This is a Request for Bid (RFB) document issued by the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources for soil and groundwater sampling services at Mount Washington State Park as part of a summit environmental assessment. The project requires environmental sampling and analysis to assess soil and groundwater conditions at the Mount Washington summit location. The RFB solicits bids from qualified environmental contractors capable of conducting field sampling, laboratory analysis, and reporting on environmental conditions. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by the specified due date, with award anticipated following evaluation of submissions. The contract will be for a defined project term focused on completing the environmental assessment work, with potential for task orders or modifications as field conditions warrant. Site familiarization and pre-bid meetings may be available for interested bidders to review the project scope and ask clarifying questions.

The pricing structure requires bidders to submit detailed cost proposals for all sampling, analysis, and reporting services on an itemized basis, allowing the state to evaluate cost-effectiveness and qualifications competitively. The project is funded through the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources operating budget or environmental assessment appropriations. As a state-funded environmental initiative, there may be preferences for New Hampshire-based contractors or small businesses, though specific set-asides should be verified in the full RFB document. The work is essential for regulatory compliance and park management decisions related to environmental conditions at this high-elevation site, and bidders should possess experience with alpine environmental sampling protocols and environmental reporting standards.
