About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document for Request for Proposal #190000001914 issued by Lauber BDW Site in coordination with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). The project involves brownfield remediation services including excavation, groundwater sampling, soil analysis, and residential well sampling. Work is to commence upon contractor receipt of a purchase order, with completion required by June 30, 2019. The contractor is responsible for sampling monitor wells using low flow technique, with EGLE OSC personnel handling sample transportation to the laboratory. Excavation will continue until all contamination is removed, conditions become unsafe, or the EGLE OSC determines cessation. The contractor should assume collection of eight vertical profile groundwater samples total from two 75-foot borings. Disposal of excavated materials is permitted at seven specified landfills: Ottawa County Farms Landfill, Autumn Hills Recycling & Disposal Facility, Osceola County Waste Systems Inc., Central Sanitary Landfill, Woodland Meadows Recycling & Disposal Facility Inc., Pitsch Sanitary Landfill, South Kent County Landfill, and Muskegon County Solid Waste Facility.

Prevailing wages are not required as the project is not funded with federal dollars. Soil auger cuttings will be drummed only if the EGLE OSC deems necessary based on PID readings. Residential wells are to be sampled at the tap without connection to water softeners. The contractor will not be responsible for sampling the five existing monitoring wells. Groundwater is expected to flow in a southeastern direction, and the contractor will not pursue groundwater contamination plumes beyond the initial site boundaries. Excavation may extend into surrounding dirt two tracks only as determined by the EGLE OSC.

Question 5: If groundwater contamination is encountered, will we “chase the plume”?

Answer: No.

Question 6: How deep with the excavation extend?

Answer: The excavation will extend down until all contamination has been removed or until it is not safe to dig anymore, or until the EGLE OSC determines to stop.

Question 7: Will excavation extend into the dirt two track around the site?

Answer: If need be, as determined by the EGEL OSC.

Question 8: Will prevailing wages be paid by the Contractor?

Answer: No. Prevailing wages would only be paid if this project was being funded in whole, or in part, with federal funds.

Question 10: How will residential wells be sampled?

Answer: At the tap (not hooked up to a water softener).

Question 11: Will the 5 monitoring wells be sampled? Assuming the answer is yes, should both the vertical profile samples (from the two 75-foot borings) and the monitoring wells be low flowed?

Answer: Sampling of the 5 monitoring wells will not be the responsibility of the Contractor.

Question 12: Can we assume a number of vertical profile groundwater samples for the two 75-foot borings, like 4 each for a total of 8?

Answer: Yes, a total of 8.
