REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership (FRNP) Decision 2029 – General RI/FS Support

Sep 11, 2026

Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership (FRNP) for Decision 2029 (D29) regulatory decisions at the DOE Paducah Site. The RFI seeks technical resources to support comprehensive RI/FS evaluations that lead to Proposed Plans and a Record of Decision by FY 2029 across Waste Disposition Alternatives, Decommissioning and Demolition, and Environmental Media. Responses are for information and planning only, not an RFP, with no FRNP payment for costs incurred. Multiple awards may be made, and certain specialty areas may be covered under separate SOWs.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership– Paducah Deactivation Project (FRNP) Decision 2029 – General RI/FS Support 1.0 Description 1.1 This Statement of Work is being developed to secure technical resources to support the Decision 29 (D29) regulatory decisions being pursued at the DOE Paducah Site. 1.2 THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the FRNP to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, FRNP is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals . Respondents are advised that FRNP will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be sent to the qualifying Contractor. 2.0 Background The D29 process will pursue comprehensive regulatory documents and decisions for Waste Disposition Alternatives (WDA), Decommissioning and Demolition (D&D) and Environmental Media (EM) . All three decision paths will involve the development of independent Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Studies (RI/FS) evaluations for each decision under theNCP (40 CFR 300), leading to Proposed Plans and a Record of Decision (ROD) no later than the end of fiscal year 2029. The services secured under a statement of work (SOW) of this nature will support each of the three decision paths (i.e. , WDA, D&D and EM) in parallel. There will be an integrated team developing the RI/FS that will include FRNP team members and other subcontract resources including from existing staff augment subcontractors. In some specific areas, there will be “specialty” subcontractors (e.g. , waste disposition engineering design, natural resources identification and mitigation, groundwater modeling, seismic/geotechnical, ARAR management) that are under separate SOWs. This SOW is being issue for general support to supplement the team developing the D29 decision documents up to the issuance of the final RODs . The work being requested is to provide individuals to become part of a larger RI/FS team. This effort does not include support for groundwater modeling, for engineering support, nor for support for identifying natural and cultural resources and associated mitigation techniques . More than one award may be made to obtain the needed resources so it is not necessary for any single bidder to fulfill all capabilities listed below . 2.1 Planned Execution: The work being requested is to provide individuals to become part of a larger RI/FSteam. This effort does not include support for groundwater modeling, for design engineering support, nor for support for identifying natural and cultural resources and associated mitigation techniques . The identified resources can work remote but are expected to be able to travel to Paducah for relevant meetings, site tours, etc . They will be expected to participate in routine as well as specialized meetings and provide progress updates . The individuals will work under the direction of a FRNP or existing subcontract staff augment manager. More than one award may be made to obtain the needed resources so it is not necessary for any single bidder to fulfill all capabilities listed below . The successful bidder for this SOW will have personnel with any or all ofthe following capabilities: 1. Experience in writing CERCLA regulatory decision documents at Department of Energy (DOE) facilities (Sampling and Analysis Plans, RI/FS Reports, Proposed Plans, and RODs for D&D, environmental remediation, and waste disposal decisions) . 2. Experience in manipulating and statistically evaluating data.
