On or about 11 May 2011, this office intends to issue a Request for Proposal for construction with other Environmental Services at the Libby Superfund Site, in and around the Libby/Troy Montana area.
This solicitation will be RESTRICTED to Small Business.
The work under this acquisition is predominantly construction with various environmental services including, but is not limited to, asbestos abatement. The anticipated contract will be required to provide construction activities and other environmental remediation/restoration services, including site characterization and assessment, to the federally funded Libby Superfund site, Montana, as defined by NAICS Code 562910.
The sites comprising the Libby superfund site include commercial, government, and residential properties that may involve the presence and potential release of Libby Amphibole asbestos (LA) into the environment. LA may be present in interior vermiculite insulation, in interior crawl spaces and basements, or in exterior contaminated soil. Remediation activities involve the removal of the LA sources, cleaning of property interiors and contents, confirmation sampling and restoration of the properties. Sites may also involve a potential for physical or hazardous risk ancillary to the LA removal. Project sites may involve the presence of infectious, biological or chemical wastes or contamination, or the presence, release or potential release of controlled substances, including petroleum and petroleum based products. Requirements involve the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) regulation and OSHA regulations in addition to State and local regulations. Sites may involve the incidental design, assembly and installation of preventive or protective systems required to protect human populations, facilities, and ecosystems from exposure to LA during the course of site remediation. Sites may involve structure demolition and the management and disposal of associated debris, hazardous or non-hazardous. The project may also involve management of remediation derived waste disposal and waste disposal areas including a mine repository and a landfill cell.
Project execution requirements include coordination of site characterization and removal activities with home owners and property owners, management of homeowner relocation, provision of security for properties with homeowner relocation, integration of contractor site characterization and removal action quality control activities with an independent A-E services contractor, the COE and USEPA, property progress tracking, EPA data base support as well as support of required field management data bases, incidental excavation design and CADD support, health and safety support inclusive of conducting and evaluating the results of personal and area air monitoring, acting as an asbestos containment competent person as well as having confined space, scaffold erection and excavation competent person capabilities, routine reporting of project progress, concerns and costs to USACE, and general project and project property management.
The Government does not plan on addressing any acid mine drainage and treatment; however, the Government may be tasked with mine closure.
