1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform the removal and disposal of PFAS compromised soil services, as defined in this PWS.
1.1.1 Objectives: Remove and dispose of PFAS/PFOA-compromised soil in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and those testing requirements of any receiving landfill the contractor chooses to use.
1.2 Background: The goal of this work is to accomplish a removal action of soil with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), located at the 115 FW Truax Field ANGB, in accordance with requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This project is intended to provide for the disposal of excess soil and cut material from construction project at the 115th FW Air National Guard Base. During construction, it was determined through the Materials Management Plan that approximately 13,200 cubic yards of PFAS/PFOS-compromised soil, should be stockpiled in the area east of Taxiway Golf, west of B1209, north of B56, and south of B430. This decision was made to avoid construction delays and to maintain soil onsite until such time that a final disposition could be agreed upon by the 115 FW, the National Guard Bureau, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. This project represents the agreed upon solution to remove the soil from Truax Field and dispose of it and provide documentation to the installation showing compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to PFAS/PFOS-compromised soil disposal.
1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be 1 Base Period of 180 days. Included are 6 options, 3 for compromised waste disposal and 3 for non-compromised waste disposal, each of which will have a 180 day POP. Exercise of each option is dependent upon available funding.

5.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for performing the work in the tasks listed as described below to properly dispose of the waste pile, document it properly, and restore the site. All work shall follow applicable State, Federal, and Air Force regulations and guidance, which includes the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Superfund Amendments and Re-authorization Act (SARA), and the National Contingency Plan (NCP). All work shall be performed in cooperation with the federal and state regulatory bodies. All work is subject to review by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and any changes to this work shall be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer (KO).
Prior to beginning work, the Contractor shall prepare a detailed and comprehensive work plan (WP) to include all the tasks to be performed under this PWS. The WP shall describe in detail the technical activities that shall be implemented to ensure execution of the plan. It shall describe how the soil will be tested and analyzed. This should be a function of testing requirements levied by the receiving landfill(s) and/or disposal site(s) identified by the contractor. That is, testing could be limited to characterization of the pile, in situ, or batch testing as soil is removed from the pile; testing requirements will be commensurate with requirements of the site(s) found by the contractor. The WP shall also include the methods and procedures to be used to transport to the proper disposal site or landfill. The plan shall also describe site restoration activities, including a seeding/sodding plan and final profile that does not exceed 25% grade, if soil remains.
The total weight of 19,600 tons and volume of 13,200 CY to be removed is an estimation and is subject to change. The estimate for the proportion of compromised to non-compromised material is 35:65; this is also subject to vary as work progresses. Contract modifications may be required to address both changes in amount of material and variances in the proportion of compromised soil.
5.2 Compromised soil disposal
When any testing results are returned, regardless of whether the contractor is required by landfill(s) or disposal site(s) to perform a one-time characterization of the pile or batch test loads of soil, the contractor will designate and manifest loads that are compromised such that they are admitted to a higher-level landfill, i.e., treated as a hazardous waste.
The Contractor shall provide all equipment, documentation, and labor to load, transport, and dispose of compromised soil from the soil stockpile. The contractor shall be responsible for performing any additional chemical analysis required to dispose of this soil in accordance with all Federal, State, and local requirements, based on the disposal or storage location they locate. The contractor shall obtain and provide all transportation and disposal documentation/manifests to the COR.
5.3 Non-compromised soil disposal
When any testing results are returned, regardless of whether the contractor is required by landfill(s) or disposal site(s) to perform a one-time characterization of the pile or batch test loads of soil, the contractor will designate and manifest loads that are non-compromised such that they are admitted to a location that accepts the soil as non-compromised.
The Contractor shall provide all equipment, documentation, and labor to load, transport, and dispose of non-compromised soil from the soil stockpile. The contractor shall obtain and provide all transportation and disposal documentation/manifests to the COR.
5.4 Reporting
The Contractor shall submit a final report that summarizes all activities completed under this PWS, including soil transport and disposal, characterization, laboratory analytical data, and any other activities.
The report will include the following:
• A detailed description of site activities,
• A photographic log that details site activities,
• A copy of all permits required for disposal (if applicable),
• Maps with sample locations and results (if applicable),
• Tables with sample results (if applicable),
• All waste/shipping manifests, to include weigh tickets from receiving sites and landfills
• Analytical results, and
• All field notes and other supporting field documentation including survey data, waste characterization data and disposal certificates, etc. (as Appendices).
A pre-draft, draft, draft final, and final of this document shall be required. The pre-draft document shall be provided in electronic format only within 90 days of receipt of the stockpile confirmation laboratory data and waste manifests. The Government will provide review comments within 30 days. The contractor shall revise the document as necessary and submit a draft within 15 days of receipt and resolution of Wisconsin DNR review comments. The draft document will be provided in electronic format, Wisconsin DNR will provide review comments within 30 days of receipt. The Contractor shall revise the document as necessary and submit a draft final within 15 days of receipt and resolution of Wisconsin DNR review comments, if required. The final draft report shall be submitted electronically (in PDF and native Microsoft formats) and may need to be submitted as a red-line document to show revisions based on regulatory comment. Upon Air National Guard and regulatory approval, the final document shall be submitted both electronically and as hard copies. The final report shall include electronic copies inclusive of all appendices and the analytical data deliverable, as discussed above. The Final document shall be provided in an electronic format
5.5 Site Restoration
The area will be leveled and restored such that it matches the profile of the surrounding area. If funding does not allow removal of the entire soil pile, the contractor and COR will agree to a final grade for any soil remaining. At a minimum, the area will be covered with 2 inches topsoil, seeded/sodded, and watered until suitably self-sufficient. Finished grade should be mowable; not to exceed 25% grade. Any remaining soil that remains, leaving a topographic feature, will be sloped before topsoil and sod are applied, at a grade that enables safe mowing.
