99 -- VALIDATION OF UNDERWATER UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE (UXO) DTECTION SYSTEMS SOL ECCMINS007 DUE 112098 POC Glenn Sweatt (650) 347-1555 ext. 318 E-MAIL: Click here to contact ECC via E-mail, gsweatt@gate.ecc.net. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF A SOLICITATION. THIS IS A NOTICE TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON EXISTING TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE USED FOR DETECTION OF UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE (UXO) UNDERWATER ECC is preparing to issue multiple subcontracts for the purpose of validating UXO detection systems for use underwater. Mare Island Naval Shipyard (MINS), Vallejo CA, is a former Naval faciltity that has been closed and is scheduled for transition to non-DoD agencies under the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC). Statement of Need. Though UXO detection systems for land use are fairly well understood, a similar body of knowledge for underwater UXO detection is not in existence. It is ECC's intent to award multiple subcontracts to firms, research institutions and other entities that have a demonstrated process or equipment for the location of underwater UXO. Objective: It is the intent of the acquisition to validate traditional and innovative approaches to underwater UXO detection. Key elements of Proposed Acquisition: Multiple subcontracts, not to exceed 5, will be issued. The subcontracts will allow for payment of out of pocket expenses related to the testing and validation of the proposed system for its intended purpose. The subcontracts will be Time and Materials with a ceiling amount, currently anticipated to be $15,000 for each subcontract. No proposal, research, or developmental costs will be reimbursed. The acquisition process will be as follows: (please note all dates are approximate; future notices and correspondence may update this schedule); Due date for proposer's responses: November 20, 1998. Selection of short list: December 4, 1998. Scheduled testing of technologies: January 15 to February 3, 1999. Final report on validation study: April 10, 1999. Proposers are advised to contact the POC for ECC, Glenn Sweatt, at gsweatt@gate.ecc.net to request a full RFP. ECC invites all interested parties to provide written comments to any aspect of this acquisition. It is ECC's intent to keep proposal costs to a minimum and ECC will accept well organized and succint brochures, qualifications statements, resumes, or other marketing/proposal information.
