Demolition of Humboldt Bay Power Plant Fossil
Fuel Units
Estimated Contract Value (Range):
TBD
Work Location:
Eureka, CA
Deadline:
March 15, 2010 (5:00 p.m. Pacific)
Contract Opportunity Description:
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Humboldt Bay Power Plant (HBPP) is located at 1000 King Salmon Ave., Eureka,
California. HBPP consists of two fossil fuel steam generating units (Units 1 and 2) and a
retired nuclear-fueled steam generating plant (Unit 3) which are schedule to be removed
when the new natural gas power plant (HBGS) is commercial operational in the fall of 2010.
HBPP Unit 3 is a 65 MWe boiling water reactor that operated from 1963 to 1976. Unit 3 was
placed in SAFSTOR in 1987. The three units share a common cooling water intake structure
and each unit discharges its cooling water into the discharge canal. There also exists two
large storage tanks used for storage of heavy fuel oil, mobile emergency power plants other
structures to be removed as well.
Historical operations at the plant have resulted in chemical and radiological contamination.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has current jurisdiction over radiological and
mixed waste impacts and waste disposal. Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC),
under a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement, is the lead state agency for investigation and
remedial activities.
SCOPE
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is for PG&E to identify and qualify bidders for
decommissioning, demolishing, and removing all structures associated with the existing fossil units
at HBPP and restores the site for future reuse. This proposed Project does not include
decommissioning of the nuclear unit, Unit 3, and its related systems.
PG&E plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) that is separate from this procurement and
subsequent to this RFI, to find qualified engineering bidders that will characterize, engineer, plan,
phase and make removal, packaging, and transportation recommendations for decommissioning
Units 1&2.
It is important to note that all disposal contracts for any radio logically contaminated materials, if
any, will be between PG&E and the disposal site. Recyclable materials will be the responsibility of
the Contractor, and it is expected that a credit and reporting of such will be provided to PG&E.
Suppliers interested in pre-qualifying for this work must respond to the Request for Information
(RFI) by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Pacific), Monday, March 15, 2010. Failure to respond by this
date may result in your company being eliminated from further consideration. The RFI
document can be accessed at www.poweradvocate.com. Please follow the instructions below in
order to register with Power Advocate so you can access the RFI document. If you are unable to
