Clemson University is seeking a contractor for a two-phase pilot remediation project addressing contaminated surface water near a closed landfill. - Government buyer: Clemson University; South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) reviews and approves the remediation plan. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, product brands, or contractor vendors are named. Clemson University is the buyer, and SCDES is the reviewing agency. - Requested services: Phase I develops a pilot remediation plan; Phase II implements the approved plan. Each phase is listed as quantity 1, with no part numbers. - Technology options: Proposers must choose one preferred approach: carbon injection, air sparging, or installation of a site cap. - Key requirements: Proposals should explain the technical approach, equipment, power, staffing, timing, pilot duration, qualifications, and relevant groundwater-contamination experience. Costs must be itemized by item and phase, including installation, maintenance, and supporting services; lump-sum proposals are not accepted. - Important limitation: Proposals to remove and dispose of source material will not be considered. Phase II can begin only after SCDES approves the plan.
Description
Clemson University requests proposals for a phased pilot study of remedial alternatives to intercept a contaminant plume and reduce or prevent its further migration into an unnamed tributary to Eighteen Mile Creek. The scope is to develop a strategy to reduce volatile organic chemicals in surface water, with Phase I submitted to the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services for approval and Phase II involving implementation of the approved plan. Proposals must address one of three specified technologies: carbon injection, air sparging, or installing a cap; offers to remove and dispose of source material will not be considered. Phase I is due within six months after award, and Clemson anticipates awarding the contract in December 2026.
