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 support construction of the Production Support Facility (PSF) at the Specific Manufacturing Capability (SMC) complex on the INL.
II. PROCESS
BEA is seeking qualified firms to compete for the construction contract in support of the SMC PSF 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. Based on the responses to this EOI, BEA will determine the source selection process. At this time, either a best value award or a low-cost, technically capable award process are envisioned. Under a best value award process, technical and price advantage will be evaluated and weighed to determine the successful offeror. Under a low-cost, technically capable award process, prices of technically sound proposals will be used to determine the selected offeror. The contract type for construction of the PSF will be fixed price. Construction is expected to be less than $20M.
Interested firms are advised that RFP release is anticipated in January 2023 and the source selection/award decision is anticipated in February 2023. 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/
index.php/downloads/); both of these agreements are enforced in accordance with agreements set forth between the Construction Trades, DOE, and BEA.
