B -- INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES DEMONSTRATION/SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA DUE 061200 POC Robin Truitt/510-986-0303 WEB: Specifics relating to pre-proposal format, http://www.barta.org/connections/associations.html. E-MAIL: oxenderSK@slc.navfac.navy.mil, rctruitt@aol.com. INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES SOUGHT FOR DEMONSTRATION AT FORMER NAVAL BASES IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA I. Announcement of Need The Bay Area Defense Conversion Action Team's Environmental Technology Partnership (BADCAT ETP) invites technology providers to demonstrate innovative and emerging technologies offering improved performance, reduced risk and increased cost effectiveness of methods over currently used treatment methods. BADCAT ETP has sponsored other technology demonstrations in the past few years. The results of these demonstrations are available on their web page. For this latest phase of demonstrations, BADCAT has identified the following regional priority needs and seeks firms offering advancement in: 1. THE TREATMENT OF DNAPLs: The partnerships seeks technologies capable of eliminating the deleterious effects of Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids ("DNAPLs") from soils and groundwater in an effective and cost efficient manner. All types of treatment technologies will beconsidered, including in-situ thermal and surfactant enhanced remediation technologies. 2. ENHANCED BIOREMEDIATION OF GROUNDWATER BENEATH LANDFILLS: BADCAT ETP seeks improved methods of bioremediating groundwater to decrease contamination. Groundwater located beneath landfills is one location of interest, but proposals need not be limited to this area. The types of technologies that will be considered include, but are not limited to, additives or other augmentation compounds which stimulate bioremediation. 3. IN-SITU TREATMENT OF PCBs AND PESTICIDES WITHIN WETLAND AREAS: BADCAT ETP is seeking to demonstrate the effectiveness of new technologies to remediate PCBs and/or pesticides in San Francisco Bay mud and shoreline sediments. Ideally, such technological innovations would limit the dispersal of these contaminants, but not involve capping or removal of the media. (Tentative)DEADLINE FOR PRE-PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: June 15, 2000 II. Benefits to the Vendor The BADCAT ETP strives to promote acceptance and implementation of new technologies by opening the doors for vendors to present their technologies to regulators, decision makers and other stakeholders. Vendors are given the opportunity to rigorously test and evaluate their technologies to help illustrate both technological limitations and successes. Benefits of demonstrating technologies through the ETP program include access to field test sites, peer reviewed plans, cost and performance data and reports, assistance with the permitting process and a head start on technology certification. Additionally, BADCAT ETP sponsors a open-house to showcase the technology to the public and potential clients and provides forums for marketing presentations and other promotional assistance. Although the project is vendor funded, ETP participants are included on the Dept. of Defense list of demonstrated technologies which can lead to federal contracts. But because the environmental and economic problems are not unique to the area, proven technologies have other wide-rangingapplications in the private and public sectors, and the ETP provides technology transfer assistance. III. What To Do Next: For technology providers wishing to be considered for inclusion in the BADCAT Environmental Technology Partnerships field demonstration program for innovative or emerging environmental technologies, a Pre-Proposal must be submitted to BADCAT ETP by June 15, 2000 (tentative date). Selection of participants is a two-phase, peer-reviewed process. First, the BADCAT ETPs Pre-Screen Board reviews pre-proposals to determine eligibility, technology feasibility, innovativeness, and demonstration benefits. The second part of the selection process involves the preparation of a detailed work plan, including site specific descriptions, a timeline and a template for data quality management and analysis. Further, a technical conference concerning site selection and licensing, permitting needs and logistics will be arranged. Pre-proposal format and content: A cover page or letter should include a Descriptive Title, the Names of Submitting Organization and Person to Contact, address, phone & fax numbers, and Internet address, and the technical applicability of proposed work. Provide a brief and specific summary of the technological applicability to the contaminant(s) and media of concern, project objective and expected results. Additionally, the Pre-proposal text, limited to 4 pages (8 1/2" x 11"), should 1)detail the scientific principles and methodology to be used. The text should describe the characteristics of the media (soil, sediment, groundwater, wetlands, etc.) where use would be most attractive, list the contaminant(s), and concentration range where application of this technology would be most effective and discuss any limitations of the technology within different media or contaminant levels; 2) provide evidence that the innovative or emerging technology is mature enough for field or production laboratory demonstration by summarizing research and development efforts; 3) provide a detailed technical description of the technology and its technical objective and describe any supporting facilities/utilities required for the proposed work; 4)quantitatively describe the expected or potential benefits in terms of reduced cost, increased effectiveness, or reduced risk to the public or workers and/or time for completion; 5) describe the technology in terms of achieving or maintaining overall protection of human health and the environment, e.g. permanence or ability to reduce and regulatory compliance explain how the technology will comply with applicable regulations, e.g. air emissions and include your understanding of the agencies involved or permits/approvals required; and 6) List key personnel and partnerships, including qualifications and describe the company's financial ability to commence and complete the demonstration. No other attachments, addendum or supporting materials will be considered. Mail pre-proposals to Robin Truitt, BADCAT ETP, c/o GOPAC & CEDA, 2nd Floor, Suite 2114, 250 Frank Ogawa Plaza, Oakland, CA 94612. All selections made by the BADCAT ETP are final, and appeals will not be accepted. Regional, California-based companies, or those willing to relocate to establish a satellite office in the Bay Area will be given preference. Field testing must be completed by March 1, 2001 after which the vendor has three months to prepare its draft and final reports. The entire project must be completed by June 1, 2001. More specifics relating to the Pre-proposal format can be found on the world wide web at http://www.barta.org/connections/associations.html or by e-mailing rctruitt@aol.com. Please feel free to call Robin Truitt, the BADCAT ETP Coordinator, at (510)986-0303 if you have any questions or concerns. Posted 05/25/00 (W-SN458921). (0146)
