Description
The U.S. Army is seeking a contractor to design and construct a modernized industrial wastewater treatment facility (Bioplant) at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) in Virginia. The facility will treat industrial wastewater generated by the manufacturing processes at RFAAP. The project involves two phases: Phase 1 (design) and Phase 2 (construction). The government plans to fully fund Phase 1, with a ROM estimate for Phase 2 to be definitized at a later date. The contractor will be responsible for conducting a pilot-scale test and providing a completed solution to the government. Key aspects of the project include:
* The facility will treat industrial wastewater containing complex chemical components, including solvents and propellant residues.
* The project requires compliance with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) regulations and the Clean Water Act.
* The contractor will need to conduct a pilot-scale test to determine the best treatment technology for the facility.
* The project involves a progressive design-build approach, with the contractor responsible for designing and constructing the facility.
* The government is seeking a contractor with experience in designing and constructing wastewater treatment facilities, particularly those with similar characteristics to the RFAAP Bioplant.
