COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JANUARY 11,1999 PSA#2259Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Philadelphia Purchase
Branch, Code 335, Bldg. 4, Philadelphia Business Center, Philadelphia,
PA 19112-5083 A -- TECHNOLOGIES, PROCEDURES, CONCEPTS, SYSTEMS, ALTERNATIVE
MATERIALS, OR DEVICES TO REPLACE, MINIMIZE, OR PROCESS DECK RUNOFF
DISCHARGE SOL N00167-99-SS-0009 POC C. Joan Miles, (301) 227-1159,
Catherine L. Rowe, (301) 227-1100 The Carderock Division, Naval Surface
Warfare Center (CDNSWC) seeks sources to provide technologies,
procedures, concepts, systems, alternative materials, or devices to
replace, minimize, or process deck runoff discharge. This deck runoff
is the result of precipitation, washdowns, and seawater falling on the
weather or flight deck of a vessel which is discharged overboard
through deck openings. Contaminants on the deck originate from topside
equipment components and varied activities that take place on the
deck. Deck runoff may include residues of JP-5, gasoline, diesel fuel,
Naval distillate fuel, grease, hydraulic fluid, soot, dirt, paint,
glycol, cleaners such as sodium metasilicates, and solvents. A number
of metal and organic pollutants may be present in the discharge,
including silver, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, oil, grease,
and phenol. Potential offerors are requested to respond with technical
documentation supporting the technology, concept, system, alternative
material, or device. The proposed solution must demonstrate the
ability to control, reduce, or eliminate the discharge and some or all
of its constituents listed above. Additional information must include,
but not be limited to, the following: process description, current
commercial or military applications, specific applications in the
marine environment (including customer references/ship class/name),
processing rate capability, normal operative and maximum permissible
pressures, physical size, total dry and wet weights, maintenance
requirements, operational manning requirements, power consumption per
hour of operation, utilities required, secondary wastestreams
generated, and equipment performance and testing results. Technical,
industry, or professional society certifications or endorsements should
be provided, if available. A summary of agents or contaminants which
could potentially interfere with the operation and performance of the
technology is also requested. In evaluating the submissions, DoD will
consider the following criteria: (1) the nature of the discharge that
the technology, concept, system or device is designed to process, (2)
the effectiveness of the technology, concept, system or device at
mitigating the environmental effects of that discharge, and (3) the
technology, concept, system or device's cost, practicability and effect
on operations or operational capability when installed and used on a
vessel. This synopsis is for information purposes and to identify
potential technologies and offerors. This sources sought announcement
does not constitute an RFP and does not obligate the government in any
way to purchase or test any of the potential solutions offered.
Further, it does not commit the government to pay for any proposal
costs in response to the sources sought announcement. Submit responses
for this synopsis to Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center,
Code 633, Attn: Sheila Riggs (Deck Runoff), 9500 MacArthur Boulevard,
West Bethesda, Maryland 20817-5000. Responses to this sources sought
announcement must be received within 45 days from the date of
publication. For additional technical information on deck runoff, refer
to the nature of discharge (NOD) report available at
http://206.5.146.100/n45/doc/unds/Proprule/Rule_idx.html. For more
information on this effort, please consult the Federal Register dated
25 August 1998 or visit the notice on the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's homepage at
