In addition, this inquiry also provides an opportunity for SRR to ask pertinent questions of potential subcontractors. The current Procurement Specification will request subcontractor(s) to provide Failed Equipment Storage Vaults (FESV) #3 and #4 design and construction. This potential Design/Build subcontract will be performed with labor whose wages are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE The specified facility that is Subcontractor’s responsibility consists of two underground reinforced concrete Vaults approximately 28’ long x 18’ wide x 21’ with a common interior wall. The new vaults will be constructed adjacent to existing Vaults 1 and 2 which stores failed equipment containing radioactive waste. In order to protect existing Vaults 1 and 2 and other existing components sheet piling may be required. Additional scope will be to lengthen the gantry crane rail tracks and replace cabling, providing level instrumentation in new sumps wired to existing DCS (Delta V Distributed Control System) as well as connecting the vaults to the existing drain water tank. These Vaults are within the site boundaries of DWPF which is a radiologically controlled area.
