C -- INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS FACILITY O & M PLAN AND START-UP, TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, TOBYHANNA, PA SOL DACA31-93-C-0097 POC Mary Riche, 410-962-4880 The Government intends to negotiate a modification to the incumbent design firm, Burns and McDonnell, who have provided studies, design (477 drawings, 2 volumes of specifications, and 11 volumes of design analyses), and construction services during the last four years for the new Industrial Operations Facility at Tobyhanna Army Depot, Tobyhanna, PA, which includes sandblasting shop, painting shop, plating shop (paint strip, aluminum chromate, zinc phosphate, cadmium plate, cad chromate, copper plate, tin plate, metal strip, silver plate, zincate, etch stainless steel passivation, nickel plate, electro nickel lines), industrial pre-treatment plant, and other support operations. Burns and McDonnell, under contract DACA31-93-C-0097, will be tasked to provide operation and maintenance, start-up, permit approval, and other engineering support services to Tobyhanna Army Depot that are required to bring the facility to an operational level. Specifically, the work will involve providing personnel with specific engineering knowledge of this facility to operate the facility during start-up testing of all operations making adjustments as necessary to meet quality and permit requirements and the preparation of biddable documents for a competitive contract for equipment preventive/emergency maintenance. The work may also include other engineering services necessary to bring the facility into a fully functional and operational mode. The firm will retain full responsibility for the design of the facility and will use existing knowledge ofthe facility and its operations to minimize Government expense. This work is considered to be a highly specialized service and substantial duplication of cost will not be recovered through additional competition. This is not a request for proposal.
