EPA Brownfield Grant Application and Implementation Assistance
Oswego County Community Development, Tourism & Planning (OCCDTP) is seeking a qualified environmental consulting or planning firm to assist with securing and implementing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfield Grant applications. The primary objectives include obtaining EPA and potentially other federal or state grants for assessment, cleanup, and redevelopment of brownfield properties in Oswego County. The initial focus is on securing an EPA assessment grant for the annual Brownfields Grant Competition, with grant applications anticipated to be due in mid-November 2025. Proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 11, 2025, with the contract expected to commence on November 1, 2025, and terminate on December 31, 2029, with a potential one-year extension option. The evaluation criteria will use a 100-point scoring system: 40 points for Experience and Capabilities, 30 points for Management Outline and Project Approach, 10 points for Business/Organization, and 20 points for Cost. Proposers must submit a detailed 10-page proposal demonstrating their firm's qualifications, project approach, experience with EPA brownfield grants, and a proposed fee schedule.
The procurement follows federal procurement standards (CFR 200.317-326) for architectural and engineering services, with price not being the primary selection factor. The county specifically encourages submissions from minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises. Out-of-state firms will be considered if they demonstrate strong experience and can compete with in-state firms. While the specific budget is not disclosed, the contract will not compensate for grant writing, but the selected consultant will receive compensation for implementation if grants are secured. The county has already identified target brownfield sites and anticipates granting one contract to a firm capable of writing site eligibility requests and working directly with landowners. The county reserves the right to terminate the agreement with 60 days' notice. Proposers must demonstrate expertise in environmental assessment, remedial planning, community outreach, and grant implementation, with a focus on EPA brownfield grant applications and related environmental planning components.
