Z -- MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF A WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND COLLECTION OF SYSTEMS TO INCLUDE THE POTABLE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SOL 057&&&-9802-0001 POC Procurement Analyst Fran Malinowski 205-235-4256 Contracting Officer Yvonne Land 205-235-7559 (Site Code DAAC01) Anniston Army Depot is seeking sources for companies who have the capability to maintain and operate a Waste Water Treatment Plant and collection systems to include the potable water distribution system. The appropriate term is privatization, and privatization is defined as the transfer of ownership and responsibility for operation, maintenance, repair, upgrade, and plant replacement to the non-federal sector. A potential source must be able to assume liability for any noncompliances associated with its ownership and operation of the facility. A source may also be required to assume the facility's NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. DO NOT REQUEST SOLICITATION. The work required to operate and maintain the sanitary sewage treatment system shall include the pumping, treatment and discharge of domestic sewage as well as treated industrial wastewater from the industrial waste treatment plant; sludge management and disposal; corrective and preventive maintenance and repair of the system; water sampling and analytical services; response to emergency alarms; and completion of records and reports to provide continuous system operation in compliance with the terms of the NPDES permit. The system consists of the following: Ten buildings and/or associated support structures; 200,251 linear feet of mains and laterals; 21 lift stations; aerated grit chamber; 620,000 gallon aerated equalization basin; two aerobic digesters; two activated sludge aeration basins; three rectangular clarifiers; upflow sand filter; ultraviolet disinfection system; 11 sludge drying beds. The system flow rate is typically 0.3 mgd (million gallons per day) with a design flow of 0.52 mgd. The discharge is permitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management under permit number AL0002658. The work required to operate and maintain the industrial waste treatment system shall include the pumping, treatment, and discharge of industrial wastewater generated by industrial operations associated with military vehicle rebuild; hazardous and non-hazardous sludge management and disposal; corrective and preventive maintenance and repair of the system; water sampling and analytical services; response to emergency alarms; and completion of records and reports to provide continuous system operation in compliance with the terms of the NPDES permit. The system consists of nine buildings and/or associated support structures, 89,082 linear feet of mains and laterals and 15 lift stations and collection sumps. Influent streams to the treatment plant consist of wastewater generated by steam cleaning operations, oil/water separators, rinse waters from chemical cleaning operations and rinse waters from electroplating operations. The treatment plant consists of collection sumps, equalization basins, chemical addition tanks, flocculation tanks, reaction tanks, rectangular clarifiers, sludge holding tanks, upflow sand filters, cartridge filters, activated carbon adsorption, ion exchange columns, plate and frame filter press, pressure filter, and sludge dryers. The system flow rate is typically 0.1 to 0.15 mgd with a design capacity of 0.25 mgd. The discharge is permitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management under permit number AL0002658. The work required to operate and maintain the groundwater treatment system shall include the pumping, treatment, and discharge of groundwater from three different sites groundwater treatment units to the final effluent pumping station; hazardous waste management; cartridge filter and activated carbon replacement; corrective and preventive maintenance and repair of the system; water sampling and analytical services; response to emergency alarms; and completion of records and reports to provide continuous system operation in compliance with the terms of the NPDES permit. The treatment system consists of a pumping system from 17 wells, collection sumps at each of the three units, two packed air stripping columns at each of the three units, two activated carboncolumns at each unit, and discharge to the final effluent pumping station. The system flow rate is typically between 0.05 and 0.1 mgd. The discharge is permitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management under permit number AL0002658. All workers with a possibility of exposure to contaminated groundwater must have the OSHA-approved 40-hour health and safety training. The work required for operating and maintaining the groundwater treatment system associated with the Electroplating facility shall include the pumping, treatment, and discharge of groundwater from the facility to the final effluent pumping station; sludge management and disposal; corrective and preventive maintenance and repair of the system; water sampling and analytical services; response to emergency alarms; and completion of records and reports to provide continuous system operation in compliance with the terms of the NPDES permit. The treatment system consists of a pumping system, two packed air stripping columns, collection/equalization surge tanks, chemical addition, flash mix, flocculation, clarification, sand filtration and discharge to the final effluent pumping station. The system flow rate is typically between 0.25 and 0.4 mgd. The discharge is permitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management under permit number AL0002658. All workers with a possibility of exposure to contaminated groundwater must have the OSHA-approved 40-hour health and safety training. Work required to operate and maintain the potable water distribution system shall include the pumping, storage and distribution of potable water; corrective and preventive maintenance and repair of the system; and response to emergency alarms. The system consists of five buildings, two pressure reducing valves, seven reservoirs for potable water storage, four altitude valves, two booster pumping stations and 356,365 linear feet of mains and laterals. Exposure to hazardous materials is a concern, and the vendor will be required to prepare, submit, and follow a Site Safety Plan in accordance with OSHA requirements. Quality control for sampling and analysis is critical, and the vendor will be required to prepare, submit, and follow a proper Quality Assurance Plan. A qualified operator must be available for operating the facility 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Interested companies are requested to furnish technical literature, documentation stating present capability, and current or previous experience in this area. Responses should be submitted not later than 30 days after synopsis appears in CBD.
