CONTRACT SECTION C -- STATEMENT OF WORK

CERCLA Remedial Investigation and Response Actions at

The Former McClellan AFB

PART A – INTRODUCTION

This statement of work (SOW) defines requirements for A-E services in support of the Air Force

Civil Engineer’s environmental program area. Place of performance shall be at the Former

McClellan AFB located in Sacramento, California.

McClellan AFB was placed on the Nation Priorities List (NPL) on July 22, 1987. In 1989, the

Air Force, United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 9, and the California

Department of Health Services (CDHS) signed an Interagency Agreement (IAG) for the cleanup.

The IAG was executed in 1990. CDHS was later reorganized, and Department of Toxic

Substances Control (DTSC) assumed CDHS’s responsibilities under the Interagency Agreement.

In addition to DTSC, the State of California is represented by the Central Valley Regional Water

Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for issues affecting the state’s waters. Under the Installation

Restoration Program (IRP), the investigation and remediation of contamination at the installation has been conducted in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

The Final Perfluorinated Compound Preliminary Assessment (PA), former McClellan Air Force

Base California dated 2016 identified 52 potential aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) release areas. Fifteen areas were categorized as no further action. The 37 remaining AFFF areas were determined to have potential or confirm AFFF releases requiring further investigation. A Site

Investigation (SI) was completed in 2020. The SI identified perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exceeding the 2016 USEPA lifetime health advisory (HA) within 9 groundwater monitoring wells. Analytical results also indicated that seven soil samples had concentrations of PFOS exceeding the USAF-calculated screening level.

The goals of this task order (TO) are to accomplish a CERCLA Remedial Investigation (RI) and

Response Actions that characterizes environmental conditions, defines the nature and extent of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminants, assesses risk to human health and the environment, identifies preliminary remedial alternatives, and identifies and implements response actions (i.e., removal or interim remedial actions). The contractor is to produce all necessary documents to meet the goals of the task order. As the technical expert in emerging contaminants including knowledge of PFAS, the intent is that new or changing analytical methodologies, regulatory or DoD guidance and requirements, toxicity criteria and ecological benchmarks, and technologies to assess and remediate PFAS will be utilized throughout the TO.

In carrying out each work assignment issued in this TO, the Contractor shall furnish the personnel, services, equipment, materials, facilities, and other requirements necessary for, and incidental to, the performance of work set forth herein. The contractor will collaborate with the environmental project team consisting of Air Force representatives, federal and state regulators, and other applicable stakeholders.

The goal of chemistry services management is to ensure the quality of all required chemistry services performed and that all chemistry-related tasks are conducted in accordance with the

DoD practices such as method-specific requirements, DoD Quality Systems Manual, data validation requirements, and QPP.

Identify a Project Chemist as one of the key personnel in the project QPP. The Project Chemist will act as a POC on all chemistry related issues and shall be responsible for ensuring that all

DoD practices and the DQOs are met and corrected where necessary.

5.1 Quality Assurance.

Adhere to project specific DQOs to ensure data of adequate quality are obtained such that decisions are made with technically defensible data of known and documented quality. The

Contractor shall ensure that analytical laboratories maintain accreditation under the DoD

Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) to DoD Quality Systems Manual for

Environmental Laboratories (QSM) accreditation ), version 5.1 or newer, and meets all state and

28 March 2023 federal requirements, for the project matrices and methods throughout the contract and achieve target analyte levels to meet data quality objectives such as detections limits, limit of detections

(LODs), and limits of quantitation. DQOs shall be developed in consensus with the restoration project team and in accordance with USEPA QA/G4, Guidance for the Data Quality Objective

Process (most recent version), DoD/Air Force policy and guidance, and documented in the project QPP. Incorporate QA/QC requirements identified by the current version of the

Department of Defense (DoD) Quality Systems Manual, DoD general and method-specific validation guidelines, and DoD guidance in the QPP. PFAS analysis for all matrices (i.e., groundwater, surface water, soil, and sediment) shall be performed by a DoD ELAP accredited laboratory using a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method that is on the laboratory’s DoD ELAP scope of accreditation and is compliant with the requirements in the DoD QSM (version 5.3 or most current) for Environmental Laboratories, Table B-15.

The Contractor shall ensure that project decisions will be supported by data usability determinations aided by the results of data validation. The Contractor shall be responsible for assessing the environmental data’s quality by performing data validation against criteria established within the analytical method, the DoD QSM, the DoD General Data Validation

Guidelines, and the UFP QAPP. It is anticipated that data validation is performed by a party independent of the laboratory. The website address is https://www.denix.osd.mil/edqw/home/.

It is expected that the QPP include requirements for analytical reporting, data validation and procedures, and data usability assessments including:

• Performance of Stage 4 validation on 10 percent of each sample delivery group (SDG), and Stage 2B validation on 90 percent of each SDG

• Performance of Stage 4 validation on 100 percent of any drinking water data (includes groundwater from private and public wells)

Any validation that reveals significant deviations from project requirements will require a higher stage of validation to uncover the source.

Meet target analytical control limits for all media in accordance with DoD QSM. It is expected that quality control samples will be collected at a rate of 10% for sample replicates and at a rate of 20% for matrix spikes. Ensure that laboratory QA/QC adjusts to developing DoD, Air Force, or regulatory requirements or standards.

As part of the QPP, prohibit products containing PFAS such as Teflon, Tyvek suits, and Decon

90 to avoid cross contamination issues during the sampling and analysis.

Ensure that all requirements specified in the project QPP are met. If not met, the Contractor may be required to re-accomplish sampling and analysis at the Contractor’s expense.
