- PRE-SOLICITATION SYNOPSIS PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY; THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Acquisition Management (OAM), Superfund/RCRA Regional Procurement Operations Division (SRRPOD) will issue a solicitation for Targeted Brownfields Assessment Support for the EPA?s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Office of Brownfields Cleanup and Redevelopment (OBCR) in accordance with FAR Part 15 procedures. The EPA OBCR seeks the support of a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) contractor with the necessary technical capabilities to perform Targeted Brownfields Assessments (TBAs) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-118). TBAs will consist of performing Phase I and/or Phase II environmental assessments at Brownfields sites throughout the United States. Phase I environmental assessments shall be performed in accordance with EPA?s final regulations governing All Appropriate Inquiries (40 CFR 312) and ASTM International?s E1527-05 "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process," and governing State/Tribal regulations. Phase II environmental assessments shall be performed in accordance with ASTM International?s E1903-97 (2002) "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Process," and other governing State/Tribal regulations. Depending on the extent of the investigations already performed at the site, or the findings of those investigations, the contractor may be tasked to perform either a Phase I or Phase II environmental assessment, or both. A Phase I environmental assessment is a preliminary site inspection that includes among other things, a review of property uses and past ownerships, a review of relevant government records, a historical records investigation, and an on-site visual site inspection. The Phase I investigation, through a comprehensive records search and visual inspection, seeks to identify any Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) or conditions indicative of releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances which may impact the property. A Phase II environmental assessment is a more in depth site investigation that, in most cases, includes sampling and analysis to determine the type and extent of contamination present at the site. The Phase II guidelines direct the environmental professional to design the Phase II investigation according to the observations and findings of the Phase I investigation. Findings of the Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments will be used by EPA to enable property owners to determine future site actions. Additional information regarding TBAs can be found at http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/tba.htm. The contract(s) will be managed out of EPA?s ten Regional offices, which are located in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle and is (are) expected to be cost-plus-fixed-fee type.
