1.0 SCOPE

This requirement is for environmental remediation activities at the Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC), formerly known as the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR), located in Cape Cod, MA.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) includes the scope of a full range of environmental, minor construction and engineering, and operations and services activities necessary for investigation, design, remedial action, remedial construction, and environmental remediation activities to achieve minimum performance objectives and support progress to Site Closeout (SC) at 19 Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and 8 Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) sites in the Performance Based Remediation (PBR) contract.

1.1 Introduction

JBCC is a multi-use base with various government agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard, Air National Guard, Massachusetts Air National Guard, Massachusetts Army National Guard, and Veterans Affairs.

Remediation activities at the Air Force (AF) IRP at JBCC are being conducted pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan (NCP) requirements. Regulatory oversight is provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP).

JBCC was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1989. The installation is being administered under a Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA) established in 1991. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is not a signatory; however, EPA will not sign decision documents (DD) such as Records of Decision (ROD) or Explanations of Significant Differences (ESD) without MassDEP concurrence.

1.2 General PBR Scope and Requirements

The Contractor shall perform all the necessary environmental construction and engineering activities as required to achieve the performance objectives of this PWS.

Enclosure 1 lists the sites included in the scope of this contract.

The AF is required to implement remedies as necessary to protect human health and the environment. The intent of the PBR initiative is to maximize the number of SCs or advance sites as close to SC as practicable during the Period of Performance (POP) in a cost effective and realistic manner. It is desirable to the AF that Life-Cycle Costs (LCC) be reduced. The AF is interested in substantial reduction of long-term environmental liabilities and LCCs through accelerated achievement of SC and optimization of environmental restoration activities for all sites included in this contract while complying with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations; and applicable base-specific orders, agreements, or rules. General performance objectives pursuant to the AF’s overarching goals are listed below in order of priority:

1) Achieve SC as defined in Enclosure 4 during the POP.

2) For any site not achieving SC during the POP, achieve, in order of priority;

a. Response Complete (RC)

b. Remedy in Place (RIP)

c. The furthest objective within the regulatory structure for each site (e.g. Decision

Document (DD), Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection (PA/SI), etc.)

3) The Contractor shall develop an Optimized Exit Strategy (OES) for sites identified in Table 1 of this PWS that have an approved DD prior to, or during the POP, but do not achieve SC. The Contractor shall describe the strategy in an OES Plan to achieve the following objectives:

• Maintain compliance with all DDs and plans (currently in place or to be approved) until no longer required or an alternate approach is approved.

• Correct Five-Year Review deficiencies where identified as no longer protective of human health and the environment at all sites.

• Apply innovative technologies to minimize the cost and period of operating, monitoring and treatment.

• Update the Conceptual Site Model (CSM), existing systems, and contamination sources to support optimization.

• Provide an analysis of alternatives for each site to aggressively accelerate treatment and progress to expedite SC. Alternatives shall include engineering cost estimates, conceptual designs, and a business case analysis.

• Develop performance indicators, decision criteria, and objectives consistent with the performance model described below that will be used to optimize remedial efficiency, quantify how the response is progressing and demonstrate when the objective has been reached. An OES Plan shall be delivered within one year from either date of award or exercise of the option of the SubCLIN whichever is applicable. An OES Implementation Completion Report shall be delivered upon completion of the implementation of the optimization efforts in the approved OES Plan, and one of the final milestones shall be an OES Effectiveness Report.

o The OES Effectiveness Report shall include:

a) Documentation of what remedial strategies were implemented, what remains to be implemented, and any modifications to the OES arising from performance to date.

b) A realistic schedule to achieve SC or RC after the POP (the Contractor shall identify which performance objective is the optimal endpoint). For sites with an indeterminate project completion date, a schedule for 30 years including the POP is required.

c) The remaining definable and measurable milestones after the POP.

4) For all sites listed in Table 1 of this PWS that have an approved DD prior to or during the

POP and are not being proposed to SC during the POP, the Contractor shall develop performance models that describe the expected course of the remediation process (i.e.

how conditions are expected to change over time as measured using appropriate performance indicators from the current state until the performance objective is achieved). For all sites being proposed to SC during the POP, the work planning documents are expected to contain the performance model. The Contractor shall provide monitoring reports that demonstrate whether or not the remedial approach is performing in accordance with the performance model. For purposes of reporting Contractor progress and status, these conditions shall be quantified by performance indicators relevant to the proposed remedial approach. A performance model is a graphic representation of a performance indicator value over time until a performance objective is achieved. Several indicators may be needed to adequately reflect performance. The Contractor shall report the actual remedy performance compared to projected performance. The Contractor shall ensure consistency and continuity of information regarding performance between the Project Management Plan (PMP), Integrated Master Schedule (IMS)/Milestone Payment Schedule (MPS), and OES Plan.

Within the construct of the goals and objectives above, the minimum performance objectives and specific performance objectives to be achieved for each site during the POP for this contract effort are outlined in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively, of this PWS. It should be noted that the Government reserves the right not to exercise all options not awarded at the time of contract award.

This PWS, tables, and enclosures listed below include general requirements of the project to meet the AF objectives:

• Enclosure 1 – Site List

• Enclosure 2 – Key Documents

• Enclosure 3 – Government Furnished Equipment (GFE)/Government Furnished Property

(GFP)

• Enclosure 4 – Acronyms and Definitions

• Enclosure 5 – Format For Metadata and .pdf Documents

The Contractor shall function as an integral team member in support of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) missions, to include the sharing of information with other AFCEC contractors and AF personnel, and cooperation with community stakeholders, regulators, and other Government entities.

Requirements for efficient management of this contract include, but are not limited to, the submission of accurate, on-time, quality contract deliverables and timely identification and solution of impediments to successful project execution. Technical requirements include, but are not limited to, early involvement in the process to allow for the development of the most cost-effective and technically sound approach or solution. AFCEC will rely on the Contractor’s expertise in recognizing and addressing problematic issues and successful execution of this contract. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. The Contractor shall also comply with base regulations. Remedies shall conform to environmental permits, decision document requirements, or other legal requirements.

2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The Contractor shall identify and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes; AF military instructions, manuals, handbooks, regulations, guidance, and policy letters (including AF policy and guidance for IRP and MMRP); Executive Orders (EOs); American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM); American Petroleum Institute (API) Codes; National Association of Corrosions Engineers (NACE); National Fire Protection (NFPA); Steel Structures and Painting Counsel (SSPC); National Electrical Code (NEC); Uniform Fire Code (UFC); and International Building Code (IBC) including all changes and amendments in effect on the date of issuance of this contract. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to identify and comply with all applicable requirements. In addition, the Contractor shall refer to the current versions of the Department of Defense (DoD) Policy and Guidelines for Acquisitions Involving Environmental Sampling or Testing and The United States AF Construction Management Implementation Guide.

The Contractor shall identify and comply with all applicable documents for the bases including, but not limited to, Records of Decision (RODs), ROD Amendments, Explanation of Significant Differences (ESDs), RCRA Permits and subsequent modifications, Risk Evaluation Corrective Action Program (RECAP) documents, the Endangered Species Act, other Decision Documents, Deeds, and conveyance notices. Key base-specific documents are listed in Enclosure 2.

The Contractor is solely responsible for reviewing all publicly available information and forming their independent, professional conclusions/interpretation of site conditions and requirements to achieve the performance objectives of this contract. The information provided in this PWS is not intended as a substitute for complete analysis of technical data available, nor is it intended to be a guide on how the Contractor should address achievement of the performance objectives.

3.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED INFORMATION, EQUIPMENT, AND

PROPERTY (GFI, GFE, GFP)

Government Furnished Information is listed in Enclosure 2, Key Documents. The AF believes that documentation provided with the solicitation represents the most recent and appropriate documentation available for the Installation and sites identified in this contract. However, if there is a conflict between this information and other site documentation (the existing reports), the Contractor is solely responsible for reviewing all available information and forming their independent, professional conclusions/interpretation of site conditions and requirements to achieve the performance objectives of this contract. Specific documents may be made available following a request to the Contracting Officer (CO), if the documentation can be distributed in a timely manner. Electronic format is not guaranteed.

The Contractor shall properly account for and manage all new and existing GFE and/or GFP procured and utilized at the bases in accordance with the applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Lists of GFE/GFP are provided in Enclosure 3.

Remediation systems may or may not be listed as GFE and/or GFP. The Contractor is responsible for providing all other supplies and equipment, not already installed and not listed in Enclosure 3, required to achieve the performance objectives of this contract. All AF owned property used for remediation purposes must be maintained by the Contractor in accordance with applicable maintenance requirements. The Contractor is responsible for proper return or disposal of excess or unserviceable equipment or materials as required during the duration of this contract. Prior to disposal of excess or unserviceable equipment listed in Enclosure 3, the Contractor shall coordinate activities with the CO for disposition instructions.

4.0 MANAGEMENT, PLANNING, AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall implement a full range of construction and engineering activities as required to meet objectives of this contract and in accordance with all applicable base, regulatory, and site requirements. The Contractor shall supply all labor, equipment, and materials necessary to accomplish the work. The Contractor shall perform management and planning functions, including performance measurement and fund status reporting.

4.1 Milestone Payment Schedule (MPS)

Milestone payments shall be based on the completion of definable and measurable steps, which are considered integral and necessary to the achievement of the stated performance objectives.

Completion of milestones shall demonstrate payment is appropriate and warranted. AF approval of the documentation supporting the completion of the milestone is required for payment (for example, AF approval of Draft Remedial Investigation report, AF acceptance that interim and final performance goals per approved performance models have been achieved). Where regulatory acceptance/concurrence is required for this documentation, AF acceptance of the milestone will occur following Air Force and regulatory acceptance/concurrence of the documentation (for example, EPA approval of Draft Record of Decision). For milestones where regulatory acceptance/concurrence is required and regulatory acceptance/concurrence cannot be obtained, the AF will evaluate the Contractor’s documents to determine if they are legally and technically acceptable to warrant payment for achieving that milestone.

The Contractor’s proposed MPS may require restructure of Contract Line Item Number (CLIN)/Sub-CLINs, if necessary, to align with projected available funding prior to award;

however, the MPS is not final with award of the contract. Changes made to the MPS prior to award are used to finalize the Sub-CLINs description and amount. Award of this contract does not equate to final acceptance of the MPS. The MPS shall be included as part of the PMP. The MPS will be negotiated during development of the Project Management Plan (PMP) and may require additional changes. The Contractor shall submit the MPS in an electronic format consistent/compatible with the AFCEC SharePoint website, e-DASH. Final decisions regarding the adequacy of milestone and deliverable completion resides solely with the COR and Base

Point of Contact (POC). The COR in consultation with the Base POC will take into consideration the appropriate acceptance and/or concurrence of necessary site remediation documentation by regulators, consistent with applicable regulatory drivers of this PWS.

Management and overhead type costs (program/project management, monthly reporting, mobilization costs, etc.) do not provide measureable program advancement and are not appropriate milestone payments. These costs/expenses should be allocated into site, site grouping, or Operable Unit (OU)-related milestone payments that provide demonstrable value to the program. Milestones shall not represent a “progress” payment or a monthly payment for level of effort expended. Completing site mobilization/demobilization (unless exempted by CO), accomplishment of field activities, or submittal of a monthly status or Operations and Maintenance (O&M) reports are examples of unacceptable milestone payments.

The first deliverable milestone required in the MPS is the Opening phase PMP. The PMP deliverable milestone shall be contract inclusive. The Contractor shall not allocate costs to specific sites or include indirect costs associated with sites. Upon determination of bona fide need, a second PMP Sub-CLIN for the Closing phase may be exercised. The PMP shall be updated annually or as necessary to remain current with the approved execution strategy.

The Contractor shall complete an MPS and identify milestone payments and the associated payment schedule on a site by site basis. The Contractor may also propose logical groupings of sites or OUs for milestone payment purposes where an approach provides greater efficiency for the program; however, a Sub-CLIN involving multiple sites shall identify milestones by individual sites in order to support AF reporting requirements. Achievement of the awarded performance objective for Table 1 and Table 2 sites of this PWS shall be the final payment milestone for each SubCLIN. Potential CLIN and Sub-CLINs are described in the CLIN/MPS/IMS Guidance.

The number of milestone payments per site should be limited to a reasonable amount based on the scope and anticipated duration to achieve the performance objective at the site. The Contractor is limited to one invoice submitted to AFCEC per month. The invoice must itemize the milestone payments for each site or grouping associated with the invoice.

If the Contractor has to continue working beyond the performance objective date to achieve a final milestone (applies to Sub-CLIN dates only) the Contractor shall submit a period of performance extension request to the CO at least 60 days prior to the expiration date of the Sub- CLIN. However, the Contractor shall not perform work after the funding associated with the milestone cancels. Specifically, completion of activities on an individual Sub-CLIN cannot exceed 30 days prior to the end of the fiscal year; five years from the date of exercising of the Sub-CLIN. However, the Contractor will not receive payment until milestones are achieved in accordance with the MPS. The Contractor may receive a negative past performance rating for delay in achievement of the impacted performance objectives.

4.2 Project Management Plan (PMP)

The Contractor shall develop and maintain a detailed PMP. The PMP shall include the Technical Approach, IMS, and MPS, prepared as part of the Contractor’s proposal. In addition, the PMP shall specify the resources required for the planning, execution, control, and completion of the stated performance objectives. At a minimum, the PMP shall include the following sections:

technical approach, performance objectives in accordance with the PWS, draft Performance Models, organization and integration of the project team, schedule management and project controls, transitional activities, risk management, Sub-CLIN management, quality management, health and safety management, project communications and stakeholders, procurement management, and security management. The PMP should identify the project’s resources and project tasks corresponding to the Sub-CLINs for this contract.

In order to align with the availability and expiration of Government funds, the Contractor shall prepare two versions of the PMP. The initial (or opening phase) PMP will govern activities from award to the midpoint of the POP. The closing phase PMP will govern activities from the midpoint of the POP the end of the POP and will be funded approximately 4.5 years from contract award or upon CO determination of bona fide need.

The first draft of the opening phase PMP shall be due within 30 calendar days of contract award and subsequent revisions shall be subject to AF review and approval. The revised version of the opening phase PMP shall be due within 14 calendar days from receipt of AF comments. The PMP shall be updated annually, or as necessary, throughout the contract to remain current with the approved execution strategy.

The first draft of the closing phase PMP shall be due within 30 calendar days of Sub-CLIN award. The closing phase PMP will be a logical follow-on of the final version of the opening phase PMP. The revised version of the closing phase PMP shall be due within 14 calendar days from receipt of AF comments. The PMP shall be updated annually, or as necessary, throughout the contract to remain current with the approved execution strategy.

The final milestone for the Opening phase PMP Sub-CLIN shall be a Project Status Summary and for the Closing phase PMP Sub-CLIN shall be a Project Closeout Summary. The revised versions and all annual updates of both the Opening and Closing phase PMP shall be submitted in an electronic format consistent/compatible with the AFCEC SharePoint website, e-DASH.

The Project Status Summary and Project Closeout Summary shall include summaries of the following: progress on achievement of objectives, progress on achievement of milestones including performance models, schedule achievements or delays, issues and risks, and other project indicators as required by the CO, COR and Base POC. In addition, the Project Closeout Summary shall include required information to support closeout of the contract as defined by the CO, COR and Base POC.

4.3 PBR Document Repository

The Contractor shall maintain a document repository for all PBR documents to include, but not be limited to information on meetings, documents submitted, sub-CLIN details, milestone status as agreed to in the PMP; current topics associated with the PBR, basic PBR statistics and objectives, stakeholder Point of Contact (POC) information; calendar of events, meetings milestones; laboratory results and reports, 3D conceptual models; groundwater reports, analysis, studies; links to administrative records/information repository records and to associated appropriate reference documents- state and federal policy guidance; and key performance indicator tracking. The repository is intended to be a single access point repository for all PBR documentation. It shall be accessible to stakeholders during the life of the PBR. The Contractor shall provide notifications to the COR, CO, and Base POC at the time data is included in the repository. At close-out, all repository documents will be transferred to DVD media and delivered to the AF and placed on the AFCEC contractor drop-zone website (address provided under separate cover).

4.4 Schedule and Planning Requirements – Integrated Master Schedule (IMS)

The Contractor shall prepare and submit an IMS for approval that includes activities and milestones at a detailed level and presents sequenced events for completion of the proposed performance objectives within the time designated and any critical path items that may affect ability to meet the schedule. The Contractor shall include and identify all performance milestones and payments consistent with the approved MPS. Sites associated with each milestone/task shall be noted in the schedules using the Site IDs and referencing all site aliases noted in Table 1 and Table 2 of this PWS and Sub-CLINs. The schedule shall be provided in initial hardcopy and subsequently in electronic format consistent/compatible with AF software, currently Microsoft Project and in Adobe Acrobat portable document file (.pdf). Updated and revised schedules shall be submitted electronically to the AFCEC SharePoint website with monthly status reports with changes clearly identified by the Contractor.

4.5 Cost and Status Reporting

The Contractor shall prepare and submit a monthly Contractor’s Progress, Status, and Management Report (CPSMR). The CPSMR shall be used to review and evaluate the overall progress of the project, along with any existing or potential problem areas. The report shall be prepared in an electronic format consistent/compatible with the AFCEC SharePoint website, e- DASH. The CPSMR shall also be used to indicate whether efforts for each site are on target for meeting the Contractor’s proposed performance objective.

The CPSMR shall include a summary of the events that occurred during the reporting period, discussion of performance, identification of problems, proposed solutions, corrective actions taken, outstanding issues, and payments made toward the MPS to date.

The Contractor is required to report monthly, quarterly, and yearly metrics via AFCEC’s SharePoint website, e-DASH. The Contractor will be required to upload the following reports:

• Monthly: % expensed, % complete, and % on time addressing each Sub-CLIN for an AF dashboard roll-up.

• Quarterly (except where noted): Performance indicators (PIs) associated with each site, for an AF dashboard roll-up. Examples for consideration may include the following;

however, the AF will only approve indicators appropriate for the proposed technology:

o Mass loading rate o Volumetric loading rate o Mass removal rate o Cumulative mass removed o Unit cost o Cumulative cost o Variable operating cost o Mass flux o Energy consumption and production rate (monthly) o Greenhouse gas emission production and reduction rate o Decay rate o Reaction rate o Center of mass o Disturbances o Water consumption rate o Percent time pump and treat systems are operating (monthly) o gallons of groundwater treated (monthly);
