PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement – Analytical Services for Wastewater Discharge

1. The work described herein pertains to analyzing industrial wastewater samples collected at the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWRTP) located in Building 1E at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), Tobyhanna, PA. The results of the analysis will be used for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit reporting requirements and thus requires strict adherence to the methodology as outlined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 136 or alternate test procedures approved pursuant to those parts. The laboratory performing the analysis shall develop and implement a program to assure the quality and accuracy of the analyses performed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and 40 CFR 122.4(j)(4).

2. The IWRTP performs batch treatments of industrial wastes prior to discharge into an on-site sewage treatment plant. Batch treatments are identified with a unique number. Each batch treatment is analyzed prior to treatment and during discharge. Normally, at least two samples require analysis for each batch treatment. Normally, each sample is analyzed for six parameters. However, the number of batch treatments, samples, and analysis parameters varies depending on the production output of Tobyhanna Army Depot.

The analysis of additional samples and parameters shall be requested by the government when required.

Upon written request by the government point of contact (POC), the contractor shall quote the price for additional analysis and parameters separately. Upon approval by the government POC, the contractor shall perform the additional analysis for the quoted cost.

A background check and approval from TYAD Security Operations Branch is required for all contractor and subcontractor personnel prior to on-site access at TYAD. All persons seeking entrance to TYAD shall submit to and comply with all security standards and requirements in force at the time such persons are seeking entry. All contractors, regardless of resident status or citizenship, will be subject to vehicle search and intense in-processing by TYAD security personnel prior to being granted access to TYAD.

This security screening process may be time consuming and access may be delayed or denied. The contractor shall ensure ELTY Form 648-C is completed for all contractor and subcontractor personnel requiring depot access to include warranty services. The TYAD point of contact (POC) will provide ELTY Form 648-C, Request Access to Tobyhanna Army Depot, to the contractor/vendor at least ten days prior to the expected visit date for completion. The contractor/vendor shall return the completed ELTY Form 648-C to the TYAD POC in a timely manner so the same may be submitted to Security for processing no later than seven days prior to the visit. All of the required fields on the form shall be complete and accurate by the contractor/vendor for timely processing. This requirement is inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel that the Contractor anticipates will be performing work or visiting on-site. This security screening does not relieve the contractor of any responsibilities to conduct thorough pre-employment background checks and drug screening. Contractor workers will not be granted access to the work site until security screening is completed and access is approved. Any contractor personnel on-site who fail screening will not be permitted further access to

TYAD.

Contractor and all associated subcontractors employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet CECOM G2 - This version is dated 01 November 2018. All previous versions are obsolete.

1. Air Pollution Control The contractor must control fugitive emissions, including dust, during the course of their contract. The contractor must obtain approval from the Environmental Branch (EB) prior to exhausting equipment to the outside. The contractor must not allow any pollutant or particulate matter to be released to the atmosphere at levels that are visible from outside of Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). The contractor must not perform work that will release pollutants or particulate matter to the atmosphere when the wind speed exceeds ten miles per hour and will result in adverse effects to the surrounding areas. TYAD will monitor the wind speed; it is the contractor’s responsibility to obtain wind speed information through the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

2. Asbestos The contractor must ensure that all materials used in the performance of this contract are asbestos-free.

Unless specified in the contract, the contractor must not disturb any existing Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) in the performance of this contract. If ACM, or suspect ACM might be disturbed in performance of this contract, the contractor must avoid coming in contact with the material and immediately notify the COR and the Contract Administrator in writing. The COR must coordinate with EB to have the material tested to determine if there is ACM. If the material is determined to be ACM and the contractor cannot avoid disturbing the material, the COR will notify the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will direct a change pursuant to the contract clauses entitled “Changes” and “Differing Site Conditions.” If ACM, or suspect ACM has been disturbed, the contractor must immediately notify the COR and call the EB. The contractor will shut down and not move any equipment or supplies near the damaged ACM. The contractor will evacuate all non-contaminated contractor personnel from the immediate vicinity. Any contractor personnel thought to be contaminated with asbestos must remain in the area until the EB responds. If the damaged material is determined to be ACM and there is potential for further damage, the Contracting Officer will direct a change pursuant to the clauses of the contract clauses entitled “Changes” and “Differing Site Conditions.”

Asbestos abatement required under the contract as originally awarded must be in accordance with United Facilities Guide Specification 02 83 14 00 10 and as otherwise required in the contract. Asbestos abatement not required under the contract as originally awarded, can be incorporated into the existing contract via contract modification, or by the Government taking responsibility for the asbestos abatement.

Limited exceptions to this restriction may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Such exceptions shall only be considered where a specialized skill or trade is not otherwise available, and even under such circumstances would only be considered for very limited duration, e.g., a few hours/days. However, even if limited exception is considered, access may still be denied. Contractors whose personnel are either denied entry to TYAD or permitted limited entry to TYAD due to the security requirements pertaining to non-resident aliens/non-immigrants are not relieved of their obligation to provide the required contract performance and must do so at no additional cost to the Government. Any contractor failing to perform or that fails to perform in a timely manner under such circumstances may be terminated for default or other contractual remedies as appropriate.

Any contractor employee (s) already on site who have not been screened, will be subject to security screening. This requirement is inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel that the Contractor anticipates will be performing work or visiting on-site. This security screening does not relieve the contractor of any responsibilities to conduct thorough pre-employment background checks and drug screening. Contractor workers will not be granted access to the work site until security screening is completed and access is approved. Any contractor personnel on site who fail screening will not be permitted further access to TYAD.

4. SUBMISSION OF BIDS OR PROPOSALS
