USACE Europe Environmental Remediation 2010-2016

The Department of the Army European Command established this Master IDIQ for environmental remediation and contamination mitigation services within Germany, Italy, and other locations including Belgium, the Netherlands, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Israel, but the vehicle is no longer active — the last date to order expired January 1, 2016, approximately ten years and six months ago.

The vehicle operated from July 2, 2010 through the ordering deadline with 60 task orders issued, of which the most recent award occurred October 16, 2015. Combined potential value across all task orders totals $19.2 million against a shared ceiling of $45 million, with $18.6 million obligated (97% of combined potential). Task-order awards remained relatively steady over the vehicle's life, ranging from 5 to 11 awards annually between 2011 and 2015.

Awarded work spans contaminated soil removal and disposal at multiple Army installations in Europe, groundwater remediation, remedial action at specific former industrial sites (dry cleaners, laundries, fuel points, gas stations), decommissioning and decontamination activities, and environmental baseline surveys. Representative task orders include soil and asphalt removal at USAG Grafenwoehr ($1.1 million obligated), disposal of contaminated soil at Baumholder, Grafenwoehr, and Hohenfels ($2.6 million obligated across multiple orders), and groundwater pump-and-treat operations at Italy locations. Task-order values typically range from approximately $10,000 to $600,000, with occasional larger orders in the $1 million to $2.6 million range for multi-year soil disposal programs.

The competitive field was dominated by four primes: Arcadis Deutschland GMBH (14 orders, $7.3 million combined potential value), Hydrodata Ecco Joint Venture (20 orders, $5.1 million), Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG–Zenith Environmental B.V. JV (10 orders, $3.9 million), and Amec Petroltecnica (9 orders, $1.6 million), with a fifth firm, Ch2M Hill International Services, Inc., receiving 7 orders valued at $1.3 million. All 60 task orders were awarded without set-asides on an unrestricted competitive basis. Approximately 97% of orders and 96% of combined potential value flowed to Department of the Army European Command; minimal activity served other Army entities. Place of performance concentrated on German Army installations (Grafenwoehr, Baumholder, Ansbach, others) and Italian facilities (Vicenza, Aviano), with subordinate work in Romania, Turkey, and other European locations.
