Scope of Work
EV32, NIROP Fridley, Site 5, O&M, 8a
NIROP Fridley, Minnesota
INTRODUCTION
The goal of this Contract Task Order (CTO) is to allow for the completion of tasks necessary to the Navy Environmental Restoration Program (NERP) at former Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant (NIROP) Groundwater Treatment Facility (GWTF) located at 54 Northern Stacks Drive in Fridley, Minnesota (the former location of NIROP Fridley). These tasks are ongoing and support the management, implementation, and execution of the NERP at NIROP Fridley.
FACILITY’S CERCLA BACKGROUND
The September 1990 NIROP Fridley ROD for groundwater remediation specified hydraulic containment and recovery of TCE-contaminated groundwater (along with other unspecified VOCs) from the NIROP and recovery, to the extent feasible, of groundwater contaminants down-gradient of NIROP. The selected remedy included installation and operation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system. The ROD also specified that contaminated groundwater down-gradient of NIROP Fridley in Anoka County Riverside Park (ACP) would be allowed to dissipate naturally. A groundwater concentration of 100 micrograms per liter (μg/L) of TCE was negotiated with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) as a target for evaluating the effectiveness of hydraulic containment.
The overall GWTF consists of the existing nine extraction wells, a new treatment building consisting of an Eq. tank, air stripping units (ASUs), effluent sump and discharge of treated water to Outfall 020 to the Mississippi River.
OBJECTIVE
This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the Monitoring, Operation, Maintenance & Repairs (MOM&R) needed to continue the remedial action operation (RA-O) at NIROP Fridley.
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC ML) will administer and manage the work described in this SOW. The Contractor will furnish all labor, materials, tools, supplies, equipment, transportation, services, project management, permits, contract/procurement administration, and other appurtenances necessary to execute all work described in this SOW and shall use applicable United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) guidance to the maximum extent practicable.
This task order will be for a one-year base term with the option to extend the term of the order for four (4) additional one-year option periods. A firm-fixed price will be provided for the base year and for each option year. If there are changes to the scope of work over the course of the task order term, a modification proposal will be requested, and once negotiated, the changes will be incorporated into the task order by bilateral agreement.
1.0 WORK ELEMENT 01 – Project Management

7.2 Extraction Well Redevelopment:
The Contractor shall re-develop three extraction wells on an annual basis
• The Contractor is responsible for taking all appropriate corrective measures to prevent and/or restore flow through extraction well screens, extraction well pumps and/or drop pipes, or groundwater extraction pipe. The Contractor shall perform extraction well redevelopment, extraction pump and drop pipe cleaning/replacement, and extraction line pigging, as necessary, to maintain the desired flow at each extraction well and through the system as a whole.
• The Contractor should plan to re-develop three extraction wells on an annual basis under the major service calls.
7.3 Waste Disposal:
The Contractor shall be responsible for all Waste and IDW disposal. Disposal shall be in accordance with all applicable state, federal, and local laws.
7.4 Training Requirements:
The Contractor must provide staff that clearly understand and are capable of repairing the complex GWTF’s systems with minimal guidance. The complexity of the automated control, regulation, and safety shutdowns requires an understanding of electronic controls.
• Personnel have the potential to be exposed to Trichloroethylene (TCE, CAS 79-01-6) and daughter products contaminated media. The OSHA approved 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations Training course (29 CFR 1910.120) is required for all workers in this environment. Work will be performed at “Treatment, Disposal and Storage Facility” (TDSF). The appropriate level of medical surveillance and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) training are required by the O&M Manual and must be documented to the Navy.
• The Navy prefers that staff responsible for the execution of this SOW, specifically the O&M of the GWTF systems, are local to the Fridley/Minneapolis-St. Paul area to allow for timely response to system alarms, emergency actions, and on-call responses. To the extent practicable, the Navy prefers that staff be dedicated to the O&M of the GWTF system to minimize operator errors and less than optimal system performance.
It is anticipated that on-the-job (OTJ) training be available for the incoming contractor (80 hrs is needed).

The utility (electricity, natural gas, water, sewer and stormwater) services are in the name of the prime contractor and is paid by the same on behalf of the Navy. The Navy’s systems have separate electric meters that are read to determine the Navy’s usage and associated cost. The Navy (via the Contract) will reimburse the prime contractor for this payment.
The Contractor will monitor monthly usage of utilities and compare usage to the quantities indicated on the bills submitted to the Navy for payment.
The Contractor shall be responsible for all utility costs and billing up until the system operation end date of 7/31/2027. If actual utility costs are less than the awarded amount for this line item, funds for this work element will be used towards repairs to supplement service calls. If actual utility costs are greater than the awarded amount for this line item, any number of available service calls may be used to cover the actual utility costs overage. However, if the overage is significant and there are insufficient service calls to cover this overage, the KO must be brought into the discussion to determine if the overage should be compensated.
The Contractor is responsible for the dedicated internet service that allows communication with site’s SCADA system from a remote location. The cost for this service is incidental to the operation of the GWTF and should be included in the unit cost. The Contractor shall provide the actual cost each month for cost estimating assume $100,000.00 for the year.
9.0 WORK ELEMENT 09 – Data Validation &
Reporting
