E -- ACAMS AND ACAMS SAMPLING SYSTEM SOL W31RYO-1111-KG01 POC Contract Specialist Kenneth E. Goddard (256) 895-1127 (Site Code DACA87) Bechtel National Inc. (BNI), San Francisco, CA, is the competitively selected contractor purchasing all equipment (other than major process equipment) for all CONUS chemical demilitarization sites under Contract No. DACA87-89-C-0007 with the US Army Corps of Engineers. The Automatic Continuous Air Monitoring System (ACAMS) support the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program's (CSDP's) near real-time agent monitoring program. Some components of the existing ACAMS are becoming obsolete and several hardware modifications are needed to maintain state-of-the-art monitoring capability. The Army is in the process of issuing a modification to BNI to procure ACAMS for multiple CONUS sites and BNI has expended significant effort under this cost contract in working with instrument manufacturers to be able to timely respond to the Army's requirements. The Army intends to add authorization allowing BNI to procure ACAMS for testing on Johnson Atoll prior to installation at CONUS demil facilities. The system consists of the ACAMS instrument and the ACAMS sampling system. The Army can secure the procurement of the ACAMS for all CONUS and OCONUS facilities only from BNI. Since BNI has prepared to competitively procure the ACAMS for all CONUS facilities, it is likely that award of the effort to procure the ACAMS for Johnson Atoll to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Delivery, installation, and testing of the Johnson Atoll must be completed in sufficient time to procure and deliver system to the CONUS demilitarization sites in accordance with current construction schedules approved by the Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization (PMCD). All responsible sources may submit a proposal for Johnson Atoll which shall be considered by the agency. One purpose of this Synopsis is to publicize subcontracting opportunities to the small business community. See numbered Note 22 and 28. A formal RFP will not be issued, but a copy ofthe proposed supplemental agreement to Contract No. DACA87-89-C-0007 may be secured by written request to the contract specialist listed above.
