Table of Contents

Contractors shall refer to the solicitation documents for the minimal submission requirements and instructions pertaining to this project. The contractor shall provide services during construction as outlined in this statement of work, as well as associated design documents, drawings, and specifications. These construction services shall be provided to the Veterans Affairs Bedford Healthcare System (VABHCS), located at 200 Springs Rd., Bedford, MA 01730, all in accordance with this Statement Of Work (SOW) and applicable contract terms or conditions.

1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Buildings 17, 18, 70 and 79 are located on the VA Bedford campus, an area that includes an active hospital and multiple other inpatient and outpatient clinical facilities. The buildings are used for various administrative and research purposes. The buildings were previously used for research that included the use of various medical isotopes. Before any demolition or redevelopment efforts can proceed, a comprehensive radiological decommissioning process must be undertaken. Only after the successful completion of this decommissioning can the building be safely removed or repurposed, paving the way for future development that better serves the needs of the VA community.

2 PROJECT PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION

The intent is to select a qualified contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, and supervision required for the radiological decommissioning of approximately 20 rooms (approximately 6,300 square feet total) in Buildings 17, 18, 70 and 79 at the VA Bedford Health Care System Bedford Campus, Bedford, MA. These services will include the review of a historical site assessment and radiological final status survey in accordance with the Multiagency Site Survey and Investigation Manual (MARSSIM). All work shall be performed in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, and in accordance with the project narrative and referenced standards.

VA Bedford Health Care System is licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to perform research using typical medical isotopes including C-14, H-3, I-125, P- 32, and S-35. Areas where radioactive material was used or stored requiring decommissioning are located in Buildings 17, 18, 70 and 79 at the Bedford campus. Closeout surveys have been performed on Buildings 17, 18, 70 and 79 by the hospital Radiation Safety Officer (RSO).

3 PROJECT SCOPE

3.1 Decommissioning

The decommissioning shall include:

· Review of the Historical Site Assessment.

· Analysis of room/area physical data including:

· Size and dimensions,

· Documentation of existing installed equipment and systems (including fume hoods, sinks, plumbing, drains, ventilation, etc.),

· Documentation of any remaining non-installed furniture/items (including laboratory equipment),

· Documentation of suspect radiological and hazardous materials (i.e. asbestos, mercury, etc.)- mixed waste,

· Documentation of suspect radiological contaminated items (including laboratory equipment).

· Provide raw lab results.

· Removal of radioactive waste from Building 79.

3.2 Final Status Survey Plan - Develop and execute a Final Status Survey Plan, in accordance with MARRSSIM requirements, which includes the systematic survey and sampling of affected and unaffected areas. For affected areas, there will be a collection of biased radiological survey data in locations with the potential to have residual radioactive material such as:

· Drain drains and lines

· Floors, wall, cabinet drawers

· Fume Hoods and laboratory benches

· Sinks, and

· Posted Storage locations

· Equipment

· Analysis and survey of equipment such as microfuges, liquid scintillation counters etc.

If situations are identified that would trigger the requirements of 10 CFR 30.36 (g)(1), the contractor would notify the Radiation Safety Officer before proceeding with remediation in such areas. It is the responsibility of the contractor to collect, store, and remove such hazardous waste as part of this contract hazardous waste. This may be performed by the contractor through a broker or subcontract.

3.8 Space and Accommodations for Contractor - It is anticipated that the contractor will require as much as three weeks (contiguous or non-contiguous) to complete this contract. The contractor is strongly encouraged to provide lock boxes and other security measures to safeguard property.
