B -- Requirements: (1) Technical Description: The key focus of this effort is to further developfield tested pollution prevention and remediation technologies that serve as an innovative means to save money and time while achieving compliance with all air, soil, and water regulatory requirements. The purpose of this acquisition is to apply promising field tested innovative technologies and not to test theoretical concepts or technologies that currently exist in a laboratory R&D phase. The remedial technologies areas of interest include, but are not limited to, vapor capture and treatment, phytoremediation, soil vacuum extraction techniques with particular interest in chlorinated sites, soil stabilization, passive and reactive treatment walls, natural attenuation/assimilation (either individually applied or applied in a treatment train), fate and transport models, Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL) removal, Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPL) removal, and innovative technologies for abandoned firing ranges. Additional areas of interest include innovative pollution prevention techniques, innovative site characterization approaches and tools, and innovative optimization systems for existing remediation operations (e.g. pump and treat) including sensors and data management systems. The government will provide four (4) technical problem sets on the Brooks AFB Home Page/Business Opportunities (SARAH) (www.brooks.af.mil/main.html) detailing specific site information and examples of Air Force contaminants and site conditions. The problem sets are intended to allow potential Offeror's the opportunity to better describe the application of their innovative technologies (if appropriate) against selected contaminates and typical site conditions. However, the problem sets are not inclusive of all environmental challenges facing the Air Force, and not intended to limit areas of interest. Therefore, Offeror's are not required to utilize the problem sets or address each specific problem set in their proposal. Note: Use of a problem set is appropriate if the innovative technology is applicable to the contaminate of concern and the site conditions. (2) Deliverable Items: The following deliverable items shall be proposed: (a) DI-MGMT-80368. Project Planning (monthly), (b) DI-MGMT-80227, Contractor Progress, Status and Management Report (monthly), (c) DI-MISC-80711, Treatment Study Test Design (draft/final), (d) DI-MISC-80711, Health and Safety Plan (as required), (e) DI-MISC-80711, Analytical Data (as required), (f) DI-MISC-80711, Scientific Report (as required), (g) DI-MISC-80508, Technical Report (draft/final, as required), (h) DI-A-3024A, Presentation Material (as required), (i) DI-Admin-81250, Conference Minutes, and (j) DI-FNCL-80331, Funds and Manpower Expenditure Report.
