B -- LABORATORY ANALYTICAL SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED ON SOIL, SEDIMENT, AQUEOUS AND BUILDING MATERIAL SAMPLES TO BE COLLECTED AT LI TUNGSTEN SUPERFUND SITE, GLEN COVE, NASSAU COUNTY, NY: USEPA CONTRACT NO. 68-W9-0051. SOL INVITATION FOR BID NO. 8001-202-LAB. POC: Dennis G. McGrath (914) 641-2818). Bids for the laboratory analysis of soil, sediment, aqueous, and building material samples to be collected at the Li Tungsten Site, a Superfund (NPL) hazardous waste site in Glen Cove, Nassau County, New York, will be received by the ENGINEER, Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., 104 Corporate Park Drive, White Plains, NY 10602, until 3:00 p.m. local time on Friday, April 5, 1996 at which time and place, the bids will be privately opened. Bids received after the stated date and time will not be considered consistent with applicable FAR/EPAAR provisions. Bids received through the mail shall be made in accordance with FAR 52.214-7 and will be accepted by the ENGINEER in accordance with FAR 52.214-7. FAXED Bids will not be accepted. From the early 1940's until 1985, tungsten ores and tungsten ore concentrates, imported primarily from China, South America and Canada, were smelted at the 26-acre Li Tungsten facility for the production of tungsten carbide powder, tungsten wire and welding rods. In 1985, the company filed for bankruptcy and the facility ceased operations. Previous site investigations have indicated the presence of heavy metals including radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and radium, fuel oil constituents, volatile organics, PCBs, asbestos, and strong acids and bases. The scope of work described herein is in support of a Remedial Investigation (RI) being undertaken at the site. This non-RAS laboratory analytical program consists of radiochemical (230Th, 232Th, 226Ra, 228Ra, 238U), chemical (TCLP, pH, Total Organic Carbon, Total Dissolved Solids),and physical/geotechnical (hydraulic conductivity, Atterberg limits, moisture content, grain size distribution, and bulk density) analyses. the number of samples for radiochemical analyses include 170 soil/sediment, 83 aqueous, and 10 building material. Data collected during previous investigations indicate that the majority of process materials discarded on site and that may be sampled as part the remedial investigation, contain concentrations of the radioisotopes of interest ranging from background levels to approximately 100 pCi/g, although some samples have had greater than 1,000 pCi/g of 232Th. The number of samples for chemical analyses include seven soil samples for TCLP, 97 soil samples for pH and TOC, 74 aqueous samples for TDS; the number of samples for physical analyses include 28 samples for hydraulic conductivity, Atterberg limits, moisture content, grain size, and bulk density. Analytical methods, holding times, QA/QC requirements, reporting requirements and any other special instructions are detailed in the statement of work for each parameter. Soil/sediment samples will be collected over a 6-8 week period beginning around May 1, 1996; aqueous samples will be collected in two sampling episodes approximately 6 months apart tentatively scheduled for July 1996 and January 1997. The proposed scope of work represents a diverse combination of analytical parameters that may not be within the in-house capabilities of all analytical laboratories. The prime laboratory subcontractor may sub-contract portions of the work, however, preference will be given to a prime laboratory that can perform in-house the highest percentage of the total scope of work. Bid Documents may be examined at the office of Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., 104 Corporate Park Drive, White Plains, New York. Copies of Bid Documents may be obtained at the office of the ENGINEER on or after March 22, 1996 between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. or by mail addressed to the POC. Neither the OWNER nor the ENGINEER will be responsible for full or partial sets of Bid Documents, including any Addenda, obtained from any other source. All Bids shall be made on forms furnished in the Bid Document and shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope marked on the outside with ``Li Tungsten Superfund Site, Glen Cove, Nassau County, New York, Laboratory Bid Enclosed'' and addressed as follows: Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., 104 Corporate Park Drive, White Plains, New York 10602, Attention: Dennis G. McGrath, ARCS Operations Manager. The name of the Bidder, its address shall be plainly marked on the outside of the package. To perform this work, the successful Bidder shall hold or obtain New York state certification and all other licenses and permits as required by federal, state, and local statues. The name of the Bidder, its address shall be plainly marked on the outside of the package. To perform this work, the successful Bidder shall hold or obtain New York state certification and all other licenses and permits as required by federal, state, and local statues. Before a subcontract is awarded, the selected laboratory will be requested to demonstrate the following: current New York State certification(s); acceptable performance on applicable Performance Evaluation samples as well as recent State laboratory audit findings; an effective Quality Assurance Program; and a Statement of Qualifications. The ENGINEER will conduct such investigations as is necessary to determine the performance record and ability of each Bidder to perform the size and type of work described in the Bid Documents. Upon request, the Bidder shall submit such information as deemed necessary by the ENGINEER to evaluate the Bidder's qualifications. Selection will be based on price and qualifications of responsible bidders. Before a subcontract is awarded, compliance with all USEPA requirements specified in the Bid Documents must be demonstrated and will be subject to USEPA review and consent. The ENGINEER reserves the right to: (1) reject all Bids or any Bid not conforming, in the sole opinion of the ENGINEER, to the intent and purpose of the Bid Documents; (2) postpone the award of the subcontract, or (3) cancel this solicitation at any time prior to subcontract award.
