2.0 INTRODUCTION

WRPS is planning to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in the first quarter of FY 2018 for construction services that include furnishing the design, materials, equipment, and labor to construct and test the new Low Active Waste Pretreatment System (LAWPS) Facility on the Department of Energy's (DOE) Hanford Site located in southeastern Washington State. This project is governed by DOE Order 413.3B, “Program and Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets,” with stringent Quality and Earned Value Management System requirements.

3.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The DOE Office of River Protection (ORP) currently manages approximately 56 million gallons of highly radioactive mixed waste that is stored in underground tanks at the Hanford Site, located in southeastern Washington State. ORP is constructing a set of new facilities, collectively referred to as the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP), which will be used to treat and vitrify these nuclear wastes.

mailto:[email protected]





The LAWPS Project will separate High Level Waste (HLW) components from Low Activity Waste (LAW) components by filtration and ion exchange and will stage the treated LAW in Lag Storage Tanks. From these staging tanks, the waste will be transferred to the Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) LAW facility where it will be immobilized through a vitrification process. Construction of the LAWPS Facility will enable the U.S. Department of Energy to treat and immobilize Hanford Tank Waste.

WRPS has formed an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Projects organization to execute the design and construction of the LAWPS Project. The construction phase of the project will be surrounded by it’s a fence which will it isolated from other existing Hanford Facilities. SUBCONTRACTOR and WRPS EPC procedures specifically tailored to permit efficient (near greenfield) execution of this large complex project will be utilized throughout the construction phases. This Project, both design and construction phases, is being carried out in accordance with DOE Order 413.3B.

Although WRPS ultimately manages and controls activities necessary to execute the Project, LAWPS has established an Integrated Project Team with some of its functions including: 1) participating in weekly status meetings, design reviews, risk workshops, 2) Direct Feed LAW (DF LAW) Program strategy development, 3) budget planning, 4) project reviews, 5) variance analysis, and 6) project document development/maintenance. The LAWPS Project has engaged an Architect/Engineer (A/E) subcontractor to develop the preliminary and detailed design, who will remain engaged throughout the project execution. WRPS Engineering is acting as the Design Authority for the design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operation of the LAWPS Facility. WRPS has established the Construction Management Team (CMT), as a subset of the IPT. The selected construction subcontractor awarded the construction subcontract for the facility will be a key member of the CMT. The subcontractor must have the experience and ability to engineer, procure and construct complex projects that include safety significant systems. The LAWPS has been evaluated per the methodology in DOE-STD-1027-92, “Hazard Categorization and Accident Analysis Techniques for Compliance with DOE Order 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports,” to be a Hazard Category 2 nuclear facility (i.e., hazard analysis shows the potential to release sufficient quantities of hazardous material and energy during a design basis accident to result in significant consequences to on-site facility workers). The facility documented safety analysis identifies the resulting selected nuclear safety controls that include safety-significant (SS) structures, systems, and components (SSCs) along with technical safety requirements and other defense-in-depth design and administrative features. Assurance that installed SSCs can be relied upon to perform their intended preventive or mitigating functions requires adherence to a rigorous acquisition processes. The subcontractor must have an established Quality Assurance Program meeting ASME NQA-1 2008/2009 Parts I and II requirements, an approved Cost Accounting System, and have a certified Earned Value Management System. Additionally, the subcontractor and sub-tier subcontractors must have an average Safety Experience Modification Rate (EMR) rating of 1.0 or below for the last three years.

WRPS will direct the commissioning for the project with support provided by the construction subcontractor. The WRPS Test Director will utilize resources provided by the Subcontractor to carry out system testing and acceptance prior to transfer of the facility to operations.

WRPS is issuing a separate Site Preparation Subcontract to clear, grub, level and gravel the site, install temporary construction offices to support WRPS Staff and the Full Construction Subcontractor, install temporary utilities, install construction fencing, and install an excavation support system to allow immediate vault construction to begin upon WRPS issuing a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for full





construction activities. This site preparation work is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of FY18 and be completed by the end of FY18.

BACKGROUND / INTRODUCTION

The fundamental purpose of the LAWPS Project T5L01 is to provide the capability to remove undissolved solids and radioactive cesium from Double Shell Tank (DST) supernatants and feed the treated waste directly to the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) Low Activity Waste (LAW) Vitrification Facility for immobilization. The project will be carried out under the DOE Order 413.3B, “Program and Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets.” The schedule objective is to provide a complete construction start up tested facility that feeds low active waste (LAW) to the Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) LAW Facility by the target date of TBD. The 60% design is complete and is anticipated to be finalized with comments incorporated mid-year 2017. The 90 % design completion is anticipated in the last quarter of FY2018 with DOE approval of Critical Decision 2/3 (CD-2/3) authorizing construction in early FY19. Early construction funding is being requested in a CD3A





package which is targeted for late in the first quarter of FY18. Full construction authorization CD-3 is expected in early FY19. See Figure 2.

Figure 2. LAWPS Timeline

The LAWPS is essential to the achievement of the overall Direct Feed LAW (DFLAW) mission described in the Department’s Hanford Tank Waste Retrieval, Treatment and Disposition Framework document. The mission requirements for DFLAW and the LAWPS portion of DFLAW are developed in the Direct Feed LAW Business Case (DOE/ORP-2013-01) and documented in the Mission Need Statement for the Low Activity Waste Pretreatment System at the Hanford Site (March 2014).

The LAWPS facility will be located on the 586-square-mile Hanford Site along the Columbia River in southeastern Washington State. The LAWPS facility will be located on the corner of WTP Loop Road and 4th Street as shown in (Figure 3). The LAWPS site is approximately 2000 feet west of the WTP construction site and 1500 feet northeast of the 241-AP Tank Farm (Figure 4). Access to the WTP site can be made from two primary routes; from Route 4 South (from the Wye or Rattlesnake barricades), north on Canton Avenue and then east on 4th Street, and from Route 11A (from the Wye, Rattlesnake or Yakima barricades) south on Canton Avenue and then east on 4th Street.





Figure 3. LAWPS Location





WRPS’s Design Agent is designing a majority of the project on a build to print basis. However, there will be several design elements within the construction scope that will be provided by the Construction SUBCONTRACTOR that will require design submittal approvals by WRPS’s Design Authority and Agent. These designs may be executed by the SUBCONTRACTOR’S vendors or sub-tiers, and will include a variety of equipment skids, control systems, tanks, and other engineered commodities. The construction sequence involves site preparation, excavation, foundations and structural work, tank fabrication, process equipment installation, utilities tie-in, system testing, instrument loop testing, and finally hot (or radioactive service) tie-in, which is outside the scope of this Subcontract.

Below are the anticipated phased construction subcontract scope descriptions based on each Project Critical Decisions Pre-Planning, CD-3A and CD-2/3. Each scope will require DOE funding authorizations.

Schedule Objective

The schedule objective is to provide a facility that feeds low active waste (LAW) to the Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) LAW Facility by the target date TBD. The project design is 60% complete. 90% design completion is anticipated in the last quarter of FY2018 with DOE approval of Critical Decision 2/3 authorizing construction (CD-2/3) near the end of the first quarter of FY 2019. Early construction funding is being requested in a CD3A package which is targeted for late in the first quarter of FY18.





The construction schedule will be very aggressive in order to meet DOE commitments to initiate tank waste treatment and disposal. The current construction schedule assumes working a rolling 4-10’s schedule for the construction in order to support the project completion dates.

The P6 schedule will be resource loaded including labor hours, equipment, and total cost of each activity. Critical path analysis, description of any variances and corrective action will be required as a monthly reporting requirement. Weekly updates to the target schedule will be required.

The current RFP schedule:

• Receipt of Responses for the Revised Expression of Interest - 10/20/17• Issue the RFP - 12/2017• Submittal of proposals to WRPS 4/2018• Award of the construction Subcontract(s) for Phase 1 - 4/18• Suspend Phase 1 Subcontract(s) 8/18• Issue Step 2 Procurement for Phases 2 through 4 – 8/18• Receive Step 2 proposals 11/18• Resume Phase 2 Work (1 Subcontractor) - 12/18

The LAWPS Facility will be a Hazard Category 2 nuclear facility which will be remotely operated. The LAWPS facility will receive compliant waste from AP Tank Farm, employ a cross-flow filtration (CFF) system to separate the solids from the waste and an ion exchange (IX) system to remove soluble radioactive cesium (Cs) from the filtered waste. Along with the capability to remove solids and Cs from the waste, the LAWPS facility will have waste transfer lines connecting LAWPS with AP Farm and LAWPS with WTP, and lag storage tanks to store the treated LAW. At the lag storage tanks, the WTP waste acceptance criteria (WAC) will be confirmed prior to the treated LAW being transferred to the WTP LAW Facility for vitrification. Waste will be transferred via in-ground, double-walled, waste transfer lines from the 241-AP Tank Farm to the LAWPS and from the LAWPS to the WTP. The solids removed by the CFF system are continuously returned to the AP Farms and the Cs removed by the IX system is accumulated for transfer back to the DST system. The facility contains main process vaults which have multiple embedment depths with the deepest found 47 feet below grade with top of concrete elevation approximately equal to grade. The process vaults are enclosed within a 125 foot by 85 foot by 60 foot tall above grade structural steel weather enclosure building, which houses a 30 ton overhead crane and truck airlock. Located immediately adjacent to this are support structures housing electrical, HVAC, process equipment, 5 ton overhead crane, and spent resin dewatering, packaging and storage system. Balance of plant equipment is installed on slabs placed on grade. Balance of plant equipment is primarily designed to be fabricated and delivered as sub-assemblies. Plant utilities and piping systems are buried or located within trenches with covers. Double walled underground waste transfer piping lines (WTL) from LAWPS to the 200 East Area AP Tank Farm and to the Waste Vitrification Plant will also be installed (the tie in connections at the AP Farm and WTP will be completed by others). See Figures 5 and 6 for general facility and main process building general layouts.

A key element of the LAWPS Project will be the fabrication, testing, and installation of pre-fabricated valve, equipment, tanks, and HVAC modules/skids that will be placed inside of below grade vaults. Figures 7 through 11 provide model cut examples of several of these modules/skids. The NQA-1 fabrication of these modules/skids will require close tolerance fabrication, accurate positioning inside the vaults, and detailed as-built information to support installation/removal of remote connectors for maintenance and replacement.

2.0 TYPE OF CONTRACT DISCUSSION

Cost Range - The Construction Subcontract value is anticipated to be between $150 and $200 Million dollars.

Construction Contracting Strategy

The project anticipates an incentivized cost reimbursable subcontract to execute the facility construction. The initial Request for Proposal (RFP) will contain the 60% design media. The source selection board will evaluate the bids and recommend award based on the source selection evaluation criteria included in the RFP. DOE approval will be required prior to awarding the subcontract.

The cost reimbursable contract will include fee incentives that are designed to ensure safe on time delivery and promote cost efficiencies. The incentives are currently visualized as affording opportunity for the constructor to increase his total fee by earning bonuses for early/on time completion, and for underrunning cost. Conversely, a portion of the subcontractor’s fee will be subject to forfeiture for poor safety, quality, schedule, or cost performance.

The subcontractor will also be authorized to negotiate and enter into agreements for preparation and submittal of detail design and shop drawings for tanks, embedments, concrete reinforcement drawings, HVAC, etc. as part of the Phase 2 Work. The subcontractor will be authorized to initiate fabrications and other material procurements, mobilize to site, carry out site preparation activities and any other scope included in the CD3A package immediately after its approval by the DOE.

The subcontractor will be authorized to proceed with the balance of the facility construction immediately after approval of the CD2/3 package by the DOE. The Tank Farms Operations Contract (TOC) currently expires in October of 2018. In the event the WRPS is not successful during the re-competition of the TOC contract, this subcontract for the construction of the LAWPS will be novated to the new TOC operator selected by the DOE.

This contracting strategy has been adopted to:

• Achieve the current completion date imposed by the DOE to meet the commitments to initiate tank waste treatment.

• Provide sufficient schedule for the construction subcontractor to preplan the work concurrent with DOE approval of the design package and Critical Decision Steps.

• Providing time to engage the subcontractor to development an achievable target price and schedule based on finalized design drawings, including the identification and assignment of project risks.

• Provide opportunities to identify and implement earlier construction activities to shorten the project schedule and cost.





Questions:

1. Do you believe a target price cost reimbursable contract with incentives is the most appropriate contract vehicle for this scope of work?

Yes / No (Circle one and explain below)

Explanation:

2. The milestone commitments established by DOE adds to the importance of safely performing this scope within the stated durations. The contract form above was chosen in part to accommodate change in the most expeditious manner possible within the requirements imposed by federal regulations.

Do you concur, or would you propose an alternate contract format?
