The document is a City Commission Memorandum from the City of Sanford, Florida, dated September 8, 2025, concerning a Brownfield Remediation project for the Fulton Street Complex. The request is to approve the award of RFQ 24/25-03 to Action Environmental, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, for environmental cleanup of the former Rosemont Property. The site, a nearly three-acre former Sanford Gasification Plant developed in 1917, is contaminated with metals, benzo(a)pyrene, ammonia, and other hazardous substances. The project will involve cleanup activities and preparation of a Community Involvement Plan.

The project is fully funded by a US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Clean Up Grant through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with a total grant amount not to exceed $604,310. The funds will be used to clean up the former chemical company site located at West State Road 46. The procurement was competitively bid, with three bids received: Cathcart Construction, DPS, and Action Environmental. The project funds are available in a stormwater capital account, and the City Attorney has reviewed the item with no legal objections. The City Commission is being asked to approve the award to Action Environmental as the most favorable bidder for the remediation project.
