The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is looking for a contractor to do cleanup at the former DuPont Chambers Works site in Deepwater, N.J., according to a pre-solicitation notice published Tuesday.
The Corps plans a single award task order contract for cleanup of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) site at Deepwater, according to the sources sought notice in the System for Award Management.
The actual solicitation should be available around Feb. 7, according to the notice.
The Corps is looking for a contractor to remediate radiological contamination, including uranium, thorium, and radium, left over from the early years of the nation’s atomic energy program, according to the notice.
The 1,450-acre property along the eastern shore of the Delaware River is now owned and operated by Chemours. The site has been used for making chemicals for well over a century, according to a background packet from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
