The

Government shall 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 turn is responsible to the Government. The Contractor, in turn, shall be accountable to the Government for Contractor or subcontractor personnel.

1.1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/INTRODUCTION: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Recycling Services, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the contract and consistently with the established standards in this PWS and contract.

The Contractor shall collect recyclable materials from recycle containers and convenience drop-off centers on

Ft Stewart (FS) and Hunter Army Airfield (HAAF) and process these materials for resale in meeting the directives outlined in Executive Order 13834. Collection and processing of recyclable materials shall be accomplished IAW the Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction (DoDI) 4715.23, Integrated Recycling and

Solid Waste Management dated October 24, 2016.

The Contractor shall provide technical support consistent with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, as well as the Department of the Army and FS/HAAF Garrison policies, consistent with the DPW Environmental

Division’s sustainability and environmental awareness objectives. All tasks must be performed in accordance with required legal and ethical standards.

1.2. BACKGROUND: The FS/HAAF DPW Environmental Division has responsibility for the environmental program management of the 279,270-acre FS Military Reservation in the lower coastal plain of Georgia and the

5,370-acre Installation at HAAF near Savannah, Georgia. These two Installations function as one although they are physically located approximately 45 miles apart (or approx. a 1 hour driving time). The FS/HAAF DPW has environmental and natural resources programs to address the demands of ever changing environmental regulations, and to assess the Installation's compliance with such regulations including the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Safe

Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Clean Air Act (CAA), Toxic Substance Control Act

(TSCA), Solid Waste Disposal Act, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, Natural Historic

Preservation Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In addition, the Installation has implemented a Sustainability Management System (SMS) where the objective is to balance the environment with the mission and well-being of the community to support the long-term ability of the military to train and deploy combat-ready

Soldiers. Environmental and Sustainability awareness play a key role in the ability of the DPW Environmental

Division to meet both regulatory and compliance requirements, as well as planning the Installation’s approach toward meeting the needs of the Army today while managing environmental resources so they are viable for long-term use.

One of FS/HAAF’s SMS Significant Aspects is Land Use and an objective under this aspect is to reduce solid waste disposal; to minimize waste and pollutant generation through source reduction. As such FS/HAAF has developed an

Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan that outlines measures to preserve the FS landfill’s capacity through source reduction and recycling. Additionally, FS/HAAF has established FS/HAAF’s Qualified Recycling Program

(QRP) Standard Operating Procedures that requires widespread participation and support of the specified SMS objective. This PWS specifies Recycling Services necessary to support the sustainability objectives to preserve the on-post landfill’s remaining capacity by extending its useful life.

1.6.6.3. Common Access Cards (CACs) for Contractor Personnel.

1.6.6.3.1. In accordance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5200.46, 9 SEP 14, CAC Issuance and Revocations, a CAC will not be issued (or maintained) by a person if there is a reasonable basis to believe, based on the individual’s criminal or dishonest conduct, that issuance of a CAC poses an unacceptable risk. An individual’s conduct involving questionable judgment, lack of candor, dishonesty, or unwillingness to comply with rules and regulations can raise questions about his or her reliability or trustworthiness and may put people, property, or information systems at risk. An individual’s past criminal or dishonest conduct may put people, property, or information systems at risk.

Conditions that may be disqualifying include:

(a) A single serious crime or multiple lesser offenses which put the safety of people at risk or threaten the protection of property or information. A person’s convictions for burglary may indicate that granting a CAC poses an unacceptable risk to the U.S. Government’s physical assets and to employees’ personal property on a U.S.

Government facility.

(b) Charges or admission of criminal conduct relating to the safety of people and proper protection of property or information systems, regardless of whether the person was formally charged, formally prosecuted, or convicted.

(c) Dishonest acts (e.g., theft, accepting bribes, falsifying claims, perjury, forgery, or attempting to obtain identity documentation without proper authorization).

(d) Deceptive or illegal financial practices such as embezzlement, employee theft, check fraud, income tax evasion, expense account fraud, filing deceptive loan statements, or other intentional financial breaches of trust.

(e) Actions involving violence or sexual behavior of a criminal nature that poses an unacceptable risk if access is granted to federally-controlled facilities and federally-controlled information systems. For example, convictions for sexual assault may indicate that granting a CAC poses an unacceptable risk to the life and safety of persons on U.S.

Government facilities.

(f) Financial irresponsibility may raise questions about the individual’s honesty and put people, property or information systems at risk, although financial debt should not in and of itself be cause for denial.

(g) Deliberate omission, concealment, or falsification of relevant facts or deliberately providing false or misleading information to an employer, investigator, security official, competent medical authority, or other official U.S.

Government representative, particularly when doing so results in personal benefit or which results in a risk to the safety of people and proper safeguarding of property and information systems.

1.6.6.3.2. Security Screening (Compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12). Contractor must comply with HSPD-12 standards as listed in the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting (PARC)

Policy Alert 14-33, HSPD-12 issued 31 DEC 13.

The Contractor shall ensure a CAC is obtained within 30 days of contract award for the Contractor’s on-site support

Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager. No Later Than (NLT) 5 days after contract award the Contractor shall provide completed Contractor Request for Investigation Forms, Declaration for Federal Employment Forms, Digital Finger Print Applications, and New Contractor Physical Security Investigation for Network Level Privileges forms (see Technical Exhibits (TEs) for all Contractor’s and subcontractor’s designated onsite support personnel.

Before CAC issuance, the Contractor personnel shall have, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated National Agency

Check with Inquiries (NACI) or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive (AD)

2014-05, Policy and Implementation for Common Access Card Credentialing and Installations Access for Uncleared

Contractors, dated 7 MAR 14. The Contractor personnel will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) Both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely;

(2) Remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) Physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled NACI at the Office of Personnel Management.

On 7 MAR 14 the Secretary of the Army published AD 2014-05, which establishes HSPD-12 investigative and adjudicative policy and procedures to support credentialing determinations for the issuance of CACs to eligible

Army Contractor personnel. HSPD-12 mandates a Government wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the Federal Government for physical access to federally controlled facilities and/or logical access to federally controlled information systems. The CAC is the DoD federal personal identity verification credential.

The purpose of security screening is to identify those persons who may pose a threat to good order and discipline on

FS or HAAF by either denying them access or placing restrictions on their movement. The following criteria will be used as a guideline for determining denial of access to FS/HAAF:

(a) Any record of a felony conviction for a crime (includes murder, rape, sale of illegal drugs, grand theft, arson, and kidnapping).

(b) Three or more misdemeanor convictions within the past five years (includes assault, theft of $500 or less, and excludes traffic violations).

Visitor Control Center personnel will NOT relay the source of the information to the visitor (e.g., visitors will not be told that the information comes from the Bars and Suspension List or from National Crime Information Center

[NCIC] screening). Subjects are not authorized to view the information under any circumstances.

The Senior Commander is the final approval authority for any adjudication request for access denial.

If contractors meet access control standards of AD 2014-05, then DoD Consolidated Adjudications Facility (CAF) will conduct centralized adjudications of favorable HSPD-12 background investigations. The DoD CAF will forward investigations that cannot be favorably adjudicated to the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals, DOHA, for a final credentialing determination.

1.6.6.3.3. Controlling CAC and Government Issued Identification Cards. The Contractor shall report any lost CAC or Government issued identification cards to the COR and Military and/or DoD police agencies within 30 minutes of identification. The Contractor shall immediately collect the CAC and other Government issued forms of identification upon termination of employee, or at the end of the contract performance period. The CAC and other

Government issued forms of identification shall be returned to the COR within 1 hour of employee termination, or within 5 work days of the end of contract performance period, whichever comes first. Final payment may be delayed if Contractor fails to comply with these requirements.

1.6.6.3.3.1. In the event a contractor employee separates without advance notice (either quits or is terminated), the contractor shall immediately notify the Trusted Agent (TA) who will ensure CAC permissions are revoked the same day. In various instances a contractor employee may not be on task (working) due to furloughs, suspensions pending the outcome of an investigation, or the contract reaches the end of the period of performance (POP) and renewal is anticipated but not yet complete. During these occurrences, the TA or a representative from the contractor (TA’s choice) will collect and retain the CACs of the affected contractor personnel residing in the local area however;

CAC permissions will not be revoked in the Trusted Associate Sponsorship System, TASS. Collecting CACs however, may not be feasible for contractor personnel located in remote locations. When contractor personnel return to work under the contract, they will retrieve their CAC from the responsible party who collected it.

1.6.6.3.3.2. The contractor shall develop, maintain, and provide to the KO and COR within 10 calendar days after contract award an updated Roster which shall include names and positions of all Contractor personnel as well as indicating which employees were issued a CAC or other forms of government identification cards or are submitting documentation requesting a CAC via email with hard copies to be furnished at the Post Award Conference. The

Contractor shall include with the monthly report (see Section 5) to the COR on the third (3rd) work day of each month a tabulated listing/roster of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s onsite support employees, to include those that departed during the previous month and the date their CACs were turned in.

The Contractor shall report any occurrences of lost or duplicate keys/key cards to the COR within 30 minutes of identification. NOTE: All references to keys include key cards. No keys issued to the Contractor by the Government shall be duplicated.

1.6.6.4.1.1. In the event keys (other than master keys) are lost or duplicated, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the KO, re-key or replace the affected lock or locks; however, the Government, at its option, may replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying. When the replacement of locks or re-keying is performed by the

Government, the total cost of re-keying or the replacement of the lock or locks shall be deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys for that system shall be replaced by the Government and the total cost deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor.

1.6.6.4.1.2. The Contractor shall prohibit the use of Government issued keys/key cards by any persons other than the

Contractor’s employees. The Contractor shall prohibit the opening of locked areas by Contractor employees to permit entrance of persons other than Contractor employees engaged in the performance of assigned work in those areas, or personnel authorized entrance by the KO or COR.

1.6.6.4.2. Lock Combinations. The Contractor shall establish and implement methods of ensuring that all lock combinations are not revealed to unauthorized persons.
