Decommissioning Services Requirements IDIQ

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) conducts the world's largest biomedical research programs. NIH is one of eighthealth agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services and is comprised of twenty-seven differentinstitutes and centers. All of the institutes and centers work together under the Director of NIH to pursue the primary mission of biomedical research. The Division of Environmental Protection (DEP) is a support unit at NIH that is responsible for providing environmentalcompliance services pursuant to various federal, state, and local laws or regulations. One responsibility is theEnvironmental Site Assessment and Remediation initiative that began in 2002. This initiative is also referred to as decommissioning. The purpose of this acquisition is to award an Indefinite Deliver Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Requirements Contract to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced contractor to assist DEP with facility site assessments, remediation, demolition, and general environmental related services at NIH. Primary services that are anticipated to be awarded under the resultant contract include environmental feasibility assessment, site characterizations, and remediation of identified and encountered hazards which may be required to renovate or demolish NIH space. The primarycontaminant is largely expected to be mercury in various chemical and physical forms. Other facility-intrinsic or research-related hazards are expected to be incidentally remediated or abated in the process of addressing the mercury. Conduct investigations and remediation of possible environmental contamination and generate appropriate documentation for the NIH. All work shall be in compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan (NCP),the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, along with all other applicable Federal laws, and state and local environmental regulations as identified in Appendix A of the solicitation (when released). The additional/incidental hazards potentially encountered are summarized in the Decommissioning Checklist attached to this solicitation. Furthermore, the selective demolition of facilities or other identified features may be necessary to support the remediation project. This type of service may be vital for remediation to occur and may require the use of heavy industrial equipment (i.e. crane) forcompletion. A preference is given to Contractors, Joint-Ventures, Partnerships and Teaming Arrangements that meet multipleservices listed in the scope of this solicitation. This is a construction contract vs a service contract as the intent of this award is to conduct the necessary site assessments and remediate prior to a construction activity beginning in said space. There is no incumbent contractor. NO telephonic inquiries will be accepted. Written communication shall list "NIHOF201800050" in the subject line to ensure that it is read and addressed in a timely manner.
