This requirement is for environmental remediation activities at Air Force Plant (AFP) 42 and Travis Air Force Base (AFB). 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 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 twenty-seven (27) Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites.
NOTE: For purposes of this ORC, the term “Government” includes the Air Force (AF) and United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 42
AFP 42 is located in Palmdale, CA, north of Pasadena in Los Angeles County. It is located in the northeastern portion of Los Angeles County, California, within the Antelope Valley of the Mojave Desert, approximately 80 miles north of Los Angeles. It covers over 6,600 acres and includes approximately 4.2 million square feet of floor space. AFP 42 includes multiple high bay buildings and airfield access with flyaway capability. The facility also has one of the heaviest load-bearing runways in the world.
AFP 42 is segregated into eight different Plant Sites. Site 1 is currently being operated by Boeing. Sites 2, 7 East (7E) and 7 West (7W) are being operated by Lockheed Martin. Sites 3, 4, 7W and 8 are being operated by Northrup Grumman. Sites 5 and 6 are common areas and are being run by the Air Force.
Remediation activities at AFP 42 is being conducted pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), with the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) and the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) providing regulatory oversight.
Travis AFB Travis AFB is located in northern California, 50 miles northeast of San Francisco, and it is home to the 60th Air Mobility Wing, the largest airlift organization in the United States Air Force (USAF). Travis AFB is named in honor of Brigadier General Robert F. Travis. Travis AFB currently covers approximately 6,368 acres and is bordered by the cities of Vacaville to the north, Fairfield to the northwest, and Suisun City to the west, and by agricultural land to the south and east.
Remediation activities at Travis AFB are being conducted pursuant to CERCLA, as amended by SARA; Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and the California State Water Resources Control Board. Regulatory oversight is provided by DTSC, successor to the California Health Services; the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 9, acting as the lead regulatory agency; and RWQCB, San Francisco Bay Area Region.
The USAF began an effort to identify contaminated sites at Travis AFB in 1983. Contaminated areas and specific sites on base were identified and a Phase II confirmation study was performed in 1986. The USEPA Region 9 placed Travis AFB on the National Priority List (NPL) in 1989.
The USAF signed a Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) with the US EPA Region 9 and DTSC in 1990. The FFA was renegotiated in May 1993 to identify four (4) specific Operable Units (OUs) and a corresponding schedule for each OU. The FFA schedule was renegotiated in October 1995 to combine the North, East Industrial and West Industrial Operable Units (NEWIOU) for the Feasibility Study, Proposed Plan and Record of Decision. The FFA schedule was again renegotiated in July 1996 to separate the groundwater actions from the soil, sediment and surface water actions. Schedules are currently reviewed and updated at each monthly Restoration Program Managers (RPM) meeting and recorded in the Master Meeting and Document Schedule as part of the meeting minutes available at http://www.travis.af.mil/enviro/library/index.asp.
1.2 Overview of ORC Scope and Requirements
The Contractor shall perform all the necessary environmental remediation activities required to achieve the POs of this PWS. This PWS and enclosures listed below include requirements of the project 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 o Enclosure 2C – NOT APPLICABLE
• Enclosure 3 – Government Furnished Property (GFP) 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. 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, while effectively and efficiently managing the program in a performance-based, results-oriented, and cost-conscious framework.
The AF desires that all sites be cleaned up to standards that allow for the current or reasonably anticipated future land use of the property. Hand in hand, 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) and Proposed Plans (currently in place or to be approved)/RCRA Permits until no longer required or an alternate approach is approved. Conduct DD/ROD amendments or modifications 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 USACE, other AFCEC Contractors, and AF personnel; and 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 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 PP specified for each site.
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.
Site specific POs are identified in Section 1.3 Table 1: Performance Table. 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 consistent 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. The ORC Contractor shall assume contractual liability and responsibility for achieving the POs.
