PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Military Container (QTY: 5) Hazardous Material Sanitization and Disposal

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide hazardous materials clear out, cleanup, transport and disposal. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the

Government. The Contractor, in turn, shall be accountable to the Government for contractor or subcontractor personnel.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform hazardous materials clear out, cleanup, and disposal as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the contract and consistently with the established standards in this PWS and contract.

1.2. Background: The requirement for the services originated from water purification chemicals of the U.S Army unit, 127th QM Water Purification Company, having been stored in military containers that incidentally combined. The combining of the chemicals occurred due to fluctuating temperatures and the containers being disturbed and shifted as they were moved using material handling equipment (MHE).

1.3. Objectives: The basic service objective includes the following:

1.3.1. Provide safe and proper removal of all hazardous and non-hazardous materials from all five containers on-site. The chemical will be appropriately transported and disposed of.

1.3.2. Provide sanitization of the inside and surrounding exterior of all five containers, to include the ground beneath the containers.

1.3.3 Provide transportation to haul off and dispose of the five containers. The containers are deemed unserviceable for continued military operations due to the extensive corrosive effects from the water purification chemicals.

1.3.4 Provide all necessary equipment and materials to properly perform safe collection and disposal of all hazardous materials and the military containers. MHE does not need to be provided by the service provider due to MHE on-site from the customer unit having it available.

1.4. Scope: Service provider will safely remove all hazardous and non-hazardous contents from the inside of the five military containers. These chemicals will be contained and disposed of off-site of the Fort Liberty, NC due to the Installation having insufficient environmental services available. The service provider will dispose of the five unserviceable military containers from the motor pool area. Services include removal and containment of hazardous material stored inside the five military containers, sanitization of the inside and surrounding area of the container, and to dispose of the five military containers off-site. The Contractor shall accomplish the safe and proper removal of all hazardous and non-hazardous material contents and five containers from the motor pool site in accordance with all applicable environmental regulations and laws.

Military container sizes (2 dry and 3 temperatures controlled):

2 x Tricons: 8’W x 6’L x 8’H.

3 x Temperature Controlled Units: 10’W x 10’L x 8’6” H.

Hazardous and Non-hazardous contents: approximate total 2,000 lbs. See Technical Exhibit X for

Materiel Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for known contents. Contractor should be prepared for contents that do not have MSDS.
