The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Announces the Availability of the Administrative Record for the
Fairfield Neighborhood Lead Site
Fairfield, Jefferson County, Alabama
The Fairfield Neighborhood Lead Site (the Site) currently encompasses 18 residential properties within 0.25 miles of the U.S. Steel Corporation-Fairfield Works (facility). On December 10, 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency received a petition from the Fairfield Environmental Justice Alliance for a Preliminary Assessment of hazards to public health and the environment associated with alleged releases from the facility, and other points and mobile sources impacting residential areas in the City of Fairfield.
The EPA Region 4 completed the Preliminary Assessment of the Site on August 19, 2022, and believes contamination may have wind-deposited soil onto the Site. The Site is an area that has been surrounded by iron and steel foundries operating in the past. There were 18 residential properties with lead or benzo(a)pyrene levels above the EPA’s Removal management Level. A time-critical removal action for hazardous substances is necessary to protect human health and the environment. The total cost for this action is estimated to be $1,985,913, which will be funded through the EPA.
The Site is not on the National Priorities List (NPL) but is currently undergoing a Sampling Site Investigation to determine if listing on the NPL is warranted. The EPA has coordinated all investigatory and response activities with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and the City of Fairfield.
The Administrative Record file includes documents that form the basis for selection of the removal action. A removal action is a short-term cleanup intended to stabilize a site that poses an imminent and substantial threat to human health or the environment. Documents in the record may include, but are not limited to, preliminary assessment and inspection report, test results, and the Action Memorandum. All interested persons are encouraged to review the documents. The Administrative Record is available for public review at: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/CurSites/cadminrecord.cfm?id=0420772&doc=Y&colid=67692.
For further information, please contact Terry Stilman, On-Scene Coordinator, directly (404) 562-8748 or via email at stilman.terry@epa.gov or Zariah Lewis, EPA Community Involvement Coordinator at (404) 562-8342 or via email at lewis.zariah@epa.gov

The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham (“BWWB”) has adopted a voluntary Historically Underutilized Business (“HUB”) Program designed to encourage the participation of HUB firms in construction projects. To that end, the BWWB will never exclude any firm from participation in, deny any person benefits of, or otherwise discriminate in connection with the award and performance of BWWB contracts based on social or economic status. Historically Underutilized Business (HUB): a business formed for the purpose of making a profit and is at least 51% owned, operated and/or controlled by one or more American citizens or permanent resident aliens who are a: Minority Business Enterprise (MBE); Women Business Enterprise (WBE); or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) [herein sometimes collectively referred to as a HUB].
It is the intent of the BWWB to foster competition among contractors, suppliers and vendors that will result in better quality and more economical services for the BWWB. Under this program, the BWWB has established a goal of 30% participation of HUB firms for services required for BWWB construction projects. The BWWB’s stated goal will not be the determining factor in construction contract awards; rather bidders must demonstrate compliance with the Good Faith Efforts, more particularly outlined in the HUB Program, toward meeting said goal.
Failure on the part of a bidder to fully submit the information required herein may be considered by the BWWB in evaluating whether the bidder is responsive to bid requirements.
Alabama Code §31-13-9 (1975) provides that as a condition for the award of any Contract by The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham (“BWWB”), a business entity or employer that employs one or more employees within the State of Alabama shall provide documentation of enrollment in the E-Verify program.

Each Prospective Bidder is required to make sure his or her Subcontractor(s) understand the minimum prevailing wage rates for the work location.
Each Prospective Bidder must read and provide documentation relative to the “Request for Company Product and Service Information Letter” and complete the “EEO Report Form” document for the corporation, partnership, joint venture, etc. submitting a bid included at the end of the Section 00200 Instruction to Bidders. These two (2) items must be included with the Prospective Bidder’s Bid [Section 00200g and Section 00200h].
Each Prospective Bidder shall read and understand the Alabama Department of Revenue’s (ADOR’s) sales and use tax exemption policy pursuant to Act 2013-205 Section 1(g) [CONTRACTOR accounts for the sales tax not included in the Bid Form by submitting an Accounting of Sales Tax – Attachment to BWWB Bid Form]. Failure to provide an accounting of sales tax shall render the Bid non-responsive. Other than determining responsiveness, sales tax accounting shall not affect the bid pricing nor be considered in the determination of the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. After Notice of Award, Prime Contractor and Subcontractor(s) licensed by the State Licensing Board for General Contractors must comply with ADOR reporting requirements for the duration of the project. For further information see Section 00409, Alabama Department of Revenue-Sales and Use Tax Exemption, Section 00200 Instruction to Bidders (Article 33) and refer to paragraph 6.10 in the Supplementary Conditions.
If a Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, who has neither been disqualified nor rejected pursuant to these Contract Documents, and whose Bid based on an evaluation by the OWNER indicates that the award will be in the best interest of the project and will result in the lowest overall cost to the OWNER for completion of the project. Unless extended by OWNER, a Contract will be awarded within ninety (90) calendar days after the day of the opening of Bids.
The OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, the right to waive irregularities or to accept any proposal deemed to be in the best interest of the OWNER.
