Within the DOE Office of Environmental Management, the Office of Packaging and Transportation implements the complex-wide TEPP to address preparedness issues for shipments of DOE radiological material and waste. TEPP provides support to federal, state, tribal, and local authorities to prepare for a response to a transportation incident/accident involving shipments of DOE radiological material. TEPP, by integrating transportation and emergency preparedness activities, takes a coordinated approach to addressing the emergency response concerns of state, tribal, and local officials affected by DOE shipments. TEPP also ensures responders have access to model plans and procedures, training, and technical assistance necessary to prepare and respond safely, efficiently, and effectively to transportation incidents/accidents. The Contractor reviews state and federal regulations and standards for DOE consideration that may impact the TEPP program. Under the supervision of DOE, the Contractor assists in conducting at least two exercises per year to validate responder capability to mitigate a radiological transportation incident. The Contractor is responsible for providing support services such astraining videos and other potential options for DOE consideration and distribution as appropriate. Under the supervision of DOE, the Contractor will deliver training to emergency responder audiences at up to 75 DOE Modular Emergency Response Radiological Transportation Training Program classes annually at various locations across the nation. The Contractor shall ensure the training curriculum covers the most current regulations and standards, as determined by DOE. The total estimated value of this acquisition is $4,500,000 over three years.
