WASHINGTON, D.C. 20241 3 0 1379 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS NO. 30199056 DEVELOPMENT FOR SUBSTITUTES FOR ASBESTOS Gentlemen: Tne U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, is requesting proposals from organizations having the capabilities to perform a research and development contract. Tne objective is to determine the- feasibility of producing a synthetic fiber from abundant low cost U.S. domestic raw materials and wastes into lengths suitable as a substitute for asbestos in cement reinforcement. The specific services required are set forth in the attached Exhibit A - Statement of Work. It is contemplated that all work including submission of the approved final report will be completed within approximately fourteen (14) months after the effective date of the contract. If your organization can complete the proposed work in more or less than fourteen (14) months without additional costs, your proposal should so indicate. It is estimated that approximately one (1) man-year of professional direct labor will be utilized for the proposed contract. It is anticipated that a cost reimbursement, level-of-effort type contract will be utilized for this proposed procurement action, although the Government reserves the right to negotiate and award whatever type of contract is determined to be most appropriate. Award may be made without discussion of proposals received. You are cautioned that your initial proposal should be based on the most favorable terms, from both a. technical and cost standpoint. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures and other presentations beyond that required to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the offeror's lack of cost consciousness. a Offerors.should be careful not to include in their technical and cost proposals, elements which are beyond the requirements of the Scope of Work contained in this Request for Proposals. v Proposals will be evaluated by a committee of Bureau of Mines personnel in accordance with the factors listed in Attachment 1 to this transmittal letter. A responsive proposal shall include two (2) separate and detachable volumes. The Technical Proposal shall be prepared in accordance with instructions in Exhibit D, including a proposed program plan, and the Cost Proposal in accordance with the instructions in Exhibit E. Your proposal shall indicate the names and telephone numbers of persons authorized to conduct negotiations for your organization. (See Exhibit G.) CAPCO JEN 0000960 of 2 If your proposal results in your organization being selected for the negotiation of a contract, the contract awarded will be a contract type which is in accord with the Federal Procurement Regulations. The Bureau of Mines proposes to use applicable Government clauses set forth in Exhibit C, and any other regulatory procurement procedures or clauses applicable to the type of contract utilized at the time of award. Proposals submitted in response to the Request for Proposals will not be returned but will be retained by the Bureau of Mines for official record purposes. Your attention is invited to the fact that the Contracting Officer is the only individual who can legally commit the Government to the expenditure of public funds. This request does not commit the Government to award a contract nor to pay any costs incurred in the submission of a proposal, or costs incurred in making necessary studies or designs for the preparation thereof, nor to procure or contract for the services or supplies. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, or to negotiate separately with any source(s) considered qualified. Offerors are advised that, pursuant to the provisions of Public Law 87-653, dated September 10, 1962, the successful contractor may be required to certify, except where the price negotiated is based on adequate price competition as determined by the Contracting Officer, or established catalog or market prices of commercial items sold in substantial quantities to the general public, or prices set by law or regulation, that the cost and pricing data which he is required to furnish is accurate, complete and current. In submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation, offerors are advised to execute Exhibit F, Representations, Certifications, and Acknowledgements, and Exhibit G, Additional Representations, Certifications, and Acknowledgements, and return one copy with the proposal. Further distribution of the disclosure statement shall be made in accordance with the instructions provided in Exhibit G. Offerors -are cautioned as follows: By signing and submitting this offer, the offeror will be deemed to have signed and agreed to the provisions of the "Certification of Nonsegregated Facilities" in this solicitation (see Exhibit F). The certification provides that the offeror does not maintain or provide for his employees, facilities which are segregated on a basis of race, color, religion, or national origin, whether such facilities are segregated by directive or on a de facto basis. The certification also provides that he will not maintain such segregated facilities. Failure of an offeror to agree to the "Certification of Nonsegregated Facilities" will render his offer nonresponsive to the terms of solicitation involving awards of contracts exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity Clause. . 0 r- $ CAPCO JEN 0000961 3 The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and its amendments have resulted in an increasing number of requests from outside the government for copies of contract proposals submitted to Federal agencies. If your proposal contains information that you believe should be withheld from such requestors, under the FOIA, on grounds that it is "trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential" ((b)(4) of the FOIA), you should identify all such information so that if your proposal is ever the subject of a FOIA request, the decision by the responsible Federal official to disclose or withhold can be made promptly. If you consider parts of your proposal withholdable under the FOIA, put the following notice on the title page: "Some parts of this document, as identified on individual pages are considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Material considered privileged or confidential on such grounds is contained on pages (specify page numbers.)" Mark each individual item you consider confidential or privileged under the FOIA with the following notice: "This data or information is considered confidential or privileged, and not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act." All information In your proposal which`is not so designated may be subject to automatic public disclosure if it is requested under the FOIA. It must be emphasized that under.the FOIA, no information is automatically exempt from public disclosure. However, no disclosures under the FOIA will be mace without a careful and exacting evaluation by the Bureau of Mines, giving due regard to the need for safeguarding material considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential. The Bureau's policy is to withhold, whenever possible, material that is genuinely privileged or confidential. Offerors are cautioned to review the requirements of the clause entitled "Federal Reports Act" in Exhibit C as to its applicability to this procurement. Your proposal, signed by an official legally authorized to bind the offeror to a contract and containing a statement to the effect that the proposal is firm for a period of not less than ninety (90) days, shall be submitted so as to reach this office before 3:30 p.m., prevailing time. *,*fiY 1 0 ^79.

Offeror's shall respond directly to these articles in this proposal. ARTICLE I - STATEMENT OF WORK Background: The United States is dependent on foreign supplies of asbestos especially flexible, short fiber chrysotile for use in asbestos cement pipe, flooring and roofing products. Of the 700,000 short tons of chrysotile imported in 1976, 484,000 tons were used in these products. The quantity being imported in the country is increasing, and coupled with increasing world consumption may lead to a critical shortage of asbestos. Natural asbestos has been identified as a hazardous air pollutant. This hazard applies not only to asbestos minerals being mined and processed, but also to the finished products. Stringent pollution controls are being promulgated that may limit or completely exclude the use of asbestos. Most of the research dealing with asbestos for the past few years has been in connection with various health aspects of the asbestos fiber. Carcinogenic effects of asbestos fiber are generally associated with fibers longer than five (5) micrometers and less than three (3) micrometers in diameter. Although research to synthesize analogs of natural long fiber asbestos has been unsuccessful, there are several inorganic fiber substitutes such as glass and Kaowool* that are available. These fibers, however, are for the most part produced for thermal insulation which constitutes only a small portion of the nation's asbestos requirements. The high tensile strength of chrysotile and crocidoiite asbestos (300,COO lb/in2; is the property that makes asbestos useful as a reinforcement for cement and plastics, and because it does not lose its strength with time it is superior to presently available glass fiber. The U-S- Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, under its subprogram to minimize mineral and metal needs, is interested in research to produce a substitute fiber from abundant lowcost domestic raw materials to replace asbestos. Objective: The objective of this contract is to determine the feasibility of. producing a synthetic fiber from abundant low cost U.S. domestic raw materials and wastes into lengths suitable for cement reinforcement, and comparing proper ties such as tensile strength and chemical durability of the synthetic fibers with those of natural asbestos. Scope of Work: During the term of performance of this contract, the contractor, as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Government, shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, furnish the level of effort specified to accomplish the work described hereunder: * Reference to a specific brand or trade name is made for identification only and endorsement by the Bureau of Mines is not implied.

The time of receipt at the Government installation i3 the time-date stamp of such installation on the proposal wrapper or other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation. e. Notwithstanding (a), (b) , and (c), of this provision, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal which makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it i3 received and cay be accepted. f. Proposals cay be withdrawn by written or telegraphic notice received at any tine prior to award. Proposals cay be withdrawn in person by an offeror or his authorized representative, provided his identity i3 cade known and he signs a receipt for the proposal prior to award. NOTE The term "telegram" includes mailgrams. t- 1 CAPCO JEN 0000967 A. The level of effort for the performance of this contract shall be______ total man-hours of direct labor. It is understood and agreed that the rate of man-hours per month may fluctuate in pursuit of the Statement of Work provided that such fluctuation does not result in the utilization of the total man-hours of effort prior to the expiration of the term thereof. B. The contractor shall develop, produce, and test asbestos substitute fibers. These fibers shall be made from low-cost abundant raw materials as well as mining or processing wastes, and be in the form of long flexible fibers suitable for reinforcing cement. Work will entail: (1) Selecting raw materials and proving the feasibility of a manufacturing technique on a laboratory scale, and (2) producing sufficient fibers for evaluation and comparison of their properties with those of natural asbestos. C. A satisfactory substitute for asbestos fiber should meet the desirable asbestos characteristics of strength, chemical inertness and economy. Fiber lengths of 1/8 to 1/4 inch will be required with tensile strengths averaging 300,000 to 500,000 Ib/in2. To eliminate health problems commonly associ ated with asbestos fiber, diameters of the substitute fibers should be larger than 5 micrometers. ARTICLE II - DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS A.
