PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

VA requires a contractor to conduct environmental and historic studies at the Togus VA Medical Center (VAMC) at a location proposed for development as a Fisher House. The Togus VAMC is located at 1 VA Center, Augusta ME 04330.

General Kickoff Teleconference A project kickoff teleconference will be held within five business days of task award to review scopes, schedules, reporting, deliverables, and coordination for all base tasks. Participants will include the Contracting Officer, VA’s Contracting Officer’s Representative, key VA project staff, the contractor team’s prime and any subcontractor project managers, and key contractor technical staff.

Deliverable Format (All Subtasks) Except as specified otherwise in this scope of work (SOW), all items shall be delivered to VA electronically.

All draft and final deliverable documents will be delivered to VA in Microsoft Word 2016 or later (or native format for graphics and spreadsheets) for ease of VA review and commenting, and also as Adobe PDF files for final reports. Files must be delivered in electronic formats that can be revised or updated by the government. Documents destined for public distribution shall also be 508-compliant. If the file is larger than 20 megabytes, the document(s) must be delivered by a file-sharing site accessible to VA.

Revised documents shall include Word files with both a clean version and a version showing tracked changes. The government review of draft deliverables will focus on ensuring that the document meets VA requirements. The contractor may be required to adequately address issues overlooked; supplement, improve, or modify analyses; address readability and editorial issues; and make factual corrections.

When a hard copy is required by coordinating/consulting agencies or parties: All hard copy documents, maps, and illustrations must be of high quality and easily reproducible on standard or color copiers. Hard copy documents will be double-sided on 8.5- by 11-inch paper. Maps identifying the location of the project will be included within the document and may be used along with tables, figures, and illustrations throughout the document to display project-related information more efficiently. Fold-out pages should be avoided. If these are necessary, they will be no larger than 11 inches by 17 inches and have the same design as the 8.5- by 11-inch graphic pages and will be approved by the government before document preparation. All pages of the documents will be appropriately numbered and inserted into a three-ring binder. For submissions to regulatory agencies, the required format may supersede these details.

Performance Period One Year Place of Performance The primary place of performance will be at the contractor’s facilities; however, travel to the project site will be required to complete the onsite studies.

Subtask 1: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment The contractor will conduct a Phase I environmental site assessment (ESA) of the subject property (estimated to be 1.25 acres plus additional approximately 2,500 linear feet along established roadway for utility connections) with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products. The Phase I ESA will be conducted in accordance with ASTM E1527-21 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. The Phase I ESA shall be conducted by an environmental professional who meets the requirements specified in Appendix X2 of the standard. The Phase I ESA shall include all components identified in the standard and meet all specifications and methodologies described in the standard. Study components generally include records review; site reconnaissance; interviews with past and present owners, operators, and occupants; interviews with state and/or local government officials; and evaluation and report preparation. The report will follow the recommended table of contents provided in the standard, and will identified recognized environmental conditions (RECs), controlled RECs, and historical RECs, using the criteria for each defined in the standard. If observed or otherwise identified, the report will also identify any de minimis conditions and business environmental risks. The report will identify data gaps and recommendations for additional site investigation to address RECs.

The report will include a table with the following format, with an entry for every regulatory database finding within the respective minimum search distance as listed in Table 2 of ASTM E1527-21. This includes all listings identified in the “Mapped Sites Summary Table” and “Orphan Summary” in an EDR “Radius Map Report” or comparable if another equally comprehensive regulatory database review approach is used:

A1 A2 ABC Fuel Stop (current) XYZ Gas (previous) 123 Main Street

Note that “distance from site” is not a basis for dismissing a potential REC if it is within the ASTM-specified search radius in Table 2 of ASTM E1527-21.

Additional scope item #1—PFAS: In addition to the in-scope considerations identified in the ASTM E1527-21 standard, the Phase I ESA report will specifically address whether any past or present activities, uses, releases, or documents indicate the subject parcel or properties in its vicinity may be associated with ongoing or prior environmental releases of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS. Certain PFAS are proposed for listing as hazardous substances under CERCLA but remain in the category of “emerging contaminants” at the time of this document. Research for this topic will include a 0.5-mile search radius and will include but not be limited to a review of past uses of the subject property and adjacent properties, as well as data available at EPA’s PFAS Analytic Tools (https://awsedap.epa.gov/public/extensions/PFAS_Tools/PFAS_Tools.html) and other public sources.

Additional scope item #2—Tier 1 vapor encroachment screen (VES): In addition to the in-scope considerations identified in the ASTM E1527-21 standard, the Phase I ESA report will include the findings of a Tier 1 VES using the methodology specified in ASTM E2600-15 Standard Guide for Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions.

The contractor will meet the following milestones to provide the deliverables listed below for the Phase I ESA.

*NTP = notice to proceed.

Subtask 2: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment The contractor will conduct a Phase II ESA to investigate the findings of the corresponding Phase I ESA as well as the known prior use of the location for land disposal of sludge from the former onsite wastewater treatment plant. For purposes of submitting a technical and price proposal, the investigation is assumed to consist of the following:

· Prepare a draft sampling, analysis, and site management plan for review/discussion with VA, generally to include the following:

· pre-field-work utility locates

· nine soil borings within the Fisher House development footprint only (exclusive of utility line locations) to depth for evaluating exposure from direct soil contact (24 inches)

· detailed planning for proper and compliant disposal of all investigation-derived waste including, as needed, waste characterization, waste hauler vendor arrangement and/or coordination with VAMC staff to manage within existing VAMC waste management procedures.

· Conduct field investigation in accordance with final sampling, analysis, and site management plan.

· Laboratory analysis of soil samples for appropriate suite of contaminants responding to past WWTP sludge application as well as any contaminants of potential concern identified in the Phase I ESA. An initial suite of contaminants will be included in the offeror’s technical proposal, with a final list to be drafted and approved by VA in the sampling, analysis, and site management plan.

· Draft a report that includes field sampling methods, a site diagram of sampling locations keyed to sample IDs, a summary table of lab results including relevant state and federal residential screening levels for each analyte for ease of evaluation, field notes, laboratory reports, and other relevant information.

· The contractor will address all VA comments on the draft report and provide a final report.

· The technical scope and associated price for Subtask 2 will be reviewed for applicability to the Phase II ESA scope that is indicated by the Phase I ESA findings. Modifications may be required to refine:

· Number of soil borings.

· Specific contaminants for laboratory analysis.

· Other investigation parameters.

· The inclusion of a Tier 2 VES consistent with the methodology in ASTM E2600-15, if the Tier 1 VES (included in the Phase I ESA scope) identified a potential vapor encroachment condition.

The contractor will meet the following milestones to provide the deliverables listed below for the Phase II ESA.

Subtask 3: Phase I Archaeological Survey The contractor should be prepared to survey the Area of Potential Effect, including the approximately 1.25-acre Fisher House site, following state standards and guidelines for archaeological investigations. Utilities to the Fisher House would be installed alongside the road, and VA assumes that archaeological testing will not be possible in the utility footprint, but this area (approximately 2,500 linear feet) will be included within the APE for Section 106 consultation purposes (see subtask 4). The contractor will identify all potential historic and prehistoric archaeological resources within the subject parcel. All work must be completed by individual(s) meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards (36 CFR Part 61).

All work must also be consistent with the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), National Historic Preservation Act, and other applicable federal and state laws.

Research and Field Activities Prior to conducting fieldwork, the contractor must perform an archival records search using files from appropriate state and local databases, Government Land Office documents, and any additional resources that the contractor has reason to believe may have information of the history for the property. Sources consulted must be identified in the survey report.

The reconnaissance/survey must include a comprehensive visual inspection of the ground surface.

For archaeological resources that are identified through records search or field survey, subsurface testing will be conducted in accordance with any state guidelines that determine depth, boundaries, and type of resource and guide the survey work.

All collected artifacts are VA property. The contractor will provide recommendations to VA on the disposition of artifacts, including the possibility of disposal of particular material remains of insufficient archaeological interest, pursuant to 36 CFR Part 79. This scope of work assumes as many as 50 artifacts are collected.

If human remains are encountered, the contractor shall immediately stop work, protect the site, and notify the CO and local law enforcement authorities of the situation.

All ARPA permits will be completed by the contractor for any subsurface testing likely to produce archaeological resources as defined in ARPA. The contractor will advise VA if required and draft/obtain all required permits.

Survey Report and Correspondence All archaeological research, field reconnaissance/survey details, and subsurface testing will be documented in a detailed written draft survey report. A set of project maps showing areas surveyed and the location(s) of archaeological resources shall be prepared by the contractor and included in the report. The report will include a bibliography that lists all sources consulted during the project. All archaeological resources that are identified will be included in the report, along with the contractor’s recommendations and supporting rationale as to whether each resource is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Such recommendations must cite and follow 36 CFR Part 60 and any relevant National Register Bulletin(s); see http://www.nps.gov/nr/publications/index.htm. The report will follow the requirements specified by current Secretary of the Interior standards and applicable state historic preservation office (SHPO) guidelines. The report will include any SHPO site forms for each archaeological site identified, prepared in accordance with state guidelines.

The draft report shall be edited by the contractor to be reasonably free of error and must use figures, charts, graphs, and tables to summarize site data. The report shall be formatted with a one-inch top and bottom margin and a 1.25-inch binding margin.

The contractor will address VA comments on the draft survey report and prepare a revised survey report, in the format required by the SHPO (including required number of hard copies, bound as required), for review by the SHPO. The contractor will ship the hard copy report(s) to the SHPO, as directed by VA and including a VA-signed transmittal letter.

The contractor will address any SHPO comments on the submitted survey report and prepare a final survey report in the format required by SHPO guidelines (including required number of hard copies, bound as required). One bound copy (and one additional copy if required by SHPO), including any site forms in an appendix, and one electronic copy of the final archaeological survey report will be submitted by the contractor to VA. The contractor will ship the hard copy report to VA (and SHPO, if required) and include a VA-signed transmittal letter. The final reports shall be printed on 8.5- x 11-inch acid-free, fully white, offset 60# paper.

The contractor will meet the following milestones to provide the deliverables listed below for the Phase I archaeological survey.

Subtask 4: Section 106 Consultation Support The contractor will provide a draft letter (VA letterhead and VA envelopes) to initiate the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 consultation for the proposed undertaking. For each consulting party and tribe, the contractor will draft correspondence (VA letterhead and VA envelopes, when hardcopy is required) to identify stakeholder interest that will assist VA in meeting its compliance requirements for Section 106 and other applicable laws. The contractor shall address VA comments on the draft letter(s) and shall prepare final letter(s). The submittal of these letters to external parties will be the responsibility of VA staff only, unless the contractor is otherwise directed by the appropriate VA staff.

The letter(s) should include a finding per the following criteria:

· No historic properties affected (36 CFR 800.4(d)(1)), that is, either no historic properties were identified in the APE or historic properties identified in the APE would not be affected; or

· No adverse effect (36 CFR 800.5(b)), that is, historic properties identified in the APE would be affected but not adversely; or

· Adverse effect to historic properties (36 CFR 800.5(d)(2)), that is, historic properties identified in the APE would be affected adversely.

Documentation shall be consistent with 36 CFR 800.11(d) for findings of no historic properties affected or 36 CFR 800.11(e) for findings of no adverse effect or adverse effect, as appropriate.

If the SHPO has a project submittal form that is a substitute for a typical Section 106 consultation letter the form will be completed and VA will be informed of the appropriate submittal procedures (hard copy, email, or electronic).

The contractor shall address VA comments on the draft letter(s) and project submittal form, and prepare final letter(s) and project submittal form. The submittal of these letters/forms to external parties will be the responsibility of VA staff only, unless the contractor is otherwise directed by the appropriate VA staff.

Optional Subtask 5: Phase II Archaeological Investigation - NRHP Eligibility/Significance Testing Survey Planning and Consultation For all sites identified in the Phase I, complete a subsurface survey and testing sufficient to determine their horizontal and vertical boundaries, their cultural and scientific importance, and the sites' eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Upon completion of the fieldwork, all sites must be assessed as "eligible" or "not eligible." Terms such as "potentially eligible" are not acceptable at the completion of Phase II investigations.

Phase II investigations include intensive primary literature and records reviews and evaluations to identify all known archaeological and historical sites in the project area. For terrestrial sites, systematic shovel testing should be conducted to clearly delineate the vertical and horizontal boundaries. Test units are the primary method to be used to assess site significance. Shovel testing and test units may be augmented by controlled surface collecting, auger testing or probes, and large-scale block excavations. Magnetometers and other remote sensing devices may be employed for locating subsurface features.

Requirements The results of the archaeological research should be documented in a detailed written report in accordance with the current Secretary of the Interior Standards and SHPO guidelines. The draft will be provided to VA for submission to SHPO for review and comments will be incorporated. Final reports will be provided to VA for submission to SHPO.

1. One bound copy of the report will be provided to VA, along with an electronic copy.

2. A set of project maps showing areas surveyed and the location of the archaeological resources shall be prepared by the contractor and included with this report.

3. The final report shall be printed on 8.5x11 acid-free paper with one-inch top and bottom margins and a 1.25-inch binding margin. The report text shall be printed on fully white, offset 60# paper. The reports shall be edited by the contractor to be reasonably free of error. The reports must summarize the site data using figures, charts, graphs, and tables to present the information in an easy–to-understand way. The contractor will provide draft letters for VA to send to state, tribe, or local officials to further the consulting process. VA will approve and send the letters.

4. Include a bibliography that lists all sources consulted during the project.

5. All SHPO site forms will be in conformance with the guidelines and will be prepared and submitted for each archaeological site identified.

6. A final report that addresses all the comments resulting from the review process will be submitted to VA and corrections will be incorporated into the final report. Three bound copies and one electronic copy of the final archaeological report and two copies of the site forms will be submitted by the contractor to VA. Two copies of the final report will be mailed by VA to the SHPO.

7. All work must be consistent with the ARPA, National Historic Preservation Act, and other applicable federal and state laws. Work must be completed by individual(s) meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for Archaeology, 36 CFR Part 61.

8. All collected artifacts are VA property. The contractor will provide recommendations to VA on the disposition of artifacts, including the possibility of disposal of particular material remains of insufficient archeological interest, pursuant to 36 CFR Part 79. This scope of work assumes as many as 100 artifacts are collected.
