Virtual attendance information will be provided to registrants. Registration Deadline: 12:00 PM EST, February 27, 2025 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has completed a design to remediate the former Franklin Slag (MDC) site. The USACE anticipating solicitation of bids to implement this work in the third quarter of 2025. The Site is located at the northeast corner of Castor and Delaware Avenues in Philadelphia, PA in an industrial siting. The site consists of approximately 70,000 cubic yards of recycling slag associated with the former Franklin Slag smelting facility. This stockpile is impacted with hazardous levels of lead and detectable levels of RCRA 8 metal. The site is secured with a chain link fence and the stockpile capped with a HDPE liner. With the stockpile covers over 80% of the site, Castor Ave immediately adjacent to the Site and the shoulder of Delaware Ave, is available for use by the Contractor. Approximately 25 feet of the adjoining Philadelphia Water Department property is available for relocation of a portion of the untreated stockpile or storage of treated material awaiting laboratory analytical results. Scope of Work: Relocation of portions of slag stockpile to provide suitable working area(s). On-site treatment of existing stockpile of smelting slag with a stabilization agent to decrease leachability of lead to be characterized as non-hazardous. Laboratory analysis to confirm waste characterization as non-hazardous. Excavation of soils beneath the stockpile that exceed clean up levels. Confirmatory soil excavation sampling. Transport of stabilized slag and soil for disposal at a licensed Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Subtitle D landfill. Removal and off-site disposal of existing concrete slabs and foundations associated with the former MDC aggregate facility. Backfill with imported clean fill to meet existing ground surfaces. Dust control and erosion control measures. Design and implement a perimeter air monitoring program including monitoring of neighboring residential areas. Design and implement traffic control and detour plans associated with closure of parts of Castor and Delaware Avenues. Monitoring well abandonment and installation. Eight quarters of groundwater sampling and laboratory analytical for RCRA metals. Site restoration. Highlights of the Industry Day Include: Project Overview: Detailed presentation on the scope of work, including the criteria for community eligibility, project phases, and the planned implementation schedule. Federal Contracting Insights: Learn the specifics of engaging with the USACE on this project, with a focus on nonstructural work and home elevation initiatives. Networking Opportunities: Connect with USACE leadership and other industry peers to discuss potential collaboration and project participation. Open Forum for Feedback: Engage in discussions with USACE representatives, share your perspectives, and ask questions related to the project and contracting process. Government Request: The Government is requesting a capabilities statement, not to exceed one page, to address the following items: Seeking input on construction techniques for rehandling the stockpile to increase the available workspace. It is assumed that it will be necessary to install temporary retaining wall(s) at the property line and rehandling of the pile in order to develop a processing area. Is this feasible? Would extended work hours be beneficial to separate the traffic patterns associated with material treatment, stockpiling, and loadout? Especially considering the number of loads and landfill operating hours. Sampling of the slag stockpile has resulted in varying levels of TCLP lead. Would additional pilot testing throughout the project outweigh the additional admixture to ensure stabilization, or is that the Contractor�s means and methods? Who Should Attend? Entrepreneurs, business leaders, and representatives from companies of all sizes and socioeconomic backgrounds interested in federal contracting, especially those specializing in engineering, construction, home elevation, and related support services. Registration Information: Attendance is by prior registration only. Please register by sending the following information to Eric Leach, eric.a.leach@usace.army.mil, the primary point of contact, by 12:00 PM EST on February 26, 2025: Company Name Company Capabilities Sheet / Brief Names of All Attendees Contact Information (Email and Phone Number) Will attendance be in-person, or virtual (in-person space is limited to 20 attendees) This Industry Day is a unique opportunity to align your business objectives with the specific goals of the Franklin Slag Removal Project and to understand how your business can contribute to the success of the initiative.
