- Description
- United States Government ?V Maritime Administration Program Research and Develop Announcement (PRDA) for National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) Vessel Defueling/Removal and Tank Cleaning Solutions Description: The U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration (MARAD), South Atlantic Region, maintains ships stowage facilities for merchant and Navy ships at the James River Reserve Fleet (JRRF), located on the James River at Fort Eustis, VA. These ships have become obsolete due to age and contain various amounts of fuels, oil, lubricants, oily water and ballast water in their tanks. Some of the fuel tanks have leaks due to steel deterioration. MARAD is seeking innovative technical/management approaches to the environmentally safe and economically feasible defueling and removal of all petroleum products, as well as tank cleaning operations of obsolete vessels. (A complete listing of the vessels is attached for informational purposes as Attachment A. This list of ships is subject to change.) In addition to conventional fuel removal and disposal and tank cleaning techniques, innovative solutions are invited that employ modern environmentally safe technology, including, but not limited to, safe chemical or bio-remediation techiques that dispose of residual fuel and other petroleum products. Note that some listed ships (and/or components of listed ships) may be subject to a "hold" or "not available" status due to commitments for sales, loans, and donations which were made prior to procurement actions associated with this PRDA announcement. Offerors may respond to one or both parts (i.e., defueling and/or tank cleaning) for any or all of the obsolete vessels listed on Attachment A. Upon award, offerors will be required to identify the types of petroleum products, total quantity of the product, chemical analysis of the product, and the proposed methods of removal for the petroleum products from the vessel and their subsequent transportation to a disposal or recycling facility. MARAD anticipates that the costs of this project will be partially offset by the resale value of the fuel or petroleum product. Opportunities for Fleet Site Visits MARAD has established two periods, January 27-29, 2003 and May 19-21, 2003, for interested parties to visit the JRRF and view the ships listed in Attachment A. MARAD requests those interested in visiting the JRRF contact the point of contact (POC) not later than Friday, January 10, 2003 to register for the January 27-29 fleet site visit and not later than Friday, May 2, 2003 to register for the May 19-21 fleet sit visit. The POC will request information regarding the identity of the visitors and information regarding the company/organization the visitor represents, and assign a time for the visit. The JRRF POC is Mr. Mike Bagley (757) 887-3233 Ext. 0, e-mail sharon.nesbit@marad.dot.gov. Criteria for Evaluating/Selecting Proposals: Proposals in response to this PRDA must address, at a minimum, the following: ?Y Innovative technical/management approaches for the environmentally safe and economically feasible defueling and/or tank cleaning of the vessels identified in Attachment A ?Y Methodology for identifying the types, total quantity, chemical analysis, as well as the removal and disposal of the petroleum products ?Y Production throughput/capacity with schedule and funding/cost relationships ?Y Offerors' requisite and relevant experience with fuel removal and/or tank cleaning on obsolete vessels ?Y Funding requirements associated with the proposed approach In evaluating the offerors' submissions, the Government will consider the following criteria, listed in relative order of importance: ?Y Feasibility and likelihood of success of technical/management approach for the removal/disposal of petroleum products and/or tank cleaning of the vessels identified in Attachment A and the risks associated with the proposed approach ?Y Economic feasibility of the proposed approach(es) including schedule/cost assessments ?Y Type and sufficiency of proposed methodology for identification and chemical analysis of petroleum products ?Y Type and sufficiency of proposed removal/disposal of petroleum products and compliance with applicable laws ?Y Depth, relevance and currency of requisite experience with the removal/disposal of fuel/petroleum products and/or tank cleaning of obsolete vessels ?Y Realism and reasonableness of proposed funding requirements/costs when compared to the proposed technical/management approach(es) In selecting proposed solution(s), the Government will evaluate the overall best value to the Government, considering innovative technical solution(s) meeting the above listed minimum criteria at a reasonable price. The PRDA process permits the Government to evaluate each proposal on its own merit and potentially negotiate the implementation of a Pilot Program(s) for proof of concept/methodology, as well as to provide justification for budgetary purposes to support a proposed program. Unlike procedures associated with unsolicited proposals, submissions made under the PRDA will not be advertised and are considered confidential. Based on the evaluation results and budgetary constraints, the Government may choose to select none, part of, or all of the proposal(s) to implement the innovative solutions offered. The Government has the right to select or refuse any or all of the offers. Instructions for the Preparation of Proposals: To be given evaluation consideration, submissions in response to this PRDA must conform to the following standards: 1. Technical/production/management solutions, inclusive of the listing below, shall not exceed 25 typewritten pages, single sided, single spaced, Arial, 12 pitch: ?Y Production throughput/capacity ?Y Environmentally safe considerations ?Y Petroleum product abatement considerations ?Y Requisite experience 2. Funding/pricing requirements must be proposed in sufficient detail to show all anticipated costs associated with the removal/disposal of fuel and petroleum products, and/or tank cleaning of the vessel(s). Pricing information must be detailed enough to permit the Government to make a determination of cost realism and reasonableness when assessed against the proposed approach(es). Offerors must state how long their proposed prices and costs are valid for. Submission of pricing information shall not exceed 3 typewritten pages, single sided, single-spaced, Arial, 12 pitch. Individual offeror??s may submit multiple proposals. Each proposal must be separable and conform to the above criteria and instructions. Instructions for the Submission of Proposals: Initial responses to this PRDA must be submitted not later than 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the last day of each of the response periods listed below and addressed to: U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration Office of Acquisition, MAR-380 400 Seventh Street S.W., Room 7310 Washington DC 20590 Attn: Mr. Michael Delaney Offerors must submit eight (8) complete copies for each proposed approach, inclusive of technical/production/management and funding/pricing proposals. Alternatively, offerors may submit their proposals electronically. Electronic submissions must be submitted to the following e-mail address: Michael.Delaney@marad.dot.gov and contain the following subject line ??PRDA for Defueling/Tank Cleaning ?V Proposal Submission??. Any revisions to previously submitted proposals must be clearly identified as such. (Note that all electronic offers must be compatible with Microsoft Office 1997, North American version.
