DOE Releases Draft
RFP for Berkeley Lab
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The Department of Energy is now seeking comments on a
draft Request for Proposals (RFP) for the competitive
selection of a management and operating contractor for
Berkeley Lab. In a letter to Berkeley Lab employees, University
of California Vice President Robert Foley outlines the
steps the University plans to take in preparation for
a possible bid. With the release of the draft RFP we remind
employees that the selection of a prime contractor to
operate Berkeley Lab through a formal bidding process
requires the existing workforce of the Laboratory to abide
by certain restrictions related to that competition. Some
of these restrictions are extensions of existing employee
conduct requirements and others are unique to the competition
itself and are more delimited now that the draft has been
issued. Go here
to find out about charging time and effort and involvement
with prospective bidders. Go here
to read the DOE's press release announcing the RFP and
here
to read Foley's letter.

Work on Telephone
Systems This Saturday
The Information Technologies and Services Division will be upgrading the electrical lines that provide power to the Lab's telephone and networking systems on Saturday, Oct. 23. The work is not expected to cause disruption to telephone or networking systems. However, the possibility of an outage always exists. If there is an emergency and no dial tone is available, please activate the nearest building fire alarm and wait for emergency personnel to respond. A Lab-wide announcement will inform employees at the beginning and completion of the upgrade.

Presidential Candidates
On Science Policies
With the exception of the debate over stem-cell research, science remains a background topic in the current presidential campaign. Democratic candidate Senator John Kerry has occasionally highlighted U.S. science policy and charged that President Bush's administration has put politics and ideology ahead of science. Bush has responded, primarily through his science adviser, John Marburger, by pointing to the 44 percent increase in federal R&D since fiscal year 2001 and the record $132 billion in the administration's FY 2005 R&D budget. Recently, Physics Today asked Bush and Kerry nine questions covering a range of science topics. Go here to read their answers.
