Waste Cleanup Program Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) awarded Contract HW684 as a master indefinite delivery vehicle to GHD Services, Inc. for comprehensive waste cleanup program services. This contract provides authority to procure a broad range of environmental remediation and assessment services, including site assessments, soil and groundwater sampling, modified active gas sampling (MAGS), soil vapor extraction (SVE) system operations and maintenance, interim source removal planning and implementation, well installation and abandonment, groundwater monitoring, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) analysis, remedial action status reporting, and project management services. The vehicle is designed to support FDEP's drycleaner remediation program and general waste site cleanup activities across multiple counties throughout Florida, with services funded through state appropriations, federal grants (including Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds and CERCLA Site Screening Program cooperative agreements), and cost-reimbursement arrangements. Work is performed in accordance with FDEP Standard Operating Procedures and EPA methodologies, with compensation structured primarily on fixed unit rate bases and cost-reimbursement formats for eligible expenses.

Prime contractor GHD Services, Inc., headquartered in Tampa, Florida, serves as the sole awardee under this FDEP contract, with contract administration by the Department of Environmental Protection's Waste Cleanup Program. The contract was awarded effective December 21, 2021, with an initial completion date of December 20, 2026, and has been extended through multiple task assignments. Authorized funding has increased incrementally from the initial $850,000 to over $10.3 billion through nineteen funding increment letters issued through April 2026, reflecting the high volume of environmental remediation work across Florida's contaminated sites. Task assignments are issued on an indefinite delivery basis to authorized FDEP project managers for specific environmental cleanup projects, with individual task values ranging from under $1,000 to over $900,000, and compensation paid upon completion of deliverables and FDEP approval of work products including site assessment reports, monitoring data, and remediation documentation.
