Performance Work Statement Range Residue Removal 16 Nov 10

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The purpose of the Range Residue Removal (R3) contract is to perform the inspection, demilitarization (demil) and disposal of all range and munitions debris at US Air Force training ranges throughout the continental US and Alaska. The program supports R3 services at Air Combat Command (ACC) ranges and has the potential to include 14 Air National Guard (ANG) ranges and the other Air Force MAJCOM ranges at AFSOC and PACAF as needed. The contractor shall provide all labor, material, and equipment to perform the work specified in each Task order, which may include range clearance, residue inspection and demil (including documentation), proper handling of materials regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) or considered to be low level radioactive waste (LLRW), transfer of LLRW or RCRA-regulated materials to the appropriate installation program for Government disposition, and transfer of processed range residue to either recycling centers or landfills. The contractor shall also provide a third party quality assurance expert (3rd party QA) to provide final certification of all materials prior to release from DoD control.

ACC ranges are used for various types of training to include: air-to-surface weapons delivery training, air-to-air combat, close air support, combat search and rescue, Special Forces ground exercises, and electronic combat training. Aircrews strike targets with bombs, rockets, precision guided missiles, aircraft cannon and illumination flares. Munitions may be high explosive-filled (HE), full-scale or sub-scale practice munitions (Bomb Dummy Unit or BDU) with or without spotting charges, or inert practice ammunition. Only a few ranges are authorized for HE munitions, but the possibility always exists for HE ordnance or explosive components to be commingled with inert munitions and range debris. Full-scale inert bombs are nearly identical to HE bombs but contain concrete or other inert materials instead of HE. These bombs do not explode although some may be equipped with spotting charges and/or live fuzes.

DoD Instruction 4140.62 states, “Munitions and range-related debris are considered Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH) until properly inspected and documented as Material Determined As Safe (MDAS). Only MDAS will be released to the public. A chain of custody must be maintained until MDAS is released from DoD control and a legible copy of the documentation of MDAS determination will accompany the material when it is transferred.” DoD Explosive Safety Board (DDESB) Technical Paper 18 (TP 18) specifies personnel qualifications to inspect and/or certify MPPEH as safe. Munitions debris is composed of expended munitions and components or fragments. Range debris includes expended target materials such as salvaged vehicles, shipping containers, tires and other materials used to fabricate targets. Hard targets are more durable (tanks, armored personnel carriers and heavy equipment) and may have munitions embedded in them.

MPPEH removed from impact areas is placed in a residue holding area (RHA) established by the manager of each range. Munitions and munitions debris are segregated and the remaining MPPEH is typically sorted by type of material, i.e. vehicles, heavy equipment, etc., but some debris may be commingled. The debris may contain unexploded ordnance (UXO), explosives or explosive components, low-level radiological waste, or RCRA-regulated wastes such as automotive fluids. Military equipment may require demilitarization. Much of the debris has salvage value due to its content of commercially viable metals (steel, aluminum, brass) and shall be recycled whenever possible. Residue with no recycling value (tires, retarder parachutes, Smoky SAM training rockets, wood, and other debris) shall be processed for release to landfills.

Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel perform periodic range clearances to remove spent ordnance and target debris. Targets, debris and designated impact areas are inspected for UXO and other explosive hazards, and inspected munitions and debris are collected and transported to the RHA. UXO qualified personnel employed via this contract may be required to augment these range clearances or operate in lieu of government EOD personnel. UXO will only be destroyed by military EOD.

Below is a list of ACC work sites. The estimated annual amounts of residue from ACC work sites are listed in Section 9.10, ACC Ranges.

Below is a list of other potential AF or DoD work sites. Other Air Force commands (AFSOC, PACAF, ANG) or other military components may require work depending on availability of funds and at the discretion of ACC. The estimated annual amounts of residue from other work sites are listed in Section 9.2, Other Ranges.

Performance Objectives Advanced Logistics Team: Perform a site visit at each range to develop work quantity estimates, identify and coordinate local resource requirements (equipment, fuel, recycling centers, sanitary facilities, lodging, etc.), environmental and transportation permits, and other information required to implement the Site Work Plan to include the Health and Safety Plan. Government will provide a range escort for up to 2 days, as needed. Coordinate visits with R3 program manager and range manager. Contractor will submit quantity estimates to R3 program manager with a copy to ACC AMIC/PKC within 2 business days of completion of visit.

Site Work Plan: Develop a plan for each work site to describe site-specific health and safety information, spill prevention control procedures, work procedures, UXO technician qualifications, task order milestones and address potential conflicts with the task order. The plan must describe the MPPEH post-processing Quality Control (QC) sampling method if used with a DDESB-approved MPPEH processing technique. Plan development requires coordination with range manager and range O&M contractor, work site orientation and local procedures.

Mobilization: Mobilize personnel and equipment necessary to execute the work specified in the task order. Travel costs will be IAW FAR 31.205-46. All travel and associated estimated costs shall be coordinated and pre-approved in writing by R3 Program Manager and range manager prior to travel.

Residue Processing: Must perform on-site inspection, processing and certification of all residue as MDAS. Certification shall be documented by qualified personnel. Tasks include radiological sweep and explosive safety inspection, demil of military equipment and all associated documentation/certification of these actions; UXO reporting; shearing or crushing; site safety; chain-of-custody control and documentation; handling of LLRW; handling and characterization of RCRA-regulated material; and work site collection of fragments/residue resulting from processing activities.

Disposition: Dispose of MDAS as soon as practical following the processing phase. Contractor must maintain the chain-of-custody and MDAS integrity until final disposition. Recycle MDAS with commercial value to the maximum extent possible with preference given to vendors/recyclers that consume the material immediately. Dispose of MDAS with no value IAW local laws and procedures. LLRW and/or RCRA-regulated materials will be handled IAW federal and installation program requirements to include characterization (as needed), documentation, packaging, notification and turn-in to appropriate government personnel.

Work Documentation: Prepare and submit to both ACC A3AR and ACC AMIC documentation related to work performance for individual task orders to include invoicing, monthly reports and a close-out report when all activities identified on the task order are completed. Documentation shall include completed chain-of-custody records for all MDAS terminating in receipt by a recycler or landfill; weight tickets for shipments of all material transported from the site; receipts for sale of recyclable materials; photographs or videos of work activities; and summaries of quantities processed, i.e. documentation of the quantity of each menu pricing item managed on-site. Submit invoicing reports with each invoice. Submit a close-out report with the final invoice. Submit a copy of all chain-of-custody records to the Range Manager where work was performed.

Range Clearance: Provide UXO-qualified personnel to survey range areas or targets for UXO, munitions or explosive components and inspect, remove, and transport MPPEH to RHA. AFI 13-212 describes range clearance as “the removal and disposal of all ordnance, inert ordnance debris, Training Projectile (TP) ammunition, and other range debris reasonably possible to detect (normally down to four inches in size).” Clearance distance criteria will vary from 50 to 1000 feet from the target center and are dependent on the area being cleared (road, impact area or surrounding range land), the type of use (HE vs. practice munitions), the type of clearance interval (semiannual, biennial, decennial), and/or debris density per acre. UXO shall be flagged for detonation by military EOD personnel.

Third Party Quality Assurance: Provide 3rd party UXO QA to perform final review, certification and documentation of all MDAS prior to transport off-range for recycling or disposal unless qualified government personnel are available.

Work Scheduling and Management:

Work will be assigned to the contractor as specified in individual task orders. Each task order will include a spreadsheet with estimated quantities of residue requiring MDAS certification and disposal. When task orders specify work at multiple locations, the Contractor shall structure costs, schedules, and invoices for each location.

The primary goal of this contract is to ensure that all processed range debris released to the public is demilitarized according to DoD standards, free of hazards to human health and safety, and that all wastes are managed as required by applicable Federal, State and local laws as well as DoD and Air Force directives. Since range debris and trash may contain explosives, ignitable residue, LLRW and RCRA-regulated materials, the contractor will:

Separate materials by categories;

Demilitarize military equipment and munitions IAW DoD 4160.21-M-1;

Certify that MDAS is free of energetic material according to DoDI 4140.62;

Notify on-site Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) if LLRW or RCRA-regulated material is encountered; notify the on-site QAE and ACC R3 Program Manager if these materials are widespread, e.g. not individual components;

Remove LLRW and prepare it for transportation using host installation procedures. Notify the host base Installation Radiation Safety Officer (IRSO) when LLRW is ready for shipping;

Remove RCRA-regulated material, characterize the material as needed, prepare it for transportation, notify the host base environmental officer and transport the material to the host range’s Initial Accumulation Point (IAP);

Temporarily halt processing activities and notify the 3rd Party QAE and military EOD personnel if any UXO or suspected UXO is identified;

Optimize the value of recyclable materials when economically feasible;

Give preference to scrap metal vendors that can immediately process MDAS;

Dispose of all other waste material in accordance with applicable regulations and requirements;

Document RHA clean up data using the units specified in the task order;

Use chain-of-custody procedures to track all MDAS leaving the range;

Obtain all required Federal, State, and Local permits.

The secondary goal is to provide sound stewardship of natural and man-made resources. This goal encompasses achieving a safe recycling strategy and obtaining “best value” for the recyclables on the market. Additionally, this goal ensures that all trash and hazardous waste is properly disposed of according to applicable environmental statutes. Best value will be accomplished by optimizing scrap handling at the work sites using procedures common to the scrap recycling industry. This may require the contractor to motivate recycling vendors with the high value material to ensure the low value material is removed as well.

The third goal is to improve scrap metal processing techniques to meet the special demands of handling and demilitarizing munitions residue. This goal seeks to capitalize on commercially available scrap metal industry handling and processing equipment to process munitions residue. A conscious effort will be made to improve the scrap handling process and lessons learned will be provided in the site closeout report at the completion of each task.

Regulatory Guidance.

The following laws and regulations, at a minimum, apply to R3 activities on Air Combat Command ranges:

Clean Air Act: Each individual range may require a permit for dust control or air emissions for certain processes. Contractor shall evaluate the local situation, determine the need for and obtain permits, as necessary.

Clean Water Act: Spill prevention and control is required for fuel storage, runoff, and spill control of automotive fluids during processing of expended target vehicles.

Endangered Species Act: The contractor shall abide by any requirements specified by the range’s natural resources manager to ensure that listed species are not adversely affected by range residue operations. Specific restrictions on operations may be imposed on vehicle and equipment operations or work hours to protect endangered species that may exist on each range. The contractor shall coordinate these requirements with supported range’s host environmental management function.

National Historic Preservation Act: The contractor shall abide by any requirements specified by the range’s cultural resources manager to ensure that historic resources are not adversely affected by range residue operations.

This plan shall describe the work to be performed, work procedures (to include the use of post-processing QC sampling), range schedule (for the overall project and/or for each range) and resources necessary and relevant to the accomplishment of the work effort. The plan shall include the Health and Safety plan once site-specific information is incorporated. The work plan shall include specific milestones such as submittal of each deliverable, general task scheduling, estimated completion and government furnished resources or support. The plan shall include the qualifications of all UXO technicians inspecting, processing or certifying MDAS.

Radiological and Hazardous Waste Management:

Radioactive Material.

The contractor shall perform a radiological survey of all range debris (particularly military aircraft, vehicles and hardware) prior to processing. LLRW is usually found in luminous dials on military vehicles but may be found as structural materials (Magnesium-Thorium alloy) or in electronic components. LLRW will be removed, segregated, and packaged for transfer. The contractor will notify the on-site QAE of the presence of LLRW for coordination with the IRSO. The Government will schedule pick-up and final disposal of LLRW. The contractor shall document the material, quantity, detection instrument make/model and readings obtained and will place a copy of the LLRW discovery report with the packaged material, provide a copy to the on-site QAE and include a copy in the close-out report. The contractor will notify the on-site QAE and R3 Program Manager if LLRW is widespread, e.g. not individual components and cannot be effectively recovered under the contract. Maintain a log of LLRW discovered during the work effort. Document radiological surveys IAW section 6.5.

RCRA-Regulated Material.

The contractor shall survey range debris for the presence of RCRA-regulated materials such as batteries, antifreeze, oil, asbestos, PCBs, etc. RCRA materials shall be characterized, collected and delivered to the nearest on-range hazardous waste IAP permitted to receive it for eventual disposal by the government. The contractor shall coordinate with the IAP manager to ensure proper receipt of the material. The contractor shall comply with requirements in 40 CFR and the installation hazardous waste program. The contractor will notify the on-site QAE and R3 Program Manager if RCRA-regulated materials are widespread, e.g. cannot be effectively recovered under the contract. Maintain a log of RCRA materials discovered at the work site.

Processing:

Inspection All MPPEH will undergo a 100% inspection and a second 100% re-inspection by qualified personnel to determine the presence of UXO, explosives or explosive components. Interior cavities require particular attention to ensure explosives or explosive components are identified. Remove UXO and explosive components from the immediate work area if possible, or stop work and notify EOD. Use of a DDESB-approved processing method (crushing, flashing, etc.) may take the place of the first inspection, but will be followed by the required second 100% inspection or a post-processing QC inspection using an approved sampling method described in the work plan. Maintain a log of UXO or explosive components discovered during the work effort. Document explosive safety inspections IAW section 6.5.

Demilitarization Military aircraft, vehicles, equipment and munitions shall be demilitarized by qualified personnel IAW DoD manuals 4160.21-M and 4160.21-M-1. Munitions shall be processed to the extent that they shall not be recognizable as munitions and interior cavities shall be exposed. Sub-scale practice munitions (e.g. BDU-33), expended rockets and warheads, inert projectiles, guided missile and guided bomb components will be run through a process that reduces these items into 4-inch pieces or smaller. Full-scale inert bombs will be cut into at least four pieces. The inert filler (normally vermiculite and concrete) will be removed and left on site. Contractor will describe in detail every process envisioned for each category of range residue listed in the menu table. Document demil IAW section 6.5.

Crushing:

A crusher may be used to process sub-scale munitions to meet inspection, demil or recycling requirements. Items subjected to crushing will be broken down such that 85% of the end product is not more than 4 inches in the shortest dimension and interior cavities are exposed. Contractor will describe the post-processing QC sampling method to be used to determine the effectiveness.

Shearing:

An industrial shear may be used to cut or disassemble bombs, aircraft, light vehicles, CONEX containers or other miscellaneous metals to meet inspection, demil or recycling requirements.

Range Residue (MPPEH and Miscellaneous Debris) UXO technicians will inspect all range residue before and post-processing. The contractor must ensure MDAS is secured where it cannot be contaminated with MPPEH. The UXO technicians shall assess any suspect UXO. Known or suspected UXO will be assessed for movement to a secure, approved UXO holding area on the range to await destruction by government EOD personnel. If the UXO is deemed unsafe for movement the contactor shall stop work, cordon off the area, and notify government EOD and the range manager. All UXO must be destroyed by government EOD and will not be processed by the contractor until this action is complete.

Target Vehicles:

All expended target vehicles (including heavy equipment and armored vehicles) will be inspected for embedded munitions. Large driveline components with visual evidence of munitions impact will be drained, cut open, and visually inspected. Vehicle fluids will be collected and taken to the government waste IAP that services the range.

Third Party UXO QA:

No site activity will take place without Third Party UXO QA personnel on-site. The UXO QA will have “stop work” authority and will monitor the R3 activity to ensure explosive safety and project compliance. The contractor shall provide the UXO QA unless otherwise specified in the delivery order. The UXO QA shall not be an employee of the contractor. At some sites the government may provide the UXO QA. The UXO QA shall be the second signatory to certify MDAS, weight, and contents of each shipment prior to leaving the work site.

Certification:

Munitions and range debris require the following certifications. The SUXOS maintains overall responsibility for all on-site range residue certifications. All processed material shall be accompanied by full documentation/certification on a DD Form 1348-1A, Issue/Release and Receipt Document and chain-of-custody documentation (contractor produced) terminating with receipt by a recycler or landfill. An example DD Form 1348-1A is shown in Section 10.4.

MPPEH will be documented as MDAS. Only UXO Technician III or higher will certify MDAS. The SUXOS is responsible for all on-site MPPEH inspection activities. This individual shall have documented experience with and/or specialized training in the type of MPPEH expected at each site. The 3rd Party UXO QA will provide final certification of MDAS prior to transport off the range.

Document the demilitarization of military aircraft, equipment and munitions signed by two qualified personnel.

Document a radiological survey of all residues signed by a qualified person.

Range Clearance The contractor shall provide an appropriately sized team of UXO-qualified personnel (typically up to 8 people) to conduct range clearance operations as described in Section 1.1.7. Range clearances may be confined to specific targets or may consist of larger areas defined as acres or sections of the range and may include HE munitions impact areas. The range clearance team leader shall be a minimum UXO Tech III. Teams operating in areas known or suspected to contain HE munitions shall be under the direction of a SUXOS with a minimum of one UXO Tech III assistant. The use of UXO Tech I personnel in HE areas must be approved by the R3 Program Manager prior to mobilizing the team. Contractor will not perform range clearance in Extremely Hazardous Contaminated Hazard Areas, i.e. areas containing munitions with influence, random-delay or other hazardous fusing. The team may work independent of range personnel when the work effort is limited to specific targets designated for practice/inert munitions. Large area clearances which require significant off-road travel or encompass HE impact areas will include military EOD to act as escort and QAE. The Air Force may elect to conduct range clearance in conjunction with other R3 activities or as a separate work effort.

DISPOSITION

Recycling:

MDAS described as scrap metal will be recycled to the maximum extent possible. The contractor shall document transportation costs and credits paid for recyclables, and provide a summary to the on-site QAE or Range Manager. Funds received shall offset transportation costs and any recycle funds remaining shall be applied towards: 1) additional R3 work remaining on the task order; 2) R3 work as identified by the QAE; 3) R3 work on future task orders; or 4) returned to the government.

Transportation . The desired method is to transport MDAS directly from the range to the nearest scrap metal vendor for immediate processing. This minimizes risk to the government. The contractor and UXO QA shall perform a final radiological and UXO check of each transport load, the load will be sealed, locked and weighed, and this information documented on the shipping papers. Radiation limits are established in the Nuclear Regulatory Guide 1.86, Table 1, Acceptable Surface Contamination Levels but recyclers typically use a much lower threshold.

The contractor is encouraged to explore ways to optimize the transport and recycling process, such as the use of smaller boxes, rail transport, etc.

Trash:

MDAS with no recycle value will be delivered to a landfill. Concrete and wood will be segregated and left on site unless otherwise directed by range personnel. Tires shall be processed on site or delivered to a tire processing center or landfill authorized for receipt of tires.

Shipment Weights:

All MDAS shipments leaving the site shall be weighed for accountability and to ensure shipments are in compliance with Department of Transportation weight limits. Scales shall be calibrated as needed and calibration dates shall be visible. Scale sheets will be used to track the daily throughput of loads, weights and receivers in support of the chain-of-custody and provide positive control of all material leaving the site.

RCRA-Regulated Materials:

All RCRA-regulated materials such as batteries, antifreeze, oil and other materials encountered shall be delivered to the nearest on-range hazardous waste IAP permitted to receive it for eventual disposal by the government. The contractor shall coordinate with the IAP manager to ensure proper receipt and chain of custody of the items. The contractor shall comply with requirements in 40 CFR 260-270 and installation procedures.

Low Level Radioactive Wastes (LLRW):

LLRW such as luminous dials will be packaged and secured in an on-site storage area (designated by the Range Manager) for eventual disposal by the Government. The contactor shall provide a copy of the LLRW discovery report to the on-site QAE when LLRW is placed at the designated location. The report shall describe the material, quantity, detection instrument make/model and readings obtained.
