1.0 OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to provide timely response to, and the clean-up of, hazardous material and hazardous waste spills resulting from activities performed at or by Hill Air Force Base (HAFB), either on or off-Base; to include the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) and associated facilities (Little Mountain, Carter Creek, etc.). This SOW defines the range of required services as well as defining management and reporting requirements. The Contractor shall provide services, technical man-hours, materials and equipment required to perform the work described in this SOW.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The primary mission of HAFB is a logistics center employing approximately 24,000 military and civilian personnel, reservists, and contractors. Hill is an Air Force Materiel Command base located in northern Utah and is home to many operational and support missions, with the Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC) serving as the host organization. The center provides worldwide engineering and logistics management for the F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt II, and Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. The base performs depot maintenance of the F-16, A-10 and C-130 Hercules aircraft. Covering more than 6,650 acres, the base itself includes 228 miles of roads, 28 miles of railroads, 1,475 buildings and 11 aircraft hangars. The 13,500 ft runway accommodates any aircraft in the Air Force inventory. In a typical year, locally based and transient aircraft will log more than 50,000 takeoffs and landings.

The 388th Range Squadron operates and maintains the UTTR. The primary mission of the UTTR is to provide responsive open-air training and test services that support day-to-day training, large force training exercises, and large footprint weapons testing, thus guaranteeing superiority for American's war fighters and their weapons systems. The 388th Range Squadron provides key functions and capabilities required for range support of Air Force operational test and training programs. This includes range infrastructure systems, equipment, software, targets, facilities, data processing and display, land and airspace, security, and safety. The UTTR provides the largest overland safety footprint available in the Department of Defense (DoD) for aircrew training and weapons testing. It supports training customers with capabilities for air-to-ground, air-to-air, and ground force exercises.

As a result of the missions and logistic support activities performed by the Base and the UTTR, hazardous materials that could adversely affect human health and the environment are stored and used on the Base and the UTTR or in equipment operated by Base and UTTR personnel (i.e. aircraft, industrial equipment, vehicles, etc). In the event that any of these materials are unintentionally released to the environment, HAFB and the UTTR are required to comply with the requirements of the most current version of the Integrated Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plans (SPCC) for Hill Air Force Base, Utah (which includes state and federal requirements) and the UTTR. As defined in their respective SPCC plans, the HAFB and UTTR Fire Departments perform the initial response to any spill when 911 is called. A Contractor will be used to accomplish emergency and post-emergency response actions (specifically clean-up), ensuring the procedural and regulatory requirements of the SPCC are complied with.

3.0 SCOPE AND TASKING

The Contractor shall provide all manpower, equipment, and materials necessary to provide emergency and post-emergency response to Level 1 through 3 chemical spills as defined in the SPCC. The responsibilities of the post emergency response clean-up team (contractor) are defined in Section 3.1.1.4 of the SPCC. This tasking or section of this delivery order may be extended or changed through contract modification at the government’s option. Specific tasking is identified in the remainder of this section.

3.1 Response Actions

The Contractor shall provide personnel, equipment, and materials to respond to the Base within one hour of notification and to the UTTR within two hours of notification.

3.1.1 Response Team Structure

The Contractor shall have, at a minimum, two initial points of contact for notification, a duty person, and a back-up. Contact must be made with an individual in the Contractor’s project team. The Contractor shall have, at a minimum, two teams of response personnel that can be called upon. While one team will generally be adequate, there may be times when that team is responding to other duties and not available to this delivery order.

A list of Hill AFB and UTTR personnel authorized to initiate a response action by the Contractor will be provided to the Contractor and all relevant emergency response organizations. The HAFB/UTTR representative will provide all pertinent information as required by the SPCC. Upon receipt of a request to respond to a spill, the Contractor shall call the Contracting Officer; provide their name, organization, the name of the person requesting the response action, reason given for response action request, time of request, name of lead individual responding, and contact telephone number. * If a spill occurs after hours and Contracting approval or authorization is not needed in regard to exceeding the expenditure limit, voice mail messages are acceptable. If Contracting authorization is needed, call the Hill Consolidated Command Post (HCCP) at 777-3007.

3.1.2 Response Action Requirements

The Contractor shall respond to spills as defined in Section 5.2.3 of the SPCC including neutralizing, deactivating, and/or adsorbing any remaining spilled material as appropriate; recover and clean up the spilled material and materials contaminated by the spill. Spilled materials shall be recovered for reuse/recycling when possible. The Contractor shall containerize contaminated soil or other media, clean exposed surfaces, decontaminate materials and equipment contaminated by the spill, and take other immediate actions intended to mitigate or eliminate long term impacts to the environment and to permit government workers to resume normal work activities near the spill site.

The Contractor shall ensure that wastes that may be incompatible with the released material are not treated, stored, or disposed of in the affected area until the clean-up procedures are completed. All response action material, equipment, and debris that cannot be decontaminated shall be collected and containerized for disposal. The contractor shall sample containerized material, soils, and other possibly affected media such as air, ground water, or drinking water, as necessary to determine if the spill site is clean.

Bioenvironmental Engineering (SGPB) shall be responsible for determining when government workers may return to the area. Environmental Management (CEV) shall be responsible to determine appropriate disposal requirements for response action media, materials, equipment and debris that cannot be decontaminated. The Contractor will be required to provide a written report (e-mail is acceptable) to CEV to allow identification and characterization of the response action waste as required in the SPCC.

NOTE: Critical response capabilities specific to Hill AFB include but are not limited to: incidents involving fuel (there is in excess of 6 million gallons of JP-8 in bulk storage), Mercury, Hydrazine, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS), shock-sensitive items, potential need for multiple vacuum trucks (capacity of approx. 6K gallons) and heavy equipment to include diaphragm pumps, floating skimmer, metal 25 cubic yard roll-off containers, fully equipped response vans and/or trailers, etc. The contractor must be equipped and qualified to handle these issues/situations.

3.1.3 Response Action Documentation

Upon completion of the response action, the Contractor shall provide a brief report describing the actions taken including the timeframe for these actions. A separate section shall be appended to the report containing recommendations for changes in procedures or facilities that may mitigate impacts in future events. The Contractor may be required to attend a meeting to brief the HAFB Project Manager, Contracting Officer, Senior Fire Official/Incident Commander, and/or other personnel, to ensure transfer of all pertinent information relating to the response action to HAFB and UTTR personnel.
