About this opportunity
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Philadelphia District has issued a Sources Sought Notice for the remediation of the former Franklin Slag (MDC) site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The project involves remediating approximately 70,000 cubic yards of recycling slag containing hazardous levels of lead and RCRA 8 metals, requiring on-site treatment with stabilization agents, laboratory testing, excavation of contaminated soils, transportation and disposal at approved landfills, and site restoration activities. Key requirements include dust and erosion controls, air monitoring, traffic control planning for road closures, monitoring well work, and eight quarters of groundwater sampling. Responses must be submitted electronically to Eric.A.Leach@usace.army.mil with the subject line "Sources Sought Franklin Slag" and are limited to five pages plus a cover page containing company information, CAGE Code, and business size status. The response deadline is 5:00 PM EST on October 10, 2025, and this notice is strictly for market research purposes under FAR Part 10 to inform procurement strategy decisions.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). The project scope encompasses a site located at the northeast corner of Castor and Delaware Avenues, with the slag stockpile covering approximately 80% of the secured area that is currently protected by chain-link fencing and an HDPE liner cap. Additional workspace includes portions of Castor and Delaware Avenues and 25 feet of adjoining Philadelphia Water Department property, indicating significant coordination requirements for road closures and utility access. The remediation timeline spans eight quarters of groundwater sampling, suggesting a multi-year project duration. No incumbent contractors, award values, or budget ranges are specified in this pre-solicitation notice, as the government emphasizes this is solely for market research and planning purposes with no commitment to contract or compensation for responses.
