- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to GSI Environmental Incorporated to provide follow on services to validate shear-thinning delivery fluid technology through field demonstration. The original project demonstrated and validated the use of shear-thinning delivery fluid for enhanced delivery of bioremediation amendments at a DoD site where chlorinated solvents are present. The project now plans to demonstrate that amendments can be delivered into lower permeability zones of a heterogeneous site using shear-thinning fluid enhanced delivery, quantify the increase in treatment efficiency in terms of the rate and extent of bioremediation for the targeted treatment zone, and determine the cost factors for applying the technology and compare those costs to baseline bioremediation practices. GSI Environmental Incorporated is the best contractor for this effort because if another contractor were to perform the proposed follow on effort, there would be a substantial duplication of effort in order for the contractor to establish a field site, build up the supporting laboratory facilities, develop the proper project team, and collect and analyze information. Objective of Scope of Work: Demonstrate that amendments can be delivered into the lower permeability zones of a heterogeneous site using shear-thinning fluid enhanced delivery; quantify the increase in treatment efficiency in terms of the rate and extend of bioremediation for the targeted treatment zone, particularly for the lower permeability zones, and the duration over which the fluid helps maintain suitable dechlorination conditions through diversion of competing electron acceptors and biodegradation of the shear-thinning agent, and determine the cost factors for applying the technology and compare these costs to baseline bioremediation practices. This is a special notice prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. However, any firm that believes it can meet this requirement may give written notification to the Contracting officer within fifteen (15) days of publication of this announcement. Supporting evidence must be in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirement. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will proceed with awarding a firm fixed price type contract to GSI Environmental Incorporated. Point of contact for this requirement is Nancy Hilleary at 703-428-6120 or nancy.l.hilleary@usace.army.mil Address: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, HECSA, 7701 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22315.
