The slides that will be used are also provided with Amendment 0001 Construction of a new Energetic Waste Incinerator/ Contaminated Waste Processor (EWI/CWP) at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) in Radford, Virginia. 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. The Assistant Secretary of the Army issued a Memorandum for Open Burning (OB) of Certain Waste Material dated 26 November 2019. The memo provides Army policy concerning the use of OB and requires that a new contained technology should be in place and operational no later than 01 October 2026. The construction of the new EWI/CWP facility addressed by this plan will meet this requirement. The new EWI/CWP will be able to process Energetic Waste classified as 1.1 explosives on-site. The EWI/CWP will process all of the production wastes and a minimum of 95 percent of wastes currently treated at the open-burning grounds (OBG). 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. The EWI/CWP 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.

W91236-20-R-4000 ENERGETIC WASTE INCINERATOR/ CONTAMINATED WASTE PROCESSOR (EWI/CWP) AT RADFORD ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT (RFAAP), RADFORD, VIRGINIA This is a pre-solicitation notice. This is NOT a solicitation. Do NOT submit proposals or questions in response to this notice. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Norfolk District intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Construction of a new Energetic Waste Incinerator/ Contaminated Waste Processor (EWI/CWP) at Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP). This procurement will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. The requirement will be solicited as unrestricted full and open competition. It will be solicited as a design-build project utilizing two-phase design-build procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101 and 36.301. The applicable NAICS code is 236210 - Institutional Building Construction with a Business Standard of $39.5M. The Government intends to award a Design-Build (DB) firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract. The magnitude of construction is between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000, in accordance with DFARS 236.204 - Disclosure of the magnitude of construction projects. Project Description: RFAAP is a Government-owned, Contractor-operated (GOCO) energetic materials manufacturing facility located in Radford, Virginia, established in 1941. RFAAP is the principal domestic source of propellants for small, medium, and large caliber ammunition. RFAAP is the only producer of nitrocellulose (NC) (a base component required in the manufacture of ammunition and missile propellants) within the National Technology and Industrial Base. The energetic nature of the NC produced at RFAAP requires a higher degree of safety across all systems than is typically found in DoD installations. Since RFAAP is the only producer of NC within the National Technology and Industrial Base, the production of NC at RFAAP is held to higher production standards than those found at other DoD installations. 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. The Assistant Secretary of the Army issued a Memorandum for Open Burning (OB) of Certain Waste Material dated 26 November 2019. The memo provides Army policy concerning the use of OB and requires that a new contained technology should be in place and operational no later than 01 October 2026. The construction of the new EWI/CWP facility addressed by this plan will meet this requirement. Estimated completion date is 710 calendar days from notice to proceed. Contractors will be required to submit bid bonds documents prior to award. The Government intends to award a firm fixed priced contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the terms of the RFP notice, is determined fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government as determined through a Best Value Continuum Trade-off source selection process. The contracting officer anticipates that the solicitation will include the following evaluation factors: Phase One: Factor 1 – Management Approach Factor 2 – Past Performance Phase Two: Factor 3 – Technical Approach Factor 4 – Small Business Participation Plan Factor 5 – Price Factor 1 will be evaluated on acceptable/unacceptable basis. If an offeror is rated unacceptable for Factor 1, then they will not be considered for Phase Two. The relative order of importance of evaluation factors is 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 RFP and accompanying documents will be issued electronically and will be uploaded to beta.sam.gov on or about September 24, 2020. Telephone calls or written requests for the RFP package will NOT be accepted. Prospective offerors are responsible for monitoring beta.sam.gov to respond to the solicitation and any amendments or other information regarding this acquisition.

THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO USE RESPONSES TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT TO MAKE APPROPRIATE ACQUISITION DECISIONS FOR THE PROJECT. NO AWARD WILL BE MADE FROM THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Norfolk District is conducting Market Research to identify potential Sources for construction of the facilities identified below and receive industry feedback on the benefits, disadvantages, and risk associated with completing the effort as a single contracting action or completing as individual, distinctive, construction efforts. The Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) is a U.S. Army-owned facility that specializes in the production of military grade energetics. The manufacturing operations at the RFAAP generate Energetic Waste (EW) and Energetic Contaminated Waste (ECW). Due to the safety hazards associated with over the road transportation to a disposal facility, on-site disposal is preferred. 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. This project will replace the current aged EWI facility, relocate the waste treatment and decontamination activities into one centralized facility, and reduce the amount of open burning conducted at RFAAP with an efficient, emission controlled treatment system. The new EWI/CWP will process all of the production wastes and a minimum of 95 percent of the wastes currently treated at the OBG, plus an additional 50 percent for future production increases. The appropriate Northern American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 236210 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the Small Business Size Standard is $39,500,000. In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of construction for this project is between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000. SEE ATTACHED NOTICE FOR FURTHER DETAILS
