To date, there is no known solution to recycle these canisters within the United States. This statement of work is to design, construct and deliver a recycling unit that will capture all contents of the canisters and allow for the recycling of the aluminum canisters. The recycling unit must comply with all federal (OSHA), state (WY, MT) and National Park Service (NPS) health and safety regulations. Additionally, work is to include formalized training for NPS employees to operate the unit and a limited warranty on all components. The following is a description of the proposed recycling unit:The Bear Spray canister Recycler (BSR) must be designed to collect (for re-use) the 134A freon for its intended purpose and collect the Oleoresin Capsicum (Pepper oil) for possible use as alternative fuels blending. The BSR unit must also have the capability to puncture and flatten the empty aluminum canisters. ,. The BSR unit is to be mounted on an appropriate size utility trailer with a conventional towing attachment so that it will be mobile. The (BSR) system must not release flare gases or discharge any elements into the atmosphere. The collected Freon gases and the pepper oil will be collected in suitable onboard containers. In essence, the contents of the small bear spray canisters would be segregated through a coalescing filter process allowing the recovery of each component. The (BSR) will use a closed Freon recovery system to comply with regulatory agencies that prohibit releases into the atmosphere.The (BSR) must have onboard electric powered pumps, compressor, fans, lights and all the necessary equipment to completely render the canisters recyclable.The (BSR) system must be safe for employees to operate.Line item includes all labor, materials and equipment necessary to supply the BSR to Mammoth Hot Springs, WY.Period of Performance: The unit shall be delivered FOB to Mammoth Hot Springs, WY no later than August 1st, 2010.
