- Description
- This publication serves as a Notice of Intent for the US Environmental Protection Agency to acquire contractor services to provide on-site technical support to the Office of Research and Development, National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL), Western Ecology Division (WED) in Corvallis and Newport, Oregon. This is a small business set aside. The applicable NAICS is 541712 with a size standard of 500 employees. WED is a multi-disciplinary, ecological research laboratory that performs state-of-the-art research. Our website http://www.epa.gov/wed/ provides an overview of WED and the types of research conducted on terrestrial, freshwater, and estuarine/marine ecosystems. The successful contractor will provide technical support both on-site at WED facilities in Corvallis and Newport and (for short periods) at off-site and remote field sites (within the USA). The contractor shall: perform chemical, physical, biological, biochemical, statistical, geographical, and other standardized analyses; collect, acquire, store, categorize, integrate, and synthesize data and information; collect, format, process, document and provide quality control of samples and informational information from the laboratory and field; prepare, maintain, and update technical records, logbooks, QA records, and databases for work performed; operate and adapt specialized sampling, monitoring, analytical, and experimental equipment; provide statistical design and analysis support; design, develop, and implement simulation and statistical models; conduct sophisticated scientific analyses; conduct literature searches and provide factual reports on current scientific knowledge and methods; compile, organize, and summarize existing environmental data and geographic coverages and evaluate their utility; prepare and document alternative scientific methods for obtaining and analyzing information and recommend methodology for EPA approval; prepare high quality, written, and oral, scientific and technical reports on research results and work performed including publishing findings in peer-reviewed scientific literature; provide technical editing, statistical, and graphical support in the form of tables and figures for research publications and oral or written presentations; provide technical support for technology transfer operations to EPA program offices, regions, and other appropriate parties; participate in national and international scientific meetings through presentation of technical papers; organization, and facilitation of special symposia; propose and implement quality assurance and quality control requirements. The Government anticipates a cost-plus-fixed-fee, level-of-effort-term-type contract with a 12-month base and four 12-month option periods for a total contract period of performance of 60 months. The base term contract period of performance and each optional period of performance will consist of 10,800 hours. The Base Term contract period and each subsequent Optional period will have quantity options within each term for up to 44,200 additional hours. This could result in a maximum potential of 275,000 hours. The anticipated contract effective date for this procurement is 01/01/2011. This procurement represents a follow-on to contract EP-D-06-013. The anticipated release date of the Request for Proposals (RFP) is on or about 3/19/10. The EPA anticipates a pre-proposal conference to be held in Corvallis, Oregon, 7-10 days after release of the RFP. Proposals will be due approximately 30 days later. DRAFT copies of the Statement of Work and Evaluation Criteria are posted to the Internet for information purposes at: http://www.epa.gov/oam/rtp_cmd. The RFP and any subsequent amendments will be available ONLY via the Internet World Wide Web at the website above. No telephone or facsimile requests will be honored.
