PART 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS

1.1 GENERAL

The objective of this procurement is to obtain services for performing remedial actions at environmentally contaminated sites located predominately at Navy and Marine Corps installations and other Government agencies.

The sites will consist of those ranked on the Superfund National Priority List (NPL) as well as non-NPL sites, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), underground storage tanks (USTs), operational small arms firing ranges, and other sites that might require remedial action.

The work to be ordered under this contract will be performed at various sites within the Naval Facilities Engineering

Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific area of responsibility (AOR) (NAVFAC Hawaii, NAVFAC Marianas, NAVFAC Far East, NAVFAC Northwest, and NAVFAC Southwest). Work may also be added and performed anywhere outside of the NAVFAC Pacific AOR and may include work for other NAVFAC Components, Department of

Defense, or federal agencies, as required by the Government. Additionally, for work outside the United States, all work shall comply with any applicable Department of Defense Instructions and Directives, and shall be performed in compliance with applicable host country laws and regulations and with any applicable Status of Forces Agreement, Treaty requirement, or other applicable international agreement.

The exact location of individual efforts will be designated on individual Contract Task Orders (CTOs). This contract may include performance of work on private, county, or state lands that are associated with the areas identified above.

CONTRACTOR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR WORK OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Task Orders under this contract may be awarded and performed outside the United States and its Territories. Projects may require services in countries that impose restrictions or prohibitions on the use of non-national labor and/or businesses and may require the development of partnerships, joint ventures, or other arrangements with local businesses. Contractors must be duly authorized to operate and conduct business in any host country and must fully comply with all laws, decrees, labor standards, and regulations of the host country during the performance of the contract. The United States may have Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs) with some countries and those agreements must be complied with. Unless explicitly provided in the RFP for the relevant task order, the U.S.

Government will not offer “United States Official Contractor,” “Technical Representative,” or similar status under any SOFA; nor will the U.S. Government certify any employees of a contractor as “Members of the Civilian

Component” under a SOFA. Offerors are expected to familiarize themselves with the laws of host nations whether or not the United States Government provides notice of the existence of such requirements.
