interest, and descriptions of capabilities must be in writing. Company brochures are not an adequate substitute for written detailed information. The Buyer will not award a contract on the basis of the synopsis nor compensate any respondent for responding to this announcement. The Buyer reserves the right to solicit proposals for any or all of the above systems through one or more contracts, including existing contracts, where obvious cost and or schedule savings to the government are possible. Written expressions of qualifications, experience, and interest are due by the close of business April 14, 1995. (069)
