1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1.1. Purpose
The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), Division of Land Restoration (DLR) Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) is soliciting bids to establish an open-ended contract for the 1) groundwater and vapor environmental sampling program: services and reporting; 2) remediation system operation and maintenance; & 3) planned, unplanned, and emergency remediation system repairs of the Vienna Perchloroethylene (PCE) Superfund site and groundwater remediation system in Vienna, West Virginia. The remediation system is comprised of two active air sparge/soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) systems, a provisionally shut-down groundwater hydraulic control system (extraction well), and an air sparge treatment system on standby. System performance will be evaluated by the periodic collection of contaminant concentrations from a network of soil vapor monitoring points and groundwater monitoring wells.
The equipment associated with the remediation system will require maintenance and upkeep on a predetermined schedule and as needed. Critical equipment/parts failures will be repaired by the Vendor, or sub-contractor, as an emergency repair and on an as-needed basis pending approval by WVDEP. Vendor will be responsible for communicating any issues regarding the operation of the system and performing pre-approved repairs. Human Machine Interface (HMI) software and hardware has been installed in each of the remaining Treatment Units (TU-1, TU-2, and TU-3) to further assist with the maintenance and daily tracking of system performance and will need to be maintained and/or repaired by the Vendor according to current specifications. Maintenance of the HMI pertains to the current software and hardware configurations only. Should the HMI system software and/or hardware be upgraded during the effective period of this Contract, said upgrade and all future maintenance of the system will be conducted through a separate contract mechanism and will be no longer required as per this Contract.
The Vendor will also be notified in writing should maintenance of existing HMI software and hardware no longer be required by this Contract.
A comprehensive description of the site, including past and present remedial activities, as well as figures and analytical data can be found in the most recent five-year review completed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA). Please see Attachment 1, “Third Five-Year Review Report for Vienna
Tetrachloroethene Superfund Site, Wood County, West Virginia.”
