Oden,Contracting Officer,(513)487-2126 WEB: Office of Acquisition Management -- Cincinnati Contracts, http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. The EPA has in effect contract 68-C4-0031 with Dynamac Corporation, 2275 Research Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850-3268. The purpose of the stated contract is to provide contractor technical support to R.S. Kerr Environmental Research Center Technical Assistance and Technology Transfer Program in the following areas: 1) Remediation and waste management activities; 2) Hydrogeological and geophysical sampling, and analytical support; 3) Subsurface remediation technology treatability studies and field performance evaluations; 4) Technical information transfer; and 5) Technical support relative to ecosystem restoration activities, including sampling and technical information review and analysis. The Agency has initiated a follow-on Request for Proposals (RFP) PR-CI-99-13292 which will provide similar services with the award projected for 10/15/99. The Agency intends to negotiate an extension to 68-C4-0031 through 10/31/99 in order to ensure continued contractor support until the follow-on contract is awarded;specifically, this will allow for continued effort under the following work assignments, which entail response-type actions, and cannot be deemed to be complete by 06/30/99. Up to 50% of the work performed under these work assignments requires quick contractor response, ranging from 5-20 work days.
