- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to determine the availability of qualified Contractors. The primary North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this requirement is 541712, Research Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). The Small Business Size Standard is 500 Employees. The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) is seeking businesses to provide services to further the understanding of long-term risk reduction from activated carbon treatment of sediment. Aligned with this purpose, the goal of this project is to assess the ecological recovery of a contaminated site after in situ treatment. The main objectives of this strategy are to incorporate rapid, inexpensive assessment tools to measure contaminant concentrations in the sediment pore water, to use a biodynamic modeling approach to predict contaminant burden at the base of the food web, and to develop a general model to predict the ecological characteristics of recovery. The three objectives are tied together in that biodynamic modeling predictions of contaminant uptake, which depend on contaminant pore water concentrations measured with the rapid assessment tools, are employed in the general ecosystem recovery model. Using this comprehensive strategy, researchers will assess the ecological recovery at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Parcel F (San Francisco Bay, California) after in situ remediation by activated carbon amendment. It has been determined that a follow up study is needed to assess the long-term risk reduction for hydrophobic organic contaminants in sediment amended with activated carbon. This market survey is for information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). It is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government. No award will be made as a result of this market survey. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any private sector input as a result of this market survey. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this survey. Interested Offerors shall respond to this Sources Sought Synopsis no later than 1:00 pm, 20 May 2010. Responses can be submitted via standard mail to US Army Corps of Engineers, Humphreys Engineering Center Support Activity, 7701 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22315 or e-mail to Nancy.L.Hilleary@usace.army.mil
