BACKGROUND: The Headquarters, Industrial Operations Command (HQ, IOC) located at Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, IL, is responsible for oversight of all activities of US Army Arsenals, Ammunition Depots (AD) and Ammunition Plants/Activities (AAP/AAC). The HQ, IOC Installation Restoration Program Office manages the IOC's Army Installation Restoration Program. Restoration Program planning, funding and execution includes the distribution of restoration technology data information to IOC installations in support of future restoration program cost avoidance. The IOC has numerous remediation source control and clean-up environmental technologies tested and applied at it's installations. However, the IOC installations in the past have not had the capability to quickly and electronically review all available IOC installation remediation technology related data and status. One distinctive attribute of environmental technologies is the continual state-of-the-art changes. The government remedial project managers (RPMs) must often sort through large volumes of related and overlapping information to evaluate alternative technologies. Technology data should not just stay at the particular installation where the pilot or bench scale test was performed, but be available for review by all IOC installations. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: Contractor shall review and identify relevant Army and Navy explosive remediation technology data, and design a web based application using Oracle as the data repository in accordance with Army Regulations AR 380-19, AR 25-1 (located at http://www.army.mil/disc4/ar25-1/25-1 all-new.html), DOD-STD 7935.1. The application shall be developed using PowerBuilder 6.0, or Visual Basic 5.0, or Visual InterDev, and web technology, linking application to the database. The database shall reside on the HQ, IOC Oracle database server, with an NT operating system. It shall be developed to electronically link and be hyper-texted to the IOC web site and the IOC environmental web site. All applications, designs and software shall be Year 2000 compliant, including the leap year 2000. The contractor shall research data sources, design and develop a web interface application, and design and fully develop a database. This effort shall result in the development of an application that will store, update and retrieve data of soil and groundwater remediation technologies related to the following contaminants from a database: Trinitrotoluene (TNT), Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), Cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX), Dinitrotoluene (DNT), Picric Acid, Nitroglycerin (NG), Ammonium Picrate (Explosive D) Posted 07/31/98 (W-SN231160).
