Weston, Inc. for Soil Removal at UST 231/243 and 637 Sites; Completion of Removal Action Summary Reports, UST Closure Reports, Fuel Line Reports, and Intrusive Investigation Reports; and Construction/Implementation Phase Removal Action by Intrusive Investigation at SWMU 52 Ordnance Manufacturing Area, SWMU 54 Ordnance Production Filled Area, and Site 04 Abrasive Blast Grit Disposal Area at Mare Island, Vallejo, CA under Other Than Full And Open Competition as authorized by FAR 6.302-1. The completion of TPH-contaminated soil removal at UST Sites 231/243 and 637 includes the backfill and restoration of those sites to match the existing condition prior to excavation. The report completion effort is for documentation associated with the completed removal and disposal of PCB-contaminated soil at Installation Restoration 13, lead-contaminated soil at Installation 25, ordnance at the South Shore Area and Dredge Pond 3M, TPH at UST 231/243 and 637 Sites, and contaminated soil at Installation Restoration 17. The completion of removal of the remaining 20% of the Unexploded Ordnance and ongoing intrusive investigation by excavation, and sampling and disposal of excavated anomalies and wastes are to be in accordance with the intrusive Investigation Work Plan Developed by Code 120, UXO, SSPORTS. The basis of the sole-source justification is that the former SSPORTS employees that will be working for Roy F. Weston have an intimate knowledge of the shipyard site, past shipyard work practices, and the particulars of the cleanup projects. Although not easily quantifiable, this knowledge and trust are likely to save money and time in completing the subject services (i.e., avoidance of learning curve costs and delays). A new contractor would have to familiarize itself with thesite conditions, the site investigation data, the cleanup plans, the completed cleanup work, and the evaluation of the cleanup work. Anticipated award date is September 11, 1999. This notice is not a request for offers. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Written inquiries or comments regarding this announcement may be mailed to the address above or faxed to (650) 244-2341. Attn: Mark Pfeiffer. Posted 08/24/99 (W-SN371891). (0236)
