Milestones/Objectives as the desired outcome(s) that have been defined in the Performance

Work Statement in clear, simple, concise, results-oriented, measurable and legally enforceable terms. The Government defines the completion of a Performance Based Milestone/Objective as:

an outcome that has been 100% completed and approved and accepted by the approval authority under the Task Order/Contract. Simply meeting the Milestone/Objective, (i.e., submittal of a document for review) is not the same as completion of the Milestone/Objective. Only upon the completion, approval, and acceptance will the Government pay for that Milestone/Objective.

2.14 A Performance Work Statement (PWS) for a Task Order will to every extent possible:

– Define desired results/outcomes.

– Define what level of performance is expected (and ensure it is meaningful, measurable and fair) and use performance standards and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans

– Define incentives and disincentives.

– Define the terms using clear and concise language avoiding vague or broad statements.

3.0 SPECIFIC SERVICES.

3.1 Task Orders. Task Orders issued under this Contract may be Firm-Fixed Price and/or Cost-

Reimbursable incorporating the Service Contract Labor Standards (formally known as the

Service Contract Act) as applicable, depending on the type of work being performed in each individual Task Order. For each Task Order under this contract, the Government will provide a specific Scope of Work (SOW) or PWS describing at a minimum the work required to be performed, performance metrics, schedule requirements, types and numbers of submittals, and places for review. The Contractor shall, upon award of a Task Order, supply all personnel, tools, equipment, communications, transportation, materials and supervision (except as otherwise noted) to integrate, manage, and execute all specified aspects of the Task Order. Currently it is not anticipated that Government-Furnished Property (GFP) will be provided to or acquired under a Cost-Reimbursable CLIN for this acquisition. If GFP is provided or acquired for use on individual TOs, and it is approved to do so IAW FAR 45.102 and DFARS PGI 245.103-70, the

Contractor shall control, maintain, care for, and use Government Property in its possession or control from the time of receipt until properly relieved of responsibility IAW FAR and DFARS clauses outlined in the Contractors Property Management Control Plan.

3.2 Site Visit.

3.2.1 Pre-proposal. A site visit may be authorized by the KO to assist in the preparation of the

Contractor’s proposal. Cost for this site visit will be at the Contractor’s own expense. For site access, the Contractor shall prepare an Abbreviated Accident Prevention Plan (AAPP) to ensure safety precautions are taken to avoid an accident if an AAPP is not provided by CEHNC. A

Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) qualified person shall escort personnel when site conditions warrant. No intrusive activities shall be conducted during the site visit and site access restrictions may apply.

3.2.2 Post Task Order award. A site visit may be authorized by the KO to assist in the preparation of the initial Work Plan (WP) or Uniform Federal Policy (UFP) - Quality Assurance

Project Plan (QAPP) for field activities. Cost for this site visit will be covered under the Task

Order. The Contractor shall prepare an (AAPP) and submit it to the responsible KO for acceptance before the site visit. The format of the AAPP shall comply with current USACE guidance. A UXO qualified person shall escort personnel when site conditions warrant. The

Contractor will not conduct any intrusive activities during the site visit.

3.3 Work Plan. The Contractor shall prepare and submit, for KO acceptance, a WP/UFP-QAPP

IAW DD Form 1423, EM 385-1-1, EM 385-1-97, EM 200-1-15, DID HNC-001.03, or other guidance as specified by the KO, describing how the required effort will be accomplished. The

Contractor may not mobilize to the site or begin working until the KO has accepted the WP and issued a Notice to Proceed (NTP). MEC and/or CWM-related operations may not begin until applicable APPs, SSHPs, AHAs (activity hazard analysis), explosives/CWM safety plans [e.g.

Explosive Safety Submission (ESS), Explosive Siting Plan (ESP), Chemical Siting Plan (CSP), Chemical Safety Submission (CSS), Interim Holding Facility Siting Plan (IHFSP)] have been approved.

3.4 Task Activities. Typical activities under Task Orders to this contract may include, but are not limited to:

- Advanced Geophysical Classification. Advanced Geophysical Classification is a process for determining whether a buried metal object is a military munition. Analysts collect high-quality data on detected metallic objects buried in the ground and interpret this data with computer-based models to estimate the size, shape, and other physical attributes of the buried object. Analysts use this information to determine whether the buried object is likely a munition or harmless debris.

- Administrative and Permanent Record Files. Establish and maintain Administrative and

Permanent Record files for projects in formats required in the project Task Order.

- Air Monitoring. Conduct on-site work area and site perimeter air monitoring for protecting workers, visitors, public, and the environment.

Contractor as a Sub-contractor, for a given project site, installation, Munitions Response Area

(MRA) and/or Munitions Response Site (MRS) shall not be eligible to submit a task order proposal in support of that project under the QA Seeding MATOC. In addition, any Contractor personnel who are associated with the remediation or “primary” Task Order may not work on the

QA Seeding Task Order project in any capacity. The intent of the QA Seeding MATOC is to have a second Contractor, who is completely fenced off from the primary contractor, perform the required QA Seeding to ensure secure firewalls are maintained for blind seeding.

Advanced Geophysical Classification Accreditation Program (DAGCAP). DAGCAP accreditation and AGC requirements shall be in compliance with the Office of the Secretary of

Defense (OSD) Policy Memo dated 11 April 2016 and the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS)
