Environmental Remediation Services at the Durham Manufacturing Company Site in Durham, Connecticut   4

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District intends to issue a solicitation for environmental remediation for the temporary treatment of groundwater and excavation and disposal of soils contaminated with volatile organics at the Durham Meadows Superfund Site in Durham, Connecticut. A Best Value solicitation is planned for late 2022 and remediation field work is expected to begin early 2023 and completed by the end of that calendar year. Contract Line Items (CLINs) will clearly define separable cost-reimbursable line items for utility work, groundwater treatment, foundation support/restoration, and soil removal. A Best Value procurement provides an opportunity for offerors to submit their qualifications in writing and the government to select the successful offeror based on how well the submissions meet the source selection criteria listed in the solicitation. NO SOLICITATION IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. All interested offerors will have the opportunity to respond to the solicitation announcement at a later time. The NAICS code for this work is 562910. The estimated magnitude of this project is between $5,000,000.00 - $10,000,000.00.

Scope of the project:

The project footprint impacts two properties - the Durham Manufacturing Company (DMC) located at 201 Main Street and the adjacent residential property at 215 Main Street. Subsurface soils and groundwater in some portions of the Project Site are impacted with trichloroethene (TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), and non-chlorinated VOC contaminants. For that reason, the work is subject to the requirements for hazardous waste operations specified in Federal Occupational Safety and Health regulation 29 CFR 1910.120. The DMC will remain in operation throughout the duration of the remedial work, so the contractor should expect considerable pedestrian and vehicle traffic around the Project Site. Planned excavation limits impact existing utilities including power and septic, and they extend to the bottom of the existing DMC foundation wall. The project includes establishing temporary utilities for the DMC, temporary shoring and foundation support, groundwater treatment, excavation and transport of approximately 11,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils to off-site permitted disposal facilities, permanent foundation restoration, utility restoration and general site restoration. The remediation activities will be broken into phases to ensure that the manufacturing building is able to continue normal operations. Temporary site fencing and erosion controls are to be installed around a Phase 1A excavation in the parking area north of the building.

A site visit will be conducted at 201 Main Street, Durham, CT 06422 on Friday, 16 September 2022 at 1000-1100 ET. Please note that there is no parking at the site visit location. Visitors should park at United Churches of Durham on 228 Main Street, Durham, CT 06422 with parking lot access on Wallingford Road and Church of the Epiphany on 196 Main Street, Durham, CT.
