HSAAP requires acquisition of the design and construction of a solution to replace/reduce the current bulk explosive waste processed at open burning grounds (OBG) with a new EDC Facility that will thermally treat the hazardous explosive waste (HEW) streams from HSAAP in an emission controlled thermal treatment facilities. New facility satisfying the requirements should be in place and operational no later than 01 October 2026. The design and construction will utilize the Dynasafe - Static Detonation Chamber (SDC) and Air Pollution Control System (APC) (the Army’s chosen technology as documented and approved under J&A# CENAO-CT-20-013 on 1 September 2020)which will be procured on the sole source basis by the selected prime contractor. The new EDC Facility, will satisfy the Government’s requirements to safely and effectively treat the bulk explosive waste at HSAAP and meet the Army’s mission for Government installations to move away from the current open burning explosive waste treatment process and begin utilizing proven environmental treatment technology alternatives. Estimated construction duration is 1,043 calendar days from notice to proceed. Contractors will be required to submit bid bonds documents prior to award.
