The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is seeking a contractor for a remedial excavation project at the Audrey Lavelle Estate located at 22820 Mountaineer Highway in Littleton, WV. The project involves the removal and disposal of approximately 500 tons of petroleum-contaminated soil, including specific tasks such as asphalt cutting and removal, soil excavation and segregation, confirmation soil sample collection, petroleum-contaminated soil disposal, chemical oxidation application, and site restoration. The solicitation (ARFQ 0313 DEP2500000074) requires a contractor to perform comprehensive environmental remediation services, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting held on July 1, 2025, and technical questions due by July 9, 2025. Bid submissions are due on July 16, 2025, at 10:30 AM, to be submitted electronically through the wvOASIS Vendor Self Service system. Evaluation will be based on the lowest overall total cost, with the contract structured as a fixed-period contract with a 58-day completion timeline.

The procurement includes several specific vendor requirements and restrictions, notably mandating that at least 75% of employees be hired from the local labor market. Vendors must provide a 5% bid bond, a 100% performance bond, and a 100% labor/material payment bond, along with commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance with $2 million per occurrence limits. The project is not subject to Davis-Bacon wage rates and requires vendors to maintain a drug-free workplace, comply with state licensing regulations, and use domestic steel products. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the project involves unit pricing for various components such as excavation, disposal, and site restoration. Vendors must be prepared to provide new, unused commodities and coordinate with WVDEP's contract laboratory for sample collection and analysis, with lab charges to be directly billed to the department using established contracts.
