E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer via, engel.kathleen@epamail.epa.gov. The proposed acquisition covers enforcement support services which will assist EPA Superfund program in EPA Region 9 (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada.) These services will be performed under a cost-plus-fixed-fee, level-of-effort contract. The EPA anticipates full and open competition resulting in an award of one five year contract. There will be no options to extend the period of performance. The maximum effort for the five year period of performance will be approximately 68,000 LOE. The anticipated release date for the Request for Proposals (RFP) is around June 17, 1998. Award is anticipated in February, 1999. The contract supports EPA efforts in the following areas: 1) identification of PRPs who are or may be liable for performing or paying for response actions; 2) notification to the PRPs of their potential responsibility and liability; 3) negotiations with the PRPs in an effort to obtain their agreement to perform or pay for required response actions; and, 4) in instances when negotiations are unsuccessful, issuance of Unilateral Administrative Orders to require performance of response actions, or initiation of litigation to recover costs expended and/or to be expended by EPA in addressing releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. These steps are not always performed sequentially, and it is most accurate to consider them as interrelated and interdependent. The contractor will assist and support EPA in performing the following tasks in accordance with Superfund program guidance documents: records collection and compilation; investigations and interviews; title searches; business and individual tracing and research; financial viability assessments; CERCLA Lien and other recorded document support; document management and control; and expert support.
