UST - Tank Removal

This contract involves the removal and corrective action of underground storage tanks (UST) and associated vapor control containers (VCC) at two specified sites in South Carolina: the Bailey Corner Store on Edisto Island and the Blocker Store Property on St. Helena Island. Administered by the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services, the contract addresses environmental remediation activities including site assessments, contamination mitigation, soil and groundwater treatment, vapor extraction, and related tasks. The work requires compliance with state and federal regulations such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Act, and relevant EPA guidelines. Oversight is provided by state-certified professionals and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), while technical and financial administration involves the Edisto Island Open Land Trust and associated contractors. The contract is solicited under NAICS code 562910 and has an estimated value of approximately $26,760.50, covering various deliverables such as groundwater sampling, soil borings, plan preparation, and laboratory analysis. Performance includes strict packaging, preservation, and chain-of-custody protocols for sample handling aligned with EPA and state standards. The scope also mandates timely reporting through detailed technical documentation and economic benefit reports. Evaluation and award are conducted on a trade-off basis considering price and technical merit, without employing standard federal acquisition clauses. Contract administration directs payment to the Edisto Island Open Land Trust with quarterly invoicing procedures and designates multiple oversight roles, though no formal contracting officer is identified. Special contract conditions emphasize environmental compliance, certification of non-responsibility by EIOLT, financial viability, and limitations on legal claims, alongside strict controls on land use and transfer of obligations. The solicitation process permits physical or electronic proposal submission with specific deadlines and requirements but does not detail standardized submission format constraints or scoring weights.
