- Description
- The Environmental Protection Agency intends to add an option for increased hours within each option period of the subject contract (68-D-01-077) with Pacific Environmental Services, Inc.,(PES), pursuant to 41 USC 253(c)(1): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS), and Emission Standards Division (ESD) has a requirement for services in support of ESD's program to develop national air pollution emission standards for industrial sources of air pollution. The primary purpose of this effort is for sole source contract support for standards development activities pertaining only to those industrial sources categories for which PES is currently providing support under ESD contracts. No work on new industrial sources of air pollution or other sources categories will be initiated or included under this contract. The types of standards development activities support under this contract could include the following: 10-year MACT(Maximum Achievable Control Technology) standard, urban area source standards (NEW), residual risk standards, and litigation for previously developed standards. Specifically, both the current contract and expanded capacity will provide support to the following source categories: Industrial Surface Coating Operations, Large Appliances, Leather Tanning, Miscellaneous Metal Parts, Organic Liquid Distribution, Polymers and Resins III and IV Reinforced Plastic Composites, Sewage Sludge Incineration, SOCMI Wastewater, State I Gasoline Distribution, and Vegetable Oil. PES has been providing support to ESD's standards development program since 1978 under previous contracts, for the development of national air pollution emission standards for industrial sources of air pollution. During this time period, PES has supported the development of standards covering the source categories listed above. The Agency has a substantial investment in the unique experience and knowledge that PES has developed while supporting standards development activities for these source categories. Only PES has the knowledge and "know-how" to continue with the on-going work without an extensive training and start-up period. The EPA anticipates that a total of 20,000 direct labor hours will be added to the contract. NAICS No. 541620 applies with a size standard of $5M in average annual receipts over the last three years. Interested parties who believe they are qualified to perform this effort must submit a written narrative statement of capability within 15 days of this notice to Harvey Hinton, Jr. at the above address for consideration by the Agency. Responses must include detailed technical information and other technical literature demonstrating the ability to meet these requirements. Capability statement should demonstrate the following: 1) Demonstrated relevant experience in the development of air pollution regulations including the development of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), New Source Performance Standards (NSPA), Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standards, Control Technique Guidelines (CTG), and Alternative Control Technology (ACT) documents; 2) Demonstrated relevant experience with the source categories listed above in conducting tasks used to develop air pollution standards, and in conducting related tasks such as emissions inventory and factor development, control technology evaluation, and industrial process engineering; experience in utilizing consensus building and meeting facilitation, particularly to develop environmental standards; 3) Offerors must provide resumes for proposed key personnel (no more than ten (10)) who have relevant experience and education in engineering and the environmental sciences; and 4) Demonstrated successful past performance of the offeror in contracts and subcontracts for similar work. Work which would be considered similar includes; (1) air pollution regulation development, (2) emission estimation (at both the source and national level), (3) control technology evaluation, (4)cost estimation (both for specific emission control devices and nationwide), (5) data gathering and analysis, (6) residual risk assessment and health effects estimation, (7) consensus building, meeting facilitation, negotiation techniques, and outreach activities, and (8) litigation support. Offerors must provide a list of contracts and subcontracts completed during the past three years and those currently in process. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days of this notice, the Government will proceed with the procurement of these services with Pacific Environmental Services, Inc.
