This statement of work is for the requirement to remediate water contaminated with TRPH and grease, which is collected in oil/water separators, holding tanks, grease traps, and waste water collection piping transferring contaminated water from its sources to wastewater treatment facilities. This shall be done with the use of microbes that will reduce the contaminates and the preventive maintenance activity. The product will be the latest generation of microbial bacteria identified as 637-HC and 327-GT: not to compare to less effective enzyme process. This work specification establishes the minimum requirements to provide bio-remediation services to treat water contamination of total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH) in oil water separators and grease in grease traps Luke AFB, AZ. There are three general sources for the contaminates to enter the oil/water separators/traps: sinks, paved surfaces such as the aircraft ramp with associated aprons and roads, and drains and food preparation facilities. The objective is two fold. First reduce the contamination to below Environmental Protection Agency standard 418.1 at the effluent from the wastewater treatment plant by commencing and sustain the cleaning process from the source throughout the system. Second, obviate the need to periodically contract removal of oil contaminates from the oil water separators, holding tanks and grease removal from traps for disposal at authorized landfills or processing facilities. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment; tools, materials, supervision and services necessary to treat contaminated wastewater. Reducing the TRPH count to less than 100 parts per million (PPM), phenol compounds to less than 5 parts per billion (PPB). Grease collected to particle count to EPA standards through the process where microorganisms will metamorphize the contaminates to a by-product of water and carbon dioxide. Contractor will install peristaltic pumps at 32 locations (22 for TRPH and 10 grease), and 16 (TRPH) manually fed locations where contaminates originate. The pumps/time dissolve cakes will introduce bacteria to the drain lines carrying the contaminates to the separators/traps. These process and digest contaminates adhering to the surface drain lines as well as those TRPH contaminates in the separators or grease in traps. A container filled with 327-HC/327-GT hydrocarbon will be installed with a battery-operated pump under a sink, near a drain. For those sites where a sink is not available, the contractor will construct a unit to provide a complete enclosure. No visible openings for equipment and products, and install it next to site where bacteria will be added. The pump is designed to release a predetermined amount daily. Contractor personnel will schedule replenishment of the container to ensure uninterrupted insertion of microbes to drain lines. Contractor must provide a complete enclosure shelter with no visible openings for all equipment that is not located inside of a facility. The contractor guarantees the bio-remediation process will successfully accomplish the objectives within the stated parameters. The contractor reserves the option to introduce alternate methods for treatment to enhance the process. The contractor will evaluate all grease traps to determine if they require pumping, then report locations that require pumping to necessary personnel. The contractor will have an Arizona certified analytical laboratory, perform quarterly tests for Phenols and TRPH after oil water separator #912 and before treatment at wastewater treatment plants to ensure meeting or less than stated limits. The contractor will perform all services in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations. The contractor shall provide the manpower and expertise to perform tasks associated with the contract. Contractor shall analyze the bio-remediation activity and determine proper actions to complete the process. Contractor is not responsible for removal of contaminates other than those stated in the contract. The contractor will develop the capability to integrate its data collection electronically (E-mail) with customer_s process activity. The contractor will establish and maintain a file for tracking each oil water separator/trap at which bacteria are added facility number (log sheet). The documents will define approximate quantities and dates of addition to tanks/traps. A file will contain analyses provided by the independent laboratory. Data will be tracked to establish parameters and monitored during subsequent years to identify variations, which exceed parameters. The contractor will identify the source and adjust the release of microbes to return the readings within parameters. The records will be placed in an inactive file at the conclusion of each fiscal year. The records will be stored for the period of the contract and released to the customer. The contractor will provide Material Safety Data Sheets for nutrients and bacteria supplied for the bio-remediation processes. Documentation stating and verifying the advertised product will be maintained as part of the consumption data file. The contractor will maintain records concerning maintenance of the equipment to include battery replacement. The contractor will establish and maintain records accurately defining the consumption of bacteria and nutrients if used to perform the tasks identified within the statement of work.
