All interested and qualified firms are hereby notified that CDM Federal Programs Corporation (CDM Federal) will be issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) in late January of 1997 for a firm fixed-price subcontract for the clean up of an NPL site in Waynesville, North Carolina. It is anticipated that this RFP when issued will contain minimum qualifications for offerors to be eligible for award and award will be made to that offeror which meets the minimum qualifications and offers the lowest price. The RFP will be based on a performance specification directed toward excavating and treating contaminated soil and controlling and remediating contaminated groundwater at the site. Soil remediation is to be accomplished by the excavation of all contaminated material, mechanical screening, and either washing or biotreatment of the sorted material onsite. Groundwater remediation is to be accomplished by the use of extraction wells, pumping those wells to an effluent discharge tank, and discharging the untreated groundwater to a sanitary sewer that is connected to the local POTW. The estimated price range for this work is $2 - 4 million, with a duration of approximately 8 - 9 months for design and construction, and one year of operation and maintenance of the extraction wells and discharge system after construction completion.
