UST - 11929

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) issued an Invitation for Bid (UST - 11929) for corrective action services at the Former Ryder Terminal located at 10 Woods Lake Road in Greenville, SC. The procurement specifically seeks a South Carolina-Certified Class I Site Rehabilitation Contractor to perform comprehensive environmental remediation services, including excavation and disposal of petroleum-impacted soil and groundwater. Required deliverables include utility survey, site preparation, soil excavation, dewatering, amendments and backfill, monitoring well installation, and site restoration. Contractors must submit a detailed cost breakdown and proposed remediation methods, with award determined by the lowest responsible and responsive bidder based on Corrective Action Cost. Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on August 10, 2022, at 10:00 AM ET via Microsoft Teams, with questions due by August 11, 2022, at 2:30 PM ET. The response submission deadline was September 6, 2022, at 2:30 PM ET, with award notification scheduled for September 20, 2022. The contract performance period is estimated at 90 days from Notice to Proceed or 1 year, whichever occurs first.

The contract was ultimately awarded to Geological Resources, Inc., a company based in Monroe, North Carolina, with a total potential contract value of $259,600.00. The contract became effective on September 30, 2022, and runs through September 29, 2027, providing a maximum contract period of five years. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The state assumes no responsibility for cost increases due to unforeseen subsurface conditions, equipment malfunction, or acts of nature, except at DHEC's sole discretion. If a utility survey indicates excavation is not feasible, the contractor will be reimbursed $1,000 for mobilization and survey costs. Contractors must obtain and maintain all required certifications, permits, and licenses at their own expense and comply with the UST Quality Assurance Program Plan. Payment will only be made for documented work completion as specified in the contract, with invoices required to be submitted within four months of plan approval or funds will be uncommitted.
