Raymark Superfund Site, Stratford CT: Operable Units (OUs) 5 (Shore Road) & 6 (Morgan Francis)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing this Sources Sought Announcement to determine interest, availability, and capability of 8(a), HUBZone, Women-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Small Businesses to perform services for Raymark Superfund Site, OU5 (Shore Road) & OU6 (Morgan Francis). The NAICS code for the work described below is 562910 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The total contract value is anticipated to be between $25,000,000 - $100,000,000. Solicitation is expected in or around April of 2024 and the work is expected to begin in or around January of 2025. An 18-month duration is expected for the work.

The Raymark Superfund Site includes areas that have been contaminated as a result of manufacturing processes from the former Raymark facility. Specifically, contaminated waste material was used as fill in various locations within the Town of Stratford, CT.

The proposed work is to remediate OUs 5 (Shore Road) & 6 (Morgan Francis). The OU5 remediation requires the excavation and offsite disposal of approximately 10,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil (primarily PCBs, metals, and Asbestos) and site restoration. The OU5 property is in the vicinity of Shore Road and the Housatonic Boat Club. OU6 (Morgan Francis) property was a historically low-lying area that was filled with Raymark waste. The remediation for that property requires the excavation of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of waste from an adjacent creek, restoration, consolidation of that waste on the Morgan Francis Property, and construction of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste landfill cap and supporting infrastructure. The area of the Morgan Francis site to be capped is approximately 6 acres. The to-be-constructed RCRA cap will have an average thickness of 4’ and will consist of a low permeability liner system with soil cover. The Site abuts a residential area of town and, as such, there are significant air monitoring, dust control, traffic management, and public safety requirements as part of this project.
