NYSERDA is seeking proposals for facilitation services to work with a community advisory group (the West Valley Citizen Task Force) near the Western New York Nuclear Service Center in West Valley, NY. The Task Force has been meeting for ten years, providing advice to NYSERDA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regarding cleanup and long-term management of facilities located at the Center. The Center is home to the West Valley Demonstration Project, a large nuclear waste cleanup project being conducted by DOE, and a shut-down radioactive waste disposal facility managed solely by NYSERDA.

The initial term of the contract is two years, with the option to renew annually for up to three additional years at NYSERDA’s discretion. The contract is expected to start no later than April 1, 2007. Total not to exceed program budget allocation is $160,000 for the initial term. Click here for more details and instructions.
