1 Request for Bids for Hydraulic Lift Removal 3300 Wisconsin Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri Background The Land Reutilization Authority (LRA) of the City of St. Louis requests bids from qualified Environmental Contractors for the removal of a subsurface hydraulic lift and any associated oil reservoir/piping. The oil reservoir for the lift likely exists below the floor; the condition of the oil reservoir has yet to be determined. The lift is located in the former garage area; the selected Environmental Contractor (the Contractor ) will be responsible for accessing the garage area by removing the overhead garage door(s) and for securing the building after the removal action is complete. The building contains deteriorated lead based paint and asbestos floor tiles. The building roof is in extremely poor condition, with mostly joists remaining. All available environmental reports and other documents related to this RFP may be downloaded at: Proposals are due no later than 3:00 PM on December 21 st, Pre-Bid Meeting Because of the building condition, we will have a site visit on Monday, December 12 th, 2016 at 1:00 PM. All attendees will be required to sign a waiver (Attachment B) before entering the building. You are encouraged to fill out and sign the waiver and include in your response. It is the responsibility of the respondent to examine the site and associated environmental reports to inform their proposal. Unless there is a substantial change in scope, LRA does not intend on permitting any change orders or additional compensation for misinterpretations of the documents or site conditions. If there are concerns about the completeness of the scope after the site visit, questions should be submitted for clarification. Living Wage Ordinance The Consultant shall agree to comply with Living Wage Compliance Provisions and with the regulations for the entire term of any contract or agreement with LRA or any of its constituent agencies or authorities and shall submit the reports required by the regulations for each calendar year or portion thereof during which such contract or agreement is in effect. Copies of the Ordinance and Regulations may be obtained by contacting Rachel Shklar, Contract Compliance officer, at or at

2 Scope of Services - Removal Activities Contractor Tasks: Prepare and submit required applications to the selected landfill to obtain disposal approval. Remove overhead garage door in order to get equipment indoors. Properly handle and dispose of garage door which is confirmed to have lead-based paint. Remove hydraulic lift, shaft, and associated components. Remove oil reservoir, contents, and associated piping. Backfill sump area with soil/rock that is removed from the excavation (that does not exhibit evidence of petroleum hydrocarbon impacts based on the environmental consultant s field observations.). Additional clean soil (i.e., silty clay) or minus rock may need to be imported to backfill the excavation to the original grade. Secure building during and after lift removal. Sign special waste disposal manifests on behalf of the owner and provide copies of all manifests, bills of lading, certificates of lift cleaning/disposal, waste disposal receipts, and any other necessary documentation to Geotechnology. Geotechnology Tasks: Removal activities will be documented by Geotechnology who has already been engaged to conduct oversight activities and collect confirmation samples. Prior to lift removal, Geotechnology shall collect a sample of residual oil within the lift system (if accessible) and have it analyzed for waste characterization parameters. During lift removal, Geotechnology shall screen representative soil samples with a photoionization detector (PID) for the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The extent of soil excavation undertaken by Contractor will be dependent on the observed field conditions and PID readings. Geotechnology shall collect soil (and groundwater, if it accumulates in excavation) closure samples from the final excavation. Geotechnology shall summarize the hydraulic lift/reservoir removal and soil excavation activities in a report. The report shall include a summary of remediation activities, soil/groundwater sampling activities, analytical testing results, soil disposal manifests/documentation, and a discussion of closure sampling results as compared to the Missouri Risk-Based Corrective Action (MRBCA) Departmental guidance document. 2
