Vandenberg Performance Based Remediation - Questionnaire.pdf

AFCEE Performance Based Remediation (PBR): NAICS 562910 - RFI

US Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE)

The United States Air Force (USAF) is officially conducting market research that will be used to assess the ability of companies to provide Performance Based Remediation (PBR)(to include: remediation, construction, architecture, and engineering services) in the State of California. Demonstrated abilities will consist of the full range of methods, technologies, and supporting activities necessary to remedy site conditions in accordance with technical and regulatory requirements, and to provide limited minor construction and ancillary services.

Data collected will become the property of the USAF, and will be used to provide a snapshot of how businesses who participated are capable of providing Performance Based Remediation services in the State of California. The data collected will not be shared with any entity outside of the USAF.

If unable to complete this questionnaire in one sitting, you will need to close the questionnaire window and re-open the questionnaire link to edit your response. The questionnaire will start from the beginning, but will show the responses previously entered. This only works if returning to the questionnaire from the original computer (IP address) used initially. All responses are collected based on IP addresses; only one response per IP address is permitted. This edit process will not work if you try to use a different computer to complete your response.

All questions followed by an (*) require a response to continue with the questionnaire.

Thank you for your participation.

This questionnaire is being administered for the USAF by a third-party contractor, Monterey Consultants, Inc. Monterey has signed Non- Disclosure Agreements in place and is restricted under Organizational Conflict of Interest clauses from sharing submitted information with any party except the Air Force. Monterey is not engaged in this industry and does not plan on doing business within this area in the foreseeable future.
