The document outlines a proposed infrastructure plan for a groundwater treatment system, detailing the necessary piping and electrical connections for various wells designated as GWEX and INJ. The total estimated piping length is approximately 3.93 miles, with specific preferences for the types of piping used. Electrical supply for certain wells is suggested to be from localized power drops, while one well is anticipated to draw power from the treatment plant. Locations for extraction and injection wells will be determined in the field, indicating adaptability to on-site conditions. The document includes a layout featuring known utilities along roads, including water mains and communication lines, which are critical for planning and construction. The purpose is to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the infrastructure needed for effective groundwater management, facilitating responses to government requests for proposals (RFPs) and grants related to environmental and utility systems.
UChicago Argonne, LLC, operating under a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to evaluate contractors’ capabilities for providing construction services related to a groundwater extraction and treatment system (GETS) project in York, Nebraska. This initiative aims to remediate groundwater contamination from carbon tetrachloride and chloroform at a site previously managed by the USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation. The project will include the installation of extraction and injection wells, piping, and a treatment plant, along with pre-construction planning and site preparation. Argonne requests potential contractors to share their interest, capabilities, and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate. Responses are due by November 20, 2024, with a project completion timeframe targeted for FY25. Compliance with specific government regulations and terms, including Davis-Bacon Act wages and the Buy American Act, is required. The RFI serves as a market research tool to inform future project solicitations and does not guarantee contract awards.
