F--Omaha Lead - Excavation

Pre-solicitation notice - NAIC code 562910 for procurement of environmental remediation services for multiple properties in Omaha, Nebraska with Elevated Blood Levels (EBL) whose non-foundation soil contains greater than or equal to 400 mg/kg lead and for pre-identified "highly contaminated properties", with no EBL containing non-foundation soil 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. 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, Nebraska. EPA anticipates issuing a firm fixed price contract with performance incentives for these services. Estimated dollar value for this contract is $2,000,000.00 to $3,000,000.00. The IFB is anticipated to be issued on or about June 1, 2005. The IFB will be posted at: www.epa.gov/oam/regions/index.htm
