Strafford Regional Planning Commission
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
EPA Brownfields Assessment Program

INTRODUCTION

Strafford Regional Planning Commission (SRPC) was awarded a $500,000 Brownfields Assessment Grant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during their FY2023 competition.

With this funding, SRPC will inventory regional brownfields sites, identify potential contamination issues at Brownfields sites through Phase I and Phase II assessments, evaluate cleanup and reuse strategies, conduct focused redevelopment and area-wide planning, and ultimately return otherwise distressed, abandoned, or environmentally stigmatized sites back to viable and sustainable reuse. The grant will also support on-going public outreach measures that keep the communities informed about the proposed work activities, completed assessments, and general health and economic issues.

Strafford Regional Planning Commission is soliciting proposals from Qualified Environmental Professionals (QEPs) with proven expertise performing environmental site assessments, management plans, quality assurance project plans, groundwater and soil sampling, remediation planning, cost estimates and cost control, and community outreach and public presentations. The QEP must be licensed to provide engineering services in the State of New Hampshire, and present verifiable qualifications, experience, and knowledge regarding all aspects of assessment, remediation, re-use planning, and redevelopment, including, but not limited to relevant federal and New Hampshire law, policies and guidelines, CERCLA, All Appropriate Inquiries, and EPA standards and practices, including EPA Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) requirements.

The QEP will work under the direction of the Strafford Regional Planning Commission staff and will work in collaboration with the Brownfields Advisory Committee, NHDES representatives, property owners, and developers.
