ARTICLE 3 LOCATION/HOURS OF WORK/SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

1. The Contractor shall perform comprehensive radiation safety surveys on approximately 900 laboratories, storage areas, and corridors in facilities that operate under the auspices of NIH's NRC licenses. Most of these facilities are located in Bethesda, MD. There are, however, satellite locations in Gaithersburg, MD, Rockville, MD, Poolesville, MD, Frederick, MD, and Baltimore, MD. The surveys will be spread relatively evenly throughout the month in which they are due.

2. The Contractor shall conduct approximately 5700 monthly surveys each month, spread evenly throughout the month. Having the Contractor perform all monthly surveys is a new DRS service provided to all research labs under this contract. The DRS is responsible for arranging for performance of and payment for this service in all NIH posted labs. The Contractor shall monitor (using the appropriate meters) and take contamination surveys in each lab, regardless of radioactive material use history during the month.

3. In accordance with DRS standard operating procedures, the Contractor shall prepare all contractor-generated swipes and load them into the appropriate counter in the DRS analytical laboratory or at a backup location designated by DRS. If possible, these swipes will receive priority processing by the analytical lab and results will be returned to the contactor as soon as possible. Swipes from the patient therapy rooms shall also be analyzed in the analytical lab. They can be prepared and loaded any time during the day they were collected. All other contractor-generated swipes shall be prepared and loaded between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on the day they were collected. DRS will analyze these swipes and report the results to the Contractor by 2:00 p.m. on the day the surveys are due.

4. The Contractor shall perform checks on security of radioactive materials based on a computer-generated list that specifies areas to be checked weekdays, some to be checked weekday evenings (between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.), and some to be checked on weekends. The frequency of security checks in a particular area is based on the history of that area's compliance with the DRS security policy, and in some cases, the presence of perimeter security systems. Frequencies are determined by DRS staff.

5. Complete decontamination of the patient therapy rooms for release as an unrestricted area is required approximately 70 times per year. Ordinarily, the decontamination can be completed over 2 or 3 days. However, it shall be completed within 1 work day if directed by the COR or designee.

6. Decontamination and preparation of the patient therapy rooms between patient therapy patients is required approximately 100 times per year and shall be completed within 1 work day of notification.

7. The Contractor shall inspect and calibrate (on-site) survey meters used only for contamination monitoring. The method of calibration must be submitted and approved by DRS. Any changes to the method must be approved by DRS before they are implemented. There are approximately 900 such survey meters located at the facilities specified on NIH's NRC broad scope license.

8. The Contractor shall calibrate approximately 100 instruments which are used for measurement of exposure or dose equivalent rates at the facilities specified on NIH's NRC license. Most of these instruments can be taken off-site for calibration. However, a few are non-portable instruments, e.g., wall-mounted alarms that must be calibrated on-site.

9. The Contractor shall provide to the COR telephone numbers by which Contractor staff can be reached during the workday.

10. All contract personnel are required to wear appropriate personnel dosimeters. These dosimeters will be supplied by DRS unless other arrangements are made with the COR. The dosimetry service must be National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) certified and the dose data must be provided to DRS to assure compliance with NRC license conditions.

11. Each contract staff member is required to carry a mobile device capable of receiving and delivering phone calls and email while performing duties required under this contract.

12. Contract staff will receive initial on the job training in some aspects of the contractual requirements (e.g. data entry mechanisms, use of internal Oracle database, report generation, report filing, etc.). In the event that, after receiving the NIH provided instruction, any of the Contractor's employees is replaced, the Contractor shall provide training for the replacement employees.

ARTICLE 7 WEEKLY SURVEYS

ARTICLE 8 10 CFR 35 WEEKLY SURVEYS

10 CFR 35.70 no longer requires daily contamination surveys; however, it still requires daily ambient radiation dose rate measurements only where written directive type activities are conducted (dose preparation and administration rooms). DRS license commitments require weekly contamination surveys of those areas.

The revised 10 CFR 35 has deleted most survey requirements that were previously specifically required. For example, 10 CFR § 35.70 no longer requires daily contamination surveys of all areas where radiopharmaceuticals are routinely prepared for use or administered, weekly surveys of radiopharmaceutical storage or radiopharmaceutical waste storage areas, or weekly surveys for removable contamination. Also, the revised 10 CFR § 35.315 deletes the requirement to survey the radiopharmaceutical therapy patient's room and private sanitary facility for removable contamination before assigning another patient to the room.

Some survey requirements have been retained in the revised 10 CFR 35. For example, a) revised 10 CFR § 35.70 does require radiation dose rate surveys at the end of each day in areas where unsealed byproduct material requiring a written directive is prepared for use or administered; b) 10 CFR 35.315 requires either monitoring material and items removed from the patient's room or handling the material and items as radioactive waste. Note that 10 CFR § 35.70(a) provides that the surveys to be performed under that provision are in addition to Part 20 survey requirements. Other survey requirements can be found in 10 CFR § 35.75 (possible surveys), § 35.92, § 35.315(a)(3), § 35.404, § 35.415, § 35.604, and § 35.652.

1. The number of labs on weekly 10 CFR 35 survey frequency may change at any time.

2. An estimated 180 10 CFR 35 weekly surveys shall be performed per 12-month period.

3. Each month, the Contractor shall download data on the laboratories due for 10 CFR 35 weekly surveys to devices such as tablet PCs or ipads and conduct these weekly surveys in all relevant NIH posted labs. The Contractor shall use these devices in the field to collect survey data electronically. In the event that a device is not functioning properly or is unavailable, the Contractor shall document survey results on paper forms and enter the data into the DRS database.

4. The Contractor shall monitor using appropriate survey meters and perform contamination smear surveys, taking 10 swipes per module in various areas such as but not limited to the floor, benches on which radioactive materials are used, sinks, and refrigerators in which radioactive materials are stored, in all relevant posted labs during 10 CFR 35 weekly surveys, regardless of whether or not radioactive materials have been used in each lab since the last survey.

5. The Contractor shall document the results of each 10 CFR weekly survey on an NIH Form 88-12, "Monthly Laboratory Contamination Survey", or electronic equivalent, ensuring that the designation of the modules matches those in DRS's database.

6. The Contractor shall submit each 10 CFR 35 weekly survey to the COR or designee by 4:00 p.m. the second workday following the survey.

7. If a 10 CFR 35 weekly survey showed a violation of Item 20 (contamination levels), the Contractor shall send the AU the appropriate "fact sheet" created by DRS to inform the AU how to correct the violation.

8. The Contractor shall enter or transmit data to the DRS database within one workday.

ARTICLE 9 ALPHA SURVEYS OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL AREAS

1. Each month, the Contractor shall conduct surveys in all NIH posted labs. The contractor may also need to conduct a (following alpha therapy administration) survey in a dose preparation and patient administration rooms following alpha therapy administrations.

2. An estimated 30 alpha lab surveys shall be performed per 12-month period.

3. The Contractor shall monitor using appropriate survey meters and and take 10 swipes per module in various areas, such as but not limited to, the floor, benches, chairs, or beds on which radioactive materials are used, sinks, and refrigerators in which radioactive materials are stored in all posted labs during monthly surveys or following therapeutic administration of alpha emitters when alpha emitters have been used since the last survey.

3. The Contractor shall document the results of each survey on an NIH Form 88-12, "Monthly Laboratory Contamination Survey", or electronic equivalent, ensuring that the designation of the modules matches those in DRS's database.

4. The Contractor shall submit each alpha lab survey to the COR or designee by 4:00 p.m. the second workday following the survey.

5 If an alpha survey showed a violation of Item 20 (contamination levels), the Contractor shall send the AU the appropriate "fact sheet" created by DRS to inform the AU how to correct the violation.

6. The Contractor shall enter or transmit data to the DRS database within one workday.

ARTICLE 10 NATURALLY OCCURRING ALPHA SURVEYS

1. Annually, the Contractor shall conduct surveys for naturally occurring alpha emitters in all NIH labs using such compounds (i.e. Uranyl Acetate, Uranyl Nitrate, Thorium Nitrate or any other naturally occurring alpha radioactive material). If the lab is also posted for radioactive material use, this survey should be included as part of a comprehensive survey.

2. An estimated 40 naturally occurring alpha surveys shall be performed per 12-month period.

3. The Contractor shall monitor using appropriate survey meters and perform contamination surveys in such NIH labs during annual surveys, regardless of whether or not radioactive materials have been used in each lab since the last survey.

5. The Contractor shall submit each naturally occurring alpha survey to the COR or designee by 4:00 p.m. the second workday following the survey.

6. If a naturally occurring alpha survey showed a violation of Item 20 (contamination levels), the Contractor shall send the AU the appropriate "fact sheet" created by DRS to inform the AU how to correct the violation.

7. The Contractor shall enter or transmit data to the DRS database within one workday.

ARTICLE 11 LAB CLEARANCE SURVEYS

The contractor shall perform enhanced clearance surveys on individual laboratory and partial building floors that DRS has determined do not warrant a full Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation manual (MARSSIM) style final status survey. However, the scope of the surveys may be modified by the COR. The COR may also designate DRS personnel to perform these surveys instead of the contractor. An estimated 100 lab clearance surveys shall be performed per 12-month period. The contractor shall complete lab clearances within 5, 10, or 14 business days (longer if agreed upon by COR, since there may be a specific expected date outside 10 business days), depending on the classification of the survey: Urgent, Standard, or Other. However, a lab clearance shall be completed within 1 work day if directed by the COR or designee. A typical lab clearance (single module) is expected to require 10 smears, with 10 additional smears in high RAM use areas within the lab, and 10 more if long-lived RAM was used. Lab clearance surveys shall be of sufficient quality that the laboratory space would no longer be considered impacted by MARSSIM standards. Laboratory spaces that undergo this enhanced clearance survey shall be considered approved for unrestricted use or renovation. These enhanced surveys shall typically be performed on laboratory space that will be renovated and do not have the potential for long-lived contamination to be present in inaccessible spaces: behind cabinets, in hood ductwork, or underneath floor tiles, etc. Labs that are not free of equipment and fully vacant are not subject to this type of clearance survey. Instead, these lab clearances will be performed by a DRS HP for the sole purpose of down-posting the laboratory; however, such labs will require an enhanced clearance or MARSSIM survey in the future. A DRS HP will perform a historical site assessment (HSA) by compiling the data below and a preclearance inspection to ensure the lab is free from radioactive materials and waste, empty and free of clutter, a closeout survey was performed, DRS database reflects no remaining RAM inventory or outstanding orders and a Green Sheet has been submitted to reflect the lab inactivation.

The DRS HP HSA shall consist of the following prior to the contractor conducting the enhanced clearance survey:

1. A history of radionuclides used in the laboratory by authorized user

2. A history of radionuclides by building and laboratory location

3. A history of radionuclides by waste pick up

4. A history of the laboratory’s contamination events

5. A search of spills and events

6. A search of lab comments for any relevant information related to a different room designation, or historic information

The contractor shall document the enhanced clearance survey which must include a lab diagram, the room designation, and room measurements. The survey shall include, as an attachment, the findings from the data review conducted prior to the enhanced clearance survey.

The contractor shall perform scan surveys with radiological detection equipment capable of detecting beta and gamma emitting radionuclides at screening level of 220 dpm/100cm2 and alpha emitting radionuclides at a screening level of 22 dpm/100cm2. The scan MDC and total efficiency shall be calculated using the method described in MARSSIM 6.7, NUREG-1507 3.1 and Chapter 6. The scan survey must include the following:

1. 100% survey of the floor

2. 100% survey of bench tops

3. 100% survey of chemical fume hood horizontal surface and 50% of vertical surface

4. 50 % survey of casework and walls to five feet above the floor

5. 100% survey of all sink drains

The contractor shall perform a removable smear survey using health physics industry standards to cover at least 100 cm2 per smear. Each laboratory shall have a smear sample over no greater area than 10 ft2 on floors, benches and casework and generally be equally spaced. The following areas require additional smears over no greater than 4 ft2 and generally equally spaced:

1. Under the counter waste storage areas

2. Chemical fume hoods, whereby an additional two smears or swabs behind the baffle are required

3. Bench surface(s) and lip(s) that were demarcated with “Caution Radioactive Material” labels/tape.

ARTICLE 12 SECURITY CHECKS

1. Using a computer-generated list, the Contractor shall do a walkthrough of each facility scheduled for security checks to ensure compliance with the current DRS policy for securing radioactive materials.

2. An estimated 55 normal business hour and 190 after-hours security checks shall be performed per 12-month period.

3. Regardless of whether or not a particular lab is posted for the use and/or storage of radioactive materials, the Contractor shall determine if the lab is locked or occupied. If it is neither locked nor occupied, the Contractor shall determine whether or not any unsecured radioactive materials are present.

4. In addition to looking for unsecured radioactive waste and other radioactive materials in plain view, the Contractor shall carefully open labeled refrigerators and freezers to check for unsecured radioactive materials. However, the Contractor shall not rummage through refrigerator/freezers.

RFP Number 75N98020R00014

5. The Contractor shall also check for unsecured radioactive materials in corridors and other unrestricted areas in each facility scheduled for security checks. In unrestricted areas, the Contractor shall check refrigerators and freezers for unsecured radioactive materials and shall be alert for unattended packages of radioactive material.

6. The Contractor shall document the results of security checks on DRS Form 003 "Laboratory Surveillance Program" or electronic equivalent.

7. If unsecured radioactive materials are present, the Contractor shall describe them in detail (i.e., radionuclide, physical form, activity, number of containers, labeled or unlabeled, how full if unsecured waste containers) in the section labeled "Violations Noted." In addition, the Contractor shall describe any interactions he/she had with lab personnel regarding the violation and how access was gained to the lab. The Contractor shall also note the name and DRS number of the Authorized User associated with the laboratory, if applicable.

8. The Contractor shall not cite as a violation, unsecured, unattended radioactive waste containers or other labeled items, which appear to be empty.

9. Whenever possible the Contractor shall correct the apparent violation by securing the area or the materials. If the Contractor is unable to correct the violation and it involves source vials, he/she shall immediately notify the DRS by calling the main number, 301-496-5774 (workdays), or if after hours, via the emergency call list provided to the Contractor by the COR. The Contractor may be directed to confiscate the source vial(s) and place them in secure storage in Building 21. The Contractor shall be given specific instructions for each satellite building for the event of finding unsecured source vials that cannot be secured at the satellite facility.

10. The Contractor shall submit "Lab Surveillance Program" forms to the NIH COR by 4:00 p.m. of the first workday following the security checks.

11. With a minimum of 8 hours of advance notice, the Contractor shall conduct emergency security checks of specified areas within a time frame established by the COR or designee. The time frame may include daytime, evenings, or weekends.

12. The Contractor shall enter or transmit data to the DRS database within one workday.

ARTICLE 13 PREPARATION AND DECONTAMINATION OF PATIENT THERAPY

ROOMS

The NIH Clinical Research Center (CRC) maintains an inpatient I-131 therapy program in which greater than 33 millicuries of I-131 is administered to patients orally or intravenously. NIH also performs Lu-177, Th-227, Ra-223 and Y-90 patient therapies in other locations including the CRC Intensive Care Unit, NCI Molecular Imaging Program and any other location that the NIH Radiation Safety Committee approves for therapeutic administrations. While I-131 therapies are systemic, whereby all body fluids are contaminated; primary contamination from Lu-177, Th-227, Ra-223 and Y-90 therapies will come from urination. In some cases, the I-131 patient is kept in isolation until eligible for release in accordance with NRC regulations; however, most Lu-177, Th-227, and Y-90 patients will be released from either of the two designated isolation rooms with instructions relating to members of the public. These rooms are not currently solely dedicated for patient therapies, and will be used interchangeably between the different types of therapies in addition to housing the typical clinical non-radioactive patients in the interim. Therefore, unless another therapy is imminent, the rooms need to be decontaminated for unrestricted use following release of the patient within one working day of notification if between patient therapies (i.e.

approximately 100 therapy room resets for restricted use per 12-month period) or 2 or 3 days (approximately 70 full therapy room decontaminations for unrestricted use per 12-month period) unless directed to be completed within one day by COR or designee if for complete decontamination relating to unrestricted area release. The Contractor shall properly prepare the rooms prior to therapies to prevent surface contamination in accordance with the radionuclide therapy being planned, and then monitor and decontaminate the rooms after the therapy patients have left or been released in accordance with NRC regulations. Preparation and decontamination of the rooms after Iodine-131 therapy patients have been released shall be in accordance with Attachment 2.

14. The method of calibration must be approved by DRS prior to its implementation. Any change in the method must be approved by DRS before being used.

15. The Contractor shall also calibrate and maintain upkeep of three DRS floor (gas proportional) monitors (windowless tritium probes) so that they are deployable when needed. DRS floor monitors may be used on an ad hoc basis by contractor personnel as directed by DRS to perform close-out surveys of a lab, specifically where long-lived radionuclides were used.

16. The Contractor shall enter or transmit all associated data into the DRS database within one work day.

17. On a daily basis the Contractor shall maintain the master listing survey meters requiring calibrations on the DRS computer, including corrections, additions, and deletions.

ARTICLE 16 QUALITY ASSURANCE

The Contractor shall develop and implement a comprehensive quality assurance plan to ensure compliance with the requirements in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), including procedures and deadlines. The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) (Attachment 5) starting on the date the contract is awarded.

As part of the Government Evaluation of Contractor performance, DRS may accompany Surveyors performing comprehensive surveys, conduct a separate survey following a comprehensive survey, or interview the Authorized User of a lab that the Contractor has recently surveyed. The Government may implement additional QA evaluations at its discretion. In all cases, the Contractor shall coordinate with DRS as needed to accomplish the evaluation.

Monthly Quality…
