This sealed-bid procurement encompasses soil and groundwater remediation work including installation and removal of approximately 300 linear feet of temporary 6-foot steel chain-link fencing, demolition and disposal of a shed, sawcutting and recycling of approximately 25 tons of Portland cement concrete, excavation and disposal of approximately 2,500 tons of contaminated soil at a licensed Type II facility, management and disposal of approximately 50,000 gallons of non-hazardous impacted groundwater, and placement and compaction of approximately 2,500 tons of MDOT Class II sand fill and 250 tons of MDOT 21AA aggregate surfacing. The project requires contractors to implement comprehensive environmental controls including perimeter air monitoring using photoionization detection, Miss Dig utility location notification, maintenance of proper excavation side slopes, daily backfill operations, and soil erosion and sedimentation control measures, with all work to be completed within a 90-calendar-day contract term from the notice to proceed. Bidders must have successfully completed at least three similar remediation projects and submit experience modification ratings, proposed project superintendent information, project references, and a list of nominated subcontractors following bid opening.
