Section C - Performance Work Statement

C.1.0 GENERAL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Established in 1989, the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Environmental Management

(EM) is charged with addressing the environmental legacy of over 50 years of nuclear weapons production and government sponsored research. The EM Mission statement is as follows:

The EM mission is to complete the safe cleanup of environmental legacy resulting from five decades of nuclear weapons development and government-sponsored nuclear energy research.

EM is responsible for managing and directing the cleanup of contaminated nuclear weapons manufacturing and testing sites across the United States. Integral to that responsibility is the need to safely disposition large volumes of nuclear waste, safeguard and prepare for disposition of nuclear materials that could be used in nuclear weapons, deactivate and decommission several thousand radiologically and chemically contaminated facilities no longer needed to support the Department of Energy's mission and remediate extensive surface and groundwater contamination.

DOE EM manages cleanup activities within the Department of Energy’s Idaho Operations Office at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Since its inception in 1949, the INL site has fulfilled numerous DOE missions including designing and testing nuclear reactors; reprocessing spent nuclear fuel to recover fissile materials; managing spent nuclear fuel; and storing, treating and disposing of various waste streams. Currently, EM is a tenant on the site, and the Office of

Nuclear Energy (NE) is the landlord and maintains site-wide infrastructure. The ICP Contractor shall support and implement actions in furtherance of this mission as it relates to the ICP activities.

The ICP involves the safe environmental cleanup of the INL site, contaminated with legacy wastes generated from World War II-era conventional weapons testing, government-owned research and defense reactors, spent nuclear fuel reprocessing, laboratory research, and defense missions at other DOE sites. The ICP is funded through the DOE EM and the project focuses on reducing risks to workers, the public, and the environment, and protecting the Snake River Plain

Aquifer, a sole source aquifer that sustains Idaho’s agricultural industry.

The majority of EM’s cleanup work at the INL site is driven by regulatory compliance agreements. The two foundational agreements are: the 1991 Comprehensive Environmental

Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)-based Federal Facility Agreement and

Consent Order (FFA/CO), which governs the cleanup of contaminant releases to the environment; and the 1995 Idaho Settlement Agreement (ISA), which governs the removal of transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel and high level radioactive waste from the state of Idaho.

Other regulatory drivers include the Federal Facility Compliance Act-based Site Treatment Plan

(STP), and other environmental permits, closure plans, Federal and state regulations, Records of

Decision (RODs) and other implementing documents.

C-7

C.1.1 Contract Purpose and Objectives

The End State Contracting Model (ESCM) is as a single award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the ability to issue both Cost-Reimbursement (CR) and Fixed-

Price (FP) Task Orders (TO). The ESCM was developed as the preferred contracting approach to provide EM the needed flexibility to partner with industry and its stakeholders at this critical juncture of the EM Program to openly negotiate the right end states to reach completion. The purpose of this end state contract is to achieve significant reduction in financial liability and environmental risk that provides the best overall optimal solution towards completion of the DOE-EM mission at the INL site by accomplishing the maximum amount of environmental cleanup in the least amount of time and at the best value to the U.S. taxpayer.

This IDIQ contract construct also provides Idaho the needed flexibility to task the Contractor with using a risk-based approach to better define discrete scopes of work for site closure or end states for more realistic, reliable pricing and appropriate incentive structures to yield significant reductions in EM’s environmental financial liability.

Specific task orders will be issued (Section J attachments) throughout the ten-year contract ordering period to implement various aspects of this master performance work statement. The

CO will issue a Request for Task Order Proposal (RTP) in accordance with the Master IDIQ Contract Section H. 51 Task Ordering Procedure, paragraph (c). The Contractor shall expediently provide the CO with the requested task order proposal(s) that are compliant with FAR Subpart 15.4 and paragraph (f) of the H.51 clause.

The Contractor shall comply with all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, Executive

Orders, DOE Orders (and other type of directives), Regulatory Permits, Agreements and Orders and Regulatory Milestones (both State and Federal) in the performance of this contract.

The majority of the ICP work is performed at two primary INL site locations: the Radioactive

Waste Management Complex (RWMC) and the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering

Center (INTEC). The ICP mission work encompasses: completing treatment of the liquid sodium bearing waste; stabilizing and storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) and High-Level

Waste (HLW); shipping transuranic waste; treating and shipping remote handled waste;

maintaining and operating the INTEC; closing remaining tank farm tanks; maintaining CERCLA remedial actions; and closure of the RWMC.

The scope of the ICP contract is categorized per the following areas:

Facility Infrastructure: This principally includes INTEC and RWMC facility infrastructure. The Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) is the Lead Program Secretarial Office (LPSO) at Idaho and manages site-wide infrastructure.

Environmental Activities: This includes compliance with the Federal Facilities Compliance Act (FFCA) Site Treatment Plan (STP), Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (RCRA), CERCLA, including ISA activities principally at INTEC and RWMC; the remediation of the Subsurface Disposal Areas (SDA) at the RWMC; Test

C-8

Area North (TAN) groundwater remediation; new CERCLA site remediation; site-wide Stewardship; and Idaho CERCLA Disposal Facility (ICDF) transition operations.

Waste Management: This includes shipping Contact Handled (CH)-TRU waste; Remote

Handled (RH)-TRU waste management; Mixed Low Level Waste/Low Level Waste (M/LLW) activities/disposition; and disposition of newly generated waste as needed.

Liquid Waste Facility Closure: This includes IWTU operations to treat nearly 900,000 gallons of sodium bearing waste; completion of the Calcine Retrieval Project; and closure of the HLW Tank Farm tanks and associated liquid waste facilities at INTEC.

Spent Nuclear Fuel: This includes SNF Operations and Management activities, as well as SNF Disposition. This includes the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) License-required activities for the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSI) located at INTEC and the Fort St. Vrain (FSV) ISFSI near Platteville, CO.

Facility Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D).

During the term of this Contract, the ICP Contractor (herein referred to as “the Contractor”) shall interface with the other site contractors. Performance of the ICP scope will require significant and ongoing integration with multiple federal and contractor entities from EM, Office of Nuclear

Energy (NE), and Department of the Navy (Navy) programs to accomplish cleanup without impacting ongoing site missions. The Contractor shall establish interface agreement(s) with other contractors, as necessary, to ensure performance of contract requirements.

Currently, EM is a tenant on the site, and NE is the landlord. The INL site landlord contractor conducting work for NE is referred to as “the INL contractor” and is responsible for site-wide infrastructure. The Contractor shall establish an interface agreement with the INL contractor in accordance with Section J, Attachment J-4, List of INL Mandatory and Optional Site Services.

The Interface Agreement with the INL contractor shall describe how the Contractor and the INL contractor will interface on cross-cutting issues such as security, facility and program transfers, regulatory compliance, assignment of subcontractors, and other commercial obligations, consistently presenting information to the public and other arrangements of mutual benefit.

The Contractor shall also establish an interface agreement with the FSV contractor responsible for providing physical security services for the FSV SNF storage facility under NRC licenses and regulations.

The Contractor shall work cooperatively to ensure a mutual understanding and seek resolutions in the best interest of the Government and the ICP mission. Interface Management is a key function for effective and efficient delivery of services between contractors on the INL site and

FSV. The role of Interface Management is to solve issues in the best interest of the Government at the lowest level possible in the respective organizations.

The Contractor shall submit a Graded Approach for Implementation of Contract Requirements
