- Description
- NAICS Code: 541620 The U.S. EPA National Risk Management Research Laboratory, located in Cincinnati, OH, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the University of Wisconsin under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1 to provide a technical study entitled "Engineering Assessment of Geosynthetic Clay Liners in Landfill Covers." The scope of this project includes the removal and laboratory analysis of landfill cover components to assess performance. The study will focus on monitoring the performance of cover systems where Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) comprise a critical element of the cover design. Data will be gathered and analyzed from GCLs in covers and recommendations for their future use will be based on results of this study. This notice is not a request for quotations. U.S. EPA market research indicates the University of Wisconsin is the only known source able to satisfy the Government's requirements. The University has the ability to conduct technical research activities, project planning, data gathering, data analysis and report writing regarding waste containment systems. Moreover, it is imperative that this task be completed in the shortest possible time frame as the information to be uncovered will comprise an important part of EPA's understanding of landfill cover systems and is immediately useful for many designers and owners of waste containment facilities as well as state, local and tribal government officials considering design proposals. The PhD researchers at the University of Wisconsin bring unique expertise gained in the execution of similar technical projects and are able to conduct this work within strict time parameters. Interested parties may respond to this requirement by providing written documentation that your firm possesses the ability to conduct research in this field of study. Such documentation must be submitted within 15 days of electronic posting of this notice, which will expire at 5:00 PM EST, Friday, September 13, 2002. A determination not to compete the proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis. This acquisition is being processed under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The applicable NAICS code is 541620. The anticipated award date is September 20, 2002. Interested parties should submit documentation in writing to Mr. Josh Bowers, using the following methods: 1.) by fax to 513.487.2109, or 2.) by email (bowers.joshua@epa.gov) referencing solicitation RFQ-OH-02-00257. No telephone requests will be honored.
