About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center is soliciting soil boring advancement support services for a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment at the former Frog, Switch & Manufacturing Company located at 600 East High Street in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This procurement supports the EPA's Targeted Brownfields Assessments program and requires a Pennsylvania certified/licensed driller to advance approximately 23 soil borings with 2-inch cores to depths of 15 feet or 10 feet below the water table through various ground surfaces including bare soil, asphalt, concrete slabs, and flooring. Contractors must demonstrate river/water drilling experience through a two-page technical proposal, provide proof of certification, submit personnel resumes, and include at least two relevant project references from the past two years. The evaluation criteria prioritize experience, past performance, and technical capabilities first, followed by schedule considerations, and finally price. Quotes must be submitted via email to Karen.Marino@dot.gov by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on July 29, 2025, with no telephone requests accepted.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 541330 with a size standard of $47 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The government intends to award a single firm fixed-price purchase order with six Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), including one base CLIN for drilling services and five additional CLINs for potential extra sampling days.
