Description

The Environmental Protection Agency's Headquarters Contract Service Center proposes to procure contractor support for the Office of Solid Waste's Municipal and Industrial Solid Waste Division. The scope of work for this contract primarily includes providing EPA with technical support consisting of conducting: a) studies and surveys; b) research and analyses; c) support for guidance and regulation development; and d) outreach, and e) implementation support. These activities shall support the concept of integrated solid waste management, including the municipal solid waste management hierarchy of source reduction (including reuse), recycling (including composting), and disposal (including landfilling and incineration). Work will also support the Agency's mission of encouraging the purchase of products containing recovered materials, as well as sustainable material use. Technical support shall address all aspects of municipal, industrial non-hazardous, and special wastes management, including the special challenges faced by tribes including: financing, collection, generation, processing, transportation, risk assessment, cost accounting, economics, practicability, marketing of materials; programs for the procurement of products that are source reduced or have recycled content; product/package design, product stewardship, and manufacture; materials flows, industrial ecology, sustainability, resource use, monitoring of trends in other countries, state and local governments, and industry; system and facility design/construction/evaluation, and site selection; outreach, planning, education, and measurement of program effectiveness, waste characterization, and waste reductions including identification of adverse impacts and benefits (including those related to climate change). This effort is being competed on a full and open competition basis -- all responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the Agency. It is anticipated that the resultant contract type will be Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, with a one year base period and 4-one year option periods. The estimated total contract level-of-effort is 250,000 hours. The anticipated release date for the Request for Proposals (RFP) is June 7, 2001. The purpose of this CBD announcement is to notify potential offerors of EPA's requirement, generate the source list, and to direct interested parties to the EPA Office of Acquisition Management's (OAM) homepage on the "Doing Business with EPA" Internet World Wide Web site (http://www.epa.gov/oam/srpod) for further information on this procurement as it becomes available (telephonic requests for information relating to this procurement will not be honored). In an effort to streamline the procurement process, and to utilize the Internet and electronic communications to the maximum extent possible, the subject RFP, amendments and other related items for this procurement will be posted on this Web site. Also posted on the Internet will be an ongoing status update to inform interested parties of current information related to the procurement. EPA does not anticipate printing copies of the RFP, therefore, Potential Offerors are requested to download the RFP and amendments from this location, rather than requesting hard copies from this office. Interested parties may forward requests to be placed on the source list to Raoul D. Scott via the Internet E-mail stated below, via facsimile to (202) 565-2558, or to the mailing address that follows: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Superfund/RCRA Regional Procurement Operations Division; Headquarters Contract Service Center; Attn: Raoul D.
