B -- TAL/TCL LABORATORY ANALYTICAL SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED ON SOIL, SEDIMENT AND AQUEOUS SAMPLES TO BE COLLECTED AT LI TUNGSTEN SUPERFUND SITE, GLEN COVE, NASSAU COUNTY, NY: USEPA CONTRACT NO. 68-W9-0051. INVITATION FOR BID NO. 8001-202-LAB2. POC: Dennis G. McGrath (914-641-2818/914-641-2455 FAX). Bids for the laboratory analysis of soil, sediment and aqueous 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, June 28, 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 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 Target Analyte List (TAL) inorganics (metals and cyanide - total and dissolved), utilizing CLP Inorganic SOW ILM04.0 or latest revision and Target Compound List (TCL) Organics (VOAs, BNAs, Pesticide/PCB) analyses utilizing CLP-Organic SOW OLM03.2 or latest revision. The number of samples for chemical analyses include 184 soil/sediment samples and 95 aqueous samples. 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 radioisoptes of 230Th, 232Th, 238U, 226Ra and 228Ra ranging from background levels to approximately 100 pCi/g, although some samples have had greater than 1,000 pCi/g of 232Th. The laboratory performing these analyses must be able to accept and handle samples with concentrations of these isotopes greater than 1,000 pCi/g. Analytical methods, holding times, QA/QC requirements, reporting requirements and any other special instructions are described in the statement of work. The data package generated as the final deliverable must be equivalent to the CLP RAS format and Level IV data quality. The laboratory must submit all documentation including the packing lists, chain-of-custody forms, copy of the laboratory request, and analytical results on standard CLP forms, as described above for all samples submitted to the laboratory (the data sheets must include the dates the samples were collected, received (VTSR), and analyzed by the laboratory (the data sheets must include the dates the samples were collected, received (VTSR), and analyzed by the laboratory). All QA-QC information, standard information, and raw data must be provided. Initial calibrations, continuing calibrations, etc. must be reported on standard CLP forms. A written narrative describing problems encountered in receipt or during analysis and corrective actions taken (including telephone logs, etc.) must be provided. The report must describe the actual methods used from preparation to analysis. The report shall be paginated. Results shall be reported in micrograms per liter or micrograms per kilogram. The laboratory must supply a detailed example calculation that clearly demonstrates the manner in which the initial and final result was derived. Where applicable, each component of the calculation must be explained (e.g., if the calculation includes a dilution factor, it must be clear where, why, and how each dilution occurred). The laboratory must supply any and all information required to reproduce, during independent data review, all results reported by the laboratory. Soil/sediment samples will be collected over a 6-8 week period beginning around August 1, 1996; aqueous samples will be collected in two sampling episodes approximately 4 months apart tentatively scheduled for October 1996 and February 1997. Unused portions of the samples may be returned to Malcolm Pirnie at the Li Tungsten site after analysis is completed. 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 June 7, 1996 between 9:00a.m. and 3:30p.m. or by written request mail or FAX address 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, TAL/TCL Laboratory Bid Enclosed'' and addressed as follows: Malcom 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. No exceptions or deviations from the requirements stated in the bid documents will be considered. To perform this work, the successful Bidder shall hold or obtain current CLP participation or a state certification for the applicable parameters and all other licenses and permits as required by federal, state, and local statues. Current or previous participation in the USEPA's Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) is desirable, but not required. Participation by small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and women-owned businesses is encouraged, however, this procurement is not a set-aside. Before a subcontract is awarded, the selected laboratory will be requested to demonstrate the following: experience in producing CLP-equivalent deliverables; current CLP participation or state certification(s); acceptable performance on applicable Performance Evaluation samples as well as recent State laboratory audit findings; a demonstrated effective Quality Assurance Program; a Statement of Qualifications; and references for similar projects. The ENGINEER will conduct prior to contract award such investigations as is necessary, including a laboratory audit, 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 qualification. 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.
