A&E Services, MCN Campus, Ground Water Remediation -Yankton, SD

The State of South Dakota, specifically the Office of the State Engineer and Human Services Center Facilities in Yankton County, is seeking professional engineering services for the MCN Campus Ground Water Remediation project (OSE# H1324--02X). The procurement involves a comprehensive study and potential remediation of ground water issues at the Human Services Center, where water is penetrating basement sump pump basins and creating gaseous odors. Key project deliverables include an initial conditions assessment, ground water delineation, identification of potential remediation solutions, and subsequent design, bidding, and construction administration services. Firms must submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) electronically by 3:00 PM CT on September 13, 2023, to both Todd Baack at the Office of the State Engineer and Mike Magorian at Human Services Center Facilities. Evaluation criteria will likely include specialized expertise, available resources, past performance, familiarity with the project locale, and proposed management techniques. The SOI is limited to 25 pages, and interested firms are encouraged to contact Todd Baack for additional project information or Mike Magorian to schedule a site visit.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears open to professional engineering firms with relevant experience in ground water remediation and complex institutional facility projects. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the provided materials. The project will initially focus on a study to determine existing conditions and potential remediation approaches, which will subsequently be used to establish a project budget. Although a specific award value was not disclosed, the complexity of ground water remediation and the involvement of a state-level human services facility suggest a potentially significant project scope. Interested firms should prepare comprehensive statements of interest that demonstrate technical capability, past performance in similar environmental and institutional settings, and a clear understanding of the unique challenges associated with ground water remediation in a healthcare facility context.
