The statement of work (SOW) outlines the tasks and responsibilities for the manufacture and provision of groundwater treatment system (GTP) components for a site in Agra, Kansas, under the oversight of Argonne National Laboratory on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This project addresses groundwater contamination, specifically targeting volatile organic compounds like carbon tetrachloride, as per the Corrective Action Plan established in 2024. The scope includes the design, manufacture, and delivery of various components necessary for an operational GTP, housed within a treatment building. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is tasked with drafting shop drawings, manufacturing the system, and conducting proof testing prior to delivery. Additional responsibilities include providing startup assistance and preparing an operation and maintenance manual. Essential tasks involve compliance with industry standards and coordination with various contractors for installation and electrical works. The project seeks a lump sum pricing model for the comprehensive completion of the GTP, ensuring all construction adheres to specified safety regulations and engineering guidelines. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to remediating contaminated water resources and ensuring public health and environmental safety.

The document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by Argonne National Laboratory, managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC, seeking proposals for an OEM-treatment unit.
