The specific surveillance tasks performed under the surveillance plan will be defined following acceptance of the QCP. The Government reserves the right to modify the surveillance tasks in the QASP at any time. The Government reserves the right to perform QA inspections at any time. QA failure can be defined as workmanship or work products not complying with the WP Addendum, PWS, or not meeting project needs and/or objectives. Failure can also be defined as workmanship not complying with basic safety concepts and other industry safety practices. If any government QA review identifies a process failure or a work product failure, the Contractor will be issued a Corrective Action Request (CAR) or an Engineer Form 6048.

4.1.1 Performance Objective. The objective of Task 1 is for the Contractor to safely and efficiently conduct EFR operations and supporting activities throughout Afghanistan.

4.1.2 General Information.

4.1.2.1 As a result of the drawdown of military operations in Afghanistan a number of camps and bases throughout Afghanistan require downsizing and EFR. Additionally, the U.S. military has closed up to 700 facilities to date; however, many of the closures occurred without the disposing of the camp or base environmental footprint. The primary objective of Task 1 is for the Contractor to reduce the environmental footprint of specific facilities within Afghanistan as authorized by the KO. EFR may include, but shall not be limited to, the demilitarization of relocate-able buildings (RLB), Tension Fabric Structures (TFS), T-wall barriers, Hercules Engineering Solutions Consortium (HESCO) barriers, miscellaneous concrete and/or steel structures, and other regulated materials (ORM) (which may consist of black-water lagoons, petroleum products, petroleum tanks and tank farms, paints, burn pits, etc.). The Contractor may be required to consolidate, transport, or relocate facilities or items listed above. The Contractor shall dispose of all debris materials as necessary. Since originally constructed, the facilities have likely been modified several times. The description and condition of facilities will differ from camp-to-camp due to the nature of how the facilities were constructed and used.

4.1.2.1 Site Locations. The locations requiring environmental footprint reduction may be throughout Afghanistan in and around FOBs. Specific locations shall be as determined by the KO.

4.1.2.2 EFR Teams. It is envisioned that the Contractor would most efficiently and safely perform fieldwork (i.e., EFR operations and supporting activities) via EFR teams similar in size to a military platoon element, approximately 30 personnel, which includes Contractor provided security, medic, and safety personnel. The Contractor will receive task guidance in the form of work order requests from the various customers forward including USAFOR-A. The work order request will flow to through the Government PDT to be reviewed for appropriateness and for prioritization, and to the Contractor for execution. The Contractor shall then execute the requirement void of Government involvement other than QA inspections. The Contractor shall have the capability to decrease or increase the number of teams as dictated by the operational tempo (OPTEMPO), during the execution of Task 1, as authorized by the KO.

4.1.2.3 Potential for Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and MEC Contamination. Many camp and base facilities constructed in Afghanistan to support military operations were constructed under high threat conditions without full consideration for MEC contamination at the locations. As a result, explosive remnants of war (ERW) including unexploded ordnance (UXO) as well as munitions debris (MD) may exist within the facility boundaries; however, any MEC to be encountered should be considered incidental to the EFR process. That is, the primary intent of EFR is not Battle Area Clearances or demining; however, the Contractor must be able to operate in potentially MEC contaminated areas. Normally, when they are available, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) assets will be used to dispose of MEC and ERW items that are encountered; however, the Contractor may be directed to dispose of MEC and ERW encountered should disposal by EOD not be possible. The potential for MEC contamination may vary tremendously from location to location, and within a single location itself. For example, MEC contamination within HESCO barriers or constructed berms may be significantly higher than surrounding areas, particularly those that have been inhabited and used over the years. Additionally, many facilities that have been in place for many years during ongoing military operations in Afghanistan have over time have taken indirect fire (IDF). The types of MEC that may be encountered also varies, most of which originating from previous training, but some from the Russian-Afghani War and other conflicts that have taken place in the region. Due to the history of the region encountering incidental landmines or ICM submunitions cannot be discounted; to date, no MEC have been encountered since EFR began in 2013. In summary, many facilities could still contain explosive hazards through primarily through UXO (a form of MEC) contamination.

4.1.2.4 Differential Premiums. All personnel in theater will receive danger and post differential premiums. Contractor proposed firm fixed prices shall account for all such pay. Labor not performed in theater shall not include these premiums. Post differential pay commences after 42 consecutive days in theater, and is retroactive. Local hire employees or local sub-contract employees will not qualify for pay premiums. The Contractor shall submit a salary pay scale that includes regular, overtime and all premium pay. The salary rate will be based on one year (365 days) and will be prorated for any part of a year worked. The use of a salary pay scale will eliminate the need to keep track of hours worked. The salary rate shall be clearly broken out showing how it was developed – to include the base rate, adjusting for the premiums and uplifts, and other indirect costs (which all shall be clearly identified/broken out in the cost proposal and how they were applied (additionally, the Contractor will provide what the indirect rate is based on and any additional documentation – i.e. approved forward pricing agreement, DCAA audit, etc.).

4.1.3 Government Provided Support.

4.1.3.1 Government Provided Support on Bagram Air Field (BAF). On BAF and Kandahar Air Field (KAF), the Contractor shall provide all management and logistical support with the exception of that is specifically listed below.

- Utilities: Prime power, potable water, wastewater disposal, trash disposal, western style field latrines and hand-washing stations,

- CAC and Afghanistan theater specific cards (note, the CAC and Afghanistan theater specific cards shall be returned by Contractor employees upon completion of project work, typically during out-processing in Afghanistan or at the CRC this item is rate-able in CPARS),

- Army & Air Force Exchange Service Facilities (Military Exchange) (including rationed items),

- Military Banking Facilities and Finance and Accounting Office (F&AO),

- Commissary (including rationed items),

- Billets, if available,

- Messing facilities,

- Customs exemption,

- Emergency medical/dental services (the Contractor shall reimburse the Government for emergency medical/dental services provided),

4.1.3.2 Government Provided Support on Other U.S. Installations in Afghanistan. Government provided support on other US installations in Afghanistan (i.e., other than BAF/KAF) will consist primarily of that provided by the US Army’s Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP), if any support is provided at all. The Contractor shall be completely self-sufficient when support is not available.

4.1.4 Contractor Provided Support.

4.1.4.1 Unless specified otherwise in this PWS herein, the Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, material, and supplies needed to perform Task 1 requirements.
