IT IS NOT A SOLICITATION, NOR DOES IT GUARANTEE A SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED. The purpose of this Sources Sought Announcement is to gain knowledge of potential business firms that have the technical capabilities and capacity required of the government. Responses to this Sources Sought Announcement will be used by the Government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. Please note: REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. Any information submitted in response to this Sources Sought Announcement is strictly voluntary. The Government will neither award a contract solely based on this notice, nor pay for any information submitted by respondents. Failing to provide a response to this announcement will not prohibit/exclude an interested vendor from participating in a future solicitation. Background/Overview: The NOAA Fisheries Ted Stevens Research Institute (AFSC/ABL/TSMRI), located at Lena Point in Juneau, Alaska, has procured an ultra-violet (UV) disinfection system that will treat combined waste sea water from laboratory aquariums, experiment tanks and the building’s heating system. The waste sea water is discharged to coastal waters via a marine outfall in Favorite Channel. The discharge of wastewater from this outfall is regulated by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). ADEC has issued an Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permit for the outfall (permit number AK0053236). The permit establishes allowable limits for wastewater parameters including flow, Fecal coliform (FC) bacteria, Enterococci bacteria (EB), pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), temperature, and ammonia nitrogen. The UV disinfection system is required in order to meet the Fecal coliform and Enterococci bacteria limits stipulated in the permit. This purchase is to buy flow sensors and converters for the new UV disinfection system in accordance with the system design approved by ADEC.

The Alaska Fisheries Science Center Auke Bay Lab requires the FTI Flow Technology brand Flow Sensors and Signal Converters in order to build and incorporate into their ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system that will treat combined waste sea water from laboratory aquariums, experiment tanks and the building’s heating system. The UV disinfection system is a requirement for discharging waste sea water from the Auke Bay Lab and without the sensors and signal converters, the system would not operate. Furthermore, the NOAA Fisheries would be out of compliance with the State of Alaska and would not meet the requirements as listed in the Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permit. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) issued an Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permit for the outfall, where ADEC suggested and approved the Flow Sensors and Signal Converters as part of the system. Any deviations to the system will require another design review and approval by ADEC, which will delay the construction of the UV disinfection system.
