AI Contract Overview
Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC, acting as the management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is soliciting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from qualified vendors to provide comprehensive design and installation services for new entrance canopies at Buildings 682 and 688. This initiative aims to address recurring failures of card readers caused by extreme wind and weather by enhancing the security, safety, weather protection, and architectural integration of the building entrances. The anticipated scope includes designing, fabricating, and installing canopy structures that comply with all relevant building, safety, and environmental regulations. Work must be performed within the INL site boundaries where construction activities exceeding $2,000 are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements and the INL Site Stabilization Agreement (SSA). Documentation and verification of installation quality are also required, underscoring the project's emphasis on durability and compliance. The EOI process serves as a preliminary step to identify capable vendors ahead of a formal Request for Proposal (RFP). Interested firms are asked to submit company details, descriptions of relevant design and installation capabilities, applicable NAICS codes (notably 314910 for millwork-related services), business size classification, and any prior DOE or federal contract experience. The submissions must be emailed to the designated point of contact, Chase Egbert, by mid-August 2026. Proprietary information must be clearly marked due to sensitivity considerations. While no formal contract clauses, pricing, or evaluation criteria are outlined at this stage, selected respondents may be invited to a future RFP where detailed contract terms, performance periods, and award methodologies will be established. The installation work will occur on-site at INL in Idaho Falls, and final inspection and acceptance authority reside with the DOE and Battelle Energy Alliance. This pre-solicitation effort reflects BEA’s commitment to enhancing INL’s facilities and supports operational reliability amidst challenging environmental conditions.

Construction work at the laboratory Site covered under the Davis-Bacon Act is additionally subject to the INL Site Stabilization Agreement (SSA). These Site areas include all areas within the 890-square mile boundary, including the Material and Fuels Complex, Central Facilities Area, Advanced Test Reactor, Radioactive Waste Management Complex, and Specific Manufacturing Capability. The agreement is between signatory contractors and labor unions performing such work. Information regarding the INL Site Stabilization Agreement is available from the Site Labor Coordinator at +1 (555) 000-0000 or at contact@example.gov. Construction work performed at Idaho Falls facilities is not subject to these agreements.
