Petroleum Contaminated Soil Removal – Mathews High School
Vienna, Ohio
Petroleum Contaminated Soil Removal Work Plan
(Bid Specification)
FOR THE
Mathews High School
4434 Warren-Sharon Road
Vienna Township, Ohio
Petroleum Contaminated Soil Excavation & Disposal
Mathews High School – Vienna, Ohio
SCOPE OF WORK
Background
In June 1998, two (2) USTs were removed from the Mathews High School property. The
removed tanks were reported to be one (1) gasoline UST and one (1) diesel UST. Both
were located adjacent to a former bus garage located on the property (since removed).
The size and construction details of the former tanks are not positively known; however,
available evidence suggests that they were 2,000 gallons in size (each) and, based on
the assumed age of the tanks, are presumed to have been steel.
An after-the-fact UST Closure Assessment for the former tanks was conducted in 2014.
Based on the results of the after-the-fact UST Closure report, a Tier I Investigation was
completed in June 2014, in accordance with Bureau of Underground Storage Tank
Regulations (BUSTR) requirements. The Tier I Investigation consisted of the installation
of six additional soil borings, three of which were completed as monitoring wells, in the
vicinity of the former gasoline UST (the previous samples collected around the former
diesel UST indicated no exceedance of BUSTR action levels).
Results of the Tier I Investigation indicated that the soils in the vicinity of the former
gasoline UST cavity exceed the default Tier I action levels for BTEX and TPH (GRO).
The groundwater in the vicinity of the UST cavity exceeds the default potable standards.
Based on the concentration of petroleum constituents present in the soils in and around
the former UST cavity (benzene of up to 34 ppm), an Interim Response Acton (IRA) is
planned to excavate and remove the impacted soils from the immediate vicinity of the
former gasoline UST.
Objective
The objective of this request for proposal (RFP) is to help the Mathews Local School
system select a contractor that can provide for the excavation, transportation, and off-site
disposal of approximately 300 – 600 tons of petroleum impacted soils (PCS); located at the
site of a former gasoline underground storage tank (UST) at the Mathews High School
(Figure 1). The contractor will also be responsible for the backfilling of the excavation area,
and restoration of the gravel parking lot in which the excavation is located. The contractor
will be aided during the excavation process by Professional Service Industries (PSI), Inc.
PSI will direct the contractor as to the lateral and vertical extent of the excavation needed
(which will determine the volume of PCS), and will provide environmental sampling of the
excavation and reporting duties.
Required Tasks
The general scope of the contractor’s responsibilities and tasks will consist of the
following:
1)
The contractor will provide all equipment, materials, and manpower needed to
excavate the petroleum contaminated soils from the former gasoline UST
location area.
PSI Inc. will be present during the excavation operation, and will provide field
screening of the excavated soils, and will provide direction to the excavation
contractor on the extent and depth of the soils to be removed. The goal of the
excavation will be to attempt remove all soils that exceed the BUSTR Tier I
Action Levels at the site (to the extent practical).
B-1
Petroleum Contaminated Soil Excavation & Disposal
Mathews High School – Vienna, Ohio
The total quantity of contaminated soil to be removed (and disposed of) is
estimated to be approximately 300 – 600 tons. The actual quantity of soils
removed will be dependent on the results of the field screening and the direction
of PSI. The depth of the excavation (vertical extent of the impacted soils) is
estimated to be approximately 12 feet below grade. The excavation area is
located within a gravel parking lot area.
2)
The contractor shall provide for the transportation (trucking) of the excavated soil
from the excavation area to the (contractor selected) soil disposal facility/landfill.
The contractor shall be responsible for loading the trucks for transportation. The
contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the trucks do not leak
contaminated water from the soils. The contractor will otherwise comply with all
relevant transportation regulations.
3)
The contractor will provide for the disposal of the excavated soil at a landfill
approved to accept petroleum contaminated soil. The contractor will be
responsible for obtaining pre-approval from the landfill for the acceptance of the
soils as needed. PSI will assist the contractor in the pre-approval process by
providing the results of the existing analytical data as needed. The contractor will
be responsible for providing copies of the transportation and soil disposal
manifests. A representative of Mathews Local Schools will sign the disposal
manifests as the generator.
4)
The contractor will be responsible for providing excavation de-watering services
as needed, during the excavation activities. During the investigations to date, the
soil in former UST cavity, and immediate vicinity was found to be fully saturated
silt and clayey silt. The depth to groundwater in the UST cavity was observed to
be approximately 5 feet below grade. All groundwater pumped from the UST
cavity shall be considered to be petroleum contaminated. The water shall be
disposed of at a facility licensed and approved to dispose of petroleum
contaminated water.
5)
Upon completion of excavation, the contractor will backfill the UST cavity using
clean soil that will be pre-positioned on the school property. The soil was
obtained from utility work on the road, nearby the school. It is anticipated that the
volume of pre-positioned backfill soil will be sufficient to backfill the excavation
cavity. However, the contractor is asked to provide a unit cost price for obtaining
additional clean fill material should the pre-positioned soil volume be inadequate.
6)
The contractor shall complete the upper 9-inches (at a minimum) of the
excavation area with ODOT #304 stone (or approved equivalent). The final grade
shall match the existing parking lot. The contractor may re-use (to the extent
practical) the existing gravel material removed from the top of the excavation and
(and set-aside). This material is not considered to be contaminated. The
thickness of the existing gravel at the location is believe to be approximately 6
inches. The gravel material required to make up the difference between the reused on-site gravel and the 9-inch requirement should be #304 stone.
7)
The excavation and backfilling operation is anticipated to require multiple days to
complete. The contractor will provide adequate barrier fencing to secure the
excavation/work area at the end of each day.

Petroleum Contaminated Soil Excavation & Disposal
Mathews High School – Vienna, Ohio
Timing & Schedule
In an attempt to minimize the disruption to the functioning of the High School, the IRA
excavation activities are planned to be completed during a time in which school is not in
session. Therefore, the activities are currently planned to take place between December
20, 2014 and January 4, 2015. If inclement weather prevents the completion of the IRA
during this timeframe, the IRA activities shall be completed after May 30, 2015.
Proposal Costs Format
The contractor’s proposal should include all costs to complete the scope of work outlined
in this specification. For the purposes of bid comparison, the contractor is asked to
provide costs in accordance with the following scope categories:

Excavation costs, quoted per/ton of contaminated soil removed. A base cost
assuming approximately 500 tons should be quoted, with a unit cost (+ or -)
provided for a contingency of a lower or higher total soil volume removed.

Soil transportation & disposal cost, quoted per/ton of contaminated soil. A base
cost assuming approximately 500 tons should be quoted, with a unit cost (+ or -)
provided for a contingency of a lower or higher total soil volume.

Excavation dewatering and disposal costs, quoted per gallon. For the purposes
of bidding and bid evaluation, the contractor should include costs for an estimate
of 1,000-gallons of contaminated water disposal.

Backfilling costs should include a lump sum for backfilling utilizing the on-site prepositioned clean soil backfill and re-use of the existing gravel. The bid should
also include unit costs for supplying additional clean fill and #304 gravel, if
needed.
