Description

PART: U.S. GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTS SUBPART: SERVICES CLASSCOD: B-Special Studies and Analyses -- Not R&D -- Potential Sources Sought OFFADD: {Sacramento District} SUBJECT: B-SERVICES ENTITLED, THERMOCHEMICAL CONVERSION TECHNOLOGIES FOR USE AT ARMY INSTALLATIONS SOL N/A POC Mr. Richard Lampo, (217) 373-6765; (217) 373-6732 (fax) e-mail: richard.g.lampo@erdc.usace.army.mil DESC: This is a market survey being conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Champaign, IL, for the Army Base Realignment and Closure Office, Pentagon, DC, to identify innovative thermochemical conversion processes for the treatment and disposal of asbestos, PCB, impregnated asbestos, lead based paint, and other hazardous construction materials. The Army is seeking to identify sources of large- scale, mobile or fixed, technologies that can process many thousands of tons of material. The technology(ies) must be capable of processing debris volumes ranging from 1 cubic foot packages up to full size building demolition debris (typical buildings range from 5,000 -- 10,000 square feet in size). The single technology or treatment train of technologies must be able to destroy or render non-hazardous all of the above referenced materials in combination with standard building demolition debris with little or no segregation. Standard building debris can include, but is not limited to: siding (typically wood or asbestos-cement), gypsum wallboard, flooring, concrete, roofing, insulation, dimensional lumber, plywood and various other wood products, metal piping and duct work, electrical fixtures and lighting, and glass. A unit cost per cubic yard of material processed should be provided considering both small volumes (1 cubic foot) to large volumes representing the demolition of a typical World War II-era wooden building containing the above referenced hazardous and non-hazardous materials. The unit cost should assume that the building has already been demolished and the material has been brought to the treatment site with little or no prior segregation of material. Interested companies should submit a brief description of the technology(ies), its ideal applications, and appropriate data to substantiate that the technology(ies) qualify with the above listed requirements. Please also provide any known permitting requirements using California as the most stringent example. All responses to this request should be made in writing and should be received by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Champaign, IL, no later than 16 February 2001. This is a stand-alone (sources sought) announcement; there are no Requests for Proposals (RFPs) being prepared at this point. All submittals received will be reviewed and analyzed as part of the market survey. The technologies identified may be considered for incorporation in future RFPs or other solicitations (if any). This is a request for information only and is not to be misconstrued as a solicitation for proposals. This announcement is not to be considered as a commitment of the Government. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information -- this is a potential sources sought, market survey only. Interested parties with qualifying technologies should submit two (2) copies of their submissions (and one (1) electronic copy, Adobe Acrobat PDF file, if possible) to the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Champaign, IL, office listed above.
