Superfund Enforcement Support Service

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in Chicago, Illinois is seeking superfund enforcement support services to assist in holding responsible parties accountable for environmental contamination. The agency needs to solve the problem of identifying liable entities and recovering public funds spent on cleaning up designated Superfund sites. The scope of work covers five core areas: Potential Responsible Parties (PRPs) search activities, general enforcement support, negotiation support, litigation support, and cost recovery support. For the search activities, the agency requires the identification and investigation of all PRPs associated with designated sites using investigative rigor and legal acumen. General enforcement support involves strategic guidance, operational assistance, coordination of enforcement efforts, preparation of documentation, and facilitation of communication between stakeholders. Negotiation support requires expert facilitation and strategic advice to reach settlements and agreements with PRPs that result in favorable outcomes for the agency. Litigation support entails comprehensive assistance throughout the legal process, including preparing legal documents, gathering evidence, and providing expert testimony to strengthen the agency's court position. Cost recovery support requires detailed analysis of clean-up costs and the pursuit of reimbursement from responsible parties to safeguard public funds. Eligible bidders must be onshore USA organizations only. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget for this work. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online.
