The US Army Corps of Engineers, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) requires services of a contractor to operate specialized dissolved air flotation (DAF) equipment during a field demonstration related to the Harmful Algal Bloom Interception, Treatment, and Transformation System (HABITATS) program. The demonstration is estimated to last approximately two weeks and to occur in July 2023 in Lewisville, Texas. The purpose of the demonstration being performed by the government is to test all of the HABITATS equipment and analyze results in order to maximize performance and provide data for economic scalability analysis. Ecologix Environmental Systems LLC is the manufacturer of the specialized DAF equipment, which is just one of many components of the overall HABITATS system and is therefore the only available source for the required services. Specifically, Ecologix has unique experience and proprietary capabilities relating to the control system operation of the Ecologix ITS-1500 dissolved air flotation system. Ecologix manufactured and delivered the DAF equipment for the government in FY21, and since then the government has worked to integrate it into the HABITATS equipment.
