Soil Remediation

The contract involves the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 overseeing soil remediation efforts at the Tower Chemical Site in Lake County, Florida, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The contract specifically addresses additional oversight required due to the discovery of unknown drums and extra contaminated soil, which necessitates deeper excavation and careful handling. Because these new tasks fall within the original scope of work and competing for this oversight would be cost prohibitive, the EPA has decided to extend the existing prime contractor’s role rather than open the work to competition. This modification ensures continuity and efficiency in managing the remediation process, as the current contractor is best positioned to handle the updated site conditions. The task order associated with contract EP-S4-09-02 will be amended to permit continued oversight activities. The work is being administered by the EPA’s Region 4 Contracting Office based in Atlanta, Georgia, with performance taking place in Clermont, Florida. Key contact for this contract is Lynette Rocke, who can be reached via phone or email for further inquiries.
