- Description
- The Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Yuma Area Office, has a new requirement for the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the Water Quality Improvement Center (WQIC) advanced water treatment research facility located within the Yuma Desalting Plant (YDP) complex at 7301Calle Agua Salada, Yuma, Arizona. The WQIC research facility includes: the Yuma Area Office (YAO) Analytical Laboratory; Reclamation's only research and demonstration pilot-scale facility specializing in the advancement of water treatment and desalination technology; and other related WQIC and YDP requirements. The WQIC is a designated National Center for Water Treatment Technology, a nation-wide affiliation of publicly-funded water-research facilities that partner with the public for testing. The National Water Research Institute, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the U.S. Army sponsor the National Centers Program. The goal of the National Centers Program is to promote improved water-treatment processes through united research efforts by government, academia, and private industry. There are currently only seven National Centers in the U.S., and each center explores different water research focus areas. The Analytical Laboratory supports the YDP, WQIC and other Government authorized operations by performing chemical, biological, and physical tests; and preparing the data for engineering and data reporting. The mission of the WQIC is to advance the development and transfer of water purification technologies at its state-of-the-art facility through field tests, hands-on training, and implementation. The varying levels of research focus on the following research goals: (1) analytical laboratory services for YDP and the YAO; (2) to reduce the cost to operate and maintain the YDP; (3) securing safe, clean water supplies for the West now and in the future; and (4) transferring federally-developed technology to the public pursuant to the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986. The government anticipates that only one award will be made. The successful contractor shall provide all contract management, planning, supervision, administration, personnel, operation, engineering support, labor, tools, equipment, supplies, materials, chemicals, services, transportation, and facilities necessary to perform service in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW). The selected contractor must exhibit extensive advance water treatment research experience specializing in reverse osmosis (RO) desalting technology as specified in the SOW areas: (1) Administration; (2) Operations; (3) Maintenance; and (4) Engineering support. The proposed contract is a combination firm fixed price performance base service incentive contract for the base requirement and an IDIQ for variable requirement (full details in solicitation). The performance period will have a base (1 year) and four 1 year options. The Government is responsible for determining the operation level of each contract year. The Government, at its option and with notice, may increase or decrease the level of operation to achieve a desired level of support in accordance with the SOW. Effective October 1, 1997, contractors are required to register their firms in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database prior to receiving a contract award. This database provides basic business information, capabilities, and financial information to the Government and complies with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, which requires federal agencies to have the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of every contractor and to pay every contractor through electronic funds transfer. Registration can be accomplished through the World Wide Web at http//www.ccr.gov. Contractors are also required to register at the Department of Interior website, National Business Center, http://ideasec.nbc.gov in order to be placed on the bidders mailing list and to download the solicitation and associated attachments. This solicitation is a full and open competition solicitation. The NACS code is 561210 (Facility Support Services). The solicitation will be available on or about May 01, 2003.
