The plant will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Such operations shall include general operation of plant equipment, valves and piping, sampling and lab analyses, waste and effluent disposal, and other related services. All operations shall be accomplished in accordance with the treatment plant operations manuals where applicable, see Appendix B. Plant operations and effluent discharge practices shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulatory standards, including the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements, see Appendix E. In the performance of the operation and maintenance of the WWTP the contractor shall adhere to all applicable OSHA, NIOSH, AFOSH, Holloman Fire Prevention Guide for Contractors, and state mandated requirements.

1.2. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION (PMI) PROGRAM. The contractor shall implement a preventive maintenance inspection program to help prevent and correct deficiencies with equipment items, minimizing breakdowns and service interruptions, extending component service life, and maximizing operating efficiency. This program should incorporate methods to monitor trends for normal, abnormal or unusual conditions that would indicate problems that could arise. The contractor’s PMI plan shall include inspections and services of lubrication, minor adjustment, and minor repair of components. A completed PMI plan shall be submitted to the contracting officer (CO) for acceptance within 30 calendar days after contract award. This plan shall include a 52 consecutive week schedule indicating specific maintenance/inspection items to be accomplished. At the end of each year, each equipment item within every system included in this contract will have been addressed. The PMI program is to be established based upon manufacturers' recommendations, handbooks, operating/service manuals, contractor expertise, and general engineering judgments. The submitted plan shall include equipment components to be inspected and maintained, inspection and maintenance techniques, inspection and maintenance frequencies, and reporting methodology. The contractor shall update schedules as necessary to reflect any changes in equipment inventory.

1.2.1. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE WORK (PMW). The PMW shall include services of lubrication, minor adjustment, and minor repair of components. Once accepted by the CO, the contractor shall closely follow the PMI program and schedule. Any proposed changes to approved schedules must be submitted to the CO for prior approval. The contractor shall correct all equipment deficiencies identified during preventive maintenance (PM) inspections subject to the limits specified in the following Corrective Maintenance paragraph (1.3.1). When possible, equipment deficiencies detected during PM inspections shall be corrected prior to departing the job site.

These records shall include descriptions of periodic maintenance, scheduled versus actual completion dates, and the person who performed the work. The contractor shall ensure the records are accurate and current.

1.3. REIMBURSABLE COSTS. The Government shall provide an annual allowance for reimbursable costs for the basic year and each additional option year. Government reimbursable costs shall apply to corrective maintenance repair/replacement of material, including labor, and sludge disposal only. The Government reserves the right to add or remove funding unilaterally from the reimbursable line item.

1.3.1. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE. Corrective maintenance is work that is required to return a system or components to proper operating condition. It is maintenance and repair work that is 80 hours or less in labor and $1,500 or less in materials. Corrective maintenance is required on a routine basis as a result of preventive maintenance inspections. The contractor's liability under the firm fixed-price portion of the contract shall be limited to 80 total labor hours for completion and not more than $1,500 in total direct material costs per job. Government approved repairs and improvements exceeding these per-job labor hours and material costs will be covered under the reimbursable line item in the bid schedule and subject to the contracting officer's approval. At the discretion of the Quality Assurance Personnel (QAP), the government may request three independent price quotes to help determine price fair and reasonable.

1.3.2. GOVERNMENT APPROVED REPAIRS, IMPROVEMENTS, AND REPLACEMENTS. The government may approve repairs, replacements, and/or improvements to the WWTP not covered by any other part of this PWS. These repairs, replacements, and improvements may be approved if it can be shown that they are necessary due to government requirement or fault such as negligence, WWTP design fault, oversight, etc. The contractor shall submit a written request to the CO for each repair, replacement and/or improvement. If the CO approves the request, funds shall be made available from the reimbursable contract line item. At the discretion of the QAP, the government may request three independent price quotes to help determine price fair and reasonable.

1.4. SLUDGE DISPOSAL. Sludge disposal services shall be provided by the Contractor at a frequency sufficient to maintain clean and orderly collection sites. Sludge shall be routinely collected and transported to a properly classified disposal site, with location subject to CO approval. Initial disposal will be to the closest approved landfill, not to exceed a distance of 300 miles from the wastewater treatment plant. Sludge collection, identification and disposal practices shall be accomplished in accordance with the most current 40 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) 503 (all), 40 CFR 261, 40 CFR 257 paragraph 30, and Title 20 of the New Mexico Administrative Code, Chapter 9, Part 1, Subpart VII, Sections 701, 702, 703, 704, 709, 712, and Subpart XI, Section 1109, see Appendix B. The Contractor shall provide all necessary laboratory services for sludge analysis prior to disposal of sludge. Upon receipt of sludge analysis results and prior to the disposal process, the Contractor shall submit all results to the QAP and the Civil Engineer Environmental Office (CEV) in order for the Government to certify the sludge meets the requirements for landfill application, per 40 CFR Part 258 of the NPDES permit, see Appendix E.

PLANT DESCRIPTION AND WASTEWATER CHARACTERISTICS

1. PLANT DESCRIPTION

1.1 The purpose of this Appendix is to provide a general description of the processes and equipment for wastewater treatment at Holloman Air Force Base (HAFB). These descriptions are designed to present a general understanding of the systems involved, how they function, and how they are interrelated.

1.2. The wastewater treatment plant was constructed in the mid 1990’s and was put into operation in July 1996. These plant facilities consist of an influent pump station; entrance works facilities for screening, flow measurement, and grit removal, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, chlorine contact chamber plant for effluent disinfection, de-chlorination, and effluent flow measurement, aerobic sludge digesters, and paved sludge drying beds. Support facilities at the treatment plant include a blower/generator complex, chlorination building, secondary sludge pump building, and an administration building which includes a laboratory, offices, locker rooms, and a maintenance shop. There is no office equipment or supplies provided by the Government.

2. WASTEWATER CHARACTERIZATION AND DISCHARGE PERMITS.
