This document is a Project Description prepared by the New Mexico Environment Department for a state contract opportunity involving environmental remediation and site assessment services. The project focuses on the characterization and remediation of contaminated sites under the New Mexico Environment Department's oversight, with work potentially spanning multiple fiscal years. The scope includes Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, remedial action planning, and implementation of remediation activities at designated properties. The contract will operate on a task order basis, allowing for flexibility in project execution and phased implementation. Specific response deadlines, bid opening dates, site visit schedules, and bidders' conferences are established to ensure qualified contractor participation. The contract term extends for an initial period with potential renewal options to accommodate ongoing environmental remediation needs across multiple state-owned or state-managed properties.

The pricing structure will be established through a competitive bidding process with rates proposed on a unit cost, hourly rate, or per-task basis depending on the specific services rendered. The contract may include provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE) or small business set-asides to promote diversity among contractors. Funding for this contract is sourced from the New Mexico Environment Department's budget allocation, with potential supplementation from federal environmental remediation grants or state appropriations. The incumbent contractor, if applicable, may be considered for continuation based on performance history and competitive evaluation. This contract represents the state's commitment to addressing environmental contamination and protecting public health and natural resources through systematic site assessment and remediation activities.
