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.

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

C.7 Savannah River Site Interface Management
Interface Management is a key Savannah River Site function for the effective and efficient delivery of
services between multiple Site contractors. It is also an integral part of resolving issues involving various
Site operations activities among contractors, promoting efficient mission accomplishment for EM and
NNSA and ensuring Site policies and procedures are integrated to promote mission success. Interface
management success is defined by the results that stem from two or more organizations working together
to develop solutions within the parameters of their contracts. The role of interface management is to
exchange services and solve issues in the best interest of the Government at the lowest level possible in the
respective organizations.
The Contractor shall:
(a) Establish and maintain an interface Management function in coordination with other Site
contractors and work cooperatively to improve mutual understanding and seek resolutions in the
