BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) owns and operates a heavy water-moderated nuclear test reactor and associated neutron beam research facility. The NCNR-s reactor is licensed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under the name National Bureau of Standards Reactor (NBSR).
The Reactor's secondary cooling water is cooled by a set of cooling towers. The cooling towers are located behind the NCNR (Building 235). The main cooling tower was built in 2002 by Balcke-Dürr. It's constructed on a concrete basin with pressure treated and marine grade wood and fiberglass siding. Exterior wood surfaces consist of a stairway, railings, and plywood decking. It has 3 cooling cells (#1, #2 and #3). The secondary cooling tower is a modular design. It was erected in 2011, is supported on steel pilons and is made of stainless steel. It is a BAC model 3781C tower. It has 2 cooling cells (#4 and #5). There are several subsystems that work in tandem with the main cooling tower structures. These systems include a deicing system, a fire protection system, and a plume abatement system.
While the overall condition of the cooling towers is good, they need routine maintenance, repairs, and cleaning. The NCNR operates 24/7 and could potentially require emergency repair assessment, services, and/or support at the facility in addition to regular maintenance and repair services.
NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing commercial services that will achieve the objectives described above, in addition to the following essential tasks:
Semi-Annual Maintenance
Cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of deicing system Inspection of all c...
