I. INTRODUCTION
Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), Management & Operating Contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) owned Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is seeking an Expression of Interest (EOI) from prospective offerors to design and construct a Maintenance Support Building at the Advanced Test Reactor(ATR) facility on the INL site.
II. PROCESS
BEA is seeking qualified firms (or firms willing to qualify) to compete for the award of a design-bid-build contract in support of the ATR Maintenance Support Building project. As determined by BEA, responders to this EOI may receive a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will require detailed technical and price proposals be provided for evaluation and ranking under a source selection process. A low-cost technically capable award decision will be utilized, where prices of technically sound proposals will be used to determine the selected bidder.
Interested firms are advised that RFP release is anticipated in summer 2018 and will include the final engineering design and design specifications. The project is fully funded and the start of construction is anticipated as soon as practicable after source selection and award (weather dependent). The contract award type will be firm-fixed price. All construction work on the INL site is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and the INL Site Stabilization and Jurisdictional Agreements (available at http://sitelaborcoordinator.com/public-agreements/); both of these agreements are enforced in accordance with agreements set forth between the Construction Trades, DOE, and BEA.
III. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The building will be constructed at ATR on the INL. ATR is located approximately 50 miles west of Idaho Falls, Idaho. The building will be located inside the ATR security boundary. The facility will be divided into a weld shop, kitting/staging area, as well as two offices, tool crib, storage area, and mezzanine. Overall building size will be approximately 18,000 sq. ft. Conceptual floor plan and artist rendering of the facility are provided for information.
