The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is seeking support for the Architect- Engineering Services for Remedial Design class of contracts for the Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) to support contaminated sediment activities taken under the Great Lakes Legacy Reauthorization Act (GLLRA) of 2008.

EPA is looking for firms that can perform all of the SOW requirements or portions of the SOW. The contractor shall be prepared to provide scientific/technical support for EPA activities in furtherance of the agency's primary mission: the protection of human health and the environment. These responsibilities are described in the SOW.

There is no solicitation at this time. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. Additional responses to this announcement will not be reviewed.

The resultant two contracts (possibly 1 Full & Open & 1 Small Business Set-Aside) are anticipated to be an ID/IQ type contract, with 36-month base period and a two 12-month option periods. The estimated maximum potential value of the contract is $25 million over the life of each contract. This procurement will be an FAR Part 36, Brooks Act procurement.
