F--IL-CRAB ORCHARD NWR-LUST PROJECT

IL-CRAB ORCHARD NWR-Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) PROJECT ******** AMENDMENT ONE (1) Two (2) documents (United Science Industries Lust Incident 941970 Site Classification Completion Report of July 113, 2000 and Drawing showing Maintenance Shop Enclosing Pump Station at LUST #941970) are attached that provide background information. Also included in this amendment are answers to questions received from an interested contractor. Question 1) For Task 1 (Additional Sampling), can U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provide a defined scope of sample collection for consistency across bidder proposals? Or can the bidder propose their own sampling protocol that will meet ILEPA requirements? ANSWER: A copy of the United Science Industries Lust Incident #941970 Site Classification Completion Report dated July 13, 200 is provided. The contract shall evaluate the report and develop a sampling plan that will meet ILEPA requirements. The site shall be tested for BETX and PNAs based on the previous results as a minimum. If ILEPA guidance has changed for required sampling since this time, additional required sampling shall be conducted. Question 2) Is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife amenable to using a groundwater use restriction as part of the corrective action? ANSWER: Yes, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife is amenable to using a groundwater use restriction as part of the corrective action. Question 3) Is U.S. Fish and Wildlife amenable to using a requirement for future buildings to be constructed as slab on grade or with full concrete basements and no sumps as part of the corrective action? ANSWER: Yes, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife is amenable to using a restriction for future buildings to be constructed on grade and on slab. We would never install a basement in this location. Question 4) Should costs for "active" remediation be included in this proposal, for example, installation of a vapor mitigation system to address potential vapor intrusion pathway should exceedances of this exposure route exist? Or would this type of work be considered a contract modification based on the analytical results? ANSWER: This would be considered a contract modification based on the analytical results and use of this location if needed. This site currently is used for cold storage no personnel are housed in this location. We may also consider a restriction of how this location is used. Question 5) Can the Agency consider extending the proposal deadline by one week until February 14th to allow for question responses? ANSWER: Yes, the request for quotation due date can be extended to February 14, 2025. ******** This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
