B -- WATER AERATION EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT AND EVALUATION SOL DACW54-00-I-0001 DUE 081700 POC Daniel Small (910) 251-4730 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District is seeking a vendor to install and evaluate the feasibility of using artificial placed water aeration units to aid in restoration of water quality in a one hundred and sixty (160) acre estuarine bay, Jacksonville, North Carolina. Mechanical water aeration units would be used to circulation the water column to assist in destratifying oxygen levels to help prevent anoxia conditions above bottom sediments in the bay. Destratification of the water column is expected to achieve a steady state of disolved oxygen in the range of 1.5 to 2.0 PPM. Venders should be able to provide mechanical units as well as expert staff to install, maintain, and evaluate the effectiveness of the units to achieve the expected results. Installation and evaluation of the units should be scheduled to occur during the months of August through September, 2000. Posted 07/25/00 (W-SN478644). (0207)
