Part 1: General Information

1. Performance Work Statement (PWS) General: This is a non-personal service(s) contract under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This is a non-personal service(s) contract to provide Base Operations (BASEOPs) support services to support the U.S. Army Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) operational readiness and technical support during the Department of the Army Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) mission of the PCD to include human capital, resource management and training support services; strategic planning, programmatic, compliance and closure support; facilities, infrastructure, equipment and systems repair and maintenance; personal and real property support; water, septic, and waste systems support; grounds maintenance; environmental management and compliance support; information management; health and safety office support; public affairs office support; and security services support.

1.2 Background: The U.S. Army Chemical Materials Activity (CMA) Transition Management Office (TMO) is responsible for integrating the overall transition approach for the chemical storage activities, depots, and chemical demilitarization facilities. The focus of the TMO is to provide direction for each of the seven (7) P’s – people, plant, place, public, property, paper, and performance. Currently, each of the P’s has an associated objective and each site transition manager is tracking progress towards those objectives. Also, each CMA site has prepared a Transition Planning Guide, and all site activities are focusing all activities towards a single closure in relation to the planning guide. The end goal is to ensure CMA resources are properly utilized while adjusting closure schedules and costs. CMA continues to marshal the resources and guidance needed to ensure both sites complete their closure mission in a timely, safe and cost-effective manner.

The CMA site, PCD, is executing closure activities after formal completion of operations as well as dealing with periodic changes to closure strategies. These plans need to be captured and schedules shall require modification based on actual operational data. Strategies developed from this task will support the CMA Headquarters (HQ) and PCD in making timely decisions in preparation for ultimate closure. As a result of lessons learned from completed CMA site closures, it has been determined that PCD requires management and technical expertise, beyond that found within the existing federal work force, to support the installation’s mission. This scope of services will include technical services and program support to a

Page 2 of 40 NOV 2023 number of installation divisions and departments. The Government team will oversee the required services which will include program management, operations, and technical support involving facilities and infrastructure, strategic planning, planning and implementation support, inspection and compliance program support, environmental management support, and closure planning support.

The Contractor shall perform to the standards and acceptable quality levels identified in this PWS and associated contract documents. The scope of this effort is to provide operational readiness; closure and transition support; real property support;

Department of Army BRAC support; environmental planning; support of facilities and infrastructure; strategic, compliance, and planning programs; environmental management support; operational readiness support and technical support for PCD. In addition, the Contractor shall furnish personnel and services to perform technical, mechanical and environmental-related support set forth in this contract.

1.4 Objectives: The three (3) objectives of this contract are to 1) update and support maintenance of site closure action plans and project execution schedules 2) support ongoing operations at PCD and, 3) support CMA HQ with environmental and human capital activities.
