The NFESC technical point of contact is Kevin Frantz, (805)982-1548. Contact with the NFESC Engineer identified in this announcement is encouraged to determine the extent of interest in a specific research project. The deadline for receipt of proposals is February 2, 1996. Multiple contracts with funding ranging from $100,00 to $500,000 each may be awarded. Proposals will not be evaluated against each other since each is a unique technology with no common work statement. Proposals identified for funding may result in a contract, however, there is no commitment by the Navy to make any awards, to make a specific number of awards or to be responsible for any monies expended by the proposer before award of a contract. When preparing your proposal, costs shall be separated into a basic effort that will address the preliminary testing of the proposed technology/methodology for each topic and separated into an Option that will address a full scale field testing of the proposed technology/methodology. If the results from the preliminary testing do not yield the desired results, the Option may not be exercised. The following is a description of the research required for this BAA. NFESC is interested in innovative and new technologies and methodologies that have entered the Advanced Technology Development stage and are ready for preliminary and full scale field testing. TOPIC NO. 1 - ASSESSMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION BY PESTICIDES. The objective of this topic is to find a new technology or methodology to delineate the extent of soil and shallow groundwater contamination resulting from various pesticides. The technology or methodology must have sufficient accuracy and precision to allow users to determine if site restoration of contaminated soils and groundwater must be undertaken. The technology shall be tested at a government furnished site at SWMU 15 (Old Pesticide Handling Area), NAVSTA Mayport, Florida. TOPIC NO. 2- ASSESSMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF TCE CONTAMINATION IN GROUNDWATER. The objective of this topic is to find a new technology or methodology to characterize the extent of soil and shallow groundwater contamination resulting from TCE. The technology or methodology must have sufficient accuracy and precision to allow users to determine if site restoration of contaminated soils and groundwater must be undertaken. The technology shall be tested at a government furnished site at Building 191, NAVSTA Mayport, Florida. TOPIC NO. 3 - DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR LEAKS FROM UNDERGROUND OILY PIPELINES. The objective of this topic is to find a new technology or methodology to test an oily waste collection system's integrity, and if a release has occurred, assess the vertical and horizontal extent of sediment, soil and shallow groundwater contamination from released contaminants. The technology or methodology must have sufficient accuracy and precision to allow users to determine where releases may have occurred and if site restoration must be undertaken. The technology shall be tested at a government furnished site at SWMU 47 (Oily Waste Collection System), NAVSTA Mayport, Florida.
