P -- RECYCLING/DISPOSAL SERVICES FOR SHREDDED ALUMINUM, NAPALM, AND WOOD CHIPS POC John G. Durham CPCM, 509-372-6507. Sources Sought. This is a Notice of Sources Sought/market survey for commercial/industrial firms capable/interested in providing recycling/disposal services for approximately 23 million pounds of napalm, approximately 2.5 million pounds of shredded aluminum contaminated with residual amounts of napalm, and approximately 6.5 million pounds of chipped wood crating material. This is a request for interested potential sources and does not obligate a procurement action. However, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is currently planning the release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in May 1996, and a Request for Proposal (RFP) in June 1996. The current strategy is that offerors may have the option of proposing on any or all of the three waste streams. The transportation of these materials to awardee(s) facilities will be by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory subcontracts. Shipping of materials to the contractor is projected during the period of May 1997 through December 1999. Of importance, in the planned Statement of Work, is the recycling/reuse of the three materials to the maximum practible extent. Currently the procurement is planned in two phases. Phase 1) RFQ for potential offerors to demonstrate their ability to meet the following Qualification Criteria, and others to be contained in the RFQ: a) Federal RCRA authorization to treat, store, and dispose of hazardous waste, b) must be eligible to receive CERCLA wastes under CERCLA offsite policy, c) must have environmental impairment liability insurance (EIL) coverage to a minimum of $5 million, d) must have a responsible regulatory compliance history and, e) must have backup (meeting criteria 1 through 4) acceptance, and disposal facilities to ensure timely disposal of materials. Phase 2) Pre-Qualified firms will then be issued the RFP and provided samples of the napalm material. Award(s) are currently planned for September 1996. Interested/capable firms should submit a written request to receive the RFQ. (102)
