Lidgerwood 1Stop Tank Removal and Assessment

The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) is soliciting bids for a comprehensive environmental remediation project in Lidgerwood, Sargent County, focusing on the former Lidgerwood One Stop gas station located at 117 Wiley Avenue South. The procurement involves removing two underground storage tanks, conducting a detailed Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, and performing a comprehensive environmental investigation. Specific project requirements include preparing a Sampling and Analysis Plan, conducting five soil borings, installing three temporary groundwater monitoring wells, completing a groundwater survey, and collecting and analyzing soil and groundwater samples. Bidders must possess at least five years of experience in underground storage tank removal and environmental assessment, provide three project examples, and be registered in the federal System for Award Management (SAM). The bid response deadline is August 4, 2025, with the contract period spanning from August 15, 2025, to September 30, 2025. The successful contractor will be required to prepare a comprehensive report and conduct a risk-based analysis using the North Dakota Risk-Based Corrective Action (NDRBCA) procedure, with the ultimate goal of restoring the contaminated site to a safe condition.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be awarded to the most responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, with a firm-fixed pricing structure during the initial contract period. While no specific budget range is detailed, the project is funded through the state's Brownfields Response Program, which suggests potential federal grant support. The contractor cannot have outstanding notices of violation and must comply with state environmental regulations. Potential bidders should note that the contract includes provisions for potential price adjustments if renewal options are considered. The project involves comprehensive environmental assessment protocols, including detailed soil and groundwater sampling, laboratory analysis, and risk evaluation using the NDRBCA technical guidance and computational tools. Contractors will be expected to work closely with the NDDEQ and adhere to strict quality assurance and quality control standards outlined in the Brownfields Quality Assurance Project Plan.
