Naval 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 http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-WATER/1998/August/Day-25/w22533.htm.
