have any questions, please use the 3x5 cards to jot down questions. Jay and I have extra cards available upon request. The cards will be collected at the end of the tour by Jay and me. Your questions may be answered during tomorrow’s conference, placed on the HMESC Acquisition website, or considered as feedback for industry input. Please provide your name/contact information on the first card and name on all subsequent cards you turn in so we can contact you if we have any questions regarding your requested information. Additionally, there will be designated question and answer sessions during tomorrow’s conference. The tour is broken into two groups, Group A (green) and Group B (pink). You should have received a green or pink sticker on your badge that identifies the group you are in and the color-marked corresponding bus you will need to board this morning. Please refer to you tour packet for your respective agenda. For today, Group A (green) will tour property south of the Wye Barricade and Group B (pink) will tour property north of the Wye Barricade. On day 2, the tour will be the reversed; Group A will tour property north of the Wye Barricade and Group B will tour property south of the Wye Barricade. The list of facilities we will be touring today and tomorrow is provided in your tour packet. We will be driving by and referring you to either side of the bus to point out facilities of interest. We will also be walking through a few of the facilities. This is an industrial site and we asked that you stay together as a group and follow all verbal safety instructions given on the tour. Safety is a priority for everyone on the Hanford Site. The tour agenda and packet will placed on the HMESC Acquisition website the week following the pre-solicitation conference. I would like to introduce Karen Sinclair as Group 2’s tour coordinator and Kelly Rae as Group 1’s tour coordinator. Karen Sinclair will take a few moments to go over tour logistics and then we will begin boarding the buses.
Begin discussion as the bus leaves 2420 Steven Center to point out 2430 Stevens Center. Turn right onto Stevens Drive. (DRIVING) Coming up to the right is the 2430 Steven Center. Both 2420 and 2430 provided office space for the DOE. On the first floor is the Correspondence Control operation for the Richland Operations Office (RL) portion of the DOE workforce. A similar function is conducted in the 2440 Steven Center for the Office of River Protection Federal staff. Correspondence is received from and sent to a wide range of sources, both internal and external to the Hanford Site, including Site contractors, regulators, DOE-HQ, other federal, state and local agencies or organizations, stakeholders, media and private citizens. The mission of this operation is to provide the management of incoming and outgoing correspondence. For incoming correspondence, the significant majority of the incoming correspondence is opened, evaluated, responsibility assigned and distribution made – within 10 hour of receipt. It also includes receipt and processing of electronic incoming correspondence from at least one on-site contractor. For outgoing correspondence, this organization makes distribution both hard copy and electronic formats. At RL, From October 1, 2016 to September 2017, there were approximately 6,000 pieces of correspondence, which equates to processing approximately 180,000 images. At ORP, there were approximately 3,200 pieces of correspondence, and approximately 123,000 images processed.
