Operation and Maintenance of Environmental Remediation Systems and Related Field Services

The City of Tucson, located in Pima County, Arizona, is seeking sealed proposals through RFP No. 222988 for comprehensive environmental remediation services from qualified firms. The solicitation covers operation, maintenance, and repair of environmental remediation systems across seventeen environmental sampling sites and sixteen closed landfill properties. Specific services include groundwater and soil sampling, environmental monitoring, extraction/injection well services, and landfill gas collection and control system services. The City intends to select multiple firms to provide these services on an as-needed basis, with estimated contract activities distributed as 40% for remediation systems operation and maintenance, 20% for groundwater and soil sampling, 10% for environmental well services, and 30% for gas collection system operations. Proposal evaluation will consider representative project experience, method of approach, pricing, and project team qualifications. The pre-submittal conference is scheduled for Tuesday, April 26, 2022, at 10:30 am via Microsoft Teams, with proposals due on Thursday, May 5, 2022, at 2:00 PM local Arizona time. Contractors must possess specific equipment, OSHA HAZWOPER certifications, and demonstrate ability to perform services across various landfill and environmental sites with different system configurations.

The solicitation includes HUD Section 3 requirements, which mandate that employment and economic opportunities generated by the project be directed to low- and very low-income persons, particularly those receiving HUD housing assistance. Contractors must comply with regulations in 24 CFR part 135, including notifying labor organizations and posting job opportunity notices. The contract term is one year, with the option of four additional one-year renewals. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a significant contract value. Contractors will be required to provide detailed pricing across five labor categories: Supervisor/Project Manager, Senior Technician, Technician Level II, Technician Level I, and Administration/Clerical. The City emphasizes the importance of timely repairs, comprehensive reporting, and compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Potential contractors must demonstrate expertise in environmental monitoring, system maintenance, and the ability to work across multiple sites with varying system configurations.
