Remedial Excavation and Corr Eskey McCauley

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is seeking qualified contractors for a remedial excavation project at the Eskey McCauley property located at 2466 Staunton Pike in Elizabeth, West Virginia. The procurement involves excavating approximately 500 tons of petroleum-contaminated soils, disposing of the contaminated material at a state-approved landfill, backfilling excavated areas with gravel, and completing site restoration. Key deliverables include performing up to 20 confirmation soil samples for BTEX/MTBE/TBA analysis, preparing a Remedial Action Completion Report, and ensuring proper segregation of contaminated and non-contaminated soils. Contractors must hold a valid West Virginia Contractor's License and be prepared to manage all aspects of the project including permits, transportation, and equipment costs. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 10, 2024, at 11:00 AM at the project site, with technical questions due by December 16, 2024, at 4:00 PM. Bid submissions are required electronically through the wvOASIS Vendor Self Service system by December 23, 2024, at 10:30 AM, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder meeting all specifications.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does require contractors to hire at least 75% of employees from the local labor market. Vendors must provide a 5% bid bond and are required to maintain commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance with minimum limits of $2 million per occurrence, as well as workers' compensation insurance. The contract is structured as a Fixed Period Contract with a 120-day completion timeline and includes performance bonds and labor/material payment bonds at 100% of the total bid amount. Liquidated damages of $1,000 per day will be assessed for delays beyond the contract period. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract includes line items for mobilization/demobilization (not to exceed 2% of total bid), excavation, soil sampling, disposal, backfilling, and report preparation. Payment terms include a 10% retainage that may be held for six months, with invoices due within 45 days of work completion. Laboratory analysis costs will be billed directly to WVDEP through existing contracts.
