- Description
- NAICS Code: 541620 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) is reviewing and, as appropriate, revising the EPA document, Air Quality Criteria for Lead, EPA-600/8-83/028aF-dF, published in June 1986, and the associated supplement (EPA-600/8-89/049F) published in 1990. The NCEA Office in Research Triangle Park, NC is seeking contractors who can provide expertise and written material for various sections of Chapter 8 of the Lead Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD), which is titled, "Environmental Effects of Lead." The requirement was previously synopsized on March 22, 2005. Due to lack of responses, the Chapter 8 work is being further divided into smaller tasks and subsection. Separate requests for quotation (RFQs) will be issued for each section/subsection. Separate purchase orders will be issued for each section/subsection. Offerors may choose to quote on more than one section. The time period for performance of this work is May 2005 through April 2006, with optional tasks continuing the performance until February 2007. NCEA is under a very accelerated litigation-related time line to produce the first draft of this chapter by late June of 2005. RFQs for Chapter 8 are now as follows: RFQ-OH-05-00070 "Terrestrial Methodologies", Section 8.1.3; RFQ-OH-05-00071 "Terrestrial Species Response/Mode of Action", Section 8.1.4; RFQ-OH-05-00072 "Methodologies Used in Aquatic Ecosystems Research", Section 8.2.3; RFQ-OH-05-00073 "Aquatic Distribution of Lead", Section 8.2.2; RFQ-OH-05-00074 "Aquatic Species Response/Mode of Action", Section 8.2.4; RFQ-OH-05-00075 "Exposure/Response of Aquatic Species", Section 8.2.5; RFQ-OH-05-00076 "Effects of Lead on Natural Aquatic Ecosystems", Section 8.2.6; RFQ-OH-05-00077 "Critical Loads for Lead in Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems", Section 8.3; RFQ-OH-05-00078 "Terrestrial Distribution of Lead", Section 8.1.2. Services required include: (1) preparation and submission of an expanded outline of the chapter section, a JQM/QAPP and list of key studies; (2) participation in preliminary teleconference meeting for authors; (3) preparation of draft for peer-consultation meeting; (4) review of workshop draft of chapter; (5) attend peer-consultation workshop; (6) preparation and submission of written responses to comments from peer consultation workshop and first external review draft (ERD) and references; and (7) review of public comments from ERD and attendance and participation in CASAC meeting. Optional tasks include: (1) completion of second ERD and (2) completion of final draft of Lead AQCD. Successful performance for this contract requires the contractor to have: (1) a strong publication record in the area of the section and chapter of the specific request for quotation (2) past and current leadership positions in an academic or ecological research facility. This procurement is being conducted using Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12, Commercial Item, procedures. Request for quote packages may be requested from schopler.angela@epa.gov or by telephone 513-487-2036.
