F -- DECISION ANALYSIS SCIENCE MODELING FOR APPLICATION AND FIELD SELECTION APPLIED TO CONCRETE DECONTAMINATION TECHNOLOGIES SOL HCET009 DUE 022897 POC Dr M.A. Ebadian (305) 348-3585, Joseph Boudreaux (305) 348-1641 The Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology (HCET) at Florida International University (FIU) is seeking innovative technologies to conduct an engineering study for the comparative analysis of surface removal technologies for concrete floors. The study is being performed to support the U.S. Department of Energy. The study will be conducted at the campus of FIU in Miami, Florida. Each technology will be tested by removing concrete from a coated and a noncoated concrete floor. The operating time will provide sufficient time to collect the operational and safety information required to evaluate each technology. Additional data will be collected on the capital costs, maintenance costs, and equipment staging/destaging costs. The surrogate includes a concrete pad twenty feet by forty feet surrounded by a six inch high dike. Half of this area (twenty feet by twenty feet) will be coated with epoxy urethane. The surrogate will not be radiologically contaminated. The qualified suppliers will be asked to optimize the operation of the technology as it is applied to each surrogate. Qualified firms shall also state the maximum depth of concrete removal in a single application. Interested firms should send a Letter of Qualification including address, contact, telephone and fax numbers to Joseph Boudreaux, Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology at Florida International University, Engineering and Applied Science, Suite 2100, Miami, Florida 33199 no later than 2/28/97. The letters of qualification will be used to prequalify proposed firms. The RFP will be available to the qualified firms approximately 3/14/97.***** (0031)
