NO REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE MADE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND/OR ANY FOLLOW-UP REQUESTS.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking interested businesses to thoroughly review the draft request for proposals (RFP) and provide comments, questions, suggested changes, and feedback by 5:00 PM ET on Friday, February 12, 2016.



EPA does not anticipate posting responses to any comments, questions, suggested changes, and/or feedback received; however, all input may be considered in developing the final RFP.



The Remediation Environmental Services (RES) contracts are one of three contract suites that comprise EPA's Superfund Remedial Acquisition Framework (RAF). The other two suites consist of the following:



- Design and Engineering Services (DES) (SOL-HQ-14-00022) contractors will perform professional services of a scientific, architecture and engineering nature for remedial investigations, feasibility studies; remedial designs; and general technical assistance; and

- Environmental Services and Operations (ESO) (SOL-R1-14-00003) contracts will perform technical oversight of the environmental remediation work being financed and performed by another Federal Agency, State, Tribe, or potentially responsible parties, as well as EPA-lead remedy operations (e.g. groundwater restoration and source treatment activities).



In order for your comments to be reviewed and considered for incorporation into the final RFP, responses must be received by 5:00 PM ET on Friday, February 12, 2016. Please make your comments and justification for your comments as comprehensive and complete as possible. EPA cannot guarantee that any comments received after this date will be reviewed and considered for incorporation into the final RFP.



Thank you for your interest and participation in the RES contract suite of the RAF.
