4235--NEW: Soil Remediation Service B53

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 seeks soil remediation services at the Amarillo VA Medical Center, with proposals due May 25, 2026. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, foreclosing competition outside that pool.

Place of performance is Building 53 at the Amarillo VA Medical Center, 6010 W. Amarillo Boulevard, Amarillo, Texas 79106. The scope addresses alkali salt contamination from approximately 1,000 gallons of CHEM-AQUA 51709 (chilled water treatment chemical) released January 28, 2026 from a frozen line serving a rooftop HVAC unit. The affected area is approximately 1,900 square feet near the building's main entrance serving the rehab and prosthetics service.

The contractor must conduct site assessment and sampling to determine contamination extent, perform excavation with limits driven by field screening and confirmation sampling per Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements, and restore all disturbed grounds to existing conditions including topsoil, sod, irrigation, pavement, sidewalk, grading, drainage, and landscaping. The contractor may pursue direct load-out or on-site treatment such as stabilization if TCEQ-compliant. Work must be completed within 45 days of start date. The contractor is responsible for utility location, developing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan compliant with OSHA standards, submitting daily progress reports with photos, and coordinating with the Contracting Officer regarding hospital access restrictions. All materials must be asbestos-free.

Evaluation criteria are Technical Capability, Price (all-inclusive Firm Fixed Unit Price), and Past Performance, with award to the technically acceptable SDVOSB offeror offering best value. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for May 7, 2026 at 9:00 AM.
