STATEMENT OF WORK
FOR
REMOVAL OF EXISTING STRUCTURAL BURN TRAINER / PURCHASE
AND INSTALLATION OF STRUCTURAL BURN TRAINER
1. DESCRIPTION:
a. Scope: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, material, transportation, labor, and supervision required to remove and replace the existing structural burn trainer.
b. Location: Louis F. Garland Fire Training Academy (Bldg. 3453) on Goodfellow AFB, TX.
2. PERSONNEL: Contractor personnel shall present a neat appearance and be easily recognized. This may be accomplished by wearing distinctive clothing bearing the name of company or by wearing appropriate badges that contain the company name and employee name.
3. QUALITY CONTROL: The contractor shall ensure that all work performed under this Statement of Work (SOW) meets the quality established in paragraph 9, General Tasks, and paragraph 10, Specific Tasks of this statement of work.
4. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: The contractors shall comply at all times with base law enforcement and security requirements to include base pass requirements.
a. Contractor Installation Access Pass. Before arrival, a government identification card-holding person from the sponsoring agency, base contracting office/administrator or applicable local project manager will submit a request for base access using the wing’s Base Access List (BAL) memorandum as a form of registration for each credential applicant. The base sponsor/sponsoring agency/contract officer and the contracted management team should establish an accountability process to account for each applicant, to oversee the BAL process, and to retrieve installation passes when access is no longer required. Base sponsors/sponsoring agencies or contract officers will ensure the BAL is accurate, it is signed and forwarded to the 17 SFS Pass & Registration section for completion of the vetting and fitness determination processes. The BAL should be delivered to Pass & Registration, located at the Visitor Control Center (VCC). When delivery is not possible, the BAL may be forwarded to Pass & Registration via a “.mil” email account located on Goodfellow AFB. The BAL will include pertinent visitor information, reason for entry, frequency of entry, destination, times each day requiring entry, and duration of request.
b. Contractor Initial (and periodic) Installation Access Screening. Contractors will provide Pass and Registration with two forms of identification, one of which will be a state issued photo identification. Prior to being allowed access, a minimum of a background/National Crime Information Center (NCIC) check will be completed on all contractors, requesting unescorted access for official business. This screening process will validate the contractor's suitability to visit Goodfellow and certify that the contractor does not pose an increased threat to the base populace. The contractor will then be issued a temporary Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) pass or AF Form 75A through the expiration date on the BAL request. Possession of an authorized access pass does not automatically authorize or guarantee access to the installation. The individual must still have a valid purpose to be on the installation and properly sponsored, as applicable.
c. Access Denial. If it is determined a contractor requesting access has been convicted of a felony or pled guilty to a felony charge within the past 10 years, or is considered not fit to obtain authorized access based on the information obtained during the identity vetting, or criminal history indicates the individual may present a threat to the good order, discipline and morale of the installation, Security Forces personnel will deny entry. The contractor will be informed of the access denial, will be issued an Access Denial Letter, and will be informed on how they may appeal this order.
d. Access Denial Appeal Process. When denied access, contract visitors will be informed to report back their manager. If the contract worker and management are considering an appeal, it will be submitted by letter to the 17 SFS Commander, within 30 days of access denial. The contract manager should first contact the military contract officer/administrator or on-base sponsor for additional guidance and clarification. The appeal may be delivered to the installation Visitor Control Section or mailed to Security Forces, addressed to 17 SFS/CC, 361 Apache Trail, Goodfellow AFB, 76908. The contractor's appeal should discuss all facts and reasons to support rescinding access denial. The 17 TRW/CC will approve/disapprove all appeals for entry.
e. For installation access on non-duty hours or down days:
1. Identify which workers need access on weekends, federal holidays/family days, and down days.
2. Ensure only workers that are already vetted are on the Extended-Hours request (no new personnel). New personnel require a new BAL and formal vetting.
3. Complete the “After Hours” BAL for workers requiring down day access to the installation.
4. Identify the vehicle requirements. If operations cannot support the search procedures for large vehicles/special purpose equipment, the request may be declined unless arrangements are made to deliver the vehicle/equipment prior, during normal duty hours.
5. During the above-mentioned days, the contract officer, contract representative sponsoring ID cardholder is required to be present during hours of the work request.
6. All BALs are (re)accomplished each time employees or personnel change, not to exceed 180 days. Oversight for BAL updates and establishment of procedures to ensure Physical Access Control System (PACS) credentials and locally created access credentials from individuals who no longer require installation access is the responsibility of the contracting officer/contract administrator.
7. When an employee (regardless of position) is no longer employed by the contractor or subcontractor all DBIDS passes are to be returned to the Contract Officer/Administrator or to the Visitor Control Center. If a local issued access credential/pass is not returned, the contract officer may withhold funds or the Installation Commander may consider permanent debarment to the installation.
Immediate access denial may be initiated by Pass & Registration updating the DBIDS database until disposition of the DBIDS pass is resolved.
f. Traffic Laws. Contractor and employees shall comply with Texas transportation code, base traffic regulations and posted signs while on the installation.
g. WEAPONS, FIREARMS, AMMUNITION. Contractor employees are prohibited from possessing weapons, firearms, or ammunition on themselves or within their contractor-owned vehicle or privately-owned vehicles while on base.

IHMP will notify the Contracting Officer that the Contractor has authorization to bring and use that material on the installation without reporting usage use unless required under Green Procurement Program or specifications requiring data submittals.
The main Contractor is responsible for reporting all sub-contractors hazmat usage from the date of hire throughout the duration of their contract to the Installations Hazardous Materials Manager. No hazardous materials, lubricants, oils, liquids or related materials shall be deposited in the refuse containers on the installation.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are required as specified in the latest version of Federal Standard No. 313 (including revisions adopted during the term of the contract) for any other material designated by a Government technical representative as potentially hazardous and requiring safety controls. SDSs must be submitted by the Contractor upon contract award. Failure to provide SDSs or certificate when requested could result in the Contractor being considered non-responsive and result in termination of the contract.
While there is no single definition that encompasses every type of hazardous chemicals, these items generally have a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prepared by the manufacturer. It is important to note that not every material with an SDS is not automatically considered a hazardous material. When there is a question regarding whether or not a material is hazardous, additional guidance should be sought from the CO/COR where they can then pass on any questions about those materials to the installations Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) team thru the IHMP office.
Due to the new requirement of the current Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, per 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on these hazards. It also mandates that all workplaces shall not have any SDSs older than five (5) years old and meet the new GHS requirements.
The Contractor shall not use products that are, or contain Toxic 17 chemicals, Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS), Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS), CFC’s or Persistent Bio-accumulative and Toxic (PBT) chemicals. Any Hazardous Material (HM) containing any of these banned substances will not be allowed on the installation.
If the hazardous material request is for a Class I ODS, CE will ensure there is an applicable and current Air Force Senior Acquisition Official (SAO) approval for contract Class I ODS requirements before approving the hazardous material authorization and make available to the Contractor. The Contracting Officer will also maintain a copy of the SAO approval in the contract file as required by AFI 32-7086.
If there is a change in IHMP approved HAZMAT, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and resubmit data as required.
Reporting Requirements: The Contractor shall submit all information needed by the base to comply with the following:
a. Emergency planning reporting requirements of Section 302 of EPCRA.
b. Emergency notice requirements of Section 304 of EPCRA
c. List of Safety Data Sheets required by Section 311 of EPCRA
d. Emergency and hazardous chemical inventory forms of Section 312 of
EPCRA
e. Toxic chemical release inventory of Section 313 of EPCRA, which includes the reduction and recycling information required by Section 6607 of PPA
f. Toxic chemical reduction goals requirements of Section 3-302 of Executive Order 12856
g. Pollution Prevention and Right-to-Know Information as per the FAR 52.223-5 (Apr 1998)
h. Executive Order 13148 Greening the Government through Leadership in Environmental Management
i. Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management
Note: No hazardous or potentially hazardous material may be brought onto the installation without full compliance with all authorization, approval, and reporting requirements specified in the Federal, DOD and Air Force regulations or local supplements.
2.2 DISPOSAL OF WASTES (NON-HAZARDOUS, SPECIAL, AND
HAZARDOUS) GENERATED
Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a comprehensive approach to managing non-hazardous solid waste. It encompasses waste prevention, recycling, composting, and disposal programs. Through ISWM, Air Force installations or facilities seek to determine the most cost effective, energy-efficient, least-polluting ways to deal with their waste streams in order to protect human health and the environment.
Non-Hazardous Wastes: Non-hazardous solid waste is regulated under 42 U.S.
Code Chapter 82 – Solid Waste Disposal - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D, 40 CFR Part 239-259 and under State of Texas 30 TAC §330 - Municipal Solid Waste Rules. Regulations established under Subtitle D ban open dumping of waste and set minimum federal criteria for the operation of municipal waste and industrial waste landfills, including design criteria, location restrictions, financial assurance, corrective action (cleanup), and closure requirement. States play a lead role in implementing these regulations and may set more stringent requirements. In absence of an approved state program, the federal requirements must be met by waste facilities.
The Contractor shall transport and dispose of all non-hazardous wastes to and in a State of Texas permitted facility or other disposal facility permitted by the state in which the disposal facility is located.
Special Wastes: Special wastes are any wastes that are non-hazardous yet have to be stored, transported, and/or disposed of in a special manner, for example, asbestos containing wastes or petroleum contaminated soil. Contractor shall store, transport and dispose of all Special Wastes in accordance with all Federal, State, and local laws, rules and regulations as applicable. Contractor shall dispose of Special Wastes in a State of Texas permitted facility. The disposal facility must also be approved by the Installations Environmental Office prior to transportation. Contractor shall make all necessary arrangements with the disposal facility for disposal of Special Wastes. Contractor shall prepare all necessary paper work, including but not limited to bill of lading, manifests, etc. at no additional cost to the Government.
2.2.1 HAZARDOUS WASTE:

The Contractor shall prepare and maintain all records, shipping documents, training certificates, plans and other documents required by regulation. The Contractor shall submit for information (FIO) a copy of all of the records, shipping documents, training certificates, plans and other documents required in Chapter 335 to the Contracting Officer. This includes copies of the manifests and land disposal restrictions. All manifests and land disposal restrictions must be signed by the Installations Environmental Office.
The Contractor shall remove all hazardous waste from Goodfellow AFB on a daily basis unless the accumulation and storage is specifically approved in writing by the Contracting Officer and the Installations Environmental Office.
Such approval must be given prior to the generation of any hazardous waste.
Approval for accumulation or storage of hazardous wastes in excess of 55 gallons or greater than 1 quart acutely hazardous waste, for greater than three
(3) calendar days will require a minimum lead time of forty-five (45) calendar days from the date of the receipt of the request and may not be approved at that time. The Contractor shall transport hazardous wastes from Goodfellow AFB to a Treatment, Storage, or Disposal Facility (TSDF) permitted by the State of Texas, the EPA, and approved by the Base Environmental Coordinator. Under no circumstances shall disposal or treatment of hazardous wastes be allowed on Goodfellow AFB by the Contractor.
