Phase 2 Environmental Assessment of the Voit Property (3450 Milwaukee Street)

The City of Madison's Storm Water Utility is seeking proposals for a Phase 2/2.5 environmental site assessment of the Voit Family Farm property located at 3450 Milwaukee Street in the Town of Blooming Grove, Wisconsin. The primary objective is to evaluate potential soil and groundwater contamination on a 35-acre portion of land intended for a coagulant-treatment pond to remove phosphorus from Starkweather Creek. Proposers must submit comprehensive proposals by August 8, 2018, at 6:00 PM CST, including firm qualifications, key personnel experience, project approach, work plan details, cost estimates, and project schedule. The assessment must investigate fill piles, conduct utility locates, perform soil borings and/or test pits, and develop sampling and analysis methodologies with a site-specific health and safety plan. Proposals will be evaluated using weighted scoring criteria: Experience, Project Team, and References (20%), Project Approach (35%), Cost Proposal (40%), and Local Preference (5%). The final Phase 2 ESA report must be completed by November 1, 2018, to align with the City's property purchase deadline of December 31, 2018.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does offer a 5% scoring preference for firms based in Dane County who register prior to the proposal due date. The project requires the selected contractor to maintain specific insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Professional Liability ($1,000,000), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), and Worker's Compensation insurance as required by Wisconsin. The project manager or technical lead must possess OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 health and safety training and be present during all sampling activities. The contract includes a six-year post-completion professional liability coverage requirement and mandates compliance with EPA, ASTM, Wisconsin WDNR, and DSPS regulations. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the proposal requires detailed time and materials estimates with unit rates and project milestones, suggesting a comprehensive and potentially substantial environmental assessment project.
