1.0 SCOPE

This requirement is for environmental remediation activities at McConnell 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-eight (28) Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites.

NOTE: For purposes of this ORC, the term “Government” includes the Air Force (AF) and 772nd Enterprise Support Squadron (ESS). While regulators are a governmental entity, they are also a third party over whom the AF has no control and, as such, will be referred to as “regulators.”

1.1 Introduction

McConnell AFB is located in Sedgwick County in southern Kansas, adjacent to the southeastern boundary of Wichita. The base occupies approximately 3,100 acres of government-owned and easement land (approximately 2,582 acres are government owned and the remaining approximately 518 acres is leased or controlled by easement). Agricultural land transitioning to residential and commercial usage borders the base to the east and south, while industrial facilities border the north and west. In 1941, the Kansas Air National Guard was the first military unit to use the area for military aviation-related purposes. During World War II, other military units also used the base. The area was officially activated as McConnell AFB in 1951 when the Air Training Command began conducting B-47 combat crew training at the base. The government acquired the airport as a permanent military installation in 1953. The name was changed to Wichita AFB but later renamed to McConnell AFB in 1955. The Strategic Air Command was the host of McConnell AFB from 1958 to 1963. Tactical Air Command served as host until 1972 when the Strategic Air Command regained responsibilities with the 381st Strategic Missile Wing as the host unit. The host unit changed again to the 384th Air Refueling Wing (ARW), which later changed names in July 1987 as the 384th Bombardment Wing, Heavy. In June 1992, the host wing became a component of Air Combat Command and in September 1994, Air Mobility Command acquired responsibility. Currently, the 22nd ARW supports, flies, and maintains the KC-135R “Stratotanker” and the KC-46A Pegasus at McConnell AFB. The KC- 135R and KC-46A provide air-refueling operations worldwide for the U.S. and its allies.

Remediation activities at McConnell AFB are being conducted pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements. Sites located off-base are regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. Regulatory oversight is provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 7;

however, the agency usually defers most RCRA and CERCLA activities to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE).

The Installation is being administered under a RCRA Corrective Action Permit dated 8 August 2007, USEPA RCRA Identification Number KS1571924140. The permit is up for renewal;

however, permit renewal is delayed due to other environmental issues. KDHE will officially

FY23 Version 1.2.6 assume lead agency authority from the USEPA after permit renewal is completed. Until that time, the 2007 permit remains in effect.

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 Section 1.3 of the PWS inclusive of the POs listed 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 – Alternate Objective Site Consideration Summary

• Enclosure 3 – Community Involvement Plan (CIP)

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 cleaned up 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 that are currently in place until no longer required, or an alternate approach

FY23 Version 1.2.6 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 772 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 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. 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 Section 1.3.1 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 (includes contaminants on, under, or sourced at/migrating from the specific sites) without regard to quantity (e.g., plume size, concentrations). 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.

1.2.2 Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection, Remedial Investigation or Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (including Supplemental Investigations), and Decision Document

NOT APPLICABLE

1.2.3 Response Complete or Site Closeout

Table 1 of the PWS identifies RC or SC as PO for selected sites. The Contractor is responsible for achieving these objectives as identified in Table 1 and work described in Section 1.3.2. See PO definitions in Enclosure 1, Acronyms and Definitions. The performance components are described in Section 8.1.3.

1.2.4 Remedial Action-Operation with Optimization

Table 1 of the PWS identifies the following POs utilizing with optimization as follows: 1.

Remedy in Place (RIP) and Remedial Action-Operation (RA-O) with Optimization, 2. DD Amendment (or ESD) with Remedy Implementation and RA-O with Optimization, or 3. RA-O with Optimization as POs for selected sites in accordance with the optimization initiative. The Contractor is responsible for achieving these POs as identified in Table 1 and work described in Section 1.3.2. See PO definitions in Enclosure 1, Acronyms and Definitions.

The optimization and performance components are described in Section 8.1.3.

1.2.5 Remedial Action-Operation and Reduce Life Cycle Cost; Long Term Management and Reduce Life Cycle Cost

NOT APPLICABLE

1.2.6 Remedial Action-Operation or Long-Term Management (as appropriate)

Table 1 of the PWS identifies RA-O or Long-Term Management (LTM) in accordance with the approved DD as the PO for selected sites. The Contractor shall achieve the following objectives for each RA-O and LTM site:

Maintain compliance with all DDs and permits (currently in place or to be approved) throughout the PP. Update or revise site-specific work plans, monitoring plans, and/or DDs, as appropriate.

For RA-O sites, develop performance models addressing all contaminants of concern (COCs) and breakdown products. Refer to Section 8.1.3.1, Performance Models.

Provide a realistic projection to achieve SC or RC after the POP (the Contractor shall identify which PO is the optimal endpoint).

1.2.7 Alternate Objectives

This section and the subparagraphs below describe the Alternate Objective Sites and a general overview of the work associated with these sites. Please see Table 1 and work described in Section 1.3.2 for specific elements of work required for each site with an Alternate Objective PO. These sites have complex attributes that have, to date, inhibited progress towards the achievement of RC. For Alternate Objective sites, as for all sites in Table 1 of the PWS where applicable, the Contractor shall maintain compliance throughout the POP of the contract with all existing regulatory requirements including but not limited to regulations, Federal Facility Agreement, RCRA Permits, final or interim RODs, or other equivalent remedial DDs. The Contractor is responsible for implementing changes to the monitoring program based on activities conducted in the Advanced Site Characterization (PWS Section 1.2.7.1) including the addition and decommissioning of wells in the monitoring well network as agreed by all parties and the addition of new delineation monitoring where new information indicates our understanding of the plumes is changed.

Based on technical review of existing site conditions/activities, the AF placed sites in the category of Alternate Objective if one or more of the following conditions exist:

1. Achieving RC is expected to require substantially longer than 30 years.

2. Achieving RC is unattainable with standard characterization and/or existing remediation technology due to technical or other limitations related to site conditions.

3. Achieving RC is anticipated to require advanced site characterization technologies to improve the Conceptual Site Model (CSM), determine appropriate remedial technology, and/or characterize recently regulated contaminants.

The AF will use data and information obtained during execution of this PWS to determine restoration potential and future investment strategies at Alternate Objective sites. Each Sub- CLIN for the Alternate Objective sites will only be awarded if the activities are needed to determine the future investment strategy for the site. The decision to award each Sub-CLIN resides solely at the discretion of the AF.

For each Alternate Objective site, a summary of site-specific considerations is provided as GFI.

As with all GFI provided, this GFI is provided for informational purposes only; the Contractor remains responsible for developing their own independent, professional conclusions/interpretation of site conditions and requirements to achieve the PO. The Contractor shall conduct project scoping sessions before work plan development and throughout the planning and execution of the project to meet the PO including the Installation Point(s) of Contact (POC[s]), the AFCEC Program Manager (PM) and Remedial Project Manager (RPM), the AF technical support team, and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Upon approval by the AF and the COR, the Contractor shall participate in scoping sessions with the regulators, as appropriate.

1.2.7.1 Advanced Site Characterization

Based on existing data, the AF has determined that the existing remedial approaches at the Alternative Objective sites are not achieving satisfactory remedial progress towards their intended goals. In order for the AF to determine the best path forward for these sites, the Contractor shall conduct Advanced Site Characterization to collect data to update and refine the CSM in order to achieve the following goals: (1) Fill data gaps; and (2) Collect data needed to:

(A) Determine why existing and previous remedial actions are not effective at achieving remedial progress; (B) Determine appropriate remedial technology(ies) based on site conditions;

C) Develop remediation design parameters for recommended technology(ies); and D) Determine extent and concentrations of recently regulated contaminants, if required.

Advanced Site Characterization includes one or more of the following three activities: (1) Supplemental Site Investigation (SSI), (2) Revised CSM, and (3) Groundwater Monitoring Program Update.

1.2.7.1.1 Supplemental Site Investigation

The Contractor shall conduct an SSI to collect data necessary to improve the CSM, determine appropriate remedial technology, support remediation design and construction, and/or characterize recently regulated contaminants. The Contractor shall implement advanced characterization methods, both established approaches and state-of-science techniques consistent with AF, regulatory, Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC), and Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program/Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (SERDP/ESTCP) guidance to attain these objectives. Data collection includes better definition of the geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and/or source(s) and distribution of COCs, as required. The Contractor shall evaluate the need for, and collect the following data where appropriate: (1) Source Zone Delineation; (2) Source Mass/Extent1,2,3; (3) Vertical and lateral extent of contamination, if not sufficiently defined; (4) Plume Stability4; (5) Migration pathway, rates, and fluxes in 3-D; (6) Mass distribution; (7) Biogeochemical conditions and influences on contaminant degradation pathways; (8) Impact of recent and historical remedies on site conditions; and (9) Comprehensive Risk including the vapor intrusion pathway.

The SSI report shall document data collection efforts to include a risk evaluation, if appropriate.

The Contractor shall evaluate and provide recommendations regarding whether additional source control is needed or whether the plume, or portions of the plume, are amenable to natural attenuation by conducting source strength and plume stability evaluations as needed.

1.2.7.1.2 Conceptual Site Model

The Contractor shall develop a revised CSM in 3-D to include establishing or updating existing fate and transport models based on existing data and data gathered during the SSI. The CSM should cover the source area and the distal plume, to include the lateral and vertical extent of the contaminants in the context of geologic/hydrogeological parameters and the remedial actions conducted to date.

1.2.7.1.3 Groundwater Monitoring Program Update

The Contractor shall evaluate the current horizontal and vertical well distribution to determine if the following can be properly evaluated:

Remedy performance in treatment areas

Hydrogeology, plume geometry, horizontal and vertical plume stability, and matrix diffusion across site

Plume migration through use of perimeter/boundary wells and sentinel wells

Based on the well network evaluation coordinated and approved by the Government and regulators (if required), the Contractor shall optimize the monitoring well network to include adjusting sample collection frequency and the addition of new wells as appropriate. The

1.2.7.2 Remedy Evaluation and Recommendation

Based on all existing data and data gathered during the Advanced Site Characterization, the Contractor shall evaluate the existing active and/or passive remedy(ies)5,6,7. The Contractor shall provide recommendations to augment, modify, and/or replace the existing remedy8. The evaluation and recommendations will include a cost-benefit analysis and evaluation of the usability, expandability, and/or discontinued use of any existing infrastructure. All remedy recommendations must include a performance model addressing all COCs and breakdown products. Refer to Section 8.1.3.1, Performance Models.

Where necessary to evaluate the proposed technology, the Contractor shall conduct pilot scale technology demonstrations. The Contractor shall identify appropriate remedial technologies and target zones, design/plan, conduct, and evaluate the pilot and/or field scale technology consistent with AF, regulatory, and ITRC guidance. The Contractor shall determine performance monitoring criteria and identify a control sub-site (current state) for comparison and to evaluate results.

In some instances, achievement of RC may not be feasible with currently available technologies within a reasonable timeframe. If this is the case, Contractor shall develop and evaluate alternatives for site management that will be protective of human health and the environment. If this recommendation is made, it must include the rationale, recommended target when active remediation can cease, and a strategy for obtaining regulatory approval.

1.2.7.2.1 Cost/Benefit Analysis

The Contractor shall provide a cost/benefit analysis for proposed alternatives. Alternatives may include optimizing the remedy in the DD or other remedies with the potential for better performance. All alternatives identified should be evaluated against one another to determine which alternative can achieve RC in the shortest time and has the lowest overall LCC. The cost/benefit analysis should include:

A focused analysis of alternative approaches, to include conceptual designs and engineering cost estimates. The analysis should identify the total cost of executing the optimized remedy (including the plan and reports).

An estimate of the reduction of LCC of each alternative evaluated.

Any risk inherent in implementing the alternative optimized remedy.

A summary comparison of the LCC and risk of each alternative in a cost/benefit analysis that clearly states the recommended alternative.
