63 This section states “…to support full engine crew, airfield, rescue crew, Basic Life Support medical emergency response, and stand-by support operations…”, and section 3.4.1.1 (n) states “Emergency medical response at the Basic Life Support level IAW AFI 32-2001”, however, section 3.4.1.1

(o) states “Patient transport at the advanced life support level” and section 3.4.3.5 discusses providing ALS response to Arnold AFB. Is the intent to have both BLS and ALS response or just two additional personnel

Per AFI 32-2001, all Fire and Emergency Services Operations section personnel are required to be certified to the Department of Transportation (DOT) Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) level. The draft PWS also requires two additional personnel who are Advanced Life Support (ALS) certified.

who are ALS certified? Or is the intent to staff BLS and then have supplemental ALS (an outside contract agency for example)? If ALS only, consider amending the PWS as such.

64 Section 3.4.1.1 (f) discusses water-borne spills as a fire and rescue function and section 3.4.4.3 discusses purchase of vehicles with a 16,500 pound towing capability. Without benefit of a GPE list, one might conclude that water-rescue and boat operations might be a function of the fire department. Is that the intent?

The draft PWS has been updated to delete the water-borne spills reference from 3.4.1.1. Water-rescue and boat operations are not a function of FSS II Fire and Emergency Services. The Government Furnished Property (GFP) will be provided with the draft Request for Proposal (RFP).

65 Section 3.4.1.1 (p) discusses wildland firefighting IAW the AEDC WFMP – does the fire department also provide prescribed fire services?

AFI 10-802, Military Support to Civil Authorities, has been superseded by AFI 10-801, Defense Support to Civil Authorities. The Contractor shall meet the intent of the most up to date Air Force Instruction covering support to civil authorities, which is now included in AFI 10-801. The draft PWS was changed to reflect AFI 10-801 as the proper reference.

70 Does the local Command require backfill of personnel if a response is made under the mutual aid plan or is there a minimum staffing number that is required?

During a mutual aid response, the FSS II Fire and Emergency Services Assistant Chief of Operations (ACO) may determine the need for addition forces when / if the incident is expected to last for an extended period of time. The decision to backfill personnel is made by the ACO by taking into account distance form the base, time expected to mitigate the response, etc. Over the last 5 years, the ACO has made the decision to backfill personnel once.

71 The PWS section discusses respiratory protection and SCBA. Is the SCBA GFE? What brand and model are they and how old are they? How many units are there? If GFE, is replacement funding programmed? Are they compatible with mutual aid agencies?

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is provided by the Government and funding is programmed by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center. The GFE list will include full descriptions and quantities of equipment provided by the Government. Arnold AFB uses a different kind of SCBA than mutual aid agencies, however it should be noted that mutual aid agencies have the capability to fill the bottles.

72 Does the non-RCRA Haz Waste number include PCB waste, asbestos waste, and universal waste? Is there a better breakdown of this number as it increased by 270%? Is there any radioactive waste from the site?

The non-Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste numbers may include Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) waste (ex. oil contaminated with PCBs) and all universal wastes (batteries, lamps, etc.).

Asbestos waste usually goes to the Arnold AFB asbestos landfill. RCRA hazardous waste and non-RCRA hazardous waste are treated and processed the same way at Arnold AFB. RCRA and non-RCRA hazardous waste fluctuates each year based on workload requirements (see 11 year history of RCRA hazardous waste in Appendix G). Currently there is no radioactive waste produced at Arnold AFB. If any is produced in the future, it would be the responsibility of the producer to properly dispose of.

73 Will the full suite of plans be available to review in a ‘library’ with the

RFP?

All plans that are available for public release will be included in the Competition Library. In some cases, distribution restrictions or plans that are proprietary to the FSS I contractor will restrict the Government from posting certain documents.

74 Do you require a Tennessee PE stamp for the SPCC Plan (that is, can it be a PE from another state)?

As defined in 40 CFR 112.3(d), the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan must be certified by a licensed professional engineer. Tennessee Code Annotated § 62-2-101 requires that if the seal of a professional engineer is required on SPCC plans for a facility in Tennessee, then a Tennessee-registered professional engineer must seal the plans.

75 Regarding the NPDES program, are there or have there been in the last 5 years, any Notices of Violation (NOVs) associated with the program or any out fall / monitoring points?

All recent Arnold AFB compliance history can be found in the EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database found at https://echo.epa.gov/.

76 PWS states the contractor shall support in ‘environmental management enforcement’. What is the intent here? One contractor cannot ‘police’ or ‘enforce’ laws and regulations across other contracts.

The contractor is required to support all aspects of environmental management, to include environmental management enforcement / auditing / reporting requirements. These activities include assessments, audits, data collection, etc., and will result in advising the Government on recommendations for final determination / action. The intent is not for the FSS II contractor to enforce laws and regulations on contracts outside of FSS II.

77 PWS states “The ECAMP will include conformance and compliance self-assessments and track preventative/corrective actions, IAW DoDI 4715.17, DoDI 4715.06, AFI 90-201, AFI 90-801…” However, in section 3.5.5, AFI 90-801 is listed as ‘Guidance’. Please clarify.

Draft PWS 3.5.4.8.2 is focused on Environmental Compliance Assessment and Management Program (ECAMP) rather than the Environmental, Safety, and Occupation Health Council (ESOHC), which is the focus of AFI 90-801. AFI 90-801 is considered a guidance document for ECAMP inputs into the ESOHC. The draft PWS has been updated to remove AFI 90-801 from the list of required documents in 3.5.4.8.2.

78 The cited ‘AFI 90-803’ should read ‘AFPAM 90-803’. The title is correct. The draft PWS has been updated to correct the 3.5.5 reference to AFPAM 90-803.

79 Are food service inspections included in the Safety Program? Food service inspections are a Public Health Government function, and are not included in the FSS II Safety Program.

80 PWS states requirements as stated in AFI 91-204, but section 3.6.4 lists AFI 91-204 as guidance. Please clarify.

The draft PWS has been updated to correct the 3.6.4 reference to AFI 91- 204 as a mandatory document.

81 Will a new FSS contractor have access to past baseline information, as well as reports and records with respect to OEH?

All inspections and documentation are maintained by the Government and will be available to the FSS II awardee.

82 Does the Contractor’s vehicle recovery/wrecker service extend beyond the AEDC boundary? If so, what are the response times and area of operational responsibility for vehicle recovery/wrecker services that are provided off base?

The draft PWS has been updated to clarify that recovery and wrecker service will not extend beyond the confines of installation property. All vehicles and equipment items within the contractor's scope are utilized in the operational area of the base and / or within installation property.

83 Is the Command and Control Vehicle (CACV) discussed in this section one of the two discussed in section 3.4.4.3 (a) or is it a third vehicle?

The Command and Control Vehicle (CACV) is a separate vehicle from the ones described in PWS 3.4.4.3. The CACV requirement is for the Installation Commander as defined in AFI 24-301.

84 Is the intent of the requirement “The Contractor shall provide and operate vehicle for the purpose of transporting Arnold Village school children…” to direct the FSS contractor to own and operate the bus, and prohibit a subcontract with an external school bus operator? Please clarify.

The FSS II contractor has the discretion to fulfill PWS requirement

3.10.4.3.1 either organically or via subcontract.

85 DPWS Section 3.1.1.3.3 states "The Contractor shall ensure all subcontractors enter into a Visitor Group Security Agreement (VGSA) with the AEDC Commander, as determined by the SSA IAW AFI16-1406". Does this refer to all subcontractors at AEDC, or just the subcontractors which will be under the FSS II contractor?

PWS 3.1.1.3.3 requirement refers to FSS II subcontractors only.

86 DPWS Section 3.1.1.4.6 states "The Contractor shall ensure the ISSM, ISSO and System Administrators are physically located at Arnold AFB and AEDC Moffett Field." However, in the Industry Day 2 Briefing slides, it was stated that only one full-time employee would be at AEDC Moffet Field, which would be an ISSM. Can you clarify how many full-time employees will be based at Moffet Field for the FSS II contract? If there is only one full-time employee at Moffet, an ISSM, then may the ISSM also serve as the site PSR?

The draft PWS 3.1 section has been substantially revised with respect to Industrial Security support at AEDC Moffett Field. Specifically, draft PWS

3.1.1.4.6 has been revised to state, "The Contractor shall ensure the ISSM, ISSO and System Administrators are physically located at Arnold AFB."
