PROJECT INFORMATION: The work and services to be accomplished will consist of providing, on an individual task order basis, highly technical and specialized nuclear engineering, environmental engineering, design reviews, engineering support during construction; plan and specification reviews, preparation of Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) drawing reviews, construction management, technical review of decontamination, decommissioning and demolition of nuclear facilities to include nuclear quality assurance, environmental remediation, and project controls. This work supports mission which include supporting the various customers listed above. Each of these agencies rely on LRH in assisting them to deliver high quality and safe engineering products in support supplies are stable, and the integrity of national security is maintained.

There will be a requirement for capacity to field multiple teams of highly trained individuals in multi-disciplines to perform nuclear engineering and construction services within a 3 to 12 month time frame at multiple sites and have the ability to manage multiple tasks/projects within very stringent timeframes.

Team members shall be fully trained in various engineering and construction functions associated with the design and construction of larger scale civil works, environmental, and DOE cleanup and construction projects. Team members are also required to have senior level experience in the environmental and construction engineering fields and be licensed engineers with certifications in engineering and construction. Also, team members should be able to obtain Department of Energy clearances to work on DOE project sites. The firm shall have the capacity to field three to five teams consisting of 10 to 20 individuals at any given time to accomplish and achieve customer contractual commitments and schedule deadlines. The firm performing the work will be required to have senior level management that has the capability to manage multiple tasks/projects within very stringent time frames. Individuals shall be trained in CADD, QC/QA construction inspection, Construction Safety, Design and Geotechnical Software, MCACES, MII, Primavera Scheduling Software, Microsoft Professional, Microsoft Access and Acrobat Reader-Writer for the publication of documents and cost estimates.

The firm will be required to provide the appropriate personnel, materials, equipment, management, quality and cost controls to perform all phases of engineering and construction services to include, but not limited to, planning engineering investigations/studies; designs; reports; construction plans and specifications; cost estimates; general construction and engineering type surveys; and related services;

Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD); construction inspection/quality assurance and startup/commissioning of facilities. Work shall be accomplished in full compliance with established Corps of Engineers and/or Department of Energy manuals, policies, standards and practices and other professional practices and standards as necessitated by project conditions or job requirement. Drawings must be prepared on a CADD System (the tri-Services CADD Standards) and must be 100% compatible with Intergraph CADD system or translated at 100% compatibility for the A-E. Capability for scanning hard copy into the CADD and 3D design are also preferred. Work may require using the metric system. All work shall be prepared to be compatible with MS Windows and all specifications shall use SPECSINTACT format. Prospective firms must have experience in all aspects of engineering and construction services for civil works, environmental, Department of Energy (DOE) and military projects.

SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed in descending order of importance. Criteria A thru E are primary and are significantly more important than the remaining criteria. Criteria F is secondary and will only be used as a tie-breaker among firms that are essentially technically equal:
