The project includes a $20,000 provisional allowance for contingencies and is funded through the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority and a USEPA Brownfield Cleanup Program grant. The site is classified as a Part 213 Class 3 Site with residual soil impacts exceeding regulatory standards, indicating potential complexity and technical challenges. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation. The project scope involves excavation boundaries at the inside edge of existing sidewalks, with potential use of sheet piling for sidewalk and road protection. Bidders can access project documents through the SIGMA Michigan government website, with the project managed by Beth Vens from MDEQ-RRD and Weston Solutions of Michigan, Inc. serving as the PSC/Agency contact. While a precise budget range is not specified, the project involves significant environmental remediation work with multiple line items and a contingency allowance.
