B -- INFORMATION NEEDED (TECHNICAL AND COST) ON THE SPILL RESPONSE EQUIPMENT/MATERIALS (REVISED) DUE 091797 POC Earth Tech, ATTN: Mr Greg Maynor, 1461 E.Cooley Drive, Suite 100, Colton, California, 92324 voice (909)424-1919 ext. 604, fax (909) 424- 1917. KEY WORDS -- Regulatory and Environmental and Compliance and Spill and Response and Equipment. Request for Information -- A -- Introduction: Technology Transfer Division of the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) is interested in receiving information (technical and cost) on the spill response equipment/materials described below. The information will be used during an independent evaluation of this type of equipment/material. This CBD announcement is a request for information only and will not result in the award of a contract. However, results of the evaluation may impact future equipment/material purchases. Information submitted in response to the Request for Information should be sent to and received by EARTH TECH, 1461 E. Cooley Drive, Suite 100, Colton, California 92324, Attention: Greg Maynor, no later than 30 days from the announcement date in order to be considered during the evaluation process. Information submitted after 30 days will not be considered for evaluation. B -- Requirements: (1) Technical description: The purpose of this effort is to collect information on state-of-the-art equipment/materials used in the control and clean-up of hazardous material spills. An independent evaluation will be performed in order to identify equipment/materials that, if used, will result in cost and time savings when compared to existing methods, as well as protect human health and the environment, and facilitate environmental compliance. Cost evaluation will include equipment/material purchase, utilization, and disposal costs. (2) Information Requested: The information data sets submitted shall include the following: manufacturerFs name and/or vendorFs name, address, point of contact, telephone and facsimile number, e-mail address, intended use of the equipment/material, specific type of material that the equipment/material is effective in controlling/cleaning up, range of spilled-material quantity the equipment/material is effective in controlling/cleaning up, costs (purchase, utilization, and disposal costs), potential for spilled material to be recovered/recycled following cleanup, training requirements, estimated time required to control/cleanup a spill of a given size, potential hazards involved with using the equipment/material, potential material reactions, any storage requirements and/or shelf-life limitations, and independent evaluation documentation of the equipment/material effectiveness. If an above-mentioned item is not applicable, indicate so in the information package. If the equipment/material has not been independently evaluated, provide any available evaluation documentation. Incomplete information data sets will not be evaluated. C -- Evaluation Criteria: The information received will be screened to determine applicability to typical Air Force spill scenarios. The information will then be further screened based upon economic and technical feasibility. Only equipment/material information that is both applicable to typical Air Force spill scenarios and economically/technically feasible will be evaluated. The information will be evaluated based upon cost, effectiveness, ease of use, risk to emergency responders, regulatory concerns, and storage/shelf-life requirements. (0226)
