Environmental Engineering Services to Perform Brownfield Assessments & Redevelopment Planning

The Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency (HCIDA) is soliciting proposals for environmental engineering services to perform brownfield assessments and redevelopment planning in Herkimer County, New York. Funded by an EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant, the project aims to revitalize severe industrial blight in high-priority waterfront and downtown areas to mitigate public health risks. The scope of work is divided into four primary tasks: selecting sites for environmental characterization through inventory and mapping, conducting community outreach with stakeholders, performing comprehensive site assessments including Phase I and II investigations, and preparing detailed written reports on the findings. The total reserved budget for these services is 472,600.00 dollars, with a contract term extending through September 30, 2030. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed package by October 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Award selection is based on a 100-point evaluation system reviewing qualifications, which must include a detailed assessment team and resumes for key personnel. The successful contractor must adhere to strict EPA and HCIDA quality standards, including the submission of an EPA-approved Quality Assurance Project Plan and Health and Safety Plan. Additionally, the contractor must maintain specific insurance coverages, including 2,000,000 dollars in excess umbrella liability, and comply with New York State prevailing wage laws. Payment terms are set at 45 days after the receipt of an invoice.
