PFAS Soil Washing Treatment, Eielson Air Force Base

CONTRACT INFORMATION:  This is a pre-solicitation notice for a stand-alone contract to provide a Request for Proposal (RFP) for environmental remediation services at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The initial post of this pre-solicitation notice erroneously listed the set-aside as 8(a) for this acquisition. This acquisition is a competitive Small Business Set-Aside; any qualifying small business may submit a proposal. North American Industrial Classification System code is 562910, Remediation Services, the related small business size standard is 750 employees. A solicitation will be available on this site and PIEE Solicitation on or about 1 July 2022. The Government intends to award one contract. The estimated magnitude of this contract will be between $30,000,000.00 to over $50,000,000.00.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Treat and dispose of approximately 130,000 Cubic Yards (CY) of stockpiled Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contaminated soil resulting from construction associated with eight (8) separate F-35 construction projects at Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB). Soil treatment shall be conducted on site using Soil Washing (SW).  Ultimately the contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the entire awarded volume of soil is treated to meet the target cleanup levels (TCLs, 18 AAC 75.341 Table B1, Migration to Groundwater) or disposed.  Disposal of residual soil not meeting TCLs after SW may occur at a permitted RCRA Subtitle C or D landfill with a leachate collection system or at an EPA approved Class I Underground Injection Control (UIC) facility.  SW has been demonstrated to be successful at separating the soil fractions and ensuring that the sand and gravel components achieved the TCLs.  Significant uncertainty exists regarding the ability to achieve TCLs in the finer grained soil fraction (the fines account for approximately 22% of the total soil volume), which may require disposal.  Post- treatment confirmation sampling will be required to verify compliance with applicable cleanup levels.  Treated soil will be placed at an approved location on the installation.
