C.1 SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The scope of this contract is to perform the Analytical Services production functions of receiving, handling, analyzing, storing samples, performing special tests and reporting the results of these analyses and tests to the contractors of Department of Energy Offices at the Hanford Nuclear Site near Richland , Washington . These functions will be performed through a contract with the DOE Office of River Protection. The analytical services to be acquired will be performed at the 222-S Laboratory complex located in the 200 West Area of Hanford . These services support cleanup and closure of the Hanford site and are a critical activity in achieving closure goals of all Hanford projects. This scope may also include other DOE work supporting scientific research and other DOE sites.

The successful contractor shall provide these analytical chemistry production services for the Hanford Site projects, operations, and environmental cleanup activities in support of the Hanford Site environmental cleanup and restoration activities.

The contractor is required to annually perform approximately 25,000 inorganic, organic and radionuclide analyses. The analyses will be performed on approximately 3000 intermediate to high level radioactive and/or hazardous samples received from multiple locations and entities on the Hanford site. Samples received may be 300 Rad/hr, with a significant part of that from gamma radiation.

C.2 Work Scope

The work performed by the Analytical Services Production Contractor (ASPC) will be to plan analytical work using priorities from customers, receive samples which are usually highly radioactive, prepare them for analysis, record and track all sample and related waste materials, perform the analyses using necessary quality control and quality assurance, report the results and archive material as required by the customer. Customers at times will require special tests and the ASPC is responsible for providing assistance in developing those test methods and then performing them in the lab. Customers consist of DOE prime contractors who perform program activities primarily at the Hanford site and may include some work from other DOE sites and DOE research.

This work shall be performed while using facilities and infrastructure which are maintained by the Tank Farm Contractor (TFC) and using work processes and work behavior which meets overall Hanford site programs. The ASPC is required to interface with the TFC, customers and managers of these programs in a manner so that the overall Hanford programs and objectives are consistent among all prime contractors. This will require close coordination with customers and the TFC facility and infrastructure provider. Typical interfaces with the TFC will be driven by services provided as identified in Section C.3. Laboratory facilities or services off the Hanford site may be used for this scope if it is demonstrated that all requirements can be met, e.g., contract, packaging, shipping, schedule, etc.

Reference information is provided in an attachment to this section, showing the required capabilities. Future annual workload is expected to be consistent. Past workloads have varied significantly month to month.

Planning shall require use of the priorities and analytical data needs of customers and managing the lab workload in accordance with those needs. Planning also requires readiness to perform new analyses, testing or infrequent analyses when these are defined by the customers.

Analysis of samples shall be performed by the ASPC trained and qualified workforce in accordance with approved procedures, using appropriate test and handling equipment. The currently installed Laboratory Information and Management System (LIMS) shall be used for sample tracking, records and data gathering and reporting. The ASPC will provide Standards Laboratory services for the Hanford Site. This will include preparation and maintenance of required standards and reagents.

Results shall be reported to meet customer's specified needs. The most common formats for Required Data Reporting are as follows:

The ASPC shall perform all work in accordance with existing laws, applicable permits and good practice consistent with safety and quality in the laboratory

The ASPC shall provide annual projections for labor and equipment needs.

A nuclear materials safeguard and security program shall be developed by the ASPC, approved by DOE and implemented.

The ASPC shall develop an Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) as required in Section H. The ISMS will be limited to the scope of this contract and describe interfaces and interactions with safety programs of other contractors. The ISMS shall be developed by the ASPC and implemented in coordination with the TFC's ISMS to provide overall Integrated Safety Management for the 222-S complex.

C.3 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED FACILITIES AND SERVICES

The ASPC will be provided with facilities, established programs and services to accomplish this scope of work. The ASPC shall integrate these services with the analytical services scope. Facilities and analytical equipment will be provided and maintained as described below. A nuclear safety program implementing a Documented Safety Assessment (DSA), shown in Section J, will also be provided as well as safety management programs identified in the DSA. The ASPC will be required to support implementation of these requirements.

The ASPC is encouraged to review the Government Furnished Equipment and Services during the contract period and make recommendations for improvements or changes in scope that will benefit the overall mission of DOE at the Hanford site.

C.3.1 Facilities

The 222-S complex consists of the 222 S Building, a 70,000 square foot laboratory facility, which includes 11 hot cells for handling and analyzing highly radioactive samples, and the auxiliary buildings that support the analytical chemistry mission.

The analytical services to be acquired will be primarily performed at the 222-S Building with some space in nearby offices available for other personnel. Potential for performing a portion of the analyses off-site exists dependent upon the shipping and handling capabilities of the analytical services performance contractor.

C.3.2 Instrumentation provided

Types of available laboratory equipment that will be provided to the analytical services performance contractor are listed below. About 25% of instrument capacity is currently used in all but the Organic area for GC/MS work where the potential utilization is at approximately 75% capacity. Instrumentation availability is subject to routine downtime for maintenance, repairs and upgrades. In addition to the analytical equipment below the laboratory also has 26 manipulators for sample handling that were purchased during 1993-1994, all of which are operational and in good condition.

Sample Preparation Equipment

Inorganic Instrumentation

Radiochemistry Instrumentation

C.3.3 Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS)

ORP will provide use of the comprehensive LIMS to the ASPC. These systems have the capability to upload a large proportion of the analytical data from the instruments to the analytical reporting system after approval by the responsible chemists.

C.3.4 Other Government Furnished Services

Government furnished services will be provided or coordinated through the TFC. The ASPC shall integrate analytical services work scope to support these programs.
