PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Robotic Target Refresh Insertion DPMTS Range Branch

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide range maintenance support in the form of new target placement for Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) and Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV)-7 vehicles, old target removal, and line of sight (LOS) clearing using robotics across Ft Campbell’s North, South, and Small Arms impact areas to include the Training Areas on an annual basis. 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.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personnel services necessary to perform range maintenance support in the form of new target placement, old target removal, and LOS clearing using robotics in support of replacing targets in the three dudded impact and training areas across Ft Campbell, Kentucky as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Ft Campbell has over 26,000 acres of duded impact areas with over 400 various hard target placements throughout. Over time these hard targets (Tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers, Armor Maintenance vehicles) become unrecognizable due to repeated impacts from high explosive munitions. In order to replenish these targets Department of the Army range personnel would have to work closely with Explosive Ordinance personnel to diligently work their way into the impact areas, secure the old target, remove it, then replace with a newer hard target. This is all completed manually and by operating a dozer to drive across potential buried and unexploded ordinance (UXO) that has accumulated since the late 1940’s.

Over time technology such as robotics have been at the forefront to complete this high hazardous target refresh task. Without the use of robotics, personnel are placed at great risk to refresh hard targets and the use of robotic systems reduces the overall risk to low as there are no personnel actively in the impact areas.

The current impact areas have assorted munitions within them from 500lb bombs all the way down to hand grenades. These impact areas have been in existence since the late 1940’s and are considered highly duded and dangerous to enter. At times vegetation encroachment prevents LOS from firing points to engage targets. When this happens grubbing and clearing of the underbrush and tree samplings must be performed.

This allows soldiers to be able to see and engage their targets.

1.3 Objectives: The Contractor shall provide range maintenance support in the form of new target placement for MRAP and AAV-7 vehicles, old target removal and UXO clearing, and LOS clearing using robotics within Ft Campbell’s North, South, and Small Arms impact areas and training areas. All work shall be performed in accordance with the PWS, WP, and all applicable standards. The Contractor shall mobilize and commence field work within 14 calendar days of issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP).

Unless specified otherwise, all areas are suspected to be Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) contaminated. Due to the potential MEC hazards associated with these areas, the use of unmanned robotic technologies shall be used to complete the work to the maximum extent possible. Any work deemed necessary to be completed by manual means (e.g., for excessively soft or steep areas) shall be conducted only upon coordination with Government personnel as outlined in Section 5 of this PWS and with due consideration for personnel safety working in a MEC contaminated area, as applicable. Ground disturbance within wetlands areas is to be minimized to the greatest extent practical so as not to create erosion problems within these areas. Equipment selection and employment of such in these areas should take into consideration potential for ground disturbance in potentially wet and/or soft ground surfaces. Due to the potential to encounter MEC in the subsurface, the Contractor shall minimize activities such as dragging targets, etc., that have the potential to disturb the subsurface soil. Consideration shall be made for the potential of any equipment to disturb the subsurface via rutting or otherwise utilized by the Contractor in known or suspect MEC contaminated areas.

1.4 Scope: It is anticipated that roughly 35 new MRAP and AAV-7 targets may be placed by the Contractor and over 100 of LOS acres clearing will occur on an annual basis. The Contractor will preposition all targets to the appropriate ranges prior to the cessation of Army training activities. This will allow the Contractor the maximum down range opportunity. All targets will be provided by Ft Campbell Range Control. Transportation of targets will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor will be required to robotically install large culverts at the best possible location to cross creeks located on both ranges, if necessary. This will entail remotely placing the culvert in the creek and collapsing the surrounding terrain to allow transportation of targets to their final positions. Removal of culverts is not required by the Contractor.

Range Control will provide the culverts and any fill material required for the install. The final type of target and final positioning of the targets may vary at Range Controls discretion. The Contractor shall produce and provide GIS products showing the locations of new targets placed by the Contractor.

Any targets removed from the impact area will be certified UXO cleared by the contractor using a certified UXO inspector. All removed targets are the responsibility of the contractor to have removed from the installation prior to final acceptance inspection of work performed.

Consideration shall be made for the potential of any equipment to disturb the subsurface via rutting or otherwise utilized by the Contractor in known or suspect MEC contaminated areas.

5.1.2.3. The Contractor will robotically remove existing targets as directed by (COR, KO, Range Branch), and robotically replace those targets with new targets that will be provided by Range Control. It is anticipated that roughly 35 new targets may be placed by the Contractor annually. The Contractor will preposition all targets to the appropriate entry points prior to the cessation of Army training activities. This will allow the Contractor the maximum down range opportunity. All targets are located at the Fort Campbell Target Yard near Range 46. The Contractor will be responsible for transportation (low boy trailer) of any targets from the Target Yard to the appropriate range for placement. The final type of target and final positioning of the targets may vary at Range Controls discretion. Targets will vary in shape and size. The Contractor must be capably of robotically removing and replacing targets of at least (recommend inserting size here).

5.1.2.4. The Contractor will robotically install large culverts at the best possible location to cross creeks located on both ranges, as required. Culvert location will be determined on a case-by-case basis accounting for all relevant factors, including the type of target to be installed. The Contractor will work with the COR to determine the best location for culverts prior to installation. When required, culvert installation will entail remotely placing a culvert in a creek and collapsing the surrounding terrain to allow transportation of targets to their final positions. Removal of culverts is not required by the Contractor. Range Control will provide the culverts and any fill material required for the Contractor’s install.

5.1.2.5. If the Contractor is unable to access a target placement site robotically (e.g. excessively steep or soft areas), the Contractor shall immediately notify the COR. The Contractor shall not complete any target removal, target replacement, culvert insertion, equipment recovery, or other work in MEC contaminated areas by manual means without prior approval from the COR, who shall coordinate any such efforts with Range Branch and EOD. The Government reserves the right perform any work within the scope of this PWS for which manual means is deemed necessary. At all times, Contractor personnel shall operate with due consideration for the safety of personnel working in a MEC contaminated area.

5.1.2.6. The Contractor shall produce and provide 10-digit Geographical Information System (GIS) products showing the locations of new targets placed by the Contractor.

5.1.3. LOS Clearing and Grubbing. The Contractor shall provide Line of Sight (LOS) clearing and grubbing, as required, to maintain visibility within the Impact areas as well as Training Areas. All LOS work will be coordinated by Range Control with installation environmental / conservation branches and Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) personnel prior to Contractor commencing work in the designated areas. All work shall be performed in accordance with the PWS, WP, and all applicable standards. The Contractor shall mobilize and commence field work within 14 calendar days of issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP).

5.1.4. Contractor shall return any issued Government equipment such as Motorola Radios upon completion of the contract.
