RFP: Brownfields Clean Up and Planning Project

Kawerak, Inc.’s Environmental Program seeks a contractor to address four sites within the Bering Strait Region and conduct a series of assessments, meetings, plans and two cleanups. This project will provide the stepping-stones needed to move these properties from contaminated to clean and will ultimately lead to the reincorporation of valuable property back into the community as well as a cleaner environment for people whose lives are extraordinarily connected to the land.

Over the course of the project the contractor will conduct one site visit to the Shishmaref Tannery site where they will host one community meeting, produce one fact sheet on the site, complete one Phase I ESA and one Sampling & Analysis Plan (SAP). For Elim Old City Shop, Koyuk Native Corporation Former Tank Farm Site and Koyuk City Former Tank Farm Site, the contractor will complete for each site one fact sheet, one Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternative (ABCA) and one Cleanup & Reuse Plan (CRP). Finally, the contractor will conduct cleanups of the two Koyuk sites. Contractor will update information for all sites into the ACRES system.

The intent of this project is to assist communities in obtaining the information and documentation they need in order to pursue future cleanups which will reincorporate land into their communities and protect their environment.
