The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is taking bids for cleanup of the radioactively contaminated Luckey Site in Ohio under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP).
The small business set-aside award would have a five-year base term and an option for another five years, according to the request for proposals issued on June 17.
The primary job is extraction and off-site disposal of soil, sediment, debris, and fill, the procurement notice says. But the long list of additional responsibilities includes operating an on-site laboratory, stormwater management, water treatment, and restoration of the excavated areas.
The selected contractor will be required to have know-how in beryllium monitoring and worker safety, health physics, running environmental laboratories, dismantling structures and debris disposal, and waste management.
Annual funding for the job is expected to be capped at $30 million, the Army Corps said.
The 40-acre property, 22 miles outside of Toledo in the village of Luckey, was home to beryllium processing for national defense from 1949 to 1961. Remaining contaminants in the soil, groundwater, and other materials encompass beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranum-234, and uranium-238. A warehouse, production building, rail spur, and other infrastructure also remain on-site.
The current remediation contract is North Wind Portage.
Bids are due by 3 p.m. local time Aug. 5. Extensions are not anticipated, according to the Army Corps.
A virtual preproposal conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday. The link and call-in number for the event are available through today from [email protected].
