The Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency is requesting proposals for environmental engineering services to perform brownfield assessments and redevelopment planning across high-priority waterfront and downtown sites in Herkimer County, New York, funded by an EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant, with proposals due October 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM.
The scope encompasses four tasks: site selection for environmental characterization, community outreach, Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, and written reports documenting environmental findings and remedial planning. The contractor must prepare and obtain EPA Region 2 approval for a Quality Assurance Project Plan and Health and Safety Plan, conduct investigations in compliance with ASTM standards, and integrate assessment outcomes with economic feasibility and reuse planning across multiple sites. Required insurance includes Professional Errors and Omissions coverage of $2 million per occurrence and Commercial General Liability coverage of $1 million each occurrence.
The total contract value is $472,600 derived from the EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant. The contract term runs from anticipated execution by November 30, 2026 through September 30, 2030, though HCIDA may terminate with 60 days' written notice. Payment terms are net 45 days after invoice receipt.
Evaluation is scored on a 100-point scale: knowledge of New York State brownfields regulations and techniques (15 points), experience with brownfield site assessments including urban, wetland, and riparian sites (15 points), experience with EPA-funded brownfield assessment grants and publicly funded projects (15 points), demonstrated capability with innovative technologies such as Triad approach and GIS mapping (20 points), ability to integrate Phase I and II outcomes with economic feasibility and reuse planning (15 points), demonstrated ability to complete tasks on time and within budget (10 points), and competitive fee structure (10 points).
Written inquiries are due October 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Proposals must be submitted to John J. Piseck, Jr., Chief Executive Officer at HCIDA offices. No previous identical or substantially similar contract award is identified within the past five years.
Opportunity text
Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency (HCIDA) will utilize the EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant to revitalize severe industrial blight across strategic target areas in the County of Herkimer. Following decades of manufacturing decline, population loss, and economic disinvestment, the region is left with hundreds of aging, contaminated, and structurally compromised facilities that pose serious public health risks to its sensitive local population, including elevated rates of lead exposure, asthma, and chronic disease. To combat this, the HCIDA has identified several high-priority waterfront and downtown sites for intensive environmental evaluation and strategic reuse. The EPA has awarded the Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency a brownfields assessment grant for environmental investigations and remedial planning activities. The grant activities are separated into and will be performed in four tasks as follows: 1. Select sites for environmental characterizations; 2. Conduct community outreach; 3. Perform site assessments; and 4. Prepare written reports regarding the environmental characterizations. Business enterprises awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years: None
