Brownfield assessment, cleanup planning, and redevelopment services for Herkimer County

Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency (HCIDA) seeks environmental consulting services to assess brownfield sites and support their cleanup and redevelopment in Herkimer County, New York. - Buyer and funding: HCIDA, led by Chief Executive Officer Mr. John J. Piseck, Jr., is procuring services under a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields grant. EPA Region 2 is identified as the grant office; the grant materials also reference the Land, Chemicals and Redevelopment Division and Grants and Compliance Management Branch. - Scope: Inventory and prioritize sites; conduct community outreach; perform petroleum and hazardous-substance assessments and remedial investigations; develop cleanup, reuse, and redevelopment plans; and prepare technical reports. Target areas include the Villages of Dolgeville, Ilion, and Herkimer. - Planned quantities: The RFP/workplan identifies 12 Phase I assessments, 5 Phase II assessments, and 3 reuse plans. Other grant materials identify 5 environmental site assessments, 4 community meetings, 4 site-specific cleanup plans/Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives, 4 planning documents, and 16 quarterly reports. A separate workplan reference also calls for 5 Phase I reports, so the assessment and report counts vary across the materials. - Requirements: Phase I assessments must follow ASTM E1527-13. An EPA-approved Quality Assurance Project Plan and site-specific documents are required before fieldwork; a health and safety plan, community engagement, and incorporation of resilience and sustainable practices are also specified. The contractor must provide or direct a Qualified Environmental Professional and be authorized to work in New York, but need not be a New York engineering firm. HCIDA will secure site access and owner permissions; professional liability coverage of $2 million is required. - Budget and performance: The RFP allocates $472,600 for contractor services; related EPA grant materials cite a $500,000 grant. Performance is expected to conclude by 2030, with possible EPA-approved no-cost extensions. - OEMs and vendors: No product manufacturers, OEMs, or contractor vendors are named. This is a professional-services procurement, with no product line items.
