Quick Summary
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a bridge extension to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 1's Emergency and Rapid Response Services (ERRS) Contract No. 68HE0121D0005. The extension is necessary to ensure uninterrupted critical environmental cleanup and emergency response capabilities. The estimated value for this 12-month extension is $13,646,074.40.
Purpose & Justification
The EPA Region 1 Superfund and Emergency Management Division (1SEMD) requires this bridge extension due to "unusual and compelling urgency." A lapse in these services would cause serious injury to the government, the public, and the environment. The extension is necessitated by delays in the competitive re-procurement process, including the loss of key personnel and a government shutdown, which have pushed back the award of the follow-on contract.
Scope of Services
The ERRS contract provides fast, responsive environmental cleanup services for releases of hazardous substances, wastes, pollutants, and petroleum products/oil. Key services include:
- Emergency response and site stabilization
- Sampling and monitoring
- Controlling spilled material
- Waste treatment, restoration, removal actions, transportation, treatment, and disposal. These services are vital for responding to natural and man-made disasters, terrorist activities, weapons of mass destruction, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incidents, and federally declared disaster incidents.
