Part B. Affirmative Procurement

1.01 Introduction. Affirmative Procurement (AP) is the name given to the federal program to strengthen efforts to protect the environment and promote economic growth through the purchase of recycled and other environmentally preferable products. The standard three-arrow recycling symbol represents not only collection of recyclable materials, but also manufacturing and use of recycled products. Recycling can succeed in diverting materials from landfills only if markets for products made from recycled materials expand. A recovered material or recycled material is a waste material or by-product recovered or diverted from solid waste and utilized in place of raw or virgin material in product manufacturing. Today, products made from recycled materials rival virgin products in quality and cost. Yet, the market for these items is still in its infancy. Purchasing recycled materials through affirmative procurement will significantly increase the use of these products and will close the loop of our recycling efforts. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated specific guideline items, which when meeting certain criteria, federal agencies are required to purchase to the maximum extent practicable. Air Force "consumers" are subject to these mandates for the procurement of recycled content products. These mandates apply equally to all DAFB organizations, tenant organizations, and contractors.

The federal government is committed to minimizing the adverse environmental impacts of its purchases. Spending more than $200 billion annually on the purchase of products and services, the federal government’s commitment to Environmental Preferable Purchasing (EPP) is helping increase the availability of products and services with improved environmental performance. EPP, however, does not only protect the environment; it also protects human health, saves money, and improves the overall quality of government purchases (Environmentally Preferable Products Final Guidance Brochure; http://www.epa.gov). As the program matures, revenues from recycling programs will increase; costs for recycled-content products will decrease; dependence on land filling and requirements for virgin materials use will decrease. The resulting savings in money and resources will ultimately improve our readiness. Environmental and financial gains can be achieved on a national level. Promoting waste prevention by purchasing recovered items can slow the use of virgin material and the rate at which our landfills become filled and closed. This is especially true for paper since paper takes up roughly one-third the space in landfills nationwide. Federal government procurement and use of recycled products, especially re-refined oil, can reduce our nation's dependency on foreign governments for raw materials.

1.02 Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section.

A. Post Consumer materials means a material or finished product that has served its intended end use and has been diverted or recovered from waste destined for disposal, having completed its life as a consumer item. Post consuming material is part of the broader category of recovered materials.

B. Recovered materials means waste material and byproducts which have been recovered or diverted from solid waste, but such term does not include those materials and byproducts generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing process.

C. Recycled materials means a material that can be utilized in place of a raw or virgin material in manufacturing a product and consists of materials derived from post-consumer waste, industrial scrap, material derived from agricultural wastes and other items, all of which can be used in the manufacture of new products.

D. Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG). The EPA is required to designate products that are or can be made with recovered materials as authorized by RCRA Section 6002 and EO 13101. EPA reviews a broad list of potential products made from recovered materials. EPA then compiles this list through various sources of publicly available information and includes items previously researched and still under consideration by EPA. The EPA also issues guidance on buying recycled-content products in Recovered Materials Advisory Notices (RMANs), which recommend recycled-content ranges for CPG products. RMAN levels are updated as marketplace conditions change. All current and proposed guideline items and their associated recycled content requirements, product specifications, RMANs, and list of manufactures and suppliers can be viewed on EPA’s web page located at http://www.epa.gov/cpg. Other sections of the web page provide product fact sheets, frequently asked questions with answers, and CPG program updates.

1.03 Contractor Implementation of Affirmative Procurement

The requirements of the AP program are applicable to all DAFB requiring activities that: (1) prepare specifications for products; (2) procure or request procurement of products; and (3) provide support to base organizations (e.g., Civil Engineer Squadron, Logistics Readiness Squadron and Contracting Squadron). These procedures also apply to DAFB contractors as long as appropriate provisions are contained in the contracts. Section 6002 of RCRA requires each federal agency to establish an Affirmative Procurement Program that explains the agency's strategy for maximizing its purchases of USEPA designated items. RCRA requires that Affirmative Procurement Programs have, at a minimum, the following four elements:

A. A preference program in which the agency shows its preference for recycled products by procuring items that meet recycled material content levels and specifications. All contractors associated with this project are responsible for implementing this preference program element. The EPA has provided the following web site, http://www.epa.gov/cpg/products.htm, listing the CPG, which will provide all the necessary information needed to make the proper purchases. Since the website is updated continually, this plan will reference the website instead of listing all items. Contractors are encouraged to check the "Products" section of the web page for all current designated and proposed guideline items and their associated recycled-content requirements. The "Background" section of the web page lists the full text of the RMAN (click on each category for complete updated information). Other sections of the web page provide product fact sheets, give CPG program updates, and answer frequently asked questions. The website also allows customers to report success stories on affirmative procurement. The DAFB preference program includes the following: The EPA recommended minimum recovered material content levels for designated items are the required minimum recovered material content levels for procurement of these items. DAFB will give preference to the selection of EPA designated items in the procurement process. Preference will be given to products containing the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with performance, competition and availability.

B. Regardless of the method of solicitation used, award will be made in accordance with customary award procedures, typically to the lowest priced responsible bidder, regardless of whether the product contains recovered material. In the event that two or more low bids are received that offer different levels of recovered materials content, award will be made in accordance with customary award procedures, typically to the lowest priced responsible offeror. In the case of identical low bids, award will be made to the offeror with the higher level of recovered material content, all other factors being equal.

C. Unique requirements for certain designated items and exemptions. Affirmative Procurement is intended to promote cost-effective, environmentally preferable purchasing. Recycled content products meeting EPA guidelines will always be purchased unless an exemption is claimed based on one of the four established criteria;

1. Items are not available within a reasonable period of time, or

2. Items fail to meet the performance standards set forth in applicable specifications or fail to meet reasonable performance standards of the procuring agency; or

3. Items are not available from a sufficient number of sources to maintain a satisfactory level of competition (i.e., available from two or more sources); or

4. Items are available at an unreasonable price. If the price of the recycled-content product exceeds the cost of a comparable non-recycled item by more than 10%, then the price is considered unreasonable.

D. Submittal/Certification. Prior to purchasing any items or starting field activities, contractors shall submit Attachment 4 which indicates the applicable items (contractor shall verify no new items have been added to this list for inclusion under the “Other” line item) will be purchased / installed with the appropriate percentage of recovered materials. If the contractor determines that an item to be purchased / installed under this contract/call/delivery order meets the requirements of an exemption, the appropriate information shall be provided on the same form as well. The contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with Attachment 4, assurances from vendors to include (1) written certification that their products meet the minimum content standards in the solicitation documents to be provided with the associated AF Form 3000, Material Submittals; (2) maintain copies of certification documents; (3) produce copies of the written certification upon request by DAFB and (4) documentation justifying request for exemption. Attachment 4 will be approved by the project manager and the contracting officer.

1. For contracts with options, the form at Attachment 4 shall be completed at the beginning of the contract and annually afterwards.

2. For Blanket Purchase Agreements with individual calls the form at Attachment 4 shall be completed prior to every call/delivery order. Note that an exemption on a specific call is valid for one year after that approval. The first call after the exemption year must provide the appropriate recovery containing material or request another exemption. Updated exemption documentation is necessary at this time.

3. For one-year contracts and any other types of contracts not specifically mentioned, the form at Attachment 4 shall be completed at the beginning of the contract.

E. Verification. The Affirmative Procurement Working Group (APWG) will periodically review vendor certification documents as part of the annual review and monitoring process. Such reviews shall enable APWG to verify the contractors' compliance with EO 13101.

F. Exemption Documentation. When procuring guideline items, any decision not to acquire items meeting USEPA content standards must be based on one of these exemptions and requires a written documentation. If the exemption is cited on performance standards, the written determination must be based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology guidelines, if available. FAR 23.405(c)(3) places the responsibility to prepare this determination on "technical or requirements personnel." This documentation shall be provided with the submittal of Attachment 4 as required depending on your type of contract/call.

G. Contractor Reporting Requirements. Contractor shall provide a summary at contract/call/delivery order completion indicating the amount of products provided with recycled content (along with their respective recycled content percentage) along with the amount of funds spent on these products. The "Estimate of Percentage of Recovered Material Content for EPA-Designated Products" is required by the clause at FAR 52.223-9 to be provided to the Contracting Officer by the contractor at contract/call/delivery order completion.

Part D. Excess Soil Requiring Disposal

1.0 The disposal of excess soil associated with construction activities at Dover AFB shall be in accordance with the following requirements. No excess soil shall be removed from Dover AFB by the contractor until the contractor has sampled and analyzed the soil for contamination and Dover AFB has approved an appropriate disposal method.

2.0 Stockpile - The contractor shall stockpile excess soil from the construction site in stockpiles no greater than 250 cubic yards and on an approved underlining material. Completed stockpiles shall be covered with an approved covering material. Upon partial or final accumulation of excess soils, and prior to initiating sampling of the stockpiled material, the contractor shall notify Dover AFB to witness sampling. The contractor shall maintain the stockpile until the sampling and analysis process is complete and Dover AFB gives approval for disposal.

3.0 Sampling and Analysis - The contractor shall collect a composite sample from each stockpile to be disposed. The contractor shall have the sample(s) analyzed by an approved laboratory. Each sample must be analyzed for the following:

· Full TCLP (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure) to include ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, metals, organics, pesticides and herbicides

· Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)

· Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

· BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, and Ethyl benzene)

· Percent Solids

The contractor shall submit the laboratory analysis results to Dover AFB for review and approval of a disposal method.

4.0 Disposal – The method to be used for excess soil disposal is dependent on the laboratory analysis results. Dover AFB will review the analytical results and approve a disposal method.

4.1 When analytical results indicate no contamination, or contaminant levels are below minimum regulatory thresholds, the contractor shall dispose of excess soil as required by the appropriate contract specifications.

4.2 When analytical results indicate the presence of contamination at levels exceeding regulatory thresholds, Dover AFB will inform the contractor, and Dover AFB will dispose of the contaminated soil by separate contract. If the contractor’s equipment is still present on site, the contractor shall load Government provided disposal trucks. The contractor shall be aware that scheduling the disposal of contaminated soil will vary depending on the disposal requirements specific to the type of contamination, and the disposal contractor’s schedules. The contractor shall maintain the contaminated soil stockpiles as per Part D paragraph 2.0 until such time as Dover AFB can arrange for their disposal.

Part E. Disposal of Extracted Groundwater

1.0 The disposal of groundwater captured during construction activities at Dover AFB shall be in accordance with the following requirements. No groundwater shall be extracted or discharged by the contractor at Dover AFB without an approved dewatering permit. No extracted groundwater shall be discharged on base or removed from Dover AFB by the contractor a) unless it is in accordance with the dewatering permit, b) until the contractor has sampled and analyzed the extracted groundwater for contamination, and c) until Dover AFB gives approval for disposal. The design documents indicate the potential for encountering groundwater during construction activities. Whether groundwater is expected or unexpected, the same requirements are applicable.

2.0 Permit - Dewatering of groundwater requires a permit from the State of Delaware, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). The contractor shall prepare a dewatering permit application in accordance with the Delaware Regulations Governing the Construction and Use of Wells. The contractor shall submit the permit application to Dover AFB for review and signature prior to submitting it to DNREC. The contractor shall comply with all dewatering permit conditions.

3.0 Storage Tanks/Containers - The contractor shall provide storage tanks/containers and containerize all extracted groundwater. If containerization is impracticable due to the volume and rate of groundwater extraction, an alternate system of testing, treatment and/or disposal may be proposed by the contractor in accordance with the dewatering permit, and implemented by the contractor upon approval by Dover AFB. In such cases, periodic water quality testing may be required under the dewatering permit to verify that no contaminated groundwater is being discharged.

4.0 Sampling and Analysis – All containerized groundwater must be sampled in order to determine appropriate disposal methods. In the case where containerization is impractical and an alternate system of testing, treatment, or disposal has been approved, the contractor shall perform alternate sampling and analysis activities as required under the permit and approved by Dover AFB.

The contractor shall sample the extracted groundwater in each container (one sample per container) and have the sample(s) analyzed by an approved laboratory. Each sample must be analyzed for the following:

· Full TCLP (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure) to include ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, metals, organics, pesticides and herbicides

· Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)

· Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

· BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, and Ethyl benzene)

· Percent Solids

· Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), SW-846 Method 5030B/8260B or equivalent

The contractor shall submit the laboratory analysis results to Dover AFB for review and approval of a disposal method.

5.0 Disposal – The method to be used for disposing of containerized groundwater is dependent on the laboratory analysis results. Dover AFB will review the analytical results and approve a disposal method.

5.1. When analytical results indicate no contamination, or contaminant levels are below minimum regulatory thresholds, the contractor will be instructed to discharge to the Dover AFB storm sewer or through an oil/water separator to the sanitary sewer system. Discharge through filter bags may be required under the dewatering permit or sediment and erosion control requirements. It is the contractor’s responsibility to empty and clean the tanks/containers when on site disposal is warranted. Disposal through the oil/water separator will most likely occur at Facility 706. Unavailability of Facility 706 may prompt disposal elsewhere on Dover AFB.

5.2. When analytical results indicate the presence of contamination at levels exceeding regulatory thresholds, Dover AFB will inform the contractor, and Dover AFB will set up disposal and tank cleaning services under separate contract. The contractor shall be aware that scheduling the disposal of contaminated groundwater will vary depending on the disposal requirements specific to the type of contamination, and the disposal contractor’s schedules. The contractor shall maintain containerized contaminated groundwater on site until such time as Dover AFB can arrange for disposal.

Part F. Conformance with Environmental Management Systems

1.0 The Contractor shall perform work under this contract consistent with relevant policy and objectives identified in the Dover AFB environmental management system (EMS) applicable for this contract. The Contractor shall perform work in a manner that conforms to all appropriate Environmental Management Programs and Operational Controls identified by the Dover AFB EMS and provide monitoring and measurement information as necessary for the organization to address environmental performance relative to the environmental, energy, and transportation management goals.

2.0 To ensure all appropriate environmental goals are obtained, the contractor shall ensure the environmental requirements outlined in this contract to include, but not limited to sediment and erosion control permitting (when applicable), approval and reporting usage pertaining to hazardous materials and any spill reporting/clean-up requirements resulting from the associated usage or storage of those hazardous materials, affirmative procurement process, air permitting requirements as applicable (including construction and operating permits) , wetlands permitting requirements as applicable and disposal of hazardous and universal waste are implemented and successfully managed.

3.0 In the event an environmental nonconformance or noncompliance associated with the contracted services is identified, the contractor shall take corrective and/or preventative actions. In the case of a noncompliance, the Contractor shall respond and take corrective action immediately. In the case of a nonconformance, the Contractor shall respond and take corrective action based on the time schedule established by the Contracting Officer.

4.0 The prime contractor will receive necessary EMS training from Dover AFB personnel during the pre-construction / post award meeting. The prime contractor is responsible to ensure all impacted employees and associated sub-contractors receive necessary training.

Part G. Air Permitting
