Battelle Energy Alliance, which runs the DOE's Idaho National Laboratory, is asking qualified vendors for an Expression of Interest to upgrade the lighting controls in building TAN-675. This is a first step; selected vendors may later be invited to a Request for Proposal. The work is construction-type, so Davis-Bacon wage rules apply.
Watch out for
- Site Stabilization Agreement may apply. A union labor agreement can limit who can perform the work, and the notice does not say whether TAN-675 is covered.
Construction work performed at Idaho Falls facilities is not subject to these agreements.
- Only a first-step expression of interest. Responding does not guarantee an invitation to the later RFP, and only selected respondents will be invited.
This EOI is the first step in identifying interested and qualified vendors.
