Find Environmental Services RFPs in Pennsylvania

CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act), commonly known as Superfund, authorizes the EPA to clean up contaminated sites. It funds billions in remediation contracts annually. Contractors working on Superfund sites need HAZWOPER training (29 CFR 1910.120) and appropriate state licenses.

Yes. OSHA HAZWOPER certification (40-hour initial, 8-hour annual refresher) is required for workers at hazardous waste sites. Firms typically need state environmental contractor licenses and may need specific EPA certifications for lead, asbestos, or mold remediation. Professional engineers (PE) or certified hazardous materials managers (CHMM) are often required on proposals.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to assess environmental impacts of major actions (construction, land use, permits). This generates demand for Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), Environmental Assessments (EA), and Categorical Exclusion documentation. Nearly every federal infrastructure project requires NEPA review.

Key vehicles include EPA's Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START) contracts, USACE's MATOC and IDIQ contracts for environmental remediation, DOE's environmental management contracts at national labs, and GSA Schedule 899 (Environmental Services). Many agencies also issue standalone RFPs for site-specific work.
