D -- IDTC WITH THE DYNAMAC CORP FOR THE INITIAL FLDG OF THE HAZ SUBSTANCES MGMT SYST DEVEL THRU THE DEF ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY CORP INFO MGMT (DESCIM) SOL DACA31-96-R-0040 DUE 040996 POC Mary P. Cunningham, 410-962-3953 D. The Corps of Engineers intends to award a Sole Source Indefinite Delivery Type Contract (IDTC) with the Dynamac Corporation for the initial fielding of the Hazardous Substances Management System (HSMS) which was developed through the Defense Environmental Security Corporate Information Management (DESCIM) program. The purpose of the DESCIM Program is to migrate the myriad of existing redundant environmental information systems into flexible DOD standard information systems that will meet essential environmental requirements of the military community. The contractor will be tasked to continue to provide HSMS fielding support to Headquarters, Department of the U.S. Army (HQDA) activities and fielding support to selected Army Installations. The ongoing specific tasks will require the contractor to continue the evaluation of process improvements and evaluation of installation hazardous materials/hazardous waste (HM/HW) business practices and recommendations for improvement. Additionally, the contractor will be required to provide HSMS engineering environment support which consists of operation of a hardware/software testing facility for the evaluation of modifications, development and maintenance of the generic HSMS data base, and analysis of the feasibility of using existing information extracted from existing data bases to populate (load) the HSMS database. The contractor will also continue identification of the cost and benefits ofimplementing HSMS through the development of cost and benefit analyses. Additionally, the contractor will continue to develop and conduct training (i. e., orientation training, operators training, contractor certification, systems administrator/data base administrator training, and either Informix or Oracle training). New specific tasks will require the contractor to perform functional site surveys at installations, develop and provide documentation (e.g., functional description, users manual, HSMS implementation assistance guide, computer operation manual, and business practice procedures), and establish a training facility at a selected Army location. The contractor will also prepare and conduct meetings, working sessions, presentations and participate in an implementation planning workshop. Additionally, the contractor will provide any U.S. Army Environmental Center requests for generic HSMS fielding support that may facilitate implementation. The contract will require the contractor to have complete knowledge of the HSMS program (all tasks previously listed) and extensive experience with HSMS software and the hardware necessary for its operation both in a stand alone and network mode of operation. The contract will require recent extensive experience with Army Logistics and applicable hardware/software. Additionally, the contract will require extensive experience with existing Army functional HM/HW practices at all types of Army installations and familiarity with proposed modifications necessary to achieve successful HSMS initial operational capability (IOC) at five selected Army installations by 30 September 1996. Experience with HSMS personnel and thorough knowledge of the program is a significant requirement. The contractor will assume responsibility and liability for the ongoing specific tasks previously discussed: evaluation of process improvements, evaluation of Installation HM/HW business practices and recommendations for improvement, support for the HSMS engineering environment, cost and benefit analyses, and training. The contractor will assume liability for the existing generic HSMS database and completion of the development, population, and maintenance of ongoing database functions. The contractor will assume responsibility and liability for HSMS fielding support to HQDA activities and selected Army Installations (five Installations must achieve IOC by 30 September 1996). The contractor will also assume liability for evaluating and detailing process improvements. The contractor will assume responsibility for all the cost and benefits analyses performed justifying the implementation of HSMS, documentation, training, any and all liability that results from the contractor preparing and conducting meetings, working sessions, presentations. Additionally, liability for all functional site surveys and HSMS engineering environment support. The Government estimate for this work is approximately $1.0 million dollars.
