STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

CONTRUCT AND INSTALL A MODULAR HAZMAT TRAINER

1. DESCRIPTION:

a. Scope: Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, material, transportation, labor, and supervision required to build and install a single story modular building with an observation deck on the roof and attach it to existing concrete pad.

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

Rev 1. 29 July 2020 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.

The contractor will be responsible for and will indemnify and hold the Government harmless for any and all spills, releases, emission, and discharges of any toxic or hazardous substance, any pollutant, or any waste, whether sudden or gradual, caused by or arising under the performance of this contract or any substance, material, equipment, or facility utilized therefore for the purposes of any environmental statute or regulation, the contractor will be considered the "operator" for any facility utilized in the performance of the contract, and will indemnify and hold the Government harmless for the failure to adhere to any applicable law or regulation established to protect the human or physical environment. The contractor will be responsible in the same manner as above regardless of whether activities leading to or causing a spill, release, emission or discharge is performed by the contractor, its agent or designee, an offender, visitor, or any third party.

2.0 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL/ WASTE MANAGEMENT.

The following is a breakdown of all required information that deals with the transport, use and disposal of any hazardous chemicals and waste materials on or from the installation. The Contractor will be further briefed on the Goodfellow AFB Hazardous Material/Waste Management Plan at the pre-performance conference.

2.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:

Contractors using any type of chemicals (hazardous materials) on Goodfellow

AFB must comply with the review and approval process and shall provide the Contracting Officer (CO) with a list of proposed materials that it plans to use on the installation during the performance of the contract.

The Contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer an AF Form 3000, Material and Approval Submittal, listing all materials that will be utilized during the contract period. If any of the material is classified as hazardous and is covered under Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) (42 U.S.C. 11001-11050) or other applicable host nation, federal, state, or local tracking or reporting requirements and also covered under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and also covered under AFI 32-7086. The Installation HAZMAT Management Program (IHMP) office will determine if any of the proposed materials to be used are hazardous materials (HAZMATs) and will require approval authorizations prior to bringing on or using any of those materials on the installation.

The Contractor will submit a Chemical/Hazardous Material Request Authorization (form will be provide to Contractor) for each of the material items with all supporting information as required for approval and must supply an up-to-date, current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each requested item listed as a hazardous material, as defined to be delivered under this contract. The Contractor must maintain a file of all SDS during the performance of this contract.

The Contractor must obtain authorization from the Contracting Officer prior to bringing or using any hazardous chemicals on the installation. The Contractor shall submit for Government Approval (via AF Form 3000) to the Contracting Officer on a monthly, quarterly basis, or at the end of the contract, as determined by the Contracting Officer and the IHMP. The report usage of all HAZMAT materials will be in two or more copies within that period on the required Contractor Hazardous Materials Usage Tracking Form.

A copy of the DOD INSTALLATIONS OR FACILITIES STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE (SOP) - Contractor Tracking Requirement document will be provided to the Contractor at the pre-performance to meet the requirement for all Contractors to submit a Contractor Hazardous Materials Usage Tracking Form (to be completed by the Contractor) and copies of the Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s) for all chemicals that will be used under any contract.

If additional materials are required during the course of the contract, the Contractor shall complete an authorization worksheet and provide a SDS for each additional material prior to the Contracting Officer via AF Form 3000 for Government Approval prior to bringing or using any additional materials on the installation. The Contractor shall submit the new authorization request NLT 15 days prior to delivery of the materials onto the installation.

For each Contractor-identified chemical that the IHMP determines does not meet the definition of a HAZMAT, IHMP requirements do not apply. 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.
