Limestone Hills UXO Clearance

The Montana Department of Military Affairs (DMA) Environmental Office is seeking a contractor to provide unexploded ordnance (UXO) and munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) clearance services at the Limestone Hills Training Area near Townsend, Montana. This procurement is a comprehensive environmental response and remediation contract spanning from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2026. The solicitation requires contractors to perform environmental response action, reclamation, remedial action, and removal across multiple acres of the training area. The Request for Proposal (RFP) includes eight service line items with varying commodity codes for environmental services, encompassing quality assurance funds, initial startup and document updates, and six task elements with per-acre pricing. Prospective bidders must submit a comprehensive package of documents, including client references, contract liaison information, tax ID, insurance certifications, and a detailed cost proposal. The proposal submission period is open from April 1, 2021, to May 10, 2021, with specific requirements for technical and cost submissions. Evaluation criteria include a potential additional 5% of available points for compliance with the Equal Pay for Montana Women Executive Order.

The contract appears to be open to a wide range of environmental and UXO clearance contractors without explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Payment terms are structured as Net 30, with the entire procurement funded in US Dollars. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the multi-year contract nature and the complexity of UXO clearance suggest a potentially significant contract value. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive documentation, including a Covered Telecommunications Equipment representation, which indicates potential restrictions or additional compliance requirements for technology and equipment used in the project. The contract covers environmental services across the Limestone Hills Training Area, implying a need for specialized expertise in UXO detection, clearance, and environmental remediation. Contractors will need to demonstrate robust capabilities in handling potentially hazardous materials, comprehensive environmental assessment, and precise removal techniques specific to unexploded ordnance and munitions-related environmental challenges.
