B -- SPECIAL STUDIES AND ANALYSIS -- NOT R&D, LABORATORY ANALYTICAL SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED ON SOIL, BUILDING MATERIAL, AQUEOUS, AND WIPE SAMPLES SOL 8001-232-LAB1 DUE 062598 POC Lisa D. Greco, RI Leader, (201) 529-4700, Ext. 201. ANALYTICAL SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED ON SOIL, BUILDING MATERIAL, AQUEOUS, AND WIPE SAMPLES TO BE COLLECTED AT THE WHITE CHEMICAL CORPORATION (WCC) SUPERFUND SITE, NEWARK, ESSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY: USEPA Contract No. 68-W9-0051. INVITATION FOR BID NO. 8001-232-LAB1. POC: Lisa D. Greco (201) 529-4700 Ext. 201. Bids for the laboratory analysis of soil, building material, aqueous, and wipe samples to be collected at the WCC Site, a Superfund (NPL) hazardous waste site in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, will be received by the ENGINEER, Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., One International Boulevard, Mahwah, NJ 07495-0018, until 3:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, June 25, 1998 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. The WCC formerly manufactured a variety of acid chlorides, brominated organics, mineral acids and fire retardant compounds. Although very little site-specific background data exists that identifies contaminants of concern at the site, the following types of chemicals were removed from the site during a USEPA removal action: acids, poisons, corrosives, flammable liquids, oxidizers, air/water reactives, and lab reagents. Historical site information from a facility WCC operated in Bayonne, New Jersey indicated the presence of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, metals, and brominated compounds. In add~ition, due to the use of certain precursor chemicals, dioxin may also potentially be present. The scope of work described herein is in support of a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) being undertaken at the WCC site. This non-RAS laboratory analytical program consists of chemical (Target Compound List (TCL) volatiles utilizing SW-846 8260B, total phenols, corrosivity, cation exchange capacity (CEC), total organic carbon (TOC), TCLP parameters, total dissolved solids (TDS), alkalinity, sulfate, nitrate, chloride, lead, TCL, utilizing CLP SOW Organic OLM03.2, or latest revision, and Target Analyte List (TAL), including CN, utilizing CLP SOW ILM04.0, or latest revision) and physical parameters (hydraulic conductivity, atterberg limits, moisture content, grain size, and bulk density) analyses. The following lists the approximate number of samples for each analyses: TCL volatiles, 210 soils and 20 waters; total phenols, 235 soil/wipe samples and 53 waters; corrosivity, 210 soils; CEC, 98 soils; TOC, 210 soils and 24 waters; TCLP, 55 soil/building material samples; TDS, 29 waters; alkalinity, sulfate, nitrate, and chloride, 24 waters; lead, 12 paint/dust samples; TCL, 25 wipe samples; TAL, including CN, 25 wipe samples; hydraulic conductivity, 10 soils; atterberg limits and bulk density -- min and max, 25 soils; and ~moisture content and grain size, 35 soils. Analytical methods, holding times, QA/QC requirements, reporting requirements and any other special instructions are detailed in the statement of work for each parameter. 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 associated with the analysis of the samples including the packing list/Chain-of-Custody forms, a copy of this request and analytical results on tabulated forms (the data sheets must include the dates the samples were collected, received and analyzed by the laboratory). Sample results, instrument calibrations, calibration verifications, internal laboratory spike analyses, duplicate/replicate analyses, blank analyses, background analyses, and sample spike analyses, must be reported in tabulated format. All QA/QC information, standard information and instrument printouts, as applicable, must be provided. The laboratory is required to submit two electronic deliverables for all the data; a GIS/key deliverable and a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) electronic deliverable as specified in the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation N.J.A.C. 7:26E. The laboratory must supply any and all information required to reproduce, during independent data review, all results reported by the laboratory. For each analysis, the laboratory must supply a detailed example calculation that clearly demonstrates the manner in which the initial and final result were derived. Where applicable, each component of the calculation must be explained. A written case narrative describing any problems encountered in receipt and/or during analysis of the samples, and the corrective actions taken (including telephone logs, etc.) must be included in the data package. The case narrative must describe the actual methods used from preparation to analysis. It is estimated that the soil, building material, aqueous, and wipe samples will be collected over a 6 month period beginning around August 1, 1998. 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- subcontract 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. Unused portions of the samples may be returned to Malcolm Pirnie at the WCC site after analysis is completed. Bid Documents may be examined at the office of Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., One International Boulevard, Mahwah, New Jersey. Copies of Bid Documents may be obtained at the office of the ENGINEER on or after May 29, 1998 between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. or by mail or fax addressed to the POC. The ENGINEER will not 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 "White Chemical Corporation Site, Newark, New Jersey, Laboratory Bid No. 1 Enclosed" and addressed as follows: Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., One International Boulevard, Fifth Floor, Mahwah, New Jersey 07495-0018, Attention: Lisa D. Greco. The name of the Bidder and its address shall be plainly marked on the outside of the package. To perform this work, the successful Bidder shall hold or obtain all 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 or prior CLP participation; acceptable performance on applicable Performance Evaluation samples as well as recent State laboratory audit findings; an effective Quality Assurance Program; 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, (3) cancel this solicitation at any time prior to subcontract award, or (4) award more than one subcontract.
