# Introduction

This subcontracting plan documents Bechtel Jacobs approach to involving
small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, historically underutilized
business zones, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small
business concerns (SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB) in the execution of
the Accelerated Closure Project, hereinafter referred to as (ACP).

Bechtel Jacobs supports the Department of Energy\'s (DOE\'s) strong,
long-term commitment to diversity. Bechtel Jacobs believes that
diversity is much more than affirmative action in the workplace. It is a
belief that, when transformed into action, provides an organization with
comparative advantages over other organizations, both in the workplace
and in the business community. For the Bechtel Jacobs\' organizations,
it is an operating principle of management, with which Bechtel Jacobs
has demonstrated success. Diversity in subcontracting provides a vital
link to the local community, strengthens the economy, creates new
opportunities, is cost effective, and represents best business practice.

Bechtel Jacobs has a well-established record of involving small business
concerns in meaningful roles both in government and commercial
contracting. Building on this experience and success has resulted in the
institutionalizing of diversity and SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB
participation and development in project execution, while setting
challenging and aggressive goals. Bechtel Jacobs will extend this
approach to the ACP.

# Statement of Policy and Commitment

In the execution of ACP, Bechtel Jacobs will comply with Public Law
95-507, FAR 52.219-8, 52.219-9, 52.219-16, and 52-219-29, all prime
contract requirements, and current DOE policies and practices.

It is Bechtel Jacobs\' policy to aggressively encourage the
participation of SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB concerns, including the
use of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Minority
Institutions to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with
efficient performance of the ACP. All procurements are subject to review
for providing opportunities to include potential
SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB suppliers and contractors, to develop good
working relationships with them, and to encourage them to offer their
products and services to the ACP.

(1) **Small, Small Disadvantaged, Women-owned, Historically
    Underutilized Business Zones, Veteran-Owned and Service-Disabled
    Veteran Owned Small Business Concerns Participation**

This plan is proposed to be effective for the period beginning October
1, 2003 -- September 30, 2008. The SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB goals
will be negotiated on an annual fiscal year basis. Revised goals will be
based on fiscal year funding and scope. The plan will be updated
annually based on the mutual agreement of the parties to the contract.
In addition, other provisions or requirements of this plan may be
negotiated and updated on an annual basis.

The following provides our small, small disadvantaged, women-owned,
historically underutilized business zones, veteran-owned, and
service-disabled veteran owned small business subcontracting plan as a
percent of the total planned and available subcontracting effort. These
goals will be negotiated on an annual basis.

**(2)** **Potential Subcontract Opportunities for Small, Small
Disadvantaged, and Women-Owned, HUBZone, Veteran-Owned/Service-Disabled
Veteran Owned Small Businesses**

The principal types of subcontracting opportunities that will be made
available for SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB concerns consist of the
categories listed in Table A. The categories shown are for general work
categories only. As additional outsource opportunities are identified,
the subcontracted efforts list will be expanded and the goal percentages
will be revised accordingly. Opportunities, which are directed or for
which there is only a single supplier are not considered available and
are therefore not included in these goals.

**(3) Method Used to Develop Subcontracting Goals**

We established subcontracting goals based on the best available
information for forecasting acquisitions and our commitment to execute
the proposed Bechtel Jacobs\' subcontracting strategy. The information
was analyzed based on available ACP information, projected estimates,
and potential requirements based on our experience in the environmental
restoration industry. These goals are considered to be realistic and
attainable.

responsibilities under this plan, she will ensure that the following
activities are managed in a timely and effective manner:

-   Ensure source lists of potential SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB
    subcontractors for which the goals established herein are
    maintained.

-   Seek out other SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB when the number of
    prospective sources is not adequate, through the use of mass media
    communication tools such as Internet bulletin board.

-   Mentor existing small business concerns currently under subcontract,
    enhancing their ability to provide timely, cost-effective, and
    quality services.

-   Advise and train project management personnel on the purposes of
    this plan and foster adequate support.

-   Keep records describing performance against the goals established
    herein.

-   Submit Standard Form (SF) 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual
    Contracts, and SF 295, Summary Subcontract Report, in accordance
    with the prime contract and instructions provided by the Contracting
    Officer.

-   Verify that subcontracts issued contain the flow-down clauses
    pertaining to SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB concerns when required
    and maintain policies and procedures as required by the prime
    contract.

-   Maintain liaison and a good working relationship with Small Business
    Administration representatives to obtain assistance and coordination
    in finding capable SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB.

-   Maintain a close working relationship with DOE-OR to ensure Bechtel
    Jacobs\' project objectives and activities are consistent with
    DOE-OR\'s program.

    pursuant to PL 95-507, and monitor for compliance with those plans.

-   Make monthly reports to S. D. Liedle, Bechtel Jacobs Company
    President, and P. F. Clay, Bechtel Jacobs Company Vice President,
    concerning progress made toward achievement of goals under this
    program.

**(7) Implementation**

The following additional functions will be performed to effectively
implement this plan:

-   Post on the internet 90-day \"look ahead\" schedules detailing
    SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB opportunities that are coming up.

-   Package solicitations (including time for preparation, scope of
    work, quantities, specifications, and delivery schedules) to
    facilitate participation by SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSBs in
    subcontracting opportunities and solicitation, bid, and proposal
    activities.

-   Establish and maintain contacts with SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB
    trade associations and business development organizations.

-   Conduct internal workshops, seminars, and training programs to
    ensure that internal customers and buyers are acquainted with
    Bechtel Jacobs's policy and prime contract requirements, and to
    ensure that externally, SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSBs are familiar
    with requirements for doing business at the ACP sites.

-   Maintain an effective outreach program by sponsoring and attending
    regional procurement conferences, trade fairs, and other functions
    where participation is expected to locate additional qualified
    sources.

-   Implement an ongoing \'in-reach program that includes forums
    designed to give SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSBs access and exposure
    to key people responsible for project planning and project
    management, and to provide them with information and visibility to
    the ACP acquisition plan.

-   Develop a comprehensive SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB project source
    list easily accessible to and utilized by individual buyers, which
    also includes past performance.

-   Preselect and qualify SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB to perform
    specific scopes of work.

-   Structure the program to help develop the capabilities and quality
    of services provided by SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB suppliers and
    subcontractors currently performing work on the site.

We will maximize participation of SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSBs through
set-asides for acquisitions of \$100,000 or less when such participation
is cost effective and results in on time, quality goods and services.
Purchases of \$10,000 or less may be awarded to SDB and WOSB concerns
without securing competitive quotations. Assurances will be made that
these awards are at fair market prices.

Bechtel Jacobs will utilize the authority of DOE Acquisition Letter
2000-02 dated April 20, 2000, to make noncompetitive awards of \$5
million or less for manufacturing and \$3 million or less for all other
acquisitions to firms certified as 8(a) by the Small Business
Administration.

As an approved participant in the DOE Mentor-Protégé program, we will
seek opportunities for firms to execute appropriate portions of the
Scope of Work.

Bechtel Jacobs will implement a local procurement preference program to
benefit the local areas surrounding the ACP sites. This preference
program will be designed to enhance the opportunities for
SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB that generate economic activity in their
areas.

**(8) Subcontract Terms and Conditions**

Bechtel Jacobs incorporates the flowdown clause requirements of FAR
52.219-8 (Oct 2000) applicable to solicitations and subcontracts
exceeding \$10,000 and \$500,000 respectively and will ensure that those
subcontractors with awards of \$500,000 will adopt a similar plan. Mr.
Robert E. Lynch will be responsible for the implementation and
monitoring of this phase of the Subcontracting Plan.

**(9) Reports, Studies, and Surveys**

Bechtel Jacobs will (i) cooperate in any studies or surveys as may be
required, (ii) submit periodic reports in order to allow the Government

**(11) SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB lnitiatives and Innovations**

Bechtel Jacobs will institute innovative programs to attract and assist
SB/SDB/WOSB/HUBZone/VO/SDVOSB concerns and increase opportunities for
such firms to participate in the ACP work. Such efforts are intended to
broaden the available competitive base of suppliers and contractors and
to assist small businesses in further developing their business,
technical expertise, and ability to provide quality service to both the
government and commercial sectors.

## *Business Assistance Program*  {#business-assistance-program .unnumbered}

Bechtel Jacobs will make available selected members of the Controller,
Finance, Procurement, Cost, and Scheduling departments and other groups
to provide counseling to small business representatives, both at Bechtel
Jacobs own discretion and as requested by DOE-OR. Available counseling
will include such areas as:

-   Business and management techniques,

-   Cost control and monitoring systems,

-   Scheduling techniques,

-   Finance and accounting,

-   Resource identification,

-   EM-M&I Employee Benefit Programs,

-   Negotiation techniques,

-   Labor relations counseling,

-   Contracting under the FAR,

-   Assistance in obtaining insurance and bonding for government and
    hazardous waste site projects,

-   Business development practices, and

-   Marketing and proposal services.

We will establish an aggressive program to provide business assistance
to these firms, with the goal to enable them to develop in-house
resources and capabilities to compete for larger and more complex work
scopes at the ACP sites and in the commercial sector.

### *Technical Assistance Program*  {#technical-assistance-program .unnumbered}

We will provide technical personnel and resources to small business
contractors for guidance and training. Bechtel Jacobs\' expertise in
implementing efficient, cost-effective, safe, and environmentally sound
techniques and methodologies will enable small businesses that
participate in the technical assistance program to provide high-quality
service at a lower cost and within scheduled requirements. Technical
assistance will be provided in, but not limited to, the following areas:

-   OSHA safety training for work on hazardous waste sites, in
    accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 or 1926.65;

-   Industrial safety and health;

-   Technical training for specialized equipment, operations, and
    techniques;

-   Radiation area work requirements;

-   Prequalifying subcontractor-owned equipment for use on the ACP
    sites;

-   Overviews of federal, state, and local regulations and DOE Orders
    that regulate a contractor\'s performance while working on the ACP
    sites; and

-   Innovative construction techniques and practices.

The concept of technical assistance and technological transfer is not
new to Bechtel Jacobs. We have developed formalized programs such as
these for numerous domestic and overseas projects, both in the
government and commercial sector. The ultimate goal of such initiatives
is to help small emerging businesses achieve self-sufficiency, and to
enhance their technical execution capabilities.

**(12) Performance Against Plan**

Bechtel Jacobs understands DOE\'s emphasis on small business
participation by inclusion of FAR Clause 52.219-16, which provides
incentive for superior performance. The strategy for implementation of
this plan has the full support and commitment of Bechtel and Jacobs
senior management.
