About this file
This document is a Justification for Fair Opportunity Exception for a sole-source task order awarded to TECHLAW, INC. for technical oversight services at the Laboratory for Energy-Related Health Research (LEHR) Superfund Site in Davis, California. The task order, valued at $551,775.32, will cover the period from March 14, 2025 to March 13, 2028, and is being issued under the EPA Remedial Action Framework Environmental Services and Operations (ESO) contract.
The justification details TECHLAW's unique qualifications for continuing technical assistance, including their deep institutional knowledge of the site's remediation history, extensive document review, and expertise in groundwater monitoring and environmental investigations. The site, a 15-acre area with historical low-level radiation studies, requires ongoing oversight of cleanup activities for both the Department of Energy and University of California-Davis areas. The document emphasizes that a new contractor would require approximately 12 months to become sufficiently familiar with the site's complex history, making TECHLAW the most efficient and cost-effective option for continued technical support.
