The IDC will be for Design, Drafting, Planning Studies and Site Investigations associated with projects of a general engineering, environmental nature and will include projects with natural and cultural resources considerations. The major intended work, however, will be for HTRW and environmental studies, management plans and the design of required remediation. Work will include required remediation. Work will include required environmental regulatory compliance assistance as well as OSHA compliance issues. All work must be done by, or under the direct supervision of registered professional engineers. The expected date of award is 1 January 1996. The contract will be awarded for an initial period of one base year with an option to extend it for two one-year periods. The maximum annual contract will be $5,000,000.00.

PROJECT INFORMATION: Architect-Engineer (AE) services are required for survey/confirmation studies, remedial investigations, feasibility studies and/or design studies that could lead to the clean-up of the site. Investigations involve determination of the nature, extent and movement of contamination, and developing appropriate remedial action alternatives for possible clean-up. Work for the survey and remediation design may include the following tasks: detailed record and title searches; obtaining rights-of-entry; preparing field and lab workplans; surveys for hazardous and toxic substances and ordnance/explosive samples; site-specific safety plan and quality assurance project plans; field sampling plans; installation and survey of wells and investigation borings; sampling and analysis of groundwater, surface water, soil and waste samples; well closure; geologic mapping; geophysics; test pitting; sampling and analysis of hazardous, toxic, and possible low-level radioactive and explosive waste; sampling and analyzing air monitoring data; professional and engineering results of study with recommendations for further field investigation; risk assessments; engineering reports including all test data, methods and quality assurance/control plans; and, site remediation designs and bench scale testing to determine the effectiveness of the proposed remedial design. For sites that require restoration, the AE may be asked to provide a set of design alternatives and bench scale test results to determine the most suitable remediation process, budget estimates, environmental assessment documents, funding documents (the front page of DD Form 1391), and, a statement of work for detailed clean-up actions. The potential HTRW sites may be located in the states of IL, MI, WI, NY and OH.
