1.0 SCOPE
This requirement is for environmental remediation activities at AFP 4. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the scope of environmental services necessary to conduct site restoration under the Optimized Remediation Contract (ORC). The range of activities includes investigation, design, construction of remedial systems, operation and maintenance of established remedies, optimization at applicable sites, and achievement of site-specific objectives. The Contractor shall undertake Environmental Remediation activities to achieve Performance Objectives (POs) at 24 Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites.
NOTE: For purposes of this ORC, the term “Government” includes the Air Force (AF) and 772nd ESS. While regulators are a governmental entity, they are also a third party over whom the Air Force has no control and, as such, will be referred to as “regulators.”
1.1 Introduction
AFP 4 occupies approximately 726 acres in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. The plant manufactures aircraft for the Air Force and is operated by Lockheed Martin. AFP 4 is responsible for groundwater under former Carswell AFB, now Naval Air Station Fort Worth, and golf course, roughly 3,500 more acres. AFP 4 is leased to Lockheed Martin to manufacture F-16s and F-35s. Remediation activities at AFP 4 are being conducted pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Regulatory oversight is provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region VI and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
AFP 4 was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) on 30 August 1990. The Installation is being administered under a Federal Facility Agreement (FFA), dated 31 August 1990.
1.2 Overview of ORC Scope and Requirements
The Contractor shall perform all the necessary environmental remediation activities needed to achieve the performance requirement described in Table 1: Performance Table, and additional scope in 1.3.2. This PWS and enclosures listed below detail the project requirements needed to meet the AF objectives:
• Enclosure 1 – Acronyms and Definitions
• Enclosure 2 – Government Furnished Information (GFI) o Enclosure 2A – Administrative Record Spreadsheet o Enclosure 2B – GFI CD (NOT APPLICABLE)
• Enclosure 3 – Government Furnished Property (GFP)
• Enclosure 4 – Community Involvement Plan (CIP) Guidance The intent of the ORC initiative is to advance site cleanup during the Period of Performance (POP) in the most efficient and cost-effective manner, as supported by a cost-benefit analysis and exit strategy that achieves the greatest reduction in life-cycle cost (LCC). The AF is interested in substantial reduction of long-term environmental liabilities and total LCC.
However, costs should be commensurate with the level of effort required to achieve each PO and all potential technical contingencies within reason. Technical approaches that are simply reduced to a minimal level of effort with no well-planned contingencies provide no insurance to the Government that the POs will be achieved without work stoppages or change orders which is not in keeping with the intent of this performance based contracting effort. The AF is required to implement remedies as necessary to enable the mission, protect human health and the environment, and comply with laws and regulations. The goal of the ORC initiative is to ensure the AF continues to fulfill all facets of its Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) mission, by effectively and efficiently managing the program in a performance-based, results-oriented, and cost-conscious framework.
The AF desires that all sites be remediated to standards that allow for the current or reasonably anticipated future land use of the property. Accurate documentation and reporting of contaminant removal and cost savings are critical adjuncts to optimization success. In keeping with Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32- 7020, the AF defines optimization under the ORC as the reduction of contaminant mass and concentrations, reduction in LCC, or any combination of activities leading to acceleration of Response Complete (RC)/Site Closeout (SC) as a result of remedial implementation the Contractor undertakes, above and beyond what is required to maintain compliance in accordance with an approved Decision Document (DD).
The Contractor shall maintain compliance with all DDs/Records of Decision (RODs)/Proposed Plans/RCRA Permits, local permits, and site access agreements that are currently in place until no longer required, or an alternate approach is approved. The contractor shall conduct DD/ROD amendments or Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) as required to implement new approach(es).
The Contractor shall function as an integral team member in support of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) mission to include the sharing of information with 772nd ESS, other AFCEC Contractors, and AF personnel, in cooperation with community stakeholders, regulators, and other Government entities.
Requirements for efficient management of this contract include, but are not limited to, the achievement of the POs in the Performance Period (PP) per Table 1 and work described in Section 1.3.2 of this PWS, and timely identification and solution of impediments to successful project execution. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, tools, materials, and other items necessary to perform the tasks defined in this PWS. The Contractor is solely responsible for reviewing all available information and forming their independent, professional conclusions/interpretations of site conditions and requirements to achieve the POs of this contract within the PP specified for each site in accordance with Section 3.0. AFCEC will rely on the Contractor’s expertise in recognizing and addressing problematic issues during the execution of this contract. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. The Contractor shall also comply with installation regulations. Remedies shall conform to environmental permits, DD requirements, or other legal requirements. The Contractor shall continue work throughout the entire duration of the POP.
The Contractor’s local office presence will be relied upon to provide rapid-response actions for field activities and on-site meetings.
Site-specific POs are identified in Table 1: Performance Table and in Section 1.3.2. POs that are in keeping with standard DERP milestones are defined in Enclosure 1. In addition, for certain categories of sites, the AF has set POs based on current site conditions and consistency with the POP of the contract and ORC goal.
1.2.1 Scope Discussion and Limits
The scope of this contract is to perform environmental restoration services for the sites listed in Table 1 and Section 1.3.2. The ORC Contractor shall assume contractual liability and responsibility for achieving the POs. If the selected technical approach is not working, as demonstrated by the trends in the performance model, the Contractor shall develop and implement a revised technical approach to achieve the POs, including DD amendments, if required, to implement the remedial approach. This scope includes all known contaminants linked to the specific sites per Table 1 of the PWS (includes contaminants on, under, or sourced at/migrating from the specific sites) without regard to quantity (e.g., plume size, concentrations).
See reference to Section 1.3.2 of this PWS for exclusions. The AF remains statutorily responsible for all sites listed in Table 1 and work described in Section 1.3.2. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations, as well as installation regulations, and is responsible for obtaining certifications and licenses required to complete all aspects of this project. The Contractor has no authority to direct Lockheed Martin personnel. All requests by the Contractor for Lockheed Martin to take any action in support of this contract must be directed to AFLCMC/EZV for approval and issuance of direction to Lockheed Martin through the lease. No exceptions are allowed.

The IMSs shall be submitted electronically to the Contractor’s ORC document repository and in accordance with instructions from the COR. The Contractor shall prepare and maintain the IMS in accordance with the PMP Guidance (latest version).
4.3 Milestone Payment Schedule
The Contractor shall prepare and submit an IMS, from which they will extract the information required to generate an MPS and will submit as two separate files. NOTE: The MPS is not part of the proposal. Award of the contract does not equate to final acceptance of the IMS. The IMS and MPS, including payment milestones and percentages, will be discussed and agreed upon among the Government (AF and Contracting Agent) and Contractor during the review of the initial PMP/IMS/MPS and approved by the COR.
The following are minimum AF requirements for the MPS:
• Presents appropriate milestone payments considered integral and necessary to the achievement of the POs.
• Ties interim and final milestone payments to performance models as described in Section
8.1.3.1 (also see Sections 1.2.4 through 1.2.5).
• Includes a reasonable number of milestone payments per CLIN/Sub-CLIN based on the scope and anticipated duration to achieve CLIN/Sub-CLIN objective and/or PO.
• Aligns with the CLINs/Sub-CLINs in Section B of the award document and includes the following columns:
o Installation Name: Identify EESOH-MIS Installation Name per Table 1.
o EESOH-MIS Site ID: Identify EESOH-MIS Site ID per Table 1 and Site Alias, if applicable.
o CLIN/Sub-CLIN: Identify CLIN and/or Sub-CLIN per Section B of the contract.
Note: Sub-CLINs for compliance activities (routine regulatory requirements to comply with binding agreements) are denoted as ####CX and Sub-CLINs for performance activities (remedial advancement or progress towards the PO) are denoted as ####AX.
o Milestone Payment Identification Number: Include unique number assigned to each milestone payment for tracking purposes.
o Milestone Payment Description: Include detailed description of definable and measurable step considered integral and necessary to the achievement of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN objective and/or PO.
o Milestone Payment Amount: Include negotiated amount ensuring the sum of all milestone payments equals the value of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN per Section B of the contract.
o Milestone Payment Percentage: Include percentage of the milestone payment in relation to the total CLIN/Sub-CLIN value. The final payment milestone(s) within a CLIN/Sub-CLIN demonstrating achievement of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN objective must be a minimum of 20% of the total CLIN/Sub-CLIN value. This may include both the AF approved and regulator approved versions. Milestones should not be front-loaded but instead be commensurate with the work completed.
o Completion Date: Document completion date for each milestone payment consistent with the Finish date presented in the IMS.
o Percent Complete: Identify completion status (0% or 100%) of all milestone payments as approved by the COR.
o Invoice Number: Clearly indicate the invoice number associated with the milestone payment as approved by the COR for the purposes of tracking payment.
This information can be completed as invoices are prepared.
• Excludes unacceptable milestone payments representing a “progress” payment or a monthly payment for level of effort expended including:
o Preparation and/or submittal of documents o Site mobilization/demobilization (unless exempted by CO) o Accomplishment of field activities including the following:
o Substrate/chemical injection o Injection letter work plans o Injection summary memoranda o Field documentation tech memos o Semi-annual cap inspection tech memos o Quarterly and monthly LUC/LTM inspection reports o Quarterly discharge reports o Construction bond o Draft reports o Well construction logs o Payments of Less Than 2% of Sub-CLIN cost o Submittal of a monthly status o Management and overhead costs (e.g., program/project management, monthly reporting, etc.)
o Allocation of PMP, Basewide Quality Program Plan (QPP), or other Basewide costs to specific sites o Multiple draft versions of a document before AF/Regulatory approval
Refer to the ORC PMP Guidance, Section 4.4, for more detailed information on common errors in preparation of the MPS.
The Contractor shall maintain and submit an MPS monthly, in electronic format in accordance with the requirements above and include updates to progress (e.g., Percent Complete, Invoice Number) (see Section 4.4 Cost and Status Reporting). The MPS shall be submitted electronically to the Contractor’s ORC document repository and in accordance with instructions from the COR. The Contractor shall prepare and maintain the MPS in accordance with the CLIN, IMS, and MPS Guidance.
Milestone payments within a CLIN/Sub-CLIN may be revised in response to changes in the approach for achievement of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN objective without a contract modification so long as the changes do not impact the total value or objective of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN. All changes to the MPS, with the exception of tracking invoicing of completed milestone payments, must be approved by the COR. Milestone payments will not be renegotiated if the Contractor is unable to achieve the milestones, CLIN/Sub-CLIN objectives, and/or POs.
Completion of milestones shall demonstrate payment is appropriate and warranted. COR approval of the documentation supporting the completion of the milestone is required for payment. In general, milestones are considered complete upon approval by the AF (and regulators where required). Where regulatory approval or acceptance is required for this documentation, AF approval will occur following regulatory approval of the documentation.
Approval occurs upon final signature of documents requiring signature by the AF and/or regulators. Final decisions regarding the adequacy of milestone completion reside with the AF.
The COR will take into consideration the appropriate approval of necessary documentation by regulators consistent with the applicable regulatory drivers of this PWS.
Milestones must represent tangible progress toward achieving the PO. In general, progress payments are disallowed. Progress payments include payment for interim steps needed to achieve the PO. As an example, milestones for conducting monthly landfill inspections would represent progress payments. Acceptable milestones would be a semi-annual or annual LTM Report of the results of the landfill inspections.
For milestones where regulatory approval is required and cannot be obtained, the AF will evaluate the Contractor’s supporting documents to determine if they are legally and technically acceptable to warrant payment for achieving that milestone.
The Contractor is limited to one invoice submitted to the AF per month. The invoice must itemize the milestone payments for each CLIN/Sub-CLIN associated with the invoice. The Contractor will not receive payment until milestones are achieved in accordance with the MPS.
The AF will not approve partial payments.
Note that AF approval of the first version of a document that will be submitted for regulatory review is a valid milestone. AF and regulatory approval of the final version of that document is also an acceptable milestone.
4.4 Cost and Status Reporting
The Contractor shall prepare and submit a monthly Contractor’s Progress, Status, and Management Report (CPSMR). The CPSMR shall be used to review and evaluate the overall progress of the project, along with any existing or potential problem areas. The report shall be prepared and submitted in an electronic format to the Contractor’s ORC document repository and/or in accordance with the CPSMR Template. The CPSMR shall also be used to indicate whether efforts for each site are on target for meeting the PO. The Contractor shall submit an updated IMS each month with the CPSMR.
4.5 ORC Document Repository
The Contractor shall maintain a document repository for all ORC documents. The repository is intended to be a single access point repository for all ORC documentation. It shall be accessible to stakeholders during the life of the ORC. The Contractor shall provide notifications to AFCEC, COR, and Installation POC(s) at the time data is included in the repository. At close-out, all repository documents will be transferred to DVD media and delivered to AFCEC.
The Contractor shall create and maintain a Master Document List (MDL) that includes all documents, whether the document is a deliverable or not, prepared during the course of this contract. The Contractor shall maintain the project documents for the duration of this contract and transfer custody to the AF within 90 calendar days prior to POP expiration.
4.6 Meeting and Conference Requirements
4.6.1 Meeting/Teleconference Support
The Contractor shall participate in post-award meetings, Project Management Review (PMR) meetings, and teleconferences with the AF as necessary to achieve the POs in this PWS. The Contractor shall coordinate meetings, provide logistical support (e.g., facilities, audio/visual), create and present materials, and lead technical discussions.
The Contractor shall also attend and/or support meetings and teleconferences to discuss technical or regulatory issues, project progress, and status with the AF and regulatory agency representatives. Specifically, the Contractor shall host an internal kick-off meeting with the AF within fifteen (15) calendar days from contract award.

and determine potential community interests.
The Contractor shall also attend and provide both technical and logistical support for annual Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meetings (if needed). In-person status update meetings with the regulators occur twice a year. The contractor will be required to provide a status update at those meetings. Monthly teleconferences shall also be required to discuss in detail progress and any technical or management issues. Also, other periodic meetings/teleconferences shall be required, as necessary. Currently, regulatory meetings occur on a monthly basis for AFP 4.
However, the frequency of meetings may change based on the status of the environmental restoration program. The AF will be present for all technical and public meetings with the regulatory agencies; however, the Contractor shall coordinate the meetings, provide logistical support (e.g., facilities, audio/visual), create and present materials, and lead technical discussions. The Contractor shall clearly identify themselves as “Contractors” in all situations involving stakeholders. The Contractor shall prepare and submit for AF review and concurrence, any presentation materials and agendas for meetings no less than one week (5 working days) prior to the event. The Contractor shall prepare minutes for all meetings attended within 14 calendar days following the event. Travel to/from the Installation and to other continental United States (CONUS) locations for such purposes as meeting attendance, briefings, and/or presentations may be required in support of this remedial action.
