- Description
- Introduction: This publication serves as a notice that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) will issue a solicitation for USEPA Region 10 Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program Field Inspection and Technical Support Services. USEPA anticipates issuing invitations for bids utilizing a competitive total small business procurement process and USEPA will not issue a paper solicitation for this acquisition. Therefore, the purpose and intent of the FedBizOpps announcement is to notify all capable, qualified small businesses (including Small Businesses, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, 8(a) firms, Small Disadvantage Business (SDB)) relative to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330 - Engineering Services (i.e. Specifically Petroleum Engineering Services) (size standard of $4,500,000 in gross annual receipts or income as defined in 13 CFR 121.104) possess the capability to support USEPA Region 10 Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program Field Inspection and Technical Support requirement. The contract type to be awarded will be a Firm-Fixed-Price, Performance Based Service Contract and will be for a base year and four one year option periods. Also, this procurement is being conducted under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 14, contracting by Invitation for Bid (IFB). The tentative contract award date is May 29, 2010. Again, the synopsis, amendments and other information related to this procurement will be posted on EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/oam/regions/index.htm on or about May 31, 2010. All interested parties should check this site frequently for updates and information related to this procurement at the above link through the date of any award. If you have any questions regarding this notice please contact (by email only) the Placement Contracting Officer. No facsimile or telephonic responses will be accepted. Description of Work: Capable, qualified small business shall be able to provide the field inspection and technical support to the UIC program in the Office of Compliance and Enforcement. Injection wells are regulated by EPA or state primary agencies through the Underground Injection Control (UIC) program, as directed by Part C of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Contractor must have no conflict of interest with current or potential owners/operators of UIC wells in Region 10 including but not limited to: Conoco Phillips, BP Alaska, Pioneer Natural Resources, Chevron, ENI, Cook Inlet Energy LLC, State of Alaska, Municipality of Anchorage, or other owner/operators/UIC permittees in Alaska. This project is to provide support to the USEPA Region 10 UIC program including capability to: 1) witness Class I injection wells mechanical integrity tests (MIT) in Region 10 including arctic Alaska, 2) conduct compliance inspections of Class I/II/IV geosequestration and geothermal wells and make recommendations, 3) provide UIC technical support on engineering, technology and regulatory aspects of both shallow and deep wells (Classes I, II, III, IV, V and VI), 4) provide UIC technical support on the engineering, technology and regulatory aspects of geosequestration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (classes VI geosequestration and II enhanced oil recovery (EOR), 5) conduct field compliance inspections of shallow injection (classes IV and V) wells requested, and 6) provide UIC technical support on the Region 10 UIC database for Class I wells and database development for other well classes (example class V, Tribal, Geosequestration) as needed. Technical support requires working knowledge of petroleum engineering, well construction, well completion, reservoir engineering and reservoir mechanics of injection in arctic Alaska permafrost prone geologic formations as they apply to federal EPA and State UIC regulations. 1) Witness Class I injection wells mechanical integrity tests in Region 10. Witness Mechanical Integrity Tests (MITs) conducted on all Class I non-hazardous industrial waste injection wells located in Alaska, primarily in the Cook Inlet region and North Slope of Alaska. Upon completion of testing, submit written reports identifying any deviations from the approved internal and external MIT procedures specified in the UIC Permit, and describe any critical deficiencies in mechanical integrity revealed, in the contractor's professional judgment, by the observed tests. 2) Conduct compliance inspections of Class I/II/IV geosequestration and geothermal wells and make recommendations regarding operation and maintenance of injection wells, including but not limited to solids injection wells on the North Slope of Alaska plus evaluate fracture prediction modeling and compare performance history of injectors as needed. 3) Provide UIC technical support on engineering, technology and regulatory aspects of both shallow and deep wells (Classes I, II, III, IV, V and VI). Provide UIC Technical Support to EPA relative to the engineering, technology and regulatory aspects of both shallow and deep wells (Classes I, II, III, IV, V and VI). Such support may include but is not limited to a) technical review of Class I, II, V, Geothermal, and VI Geosequestration wells, and permit applications submitted by operators to EPA or a primacy state; b) technical review of external and internal mechanical integrity test procedures including well design, operations and maintenance, fluid type restrictions etc. from the standpoint of protectiveness and efficiency and relative risk; c) site inspection planning and sampling for legally defensible actions in accordance with EPA directives at wells quality assurance project plans (QAPPs); d) determination of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) content from open hole geophysical logs for determining aquifer exemptions and Underground Sources of Drinking Water (USDW and No USDW ) rulings and e) any other UIC related technical and regulatory issues as identified by EPA applicable to the direct implementation or primary state oversight responsibilities 4) Provide UIC technical Support to EPA relative to the engineering, technology and regulatory aspects of geosequestration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (Classes and VI Geosequestration and II enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Such support may include but is not limited to a) technical review of Class VI CO2-GS and Class II CO2-EOR wells, and permit applications submitted by operators to EPA or a primacy state; b) technical review of external and internal mechanical integrity test procedures including well design, operations and maintenance, fluid type restrictions etc. from the standpoint of protectiveness and efficiency and relative risk; c) site inspection planning and sampling for legally defensible actions in accordance with EPA directives at wells quality assurance project plans (QAPPs); and d) any other UIC related technical and regulatory issues as identified by EPA applicable to the direct implementation or primary state oversight responsibilities. 5) Conduct field compliance inspections of shallow injection (class IV and V) wells requested. The contractor shall make observations and recommendations needed to ascertain whether or not the owner/operator is in compliance with the applicable UIC regulations. The inspections shall be conducted in a manner which allows EPA to effectively pursue formal UIC enforcement action, if warranted. 6) Provide UIC technical Support to EPA relative to the Region 10 UIC database for Class I and database for other classes (example class V, Tribal, Geosequestration) as needed. This is an ongoing activity. The contractor will develop and support an automated tool to transfer data from the Region 10 Class I database (plus potentially other classes including but not limited to a Class V database) to the National UIC database every quarter. Skills required includes proficiency in Access query SQL and Excel, understanding of relational database management system, familiar to XML plus knowledge of UIC program business is required including engineering, technology and regulatory aspects of Class I, II, III, IV, V, Geothermal, and VI Geosequestration wells).
