EWI/CWP PROJECT OVERVIEW

RFAAP is a Government-owned, Contractor-operated (GOCO) energetic materials manufacturing facility located in Radford, Virginia, established in 1941. RFAAP is the only producer of nitrocellulose (NC) in the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB), and the only domestic source of NC propellant used in the manufacture of ammunition and missiles. The manufacturing processes from production of NC propellants for small, medium, large caliber and MK90 ammunition generates multiple types of energetic waste that need to be treated on-site.

The construction of the new EWI/CWP will replace the current aged EWI facilities, relocate the waste treatment and decontamination activities into one centralized facility, and reduce/eliminate open burning conducted at RFAAP. The new EWI/CWP will treat at a minimum, 95 percent of all hazardous energetic waste streams from RFAAP, in an efficient, emission controlled thermal treatment facility that is compliant with the plant operating permits and Army policy.

(CONTINUED)

There are two types of wastes, Energetic Waste (EW) and Energetic Contaminated Waste (ECW).

EW generated at RFAAP comes from multiple sources, such as process waste (shavings), rejected material, pit waste, and other direct process sources. EW typically meets one of several hazardous waste classifications under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Currently, all EW generated at the RFAAP is either destroyed in one of two Energetic Waste Incinerators (EWIs) or at the open-burning grounds (OBG). Both of these facilities are permitted under the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) hazardous waste program.

ECW is generated from material handling sources, such as pallets, filters, hoses, pipes, gloves, etc., that are slightly contaminated with energetics, but are not classified as a RCRA hazardous waste. ECW can be either combustible solid waste (fiber drums, plastic drums, and plastic bags) or non-combustible contaminated metals.

(CONTINUED)

Major systems include the Grinder for EW (nitrocellulose), a Contaminated Waste Feed System for combustible ECW, two Rotary Kiln Incinerators for EW and ECW (slurry and solids) with Air Pollution Control systems, a Contained Burn Chamber for non-grindable EW and combustible ECW, and a Car Bottom Decontamination Oven for non-combustible ECW (flue gas exhausts through an afterburner into one of the two Air Pollution Control systems). The major systems are supported by the operations control center, motor control center, and maintenance and storage.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Phase One Factor 1 – Management Approach Factor 2 – Specialized Experience/Past Performance

Phase Two Factor 3 – Technical Approach Factor 4 – Small Business Participation Plan Factor 5 – Price

Offerors should carefully read the solicitation requirements for each factor and address all elements as best as they can within the limitations provided in the solicitation.

Offerors should not assume that they will be contacted or allowed opportunity to provide additional information or clarifications to their proposals. Each initial proposal should be submitted on the most favorable terms based on the solicitation requirements.

Factor 2 and 3 are of approximately equal importance to each other;

Factor 4 is less important than either Factor 2 or 3.

When the proposal is evaluated as a whole (Factors 2-5), the non-price factors (2, 3, and 4), when combined are approximately equal to price (Factor 5).

The Government will select the source whose proposal offers the best value to the Government in accordance with the evaluation criteria and basis of award stated in the solicitation.
