Subsurface Investigations

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is soliciting proposals for subsurface investigations of petroleum release sites located in Glasgow and Nashua, focusing on environmental services related to hazardous materials site evaluation and remediation. This procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking professional environmental consulting services for comprehensive site assessments, including remedial cleanup, risk assessment, and sampling and analysis of environmental media. Potential bidders must complete mandatory prerequisites such as contractor registration, vendor profile completion, and compliance with state requirements including worker's compensation and prevailing wage policies. The RFP requires submission of total project costs for both sites as lump sum service line items, with proposals due by April 5, 2019, at 3:00 PM MDT. Contractors must communicate exclusively through the eMACS Q&A Board and are required to complete several mandatory forms, including a Dark Money Declaration and an Equal Pay for Women certificate. The procurement is categorized under environmental services commodity codes 1608, 1630, 1633, and 1634, with attachments including prevailing wage rates and preliminary site maps detailing boring locations.

The solicitation appears open to qualified environmental consulting firms without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the RFP suggests a competitive bidding process for environmental investigation services. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability to conduct subsurface investigations, environmental sampling, and site remediation assessments. The procurement covers two distinct geographical sites (Glasgow and Nashua) within Montana, with proposals expected to provide comprehensive cost structures for the entire project. Proposers will need to show compliance with state nondiscrimination policies and provide evidence of professional qualifications in environmental site assessment and remediation. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed in the provided documentation, the requirement for lump sum service line items indicates a structured approach to project pricing. Potential bidders should carefully review all attached documentation, including site maps and prevailing wage rates, to ensure full compliance with the RFP requirements.
