- Description
- This is a pre-solicitation notice that Request for Proposals (RFP) #140P2123R0014 will be posted on approximately April 11, 2023. This is not the full solicitation; proposals are not requested at this time. The RFP will include detailed specifications to conduct a removal action under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) to remove hazardous materials from a contaminated site at Caneel Bay Resort on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. The work is a Non Time-Critical Removal Action (NTCRA) to remove asbestos-containing materials (ACM) that is scattered across the Site, generally around buildings with moderate to major hurricane damage, miscellaneous debris piles, and other areas where waste is stored. The contractor will implement a previously-developed NTCRA work plan (WP) to remove ~160 cubic yards of asbestos-containing materials (ACM), transport it to appropriate disposal facilities. Note that there is no landfill permitted to receive hazardous waste in the U.S. Virgin Islands; hazardous materials, including ACM, must be transported stateside for legal disposal. In 2021, NPS performed an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) investigation to assess the nature and extent of contamination, assess risks to human health and the environment, and determine a preferred cleanup alternative. The Caneel Bay Resort closed to overnight visitors in 2017 after Hurricanes Irma and Maria severely damaged many of its buildings. Topography of the Site varies from steep mountain terrain to gently sloping beaches. The Site slopes to various bays and the Caribbean Sea. The area is characterized as a semi-arid forest. The on-site work must be complete by 9-30-2023. Additional details will be provided in the documents to be posted with the solicitation. A payment bond (100%), performance bond (100%), and liability insurance will be required prior to contract performance. An offer guarantee will be required with proposal submission. PROJECT LOCATION: The site is at the Caneel Bay Resort within the Virgin Islands National Park (VIIS) on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI).
