The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor, who in tum is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction:

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials , sup ervisi on, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform BRAC support services as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government-furnished property and services. The BRAC program entails the integration of many disparate program functions to support an aggressive mission and schedule for BRAC closed installations, and Non-BRAC Excess Property sites. The Contractor shall int egrate and analyze the various functions associated with cost, scope, and scheduling which include real property disposition, and environmental remediation activities. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS. Please note, the selected vendor will not be able to participate in other BRAC support-type contracts , in particular caretaker operations or environmental remediation.

1.2. Background:

1.2.1. In 1988, the Congress began implementing a process by which it directed the Department of Defense (DoD) to realign or close installations to properly size the infrastructure to a smaller, but more lethal force. Congress envisioned the movement of Army and other military missions to a number of gaining installations , while closing or realigning others. The process was legislatively mandated under the BRAC Act of 1990. The BRAC process is intended to identify excess DoD real property and realign resources to allow the DoD the ability to focus available resources on the right number of installations that will fully support mission requirements.

Congress initiated the first round ofBRAC in 1988, and subsequent BRACs occurred in 1991, 1993, 1995, and 2005.

1.2.2. BRAC follows a prescribed process that is not stair-stepped and linear , but rather a series of linked, concurrent steps that requires vision and synchronization among a number of participants. The prescribed process is very complex and resource-intensive providing policy and management oversight; conducting environmental characterization studies and cleanup;

developing appropriate property disposal strategies; and transferring property to new owners.

1.3. Objectives:

The objective of this contract is to obtain strategic planning, program planning and implementation , program analysis, program integration, requirements evaluation, property transfer, and reporting and tracking of BRAC program requirements with the Deputy Chief of

Staff (DCS) G-9, BRAC Branch; and analytic support to perform large scale infrastructure analysis in support of the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) activities.

The Contractor shall provide experienced technical expert support services performing all Army BRAC requirements in the PWS, encompassing the following areas: program management, logisti cs, industrial management , environmental engineering and environmental management , property conveyance, resource management and congressional reporting support, munitions and explosives safety functions, providing advice and recommendations associated with BRAC and Non- BRAC Excess Property sites, and supporting coordination of BRAC tasks with Senior DoD, Secretariat and Army (service level) staffs, impacting Army-wide installations and future BRAC policies. While electronic communication will be leveraged to the maximum extent possible, Government-directed travel to installations and sites shall also be required to facilitate and integrate BRAC efforts.
