SAMPLE PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT –

PHASE 1 ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT

1. GENERAL INTENTION AND REQUIREMENTS:

A. Purpose: To prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the Department of

Veterans Affairs (VA) proposed easement at the Perry Point VAMC (see Appendix A). The ESA for the proposed easement should be a separate, stand-alone document. The purpose of the assessment is to satisfy the following objectives:

• Identify potential environmental risk, liability and public health considerations associated with a property.

• Complete all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of a property pursuant to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, E1527-05.

• Identify whether a reasonable possibility exists that hazardous waste or hazardous materials were either disposed on or released to the environment or in the vicinity of the property.

• Review commonly known information about the property and investigate by obvious inspection.

B. Range: A Phase I Site Assessment is conducted to determine or discover the obvious presence or likely presence of a hazardous material which has been released or is likely to be released on the site. The range of contaminants considered should be consistent with the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and should include petroleum products.

C. Proposed Action: VA proposes to enter into an easement agreement for this site with a private-sector developer who will finance, design, develop, construct, operate, and maintain a solar field.

2. TASKS, DELIVERABLES, AND SCHEDULE:

A. General Format: The format of the Phase I Site Assessment will be developed according to requirements set forth in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, E1527- 05, consistent with a level of care and skill ordinarily practiced by the environmental consulting profession currently providing similar services under similar circumstances. The ASTM Practice consists of the following four components: records review, site reconnaissance, interviews, and report. At a minimum, the ESA will include an evaluation of the following:

• Physical setting characteristics of the site through a review of referenced sources such as topographic maps and geologic, soils and hydrologic reports.

• Usage of the site, adjoining properties and surrounding area through a review of reasonably ascertainable historical sources such as land title records, fire insurance maps, city directories, aerial photographs, prior reports and interviews.

• Observations and interviews regarding current site usage and conditions including: the use, treatment, storage, disposal or generation of hazardous substances, petroleum products, hazardous wastes, nonhazardous solid wastes and wastewater.

• Observations and interviews regarding usage of adjoining and surrounding area properties and the likely impact of known or suspected releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products from those properties on the site.

• Information in ASTM-specified environmental agency databases and local environmental records, within the ASTM-specified approximate minimum search distance from the site.

• Preparation of a written report that includes findings, opinions, conclusions and supporting documentation.

B. Additionally, the format should include what the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Method E-1527-2005 refers to as “Non-Scope” environmental issues. These may include a desktop review of matters such as asbestos, leaded paint, radon, mold and other conditions that may either present a hazard of injury or a financial liability. At a minimum, these Non-Scope issues will include an evaluation of the following:

• Visual observation of suspect ACM consisting of providing an opinion on the condition of suspect ACM on the property based upon visual observation during the site reconnaissance without collection of any bulk samples. Review any previously prepared asbestos data (surveys and abatement reports) that are made available, conduct an observation of the building materials, and interview the building manager and/or engineer.

• Radon document review, consisting of the review of published radon data with regard to the potential for elevated levels of radon gas in the surrounding area of the property, without the collection of any samples.

• Lead in drinking water data review, consisting of contacting the water supplier for information regarding whether or not the potable water provided to the property meets or exceeds drinking water standards for lead, without the collection of any samples.

• Wetlands document review, consisting of a review of a current National Wetlands Inventory map of the surrounding area to note if the property is identified as having a wetland.

• Flood plain document review, consisting of a review of a reasonably ascertainable flood plain map of the surrounding area to note if the property is identified as being located within a flood plain.

C. Report Description: The Consultant shall follow the recommended report format described in

Appendix X2, Recommended Table of Contents and Report Format, of the ASTM Practice.

D. Deliverables: The Consultant shall prepare a draft and final Phase I Site Assessment for VA review. These reports shall present the information required above and include an Executive Summary written in layman’s language with limited technical terminology. Statistical or scientific terminology should not be used without providing explanatory information. A glossary of terms or explanations must be provided.

The Consultant shall incorporate any revisions identified by VA prior to the final report. The timeframe of each review submission and number of printed copies shall be as follows:

SUBMISSION DELIVERY

Draft Review 45 calendar days after issue of NTP Final Review 75 calendar days after issue of NTP Final Report 15 calendar days after receipt of VA comments

An electronic file of the report shall be provided at each review submission in Microsoft Word.

3. EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS:

A. Personnel: All key personnel to be committed to this work must have educational background, work experience, and as directed in Credentials, ASTM Practice 1527-00, §11.12.

SAMPLE CULTURAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE SURVEY /

SECTION 106 CONSULTATION SUPPORT

I. Background and Purpose

The U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) intends to amend its existing supportive housing Enhanced-Use Lease (EUL) at the Perry Point VA Medical Center, as well as enter into an easement to allow the EUL Lessee to develop a solar field in support of the EUL housing.

The solar field site has been identified and its boundaries are approximated in Section III of this PWS (“Site” or “project area”).

II. Work to be Performed:

I. Standards and Responsibilities The contractor is responsible for having a current knowledge of the requirements of the local jurisdiction connected with the services described herein. The contractor must hold the appropriate licenses in the state where the study area is located. The contractor must demonstrate their assigned staff meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Historic Preservation Professional Qualification Standards (36 CFR 61).

II. Scope The Contractor shall perform all work described in this PWS for the above noted easement site:

• Background Research - The contractor will examine readily available data pertinent to the history, prehistory, ethnography, and environment of the study area, including but not necessarily limited to the SHPO, local public library, historical society, or local university to develop a general understanding of the site area and how it may have changed through time, to identify previously recorded archeological and historic properties, and to generate the information and perspectives needed to predict the likely presence or absence of resources and the likely character of impacts, if any.

• Identification of Experts and Consulting Parties - The contractor will identify experts and other Consulting Parties (CP) likely to be interested in and knowledgeable about the history, archaeology, and culture of the area, including but not limited to relevant local government officials and offices (determine whether the study area is within the boundaries of a Certified Local Government (CLG)), Indian tribal governments, academic interests, and state, local, and other historical, architectural, and archaeological organizations.

• Fieldwork - The contractor will inspect the study area to the extent feasible from areas normally open to the public, and without conducting excavations or other modifications of the land, landscaping, buildings, or structures, to document the general character of each area and its buildings, structures, and other cultural features.

III. Deliverables The contractor will prepare and provide to VA a report based on the results of the activities listed above, addressing the following questions with respect to the study area (see Appendix A), and including all pertinent supporting documentation:

a. What is the recommended area of potential effect (APE) within the project area? Describe area and justify boundaries, and include a map showing the APE.

b. What is the likelihood that any district, site, building, structure, object, landscape, or landform wholly or partly within the study area may be included in or eligible for inclusion for the National Register of Historic Places? Include citations for, and copies of, any evaluations or studies that are reviewed and referenced.

c. What is the likelihood that other kinds of cultural resources (e.g., significant local sociocultural groups or activities, religious practices, cultural institutions, documents, artifacts, etc.) exist or occur in the APE?

d. If such eligible properties or other cultural resources are likely to exist in the APE, what likely effect would construction of the project have on them (adverse or not)?

e. Who are the CPs whom VA should consult with about cultural resource issues with respect to this project (includes as much contact information as possible)? Which federally recognized tribes (Tribes) are likely to have an interest in the study area? At a minimum, consult the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s Tribal Directory Assessment Tool (TDAT) to determine which Tribes are identified in the appropriate counties for the project.

f. What recommendations do you have for further study or other actions, if any, including minimizing or mitigating any potentially negative impacts?

Include in the report a draft letter (VA letterhead and VA envelopes) to each CP identified in (e) above to initiate Section 106 consultation for the proposed undertaking. The letter(s) should include a finding per the following criteria:

• No historic properties affected (36 CFR 800.4(d)(1)), i.e., 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)), i.e., historic properties identified in the APE would be affected but not adversely; or

• Adverse effect to historic properties (36 CFR 800.5(d)(2)), i.e., 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 it is determined that the project will have an adverse effect on identified historic properties, then the vendor will assist VA in the development of appropriate mitigation measures (i.e.

Memorandum of Agreement or Programmatic Agreement) pursuant to internal discussions with VA as well as all support services for its eventual execution. If the SHPO where the site is located has a Section 106 project submittal form that is a substitute for a typical consultation letter the form will be completed and the PM will be informed of the appropriate submittal procedures (hard copy, email, or electronic, etc.). The submittal of these draft letters/forms to external parties, will be the responsibility of VA staff only, unless otherwise directed to the contrary by the appropriate VA staff.

IV. Section 106 Consultation Letters to Consulting parties In addition, the Vendor will include in the report a draft letter to each party identified, to initiate NHPA consultation for the proposed undertaking. The letter(s) should include a finding and the documentation listed at 36 CFR § 800.11(d)(1-3) or (e)(1-6), as appropriate. The vendor will be responsible for determining what is the appropriate submittal format for Section 106 consultation letters for the corresponding SHPO. If the SHPO where the site is located has a form (i.e.

online or hard copy) it typically uses to conduct Section 106 consultation, the Vendor will complete that form. The Vendor is not to submit these draft letters/forms to external parties, unless directed by VA. The VA will review and sign these letters after providing the contractor with edits and approval. The vendor will then send on the Government’s behalf pursuant to that particular SHPO’s required submittal procedures (i.e. hard copies, email or electronic system).

The vendor will provide documentation of the submittal date and tracking dates of when the SHPO and CPs have received the consultation letters to adequately estimate the initiation of the regulatory 30-day review period.

V. Deliverable Format & Schedule Except as specified otherwise in this PWS, all items shall be delivered to VA electronically. All deliverable documents will be delivered to VA in Microsoft Word 2020 or later (or native format for graphics and spreadsheets) and Adobe PDF formats. Files must be delivered in electronic formats that can be revised or updated by the government. Documents destined for wider 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 8-1/2" by 11" 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" by 17" and have the same design as the 8 1/2" by 11" 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 and would be specified in the task order details.

The contractor will provide the following deliverables and meet the milestones on the schedule provided below:

I. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this Performance Work Statement is to obtain American Land Title Association (ALTA) survey services related to real property interest in the land identified in Appendix A.

II. WORK TO BE PERFORMED

A. Scope. The Contractor shall perform all work as hereinafter specified. Incident to such services, the Contractor shall conduct all fieldwork necessary to determine accurately the physical conditions existing on the Site and shall obtain requisite information from the land records. The primary work is a boundary survey to current ALTA/NSPS standards including a metes and bounds description of the property, plus a plan depiction of all boundaries, and clearly identify location of all easements, rights-of-way, and other recorded encumbrances and utilities. Additionally, the Contractor shall demarcate on the survey for each site any areas where the site lies within a FEMA flood zone and note any encumbrances or visible utilities not of record. To the extent this Scope conflicts with ALTA/NSPS standards, the ALTA/NSPS standards shall prevail.

The survey drawings and written metes and bounds perimeter description shall conform, whenever possible, to the outside boundaries depicted on the map attached to this Performance Work Statement Work and through coordination with the owner or representative of the Site.

All field notes and office computations are to be kept in a neat and orderly manner, clearly indexed. Such records shall be open for inspection and checking during the course of the work, and the Contractor shall maintain the same for a period of three (3) years after completion of the contract.

Metes and Bounds/Legal Description: A written metes and bounds perimeter description of the following is to be shown and certified on the survey drawing, as well as on a separate Microsoft Word document that is delivered with the survey:

a. The parcel of land being surveyed.

b. Existing easements to which the parcel is subject (sewer lines, water mains, gas mains, power lines, etc.), described by bearings and distances.

Boundaries: Show point of beginning, bearings, distances, and interior angles. Closure computations shall be furnished with the survey drawing, and error of closure shall not exceed one foot for each 10,000 feet of lineal traverse. Boundaries of an unusual nature (curvilinear, off-set, or having other change of direction between corners), shall be referenced with curve data (including measurement) and such information shall be shown on the survey drawing.

Encroachments: Encroachments on boundary lines shall be determined by measurement and clearly shown on the survey drawing.

Local Regulations: If any local regulations exist, they should be complied with when referencing the boundaries of the area to an established system or coordinates.

Areas: Upon final establishment of the property lines, the area of the parcel shall be computed in acres and indicated on the survey drawing.

Markers and Monuments: Reference the marks on property lines that are extended on curbs or sidewalks and show locations of cuts and offset distances on the survey drawing, where possible and if applicable. If corner monumentation does not exist, include installation of iron pins on each outside corner of the Site. If corner is inaccessible, set iron pin in line and offset from corner. If buildings preclude setting such iron pins, set iron pins in property lines extended in curbs or sidewalks.

The preceding shall not be construed as requiring iron pins at block corners where public streets extend into or through the site, such as where property on both sides of any such street or road is within the parcel. If the corner of the parcel boundary is not accessible, the iron pin shall be offset and carefully referenced to the true corner. Offset iron pins shall be located within the parcel. The survey drawing shall show the precise position and description of each pin or monument.

Show all monumentation and markers on the survey.

Orientation: The Site shall be oriented with north on the top of the sheet. One major boundary shall be parallel to an edge of the sheet. When possible, the bearing given should refer to the true astronomical meridian so that the same may be re-established with accuracy. Magnetic bearings should be avoided. The north point must be shown on the drawing.

Platting: The drawing shall be accurately drawn and all data shown thereon shall be scaled and platted in correct relative position.

Titles: All titles shall be positioned in the appropriate location on the standard drawing sheets.
