A -- R&D OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR TREATMENT & CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS WASTE AND OIL SPILLS SOL CI-00-10101 DUE 121399 POC Mike Hennessey WEB: Office of Acquisition Management, Contracts Management, http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. E-MAIL: OAM Contracts management Division, Cincinnati, hennessey.mike@epamail.epa.gov. The Environmental Protection Agency has a requirement for technical support for the in-house research program of National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) in the evaluation of technologies for the treatment and control of hazardous waste and oil spills. The contractor will work on-site at the A.W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center (AWBREC) and satellite facilities in Cincinnati, OH, and off-site at the contractor's facility, and in the field, depending on the requirements of the specific project. NRMRL conducts research to characterize the types and extent of hazardous waste contamination in the environment and to research, develop, evaluate, and demonstrate processes, treatment/control technologies, in-situ management of contamination, and approaches for remediating the contamination and restoring the ecosystem. Research studies are conducted in the areas of monitored natural attenuation, bioremediation, biochemical processes, phytoremediation, thermal remediation, and physical/chemical remediation. Research encompasses bench-, pilot-, and field-scale projects designed to provide practical multimedia solutions to environmental contamination (organic and inorganic) occurring in surface and subsurface soils, sediments and sludges, watersheds, riparian zones (marine and freshwater), the atmosphere, and industrial waste discharges of all types. The work will require the following disciplines: chemical engineer, chemist, environmental engineer, microbiologist, soil scientist, statistician, and lab technicians. On-site work at the laboratories at AWBREC will require approximately nine full time positions with the potential for an additional ten positions. The projection for the off-site work is up to 33,000 hours per year. The specific work areas associated with this contract are (A)concept development, research, development, evaluation, and demonstration of biological and biochemical processes, monitored natural attenuation, phytoremediation, physical/chemical treatment processes, and thermal treatment/control technologies, (B)engineering and cost analyses of the processes evaluated, (C) literature searches and reviews related to the processes evaluated, (D) design, fabrication, and installation of bench-, pilot-, and field-scale processes and systems, (E)testing and evaluation of bench, pilot, field, and prototype processes, (F) sampling and analytical support, (G)scientific database support, (H)statistical analysis and design, and (I)quality assurance/quality control. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED AS A RESULT OF THIS SYNOPSIS. This is a request for qualification statements from interested firms. Qualification statements should include information to demonstrate the firm has: the capability to provide technical disciplines and number of people, and equipment and facilities required to perform the work outlined above; experience providing personnel for on-site (at the customers facility) work; experience with similar type contracts (multiple on-going projects). Qualification statements should indicate the firms size status (SIC 8731, 500 employees) and if it is located in a HUB zone. Responses must be received no later than 12/13/99. Three copies shall be submitted. The address for express mail is USEPA, 4411 Montromery Rd. Norwood, OH 45212. Posted 11/22/99 (W-SN402623). (0326)
