A -- INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES SOL N47408-98-R-1606 DUE 070198 POC Karla Jenkins 805-982-2636 PHASE I PRE-PROPOSALS GROUND WATER MONITORING TECHNOLOGY SOLICITATION and REMEDIATION OF SOIL CONTAMINATED WITH LEAD PAINT TECHNOLOGY SOLICITATION and LEAD PAINT ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGY SOLICITATION DEADLINE: July 1, 1998 Announcement of Need The Bay Area Defense Conversion Action Team Environmental Technology Partnership (BADCAT ETP) seeks innovative and emerging remediation, abatement, and monitoring technologies for field demonstrations at former Naval facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Specifically BADCAT is seeking firms with offering advancement in: Groundwater Monitoring: BADCAT ETP seeks monitoring technologies that may improve upon the accuracy and cost effectiveness of methods used currently. Consideration will be given to proposals that address long-term monitoring of groundwater contaminated with both organic compounds, particularly volatile organic compounds, and inorganic compounds. The type of technologies that will be considered include but are not limited to: sample acquisition technologies, field measurement technologies, remote monitoring technologies (e.g., fiber-optic instruments and sensors with on-line analyzers), and software applications which can be used to optimize groundwater monitoring strategies. Remediation of Soil Contaminated with Lead Paint Technology The partnership seeks technologies to address lead paint in soil, particularly in residential settings, that may improve upon cost effectiveness while effectively mitigating exposure. Consideration will be given to both in situ and ex situ treatment technologies. The type of technologies that will be considered include but are not limited to: soil washing, chemical treatment, recovery and recycling, and solidification/stabilization.

The type of technologies that will be considered include but are not limited to: soil washing, chemical treatment, recovery and recycling, and solidification/stabilization. Lead Abatement Technology Finally, BADCAT ETP will provide an opportunity for selected technology providers to demonstrate the effectiveness of new technologies to abate lead paint on wood surfaces, particularly homes with wood siding and wood trim, that may improve upon cost effectiveness while effectively reducing both short- and long-term exposure. Consideration will be given to proposals that abate lead paint by stripping or by encapsulation. The type of technologies that will be considered include but are not limited to: innovative blasting methods, mechanical methods, chemical methods, sonic methods, and innovative encapsulation methods. The BADCAT ETP is a public-private collaboration of Bay Area Economic Forum (BAEF), Bay Area regional Technology Alliance (BARTA), California Environmental Protection Agency, United States Environmental Protection Agency, United States Navy, Chevron Research and Technology Co., San Francisco State University's Center for Public Environmental Oversight (CPEO) (formerly CAREER/PRO), and other regional technical experts working to help expedite transfer of Bay Area closing bases by integrating new environmental technologies into the remediation process. This is a cooperatively resourced project and proposers will be expected to self-fund primary demonstration services. Local or California companies, or those willing to relocate or establish satellite offices in the Bay Area will be given preference. Screening: Phase I and Phase II Selection of technologies is a two phase, independent peer review process. During Phase I, a Prescreen Board reviews pre-proposals to determine eligibility, technology feasibility, innovativeness, and demonstration benefits. A number of technology providers from the Phase I pre-proposal solicitation are then invited to prepare a Phase II final proposal. The Phase II proposal package includes final proposal requirements, demonstration site descriptions, and an invitation to attend a technical conference for a hands-on discussion of the demonstration sites and the overall program. The Phase II package also includes demonstration work plan template so that technology providers can anticipate preparation of a demo work plan, which includes a data quality management and analysis plan, if selected for demonstration. During Phase II, a Selection Board reviews Phase II final proposals. All selections will be final and appeals will not be accepted. BADCAT and BARTA will address any questions and concerns. Project Benefits The Project gives the Department of Defense (DoD) and technology providers the opportunity to rigorously demonstrate and evaluate technologies on strategically selected demonstration sites that, when transferred to sites with high reuse priority, can yield a "faster, better, cheaper" cleanup process for expedited property transfer and revenue generation. Not only does the Project provide DoD with data on technology solutions to priority contamination problems, but it also helps illustrate technology limitations and identifies areas warranting additional research and development. In an environment where DoD, regulatory agencies and the private sector are reviewing and monitoring the processes preceding and during the demonstrations, technology providers are afforded the opportunity to produce reliable cost and performance data. Data generated during demonstrations is (1) included in the DoD's pool of demonstrated technologies for future use, (2) applicable for use in the California Environmental Protection Agency (CAL EPA) certification program and (3) accessible to secure other government or private sector cleanup efforts. A successful demonstration places the technology provider on the Navy's list of proven technologies and enhances the provider's position to compete for contracts. It is important to note that a successful demonstrations will not automatically result in a DoD contract. However, a successful demonstration yields reliable data collected in a manner approved by the Navy, regulatory agencies, and private sector that can place technology providers in a better position to compete for Navy and private sector contracts. Phase I Pre-proposal Format and Content All organizations desiring inclusion in the BADCAT Environmental Technology Project for conducting field or production laboratory demonstrations on innovative and emerging environmental technologies, must submit a Phase I pre-proposal to BADCAT at 2100 Broadway Suite 303, Oakland CA 94612 (phone) 510-628-8330 (FAX) 510-628-8338 by 5:00 pm June 1, 1998. An organization may submit more than one Phase I pre-proposal but each must address a single technology. Pre-proposals must not exceed four pages (4) (8 1/2 x 11, with one inch margin) in total length. A cover letter and references may be affixed, however, no attachments, addends, or supportive material will be allowed. References to the availability of supporting materials should mention types, content, purpose, etc. Proposals for technologies which require more than 4 months to complete will not be considered.
