RFB-105-26 Former Wiley Property Arsenic Clean-up AI# 124089

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Energy and Environmental Cabinet has issued Request for Bid (RFB-105-26) for environmental remediation services at the Former Wiley Property in Hartford, Kentucky. The project involves excavation and off-site disposal of arsenic-contaminated soil resulting from historic illegal dumping, targeting areas surrounding an old barn structure and a downhill slope. Key deliverables include excavating contaminated soil at depths ranging from 1.0 to 7.0 feet, constructing 120 linear feet of drainage channels, installing 400 linear feet of permanent farm fencing, and restoring site surfaces to original grades with permanent seed mixes. A mandatory site visit was held on November 19, 2025, at 1:00 P.M. Central Time, and the solicitation closes on December 16, 2025, at 1:30 P.M. Eastern Time. Bidders must submit responses exclusively through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, register in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system, and combine the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond into a single PDF attachment. Contractors must possess OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training and comply with specific personal protective equipment requirements for hazardous and non-hazardous waste operations.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The project requires contractors to obtain all necessary federal, state, and local permits, including Ohio County Excess Weight Permits, NPDES permits, and 401 Water Quality Certification, with all associated fees to be covered by the contractor. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the State has an established Hazardous Waste Generator EPA ID for the site. The project is anticipated to start in Spring 2026, with a rough timeline dependent on contractor selection and preparation. Contractors must be prepared to handle complex environmental remediation tasks, including equipment decontamination, stormwater pollution prevention, and site restoration. The State will provide access to all project documentation through the Kentucky Plan Room at no charge, and technical questions can be directed to Susan Ward, the Purchasing Agent, at Susan.Ward@ky.gov or (502) 226-0335. Though no specific budget range was disclosed, the project involves significant environmental remediation work with multiple technical specifications and requirements.
