1.
INTENT

1.1.
This is to contract with qualified individuals and/or organizations to provide various
departments in Maricopa County (County) the following environmental services on a
demand basis:

1.1.1.
environmental site assessment/site investigation (SI)/remediation;
1.1.2.
asbestos, lead-based paint assessment and/or abatement oversight;
1.1.3.
asbestos, lead-based paint and mold abatement;
1.1.4.
environmental engineering services;
1.1.5.
environmental air consulting services;

1.1.13. lead-based paint and asbestos assessment and/or abatement for Federally funded
housing projects.

1.2.
This shall establish a listing of qualified contractors for each area of service (AOS). Multiple
awards (listing of qualified contractors) shall be made by AOS for each area of service.
Contractors selected for an AOS list are eligible to compete to provide products and/or
services as defined therein. At the time a need for service is identified, a task order and a
detailed project scope of work (PSOW) will be issued by AOS to each qualified contractor
on the listing for the affiliated service area (for exceptions, see Section 2.2.1.3). Award(s)
shall be made to the contractor best meeting specifications and offering the lowest price in
their project offer (PO). Award of this contract does not guarantee management of a
project.

1.3.
Should any project be declared an emergency procurement, the applicable provisions of
the Maricopa County Procurement Code shall prevail in the determination of award. At the
County’s option, work under $25,000 may be assigned to a contractor without competition.

1.4.
Other governmental entities under agreement with the County may have access to services
provided hereunder (see also Sections 3.14 and 3.15 below).

1.5.
The County reserves the right to add additional contractors, at the County’s sole discretion,
in cases where the currently listed contractors are of an insufficient number or skill-set to
satisfy the County’s needs or to ensure adequate competition on any project or task order
work.

1.6.
Maricopa County reserves the right to award this contract to multiple vendors. The County
reserves the right to award in whole or in part, by item or group of items, by section or
geographic area, or make multiple awards, where such action serves the County’s best
interest.

2.
SCOPE OF WORK (see Exhibit 3 for Area of Services’ Scopes of Work specific
to the thirteen identified services)

Section 2.0 – Scope of Work contains general requirements are in addition to the specific scopes
of work outlined in Exhibit 3 -Scopes of Work for Areas of Service (AOS) E3-1 through E3-13.

SERIAL 200217-ITN

Contractors understand and agree that they will abide by all conditions established in this ITN for
the applicable AOS for which they are approved and listed.

2.1.
Health and Safety Program

2.1.1.
The contractor shall, as required by project, and on a demand basis, prepare and
implement site-specific health and safety plans for all phases of the work activity
for its employees, subcontractors, or subcontractors’ employees as required. A
health and safety program is not required for contractors providing environmental
training services as presented in Section E3-7.

2.1.2.
The contractor shall have an existing health and safety program which shall comply
with all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, reference Title 29
Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1910 29 CFR 1910.120, and/or 29 CFR
1926.1101 as applicable) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards
(reference 40 CFR, particularly the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and/or Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA)), and any other applicable Federal, state, and/or local laws,
rules, regulations, and ordinances.

2.2.
Overall Responsibilities

2.2.1.
Overall Responsibilities of the Contractor

2.2.1.1.
The contractor shall understand and agree that each project (see
exceptions in 2.2.1.2) shall be supervised by a project manager or
project coordinator, assigned by the County department, to whom the
contractor shall directly report. The contractor understands and agrees
that the County department project manager or project coordinator shall
have authorities as listed in 2.2.2 – Overall Responsibilities of the
County.

2.2.1.2.
The contractor shall understand and agree that, for some projects, the
County department may request only a service such as drilling or
analysis without providing a County department project manager or
project coordinator.

2.2.1.3.
The contractor shall protect the property of the County department from
damage during the duration of any project. The contractor shall replace
any or all damaged property at no cost to the County department to the
extent damage is caused by the contractor’s negligent acts or willful
misconduct.

2.2.1.4.
The contractor shall satisfy himself/herself regarding the existing
conditions under which he/she shall have to operate in completing the
work, or which shall affect the work in any manner. No allowance shall
be made subsequently in this regard on behalf of the contractor for any
error or negligence on his/her part.

2.2.1.5.
The contractor shall carefully check all dimensions and conditions at a
project area and shall be responsible for sufficiently familiarizing
themselves with project area conditions which may affect the work
before making a firm-fixed price PO. Any drawings provided by the
County department are meant to be utilized as a guide to the building or
project area configurations. All measurements and sizes are
approximate, and must be confirmed, to the extent agreed upon by the
County department, by the contractor prior to implementation of the work
on the project.

2.2.1.6.
The contractor shall maintain a complete daily record of all labor,
equipment, materials, subcontracted services, and expenses, to include

SERIAL 200217-ITN

mileage, if any and as allowable, incurred in the performance of the
services provided, and shall provide the County department such record
with all supporting documentation, if so requested in the PSOW.

2.2.1.7.
The contractor shall complete all services specified in a PO and any
subsequent project amendment (PA) (PA is described Exhibit 4 –
Project Offer Requirements). However, the contractor shall understand
and agree that completion of such services does not in itself constitute
project completion. The County department shall determine when each
project is complete.

2.2.1.8.
The contractor, and any subcontractors utilized by the contractor, must
not be listed on the System for Award Management (SAM) Exclusion
List.

2.2.1.9.
The contractor shall submit copies of waste shipment records, if
applicable, to the County department.

2.2.2.
Overall Responsibilities of the County

2.2.2.1.
The County department issuing a PSOW will provide a project manager
or a project coordinator to review, award, and supervise a project that
results from a PSOW. The County department’s initial PSOW shall
include, at a minimum, the following:

2.2.2.1.1.
project area description

2.2.2.1.2.
schedule for completion

2.2.2.1.3.
deliverables

2.2.2.1.4.
variables and assumptions

2.2.2.1.5.
acceptance criteria

2.2.2.1.6.
reporting requirements

2.2.2.1.7.
project objectives

2.2.2.2.
The County project manager or project coordinator shall have authority
for the following:

2.2.2.2.1.
Review of and award of initial Project Offers (PO) and
subsequent related POs required in the performance of the
project.

2.2.2.2.2.
Final interpretation of the work in POs.

2.2.2.2.3.
Review of clean-up procedures.

2.2.2.2.4.
Review and approval of the use of certain equipment,
personnel, materials, services, and/or procedures.

2.2.2.2.5.
Review of work schedules including hours and days of work.

2.2.2.2.6.
Review and establishment of safety plans and protocol to
ensure compliance with OSHA and other regulations as
applicable.

2.2.2.2.7.
Stopping work in order to ensure safety of the contractor or
the environment or due to violation of safety regulations by

SERIAL 200217-ITN

the contractor, the contractor’s personnel, subcontractors,
or consultants, including issuance of stop work orders for
safety, environmentally unsafe activities, procedures, or
unnecessary work.

2.2.2.2.8.
Review of decontamination procedures.

2.2.2.2.9.
Review of disposal sites and treatment, technologies for
waste generated from clean-ups, and signing of hazardous
waste manifests.

2.2.2.2.10. Determination of project completion.

2.2.2.2.11. Review and approval of supporting documentation for
invoices submitted for payment.

2.2.2.3.
In order to ensure equity to all contractors, County departments shall
solicit initial POs from all contractors listed as qualified within the specific
AOS E3-1 through E3-13. However, there may be those special
circumstances whereby such competition is impractical (i.e., continuity
of site assessment/remediation by same contractor). In this case, the
County department responsible for the project shall prepare a written
determination to be placed in the project file detailing the extent that
competitive offers were solicited.

2.2.2.4.
After project completion, acceptance, and final payment to a contract,
the County department shall submit a Project Completion Report
including, but not limited to, identification of the County department,
location of the site, contract number(s) (or other number identifying the
PO award) issued by County department, synopsis of the effort
completed, project start and completion dates, total amount of initial
project offer award, number of PAs with dollar amounts, and
identification of specific concerns relating to the satisfactory completion
of the work scope.
