The original manual contained 19 chapters, was 3.5 inches thick, and was 1,132 pages long. NRMRL wishes to contract with a knowledgeable professional(s) in the area of sludge treatment and disposal. This individual(s) will manage/oversee preparation of the new manual and be skilled at technical editing and writing. The individual(s) will be expected to assemble materials provided from NRMRL and work with NRMRL to identify (volunteer) authors who can help to prepare a first working draft. The contractor shall then oversee the revising, updating, adding-to or subtracting-from this material. The new manual will provide the latest design information on all applicable technologies available for treatment, use, and disposal of municipal wastewater solids including grit, scum, screenings, primary sludges, biological sludges, chemical sludges, and septage. The updated manual is intended to be a useful resource for writers and decision makers at the federal, state, and local levels as they confront wastewater treatment and water reclamation and reuse issues. Significant organizational conflicts of interest (OCOI) exist under this procurement for the staff, officers, and members of the board of the following two scientific organizations: the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the Water Environment Research Federation (WERF). Therefore, it is considered in the best interest of the Government to preclude the staff, officers, and members of the board of WEF and WERF from award consideration as a prime contractor or subcontractor. The solicitation will contain the following provision, "Prohibition of the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the Water Environment Research Federation (WERF) from Being Considered Eligible for Award". The text of this clause will be as follows: The Water Environment Federation (WEF) specifically its staff, officers, and members of the board and the Water Environment Research Federation (WERF) specifically its staff, officers, and members of the board shall be considered ineligible for the award as a prime or subcontractor on any contract resulting from this solicitation. This action is being taken to eliminate significant organizational conflicts of interest concerns that would arise from inclusion of these organizations in the competition for this acquisition. THE EPA HAS SET THIS ACQUISITION ASIDE FOR SMALL BUSINESS. The North American Industry Classification Code is 541990 with a small business size standard of $6.5 million. A written solicitation, RFQ-OH-06-00219, is anticipated to be issued during the week of August 28, 2006. It is anticipated the solicitation will be issued as a request for quotes (RFQ). All responsible small businesses may submit a quotation in response to the solicitation which shall be considered by the Agency. This procurement will be pursued using FAR Part 12 Commercial Acquisition methods and procedures. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. The Government will award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the lowest priced, technically acceptable, responsible offeror whose offer meets the minimum needs of the goverment.
