Y--OMAHA LEAD OU2

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 Contracting Office is preparing to procure environmental remediation services focused on residential properties in Omaha, Nebraska, addressing lead contamination. The contract, anticipated to be issued as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) around mid-April 2010, aims to remove lead-contaminated soil and restore the affected properties, with additional tasks involving lead-based paint stabilization at select locations. The remediation activities must adhere to all relevant federal, state, and local regulations, specifically aligning with the requirements of CERCLA, SARA amendments, and the National Contingency Plan. The EPA plans to award a fixed price or fixed unit price contract that includes performance incentives and estimates the total value to range between $22 million and $27 million if all contractual options are exercised. This procurement falls under NAICS code 562910 and is set aside for 8(a) competitive bidding, targeting qualified small businesses eligible under this program. Services will be conducted across multiple sites within Omaha, requiring contractors to maintain rigorous environmental standards and compliance throughout the project duration. The EPA’s Office in Lenexa, Kansas, will oversee the contracting process, with all pertinent bid information and announcements posted on the EPA's regional contracting website. This effort underscores the agency’s commitment to mitigating lead hazards and safeguarding public health through comprehensive environmental cleanup initiatives.
