A -- TREATMENT AND CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE AND OIL SPILLS SOL CI-00-10101 POC Mike Hennessey, 513-487-2032 WEB: Office of Acquisition Management, Contracts Management, http://www.epa.gov/oam/CINN_CMD. E-MAIL: EPA, OAM, Contracts Management Division-Cincinnati, hennessey.mike@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. An Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity type contract will be awarded. The contract period will be five years. The solicitation is unrestricted. 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 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. 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. The solicitation will be posted on the EPA web site about 3/6/00 and will be available only from the web site. No hard copies will be available. Posted 02/10/00 (W-SN424012). (0041)
