The program also monitors, performs analysis and reports on over 2,000 groundwater wells (approximately

4,300 sampling activities) and five (5) major streams, the Savannah River Floodplain Swamp and the

Savannah River to demonstrate effectiveness of remedial systems.

The Contractor shall plan and safely execute a program that meets all regulatory commitments reflected in

the SRS Federal Facility Agreement, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit and closure

plans, settlement agreements, administrative orders, consent decrees, notices of violation(s), Memoranda

of Agreements or other notices of direction from DOE and/or regulatory agencies. This includes, but is not

limited to, the identification, characterization, assessment, remediation and post-closure

maintenance/monitoring of soil, surface water, groundwater waste units and Deactivation and

Decommissioning (D&D) residuals. The Contractor shall develop and implement alternative long-range

strategies, appropriate technologies, and approaches in the refinement of Area Completion and long-term

stewardship activities to reduce out-year baseline costs.

C.3.1.2 Deactivation and Decommissioning (D&D)

The Contractor shall conduct D&D of facilities and their ancillary structures as directed by DOE. The

Contractor shall also dispose of structures and facilities related to these facilities, such as sheds, canopies,

air conditioning units and excess trailers. The Contractor should incorporate innovative approaches to D&D

facilities at the SRS that would offset lower funding levels.

The Contractor shall provide the overall management of the D&D program at SRS. D&D activities may

include relocation of existing functions and personnel, characterization, risk analysis, evaluation of

alternatives, stabilization, and final decommissioning. All D&D activities shall be conducted through an

C.3.1.2.1 Deactivation and Decommissioning Requirements

The Contractor shall provide all equipment, labor, parts, and supervision required to perform the assigned

D&D tasks and to ensure that the quality of items and services meets the requirements of this PWS,

applicable Work Order Documents, and all current laws, regulations and procedures.

a) Deactivation: Initial deactivation occurs by the owning operational organization prior to transfer

for decommissioning. Upon transfer for decommissioning, limited deactivation activities can

occur. Activities may include asbestos removal, deenergizing (cold and dark), equipment

disposition, and others to ready the facility for final decommissioning.

b) Decommissioning: This scope is typically the final stage (end state) for the facility when any

unacceptable residual hazards are eliminated. Possible end states include transfer or removal to

another program, demolition, in situ disposal, or a combination of the two. The Contractor shall

assist DOE-SR in the coordination of all decommissioning activities with the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control

(SCDHEC) through the Federal Facility Agreement.

c) The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) will be

the regulatory approach for decommissioning, as negotiated between the DOE-SR, EPA and

SCDHEC using the core team process. Additional information, requirements and milestones

Section C Page C-14

Savannah River Site Operations SECTION C

Draft Solicitation No. 89303320REM000076

associated with facility decommissioning are documented in the Federal Facility Agreement (FFA)

for the Savannah River Site.

d) The Contractor shall use a tailored approach as defined in DOE G 430.1-4, Decommissioning

Implementation Guide for safe dispositioning of an inactive facility. The guide documents five

phases of safe dispositioning of an inactive facility. Examples of each type of hazard classification

of a facility that could be decommissioned at the SRS are Other Industrial or Clean, Radiological

or Chemical and Nuclear. Depending on the hazard classification of a facility the decommissioning

model could be a Simple Model, Integrated Sampling Model or CERCLA as documented in the

Facility Decommissioning Evaluation (FDE).

(1) Simple- Least rigorous and most cost-effective of the 3 models. Includes clean facilities where

the only safety risks are risks to workers on the project. If the facility has releases within the

facility and or to the environment, the facility has been downgraded from a higher hazard

category or if releases within the facility or the environment has been downgraded from a

higher hazard category, the model elevates to an Integrated Sampling Model (ISM). There are

approximately 611 structures (equaling approximately 8,330,067 square feet) to be

decommissioned utilizing the simple model.

(2) ISM is the same as a Simple Model except requires verification characterization and includes

low hazard chemical facilities containing small amounts of contamination. The ISM also

includes facilities where a release has occurred within the facility or to the environment or

facilities that have been downgraded from a higher hazard category. There are approximately

157 structures (equaling approximately 814,227 square feet) to be decommissioned utilizing

the ISM model.

(3) CERCLA Model – Most complex, most time consuming, requires most documentation and

stakeholder involvement, and most costly of the 3 models. This model uses the CERCLA

Removal or Remedial Action process and includes Nuclear Facilities (Hazard Category 2 or

3), Radiological Facilities and High Hazard Chemical Facilities. There are approximately 63

structures (equaling approximately 1,579,902 square feet) to be decommissioned utilizing the

CERCLA model.

Integration with all site tenants is required for safe and compliant decommissioning of facilities. The

Contractor will perform engineering, modeling and regulatory negotiations and document submittals to

facilitate the decommissioning of a facility. The Contractor will perform the limited deactivation and

decommissioning scope in accordance with all applicable laws, procedures, and regulations.

C.3.1.4 Nuclear Materials Stabilization and Disposition

The Contractor shall safely and effectively manage nuclear materials and facilities in accordance with

applicable DOE Directives and requirements. Management of nuclear materials at SRS includes four

distinct but integral functions: receipt, storage, operations, and disposition. The Contractor shall operate

and maintain F-Area (excluding F Tank Farm), the H-Canyon Complex, K-Area Complex, F/H Laboratory,

and L-Area to support storage and disposition of nuclear materials and SNF, as required by DOE. The

Contractor shall perform necessary lay-up, deactivation and decommissioning work, and long-term

surveillance and maintenance on Nuclear Material facilities no longer operating, including the Receiving

Basin for Offsite Fuel (RBOF) in H-Area, F-Canyon Complex (including the FB-Line), F/H Laboratory,

and F-Area Material Storage (FAMS) Building 235-F. Facilities include large storage tanks used to hold

various chemical solutions, industrial support facilities, administrative buildings, sand filter facilities, and

supporting utilities including water, steam, electricity, industrial air, conditioned air, underground transfer

piping, and sanitary waste systems. The desired outcome is to maintain the general areas, including

future disposition alternatives. This includes bundles of Material Test Reactor (MTR) SNF and

High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) cores stored in L Area. The intent is for the materials to be

dissolved and dispositioned as directed by the Department. Future DOE decisions may require the

Contractor to adapt and modify SNF operations to implement changing Environmental

Management missions, including additional fuel types and revised disposition paths. The

Contractor will also develop plans for the disposition of the remaining SNF for geologic disposal;

g) Operate and maintain the L-Area basin water chemistry, fuel inspection and transport of fuel from

L-Area to H-Canyon and maintain the L-Area support facilities; and

h) Manage the storage of the site’s inventory of heavy water.

C.3.1.4.1 H Canyon Complex

The Contractor shall operate and maintain the H-Canyon facility in a safe and secure manner. The facility

is the nation’s only hardened large production scale, chemical separation facility remaining in the United

States of America and is integral to DOE’s efforts to minimize and eliminate nuclear materials through safe

dissolution and chemical separation, allowing removal and separation of specific isotopes for reuse or

proper disposition thereby reducing proliferation risks.

The H-Area facilities support the DOE Enriched Uranium and Plutonium Disposition programs by reducing

proliferation risks of nuclear materials that have been recovered from storage locations throughout the

world. The H-Canyon Complex includes “H-Canyon & outside Facilities, H-Area” and “HB-Line

Facility.”

These nuclear facilities include storage tanks containing various chemical and nuclear material solutions,

industrial support facilities, administrative buildings, sand filter ventilation facility, and supporting utilities

including water, steam, electricity, industrial air, conditioned air, underground transfer piping and sanitary

waste. In accordance with Public Law 50 U.S. Code 2633 “The Secretary of Energy shall continue

operations and maintain a high state of readiness at the H-Canyon facility at the Savannah River Site, Aiken,

South Carolina, and shall provide technical staff necessary to operate and maintain such a facility.” The

current approved mission in the Amended Record of Decision is disposition of a limited inventory of the

L-Basin inventory of aluminum based SNF necessary to create storage space to support the NNSA

Section C Page C-18

Savannah River Site Operations SECTION C

Draft Solicitation No. 89303320REM000076

nonproliferation remove program. A change to the Public Law will be necessary upon determination that

the H-Canyon capabilities are no longer required.

C.3.1.4.2 F Canyon Complex (FCC)

The Contractor shall safely operate and maintain the F-Area Complex. The facility is comprised of the

deactivated F Canyon building including the FB-Line, large storage tanks used to hold various chemical

solutions, industrial support facilities, administrative buildings, sand filter facilities, and supporting utilities

including water, steam, electricity, industrial air, conditioned air, underground transfer piping, and sanitary

waste. The FCC was constructed in the 1950s to process plutonium and other nuclear materials for national

defense purposes and had safely done so for over 50 years. Most of the facilities in the FCC are now

deactivated and are being maintained as long-term Surveillance and Maintenance (S&M) facilities. There

are no current or future missions planned for the FCC. The FCC and other support facilities are being

maintained in a transitional S&M condition. The FCC includes F-Canyon and FB-Line (Building 221-F)

and the outside facilities.

C.3.1.4.3 F-Area Material Storage (FAMS) Building 235-F

The Contractor shall safely operate and maintain the F Area Material Storage (FAMS) building (Building

235-F). Building 235-F is a robust blast resistant, windowless, two-story, reinforced concrete

structure. This production facility’s mission was the receipt, storage and disbursement of plutonium-

bearing materials in support of SRS and the DOE complex. In 2006, the storage vaults for nuclear materials

were emptied, and the facility has undergone cleanup and risk reduction activities by removing material at

risk.

A portion of the facility is in an S&M mode while other areas have been de-inventoried to reduce Special

Nuclear Materials (SNM). The 235-F Building includes Plutonium Fuel Form (PuFF) Facility cells and

gloveboxes, Actinide Billet line, Plutonium Experimental Facility and a metallography lab. The Contractor

may be required to complete the activities for lay-up of Building 235-F into a cold and dark state in

preparation for decommissioning.

C.3.1.4.4 L Area Complex – Spent Fuel Storage

The Contractor shall safely operate and maintain the L-Area Complex, including the former reactor

building, disassembly basin, and support facilities. The facility has been modified and now primarily serves

as a radioactive material storage facility. The disassembly basin is a chemically controlled spent nuclear

fuel (SNF) wet storage basin. It currently stores and receives SNF from research reactors and other

miscellaneous nuclear material to be handled in a safe manner. This includes receipt, inspection, cropping,

bundling, de-bundling, and re-bundling of fuel. The basin contains approximately 3.4 million gallons of

water and varies in depth from 17 feet to 30 feet. The basin walls are below ground and are constructed of

thick steel-reinforced concrete. The building has a dedicated cask decontamination facility and a Nuclear

Assurance Corporation (NAC) legal weight truck (LWT) cask dry-unloading capability using the shielded

transfer system (STS).

The LWT cask plays a major role in the shipment and receipt of Foreign Research Reactor (FRR) fuel due

to the various assembly types compatible with the cask and the number of assemblies that can be shipped

per cask. The STS is utilized to unload casks in a dry well protecting workers from radiation exposures in-

air due to limited height of the L-Basin cranes and inadequate water depth in the L-Basin transfer pit. Wet

storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in L-Basin might be necessary into the 2030s or beyond.

The dry fuel storage area (DFSA) is an enclosed, isolated area located in the southeast corner of the

disassembly area. The DFSA is 10 feet wide and 24 feet long, contains minimal combustible material and

Section C Page C-19

Savannah River Site Operations SECTION C

Draft Solicitation No. 89303320REM000076

has a normally closed locked door due to high radiation conditions. SNF is handled in the disassembly area

and stored wet in drums in the DFSA.

The reactor building serves as one of the three site’s heavy water storage areas. The heavy water is stored

in tanks on the -20-foot elevation and in 55-gallon drums located in the process room, crane maintenance

area, final storage area, -40-foot elevation crossover area, -40-foot elevation access wells, and the -40-foot

elevation motor rooms. Heavy water is also stored in K-reactor building (both drums and tanks) and in C-

reactor but only in tanks.

C.3.1.4.5 K Area Complex (KAC)

The Contractor shall safely operate and maintain the K Area Complex (KAC). The KAC includes the

previously operational K Reactor Facility. In 1996, DOE directed that the K Reactor Facility be placed into

a shutdown condition with no capability for restart. The reactor building has been modified and now serves

as a radioactive material storage, surveillance, and processing facility for disposition of surplus

plutonium. Although no fuel, targets or rods remain in the reactor tank, it remains for the storage of reactor

components and radiological material. DOE plans to continue receiving nuclear material for storage in

KAC and other designated areas until alternative interim storage facilities are available, or the final

disposition of the material can be accomplished through canyon processing, burial in a geologic repository,

or other as-yet-to-be designated disposition. K-area is becoming more of a production type facility with

the importance of down blending the Plutonium oxide with an adulterant, which is packaged for eventual

shipment to WIPP. The K-area facility will include a special building where all the WIPP characterization

and acceptance work will be conducted and shipment loading in TRUPAC IIs will take place.

Additionally, K-Area is a facility that supports both EM and NNSA activities. NNSA scope includes in

addition to down blending a line item project for additional gloveboxes to support/accelerate the down

blending operations.

C.3.1.4.6 Receiving Basin for Off-site Fuel (RBOF)

The Contractor shall safely operate and maintain the Receiving Basin for Off-Site Fuel (RBOF). The

mission of the RBOF was to store aluminum-based spent nuclear fuel from research reactors worldwide in

support of the Department of Energy's “take back” policy regarding United States origin enriched uranium.

Built in the early 1960s, RBOF is a 139-foot wide by 148-foot long steel frame structure that houses water-

filled basins for cask unloading and spent nuclear fuel repackaging and storage. The building includes the

basin areas, a control room, and an attached facility for water filtration and deionization. The basin area

consists of two storage basins, three working basins (for cropping, bundling, inspection, and interim

storage), a cask loading/unloading basin, and a cask decontamination pit. The basins vary in area and depth

with an unloading basin depth from 29 to 45 feet.

A project was initiated in 1997 to de-inventory the RBOF due to size limitations that would not support

increased off-site receipts and transfer the spent nuclear fuel to L-Basin. This effort was completed in 2006

with RBOF transitioned into long term, low cost S&M condition until turn over to D&D. In 2020, an effort

was undertaken to identify the remaining activities necessary to be completed before D&D can accept

RBOF.

C.3.1.4.7 F/H Laboratory

The Contractor shall safely operate and maintain the F/H Laboratory facilities. The primary mission of the

F/H Laboratory over the last 50 years has been to support the chemical separations processing activities in

F- Area and H-Area. Samples received from the canyons and B-Lines were subjected to the required

radiological and chemical tests. Results from these tests were used to effectively operate the canyons. The

Section C Page C-20

Savannah River Site Operations SECTION C

Draft Solicitation No. 89303320REM000076

F/H Laboratory also supported tank farm operations, reactor area programs, the effluent treatment facilities,

and the site waste characterization/remediation effort.

The F/H Lab includes Buildings 772-F, 772-1F, and 772-4F and the B-25 Pad. The LR-56S loading station

supports the 772-F facility. Building 772-F is of blast-resistant concrete construction and was placed in

service in the mid-1950s. Building 772-1F is of standard commercial steel and concrete block construction

and began operations in October 1987. Building 772-4F is of steel construction in accordance with DOE

requirements and was placed in service in July 1993.F/H Lab is currently conducting routine analytical

analysis while at the same time moving some analytical methods to other laboratory locations (rad

beryllium, tank farm corrosion control, and diesel fuel).

F/H Lab is currently conducting routine analytical analysis, while at the same time moving these analytical

methods to other laboratory locations (rad beryllium, tank farm corrosion control, and diesel fuel) and

consolidating efforts to the Savannah River National Laboratory. Once this is completed, the F/H

Laboratory will be de-inventoried and deactivated prior to entering long term, low cost S&M condition

until turn over to D&D.

C.6.1. EM Capital Construction Projects

C.6.1.1 Emergency Operations Center Replacement

The scope of this project is to design and construct modern, code-compliant emergency management

facilities necessary to respond to emergency event scenarios. The primary and alternate Savannah River

Site Operations Center (SRSOC) facilities (911 Center) require approximately 10,000 square feet each, and

the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) requires approximately 15,000 square feet of space to

accommodate approximately 300 people during peak emergency operations.

The current facility that houses the primary SRSOC and EOC is approximately 250,000 square feet. Once

the Savannah River Site Operations Center and Emergency Operations Center are relocated to the newly

constructed facilities, the existing facility will be available for deactivation and decommissioning, which

is not included in the scope of this line item. The existing alternate SRSOC will be relocated to the newly

constructed facility and the current facility will be turned over to the Contractor for office use.

As part of CD-1 approval, an alternative was selected on which to complete a final design by the Project

Management Executive (PME) based on the Independent Analysis of Alternatives and the conceptual

design conducted by the incumbent contractor. CD-1 was approved in June 2020 with a cost range of $83M

-$93M. The approved conceptual design package will be used as the basis for a DOE Direct contract

request for proposal, which will lead to a bid process and ultimate award of a design/bid/build contract.

The Contractor will support DOE in the role of owner's representative throughout the project, conducting

design reviews, and providing safety, security, and quality assurance support. CD-2/3 approval is

anticipated in FY2022 and CD-4 is anticipated in FY 2026 – 2028.

This project is tailored, as allowed by DOE O 413.3, Program and Project Management for the

Acquisition of Capital Assets, to be managed as four distinct subprojects within the overall cost range

established at Critical Decision (CD)-1. Each of four subprojects will have their own baseline, total

project cost, and independent CD-2, 3, and 4 approvals. The final CD-4 approval will constitute project

completion.

CD-1was approved on August 10, 2017 with a cost range of $49M to $91M and a corresponding CD-4

range of FY 2022 to FY 2028.

The incumbent site M&O contractor was determined to be the best contract alternative. The incumbent

site M&O has security cleared personnel already trained and qualified to perform work in the various areas

and facilities associated with the project, the ability to use resources interchangeably between areas, and

has more flexibility during funding shortfalls that limits risk to the project. The Contractor will be required

to enter into a Functional Service Agreement (FSA) with the SRNL contractor for the completion of the

work activities as appropriate as outlined in Section J, Attachment 15 SRS Interface Management Plan.

The first subproject, H Area, achieved CD-4 on May 12, 2020 at a Total Project Cost of $18M. The second

subproject, K-Area, anticipates achieving CD-2/3 in FY2022 and CD-4 in FY2025. The third subproject,

L Area, anticipates achieving CD-2/3 in FY 2022 and CD-4 in FY2028. The final subproject, Savannah

River National Laboratory, and general site areas, anticipates achieving CD-2/3 in FY 2027 and CD-4 in

FY2028/2029, depending on funding availability.
