DEP, in conjunction with EPA, found that buildings containing debris characteristic of the debris
from the impact of the collapse of the WTC were identified and remediation was commenced.
Debris removal from the immediate areas of destruction in the WTC complex has been completed,
and the remaining unoccupied buildings identified as potentially contaminated must be rid of debris.
As local residents are concerned that apartments may contain debris from the WTC catastrophe, it
was deemed necessary to establish a call center to provide residents a means of obtaining
professional cleaning services and testing. USEPA has determined that an expedited clean-up of
buildings containing debris is in the public interest and it is necessary to ensure the air quality of the
affected area is as pure as possible. Concurrent air monitoring was also deemed necessary. The area
designated for such clean-up and air monitoring was divided into four quadrants, each requiring
remediation and air monitoring.
Procurement: DEP’s Bureau of Environmental Compliance identified 17contractors able to perform
the scope of work required for the emergency cleap-up and established a bidder list;
On August 12, 2002, the solicitation documents were provided to the 25 firms. Four bids were
received and opened on the August 26, 2002 due date. The lowest bid, $2,996,750, was submitted
by ATC Associates.
A review of the Vendex database shows no cautions for ATC Associates.
