Y--Omaha Lead ID/IQ

Pre-solicitation notice - NAIC code 562910 for procurement of environmental remediation services for multiple properties in Omaha, NE with Elevated Blood Levels (EBL) whose non-foundation soil is greater than or equal to 800 mg/kg lead. Remediation will include: 1) pre-removal actions; 2) removal; and, 3) post-removal actions. EPA's objective is to achieve "property closeout", which requires removing lead-contaminated soil from select properties until an average concentration of 400 ppm is reached in near-surface soils and restoring the affected property to pre-removal conditions. In addition, this contract shall also be the vehicle through which anomolous properties are remediated. Anomolous properties are those residental properties that, for one reason or another, do not conform to the norm and require more extensive services than usual to achieve property closeout. The contractor shall be required to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Remediation shall be conducted pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and National Contingency Plan (NCP) requirements. These services shall be performed at multiple properties in Omaha, NE. EPA anticipates issuing a fixed rate ID/IQ contract with performance incentive for these services. Estimated dollar ceiling for this procurement is $2,400,000.00 if all options are exercised. The IFB is anticipated to be issued on or about January 23, 2007. The IFB will be posted at: www.epa.gov/oam/regions/index.htm .
