(d) TECHNICAL APPROACH AND STATEMENT OF WORK

The proposal must contain a description of the demonstration project in sufficient detail to judge the reasonableness and adequacy of the technical approach. This description must include detailed information about the process selected for demonstration, including where available:

0 Process flow diagrams

o Energy and mass balances

o Major equipment requirements

o Equipment layout sketches

Plot plan(s) and off-site requirements

0 General design specifications

o Unique design specifications (e.g., specialized

construction materials required)

0 Raw materials and utility requirements (water, power,

coal, etc.)

The offeror must define and provide the logic for the tasks required to complete the project in sufficient detail to clearly show how the project will proceed. The description must include but not be limited to:

0 how pre-demonstration background data will be used to

confidently design the demonstration

0 how operation will be conducted to maximize advancement of

0 how project technical and environmental data will be collected, analyzed, and reported

0 how project will be scheduled (major milestones, decision points, etc.)

o a facility disposition plan. This plan should show the extent to which permanent (non-severable) improvements and other alterations to real property will be made and the proposed approach to, and plan for disposition of, the facility and all property included as part of the project. If operation beyond the life of the project or abandonment

in place is proposed, this plan should contain the details of the transition, including necessary coordination with DOE.

In addition to the discussion above, the offeror must provide

a proposed Statement of Work (SOW) which, as revised and accepted by DOE, will become part of the Cooperative Agreement if the proposal is selected. The SOW must outline the project tasks according to a work breakdown structure listing the logical sequence of activities to successfully complete the project.

The proposed SOW must clearly define and be structured on the basis of the following phases:

Phase 1: Design and Permitting

Phase 2: Construction and Startup ("Shakedown")

Phase 3: Operation, Data Collection, Reporting, and Disposition

Subdivision of phases is permissible. It is recognized

that some proposed projects may have already completed one

or more of the above phases.

The SOW must include a definitive list of the deliverables to be furnished to the Government during each phase. If any

technical data are to be withheld, they must be identified in accordance with SECTION III.38, "Rights in Technical Data." The Government requires as deliverables plans, schedules, and management reports to be used by the participant to plan, control, manage, and execute the project. The Government also requires the reporting of technical, economic, and environmental data that will result from the project. The list of minimum required reporting is contained in Attachment C to the Model Cooperative Agreement which is provided as Appendix B to the

PON.

These reports include:

о An Environmental Monitoring Outline, Plan, Quarterly and Annual Environmental Monitoring Reports. As a guideline, the format developed by the Synthetic Fuels Corporation is provided within Attachment C to Appendix B.

An Environmental Report containing site-specific information required for DOE to satisfy the NEPA requirements. (See SECTION III.27, "NEPA Strategy," and Appendix J, "Information Requirements for NEPA.") This report must be provided, and the NEPA process completed, before detailed design or construction can begin.

0 Project Evaluation Plan(s) and subsequent Project Evaluation Report(s) for each project phase which will provide the basis for the decision to proceed to the next phase (see Appendix B Model Cooperative Agreement, Article II(c) (2) and Article III).

Other minimum requirements are further described in Appendix B.

The SOW must include scheduled times for formal project reviews. The number and timing of such reviews are to be proposed. The Government requires at least the following reviews:

(1) Phase I - Two (2) reviews to be held at about the 40% and

90% design points. If design is partially or fully
completed at the time of award, the project reviews will
be adjusted accordingly.

The Model Cooperative Agreement provides for decision

points at the conclusion of project phases. The proposed SOW must allow for these decision points. The Government recognizes
