F -- TREATING MIXED LOW LEVEL WASTE STREAMS SOL 340BURFP8-8E DUE 032098 POC David Barsness 505-667-4270 or 505-667-1173; fax 505-665-7328 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the above via email., bars@lanl.gov. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: The Waste Management Group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory requests qualified vendors to submit budgetary cost proposals for treating the following Mixed Low Level Waste Streams: 1) Approximately 5,000 kilograms of lithium hydride scrap and associated debris (cloth rags, steel, aluminum, graphite and plastic). The lithium hydride is contaminated with depleted uranium and may contain up to 70% depleted uranium by volume. The waste is contained in forty-nine steel drums. The applicable EPA hazardous waste code assigned to this waste stream is D003. 2) Approximately 512 cubic feet of general building debris contaminated with mercury from flourescent bulbs. The debris consists of wood, plastic, paper, rubber, rags, glass, concrete and light bulbs. The debris is contaminated with plutonium-239 at levels less than 1 picocurie per gram. The waste is contained in four sift-proof wooden boxes. The applicable EPA hazardous waste code assigned to this waste stream is D009 (low mercury). The treatment must be performed at a RCRA Part B permitted facility which is also licensed (by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or appropriate Agreement State) to receive, store and treat radioactive materials. All respondents MUST submit copies of valid permits/licenses WITH proposals. This work may NOT be performed under the Treatability Studies Exception in 40 CFR 261.4 or under a Research, Development, and Demonstration Permit. At the conclusion of treatment, an analysis of treated wastes is required to demonstrate that all applicable treatment standards (under 40 CFR 268)have been met. In addition, a written certification from the facility stating that the waste meets Land Disposal Restrictions standards will be required. All residual waste will be shipped back to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The facility must be able to receive both waste streams prior to April 30, 1998 Only those who qualify are asked to provide company name, address, contact name, phone and fax numbers to receive the RFP.
