J2 Aberdeen Proving Ground – Edgewood Area Wastewater Utility System

J2.1 Aberdeen Proving Ground – Edgewood Area Overview Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) is the Army's oldest active proving ground. APG was established on October 20, 1917, six months after the United States entered World War I, to provide the military a facility where design and testing of ordnance materiel could be carried out in close proximity to the nation's industrial and shipping centers. APG officially opened on December 14, 1917, and the first gun was fired on January 2, 1918.

APG covers over 72,500 acres in Harford County, Maryland located approximately 35 miles northeast of Baltimore along and into the Chesapeake Bay,. The Installation’s northernmost point is marked by the confluence of the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay. On the south it is bordered by the Gunpowder River. The Installation actually includes two principal areas, separated by the Bush River. The northern area is known as the Aberdeen Area, and the southern area, formerly Edgewood Arsenal (established in November, 1917 - as a chemical weapons research, development and testing facility), is the Edgewood Area. The two areas were administratively combined in 1971. APG property not attached to the main installation includes the Churchville Test Site in Harford County and Carroll Island and Graces Quarters in Baltimore County.

APG is home to 66 tenants and a host of satellite activities. Among the major tenants are the U.S.

Research, Development and Engineering (RDECOM) , U.S. Army Ordnance Center and Schools, U.S. Army Developmental Test Command, U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center, U.S.

Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine, Northeast Region Civilian Personnel Operations Center, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, U.S.

Army Chemical Materials Agency and major elements of the Army Research Laboratory.

As a center for Army materiel testing, laboratory research and military training, the post is a key element in the nation's defense. All tanks and wheeled vehicles which have served U.S. forces for the past 50 years have been tested for performance and durability at APG - from the M4 Sherman tank of World War II to the M1 tank and High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle and Family of Stryker Vehicles of today.

Known as the "Home of Ordnance," APG has been training Army ordnance personnel since 1918. The Army's ordnance training was consolidated at the proving ground during World War II, and today the U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School provides mechanical maintenance training for more than 20,000 U.S. and foreign personnel each year. APG’s Ordnance Center is also the regimental headquarters for the Army's Chief of Ordnance.

APG's Edgewood Area (or the Installation) has been a center for chemical warfare research and development since it was established. From the trenches of France and Belgium in World War I

JUNE 2008

J2-4 to the desert battlefields of Iraq nearly 80 years later, the work done at APG has contributed to the defense and safety of American forces threatened by chemical weapons.

More than 7,500 civilians work at Aberdeen Proving Ground, and more than 5,000 military personnel are assigned there. In addition, there are nearly 3,000 contractors and private business employees working on the proving ground.

There are 2,148 military family members living on the post and another 155 off post. The post supports more than 16,000 military retirees and retiree family members. The post is Harford County's largest employer and one of the largest employers in the state of Maryland.

J2.2 Wastewater Utility System Description J2.2.1 Wastewater Utility System Fixed Equipment Inventory The wastewater utility system which serves APG’s Edgewood Area (APG-EA) consists of all appurtenances physically connected to the system from the point in which the Government ownership currently starts to the point of demarcation defined by the real estate instruments.

Generally, the point of demarcation will be the building footprint. The system may include, but is not limited to, the manholes, lift stations, wastewater storage tank and the collection lines, including service laterals. The following description and inventory is included to provide the Offeror with a general understanding of the size and configuration of the collection system. The Offeror shall base the proposal on site inspections, information in the Offerors’ library, other pertinent information, and to a lesser degree the following description.

Ownership of the wastewater utility system components including, but not limited to, the manholes, lift stations, wastewater storage tank and the collection lines, including service laterals will be transferred to the Contractor. There are currently no plans to transfer any land ownership inside the main cantonment area. An easement will be provided for the land on which the wastewater utility system structures are located (i.e., the lift stations, the collection lines, etc.).

All structures transferred must comply with the Installation’s fire protection and security standards.

Specifically excluded from the wastewater utility system privatization package:

Storm water systems

The following description and inventory is included to provide the Contractor with a general understanding of the size and configuration of the collection system. The description and inventory were developed based on the best available data.

The Offeror shall base its proposal on site inspections, information in the Offerors’ technical library, and other pertinent information, as well as the following description and inventory. If after award the Offeror identifies additional inventory not listed in Paragraph J2.2.1.4, the Offeror may submit to the Contracting Officer a request for an equitable adjustment. If the Offeror determines that the inventory listed in Paragraph J2.2.1.4 is overstated, the Offeror shall report the extent of the overstatement to the Contracting Officer, in accordance with C.11.1, Due Diligence Adjustment.

The Government uses the following useful lives in determining the value of the wastewater collection system to be privatized:

Component Useful Life Pipe, manholes and services 50 years Grease traps and oil / water separators 35 years Sewage Lift Station – Structure 75 years Sewage Lift Station – Pumps / Control Systems 25 years Standby generators 30 years WWTP – Structures 75 years WWTP – Pumps/Controls/Mechanical Equipment 25 years SCADA 25 years

J2.2.1.1 System Description

Collection System The wastewater generated generally flows from the facility through the gravity collections lines where it flows to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) facility located in the southeast portion of APG-EA. Some collection lines flow to lift stations where the wastewater is pumped to a gravity line through which it flows to the WWTP facility.

Most of the wastewater lines at APG-EA were installed in the early 1940s. Pipe sizes range from

1.5 inches to 30 inches. The total length of the collection pipes is estimated to be 39.5 miles. The most common type of collection pipe material is vitrified clay and the most common pipe diameter is 8 inches. Since the 1940s only minor areas have been added and there have been only minor upgrades within the system. From 1988 through 1995, roughly 30 percent of the collection lines were relined.

Sewage Lift Stations and Force Mains There are 27 sewage lift stations (SLSs) located throughout the Installation. (See Figure 2.2-1 included Attachment J2-1 for the locations.) Ten of the SLSs are of the drywell/wet well type and the remaining are submersible types. Eleven of the SLSs have a dedicated emergency generator at the site to supply power to the SLS in the event of loss of normal power source. All SLSs are duplex stations except for SLS E-4915, which is a simplex lift station. SLSs E-4140 and E-5951 are located inside buildings. A summary of the SLS information such as pump manufacturer, pump flow, force main length and diameter is listed in the following table.

Note: Lift Stations E-4140 and E-5951 are located inside buildings

There are three major SLSs at APG-EA: E-3250, E-4383 and E-5296. SLS E-3250 is located along South Kings Road and collects all the wastewater in an area east of Ricketts Point Road, north of Beach Point Road and east of Hoadley Road (see photo below). SLS E-4383 is located along Douglas Road and collects the wastewater generated south of Austin Road and west of Otto Drive.

SLS E-5296 is located near the intersection of Noble Road and 14th Street and collects the wastewater generated north of Noble Road and west of Hoadley and Ricketts Point roads.

Lift Station E-3250

All the SLS have local control systems that operate pumps on and off based on the water level in the wet well. All the SLSs except for SLS E-5310 are connected to a remote monitoring system (see photo below). The remote monitoring system was installed in the early 1990s and provides information on whether the pump is on or off, if there has been a pump failure, power failure at the station, pump run hours and number of pump starts. This information is sent directly to Building E-3857 at the APG-EA WWTP.

Wastewater Treatment Plant All the wastewater generated at APG-EA is transported to the Installation’s WWTP facility for treatment and disposal. The WWTP facility is located on the southeast side of APG-EA at the terminus of Beach Point Road and is shown in Figure 2.2-1 included in Attachment J2-1 and in the photo below. A site plan and flow schematic is detailed in Figure 2.3-1 included in Attachment J2- 2.

The WWTP facility was originally constructed in the early 1940s and provided primary treatment of the wastewater prior to disposal into Bush River, a part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In 1968, trickling filters were added providing secondary treatment. In the 1980s, five chemical feed systems were added to the plant. Three of the chemical feed systems ferric chlorine, lime and polymer to control phosphorus removal and two-chemical feed systems: chlorination and de-chlorination (sulfur dioxide) are used for disinfection prior to discharge into Bush River.

WWTP Facility Northeast View

The WWTP facility’s present rated capacity is 3.0 MGD with an average daily flow to the plant of

0.9 MGD. The WWTP facility has experienced peak inflow of 11.0 MGD. The plant for the most part is manually operated and is manned 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

The WWTP facility’s effluent meets or exceeds the current State of Maryland and U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency effluent discharge requirements. The WWTP facility’s treatment train from inflow to effluent consists of the following: dual dimminutors provide shredding of the large particles that enter the plant followed by a Parshall flume (E-3950) that has a sonic flow meter and recorder. After the flume the flows are sampled by an influent sampler (E-3951) and then enter an aerated grit chamber (E-3968) that removes grit from the flow prior to primary treatment. The grit removed by the grit chamber is collected and transported by a screw conveyor to a collection bin. Grit is stored on plant and transported to a landfill only as needed. After the grit

JUNE 2008

J2-9 chamber the flow enters two rectangular clarifiers (E-3953) that operate in parallel where organic material is settled out. Each clarifier has a sludge hopper where sludge collects. Sludge is drawn from the sludge hoppers by one of two sludge pumps and transported to the primary anaerobic digester. Following the primary clarifier the wastewater flows to a trickling filter pump station (E- 3956). The trickling filter pump station 1.) pumps raw and treated wastewater to one of two trickling filters (E-3958 and E-3960), 2.) secondary clarified sludge to the primary clarifiers, 3.)

provides a bypass around the trickling filters and houses the ferric chloride system. The trickling filter media is 2-4-inch rock. Because of the low organic loading on the filters the filter media is covered by moss type growth instead of the typical zooglea mat. After the filters the flow is directed to a splitter box (E-3962) where the flow is directed to the recirculation pump station or to the rapid mixer flocculators (E-3961) and secondary clarifiers (E-3958). The flows to the recirculation pumps direct the flow back to the front of the primary clarifiers. Ferric chloride is added to the flows directed to the rapid mix tank followed by flows to the flocculation tanks (E- 3961) where the fluid is gently mixed. Flow from the flocculation tanks is to one of two secondary clarifiers (E-3958) that operate in parallel. The solids collected in the clarifiers are pumped back to the primary clarifiers and the settled fluid flows to the neutralization tank (E-3967). Presently the neutralization tank is not in service. From the neutralization tank the fluid flows to the chlorine contact tank (E-3954 and E-3963) where a chlorinated solution is added. After passing through the chlorine contact tank sulfide dioxide is added to de-chlorinate the wastewater prior to discharging to Bush River. The sludge collected in the plant is pumped to a primary anaerobic digester for treatment. The methane gas generated with the breakdown of the organic sludge is stored in a secondary digester and flared off as required. Treated sludge from the primary digester is withdrawn and stored in a holding area for later disposal at a landfill. Typically, the WWTP facility produces about 1 cubic yard of dewatered sludge per week. The plant at one time used sludge drying beds and has a belt press to dewater the sludge, but these have not been in service for a number of years. The plant also has gravity sand filters (E-3967) and a neutralization tank (E- 3967); however, these facilities are not in service.

Septic Tanks and Drain Fields There are 20 septic tanks and drain fields that treat and dispose wastewater generated at individual facilities within the Installation. The septic tank locations, shown in Figure 2.4-1 included in Attachment J2-3, are for facilities that cannot conveniently be located near a wastewater collection line. An example is the water treatment plant, which has a septic tank and is located almost two miles from the nearest wastewater line on the Installation. The septic tanks and drain field are included as part of the wastewater utility system at APG-EA. The size of the septic tanks and the frequency of service required for each septic tank are summarized in Table 3 below.

The Installation maintains a limited collection of technical manuals, drawings, and records on the installed components of the wastewater utility system. This information will be transferred to the new owner during the transition period.

System maps will be available in the Offerors’ library. DIO has some of the original construction drawings of the wastewater utility system facilities and buildings. These drawings are located in the Aberdeen Area of APG in Building 4304. Copies of these drawings will be available to the successful Offeror.

J2.3 Specific Service Requirements The service requirements for the APG-EA wastewater utility system are as defined in Section C, Description/Specifications/Work Statement. The following requirements are specific to the Installation’s utility system and are additive to those found in Section C. If there is a conflict between requirements described below and Section C, the requirements listed below take precedence over those found in Section C.

J2.3.1 On-Site Contractor Facility The Contractor may establish an on-site facility in order to meet response time requirements and participate in Government meetings as necessary. This location will be determined and provided by the Installation. Should the Contractor choose to construct a facility; the Contractor will immediately acquire and install a temporary facility followed by construction of a permanent, Installation Design Guide (IDG) compatible facility. This facility will be manned with an individual that is capable of representing the Contractor at Government meetings. The Contractor will be responsible for maintaining the grounds around the facility and those areas which are fenced in for Contractor use only.

In lieu of having an on-site facility, the Offeror must explain in their proposal how they will meet the APG-EA response time requirements.

J2.3.2 Temporary Contractor Facilities Temporary facilities may be placed on post for construction projects. Approval from the Contracting Officer (KO) / Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and appropriate staff personnel is required prior to the Contractor locating a construction trailer on post. The approval

JUNE 2008

J2.3.11 Disposition of Removed or Salvaged Materials Disposition of facilities and material removed from a system shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. If the cost structure is dependent upon in-place value, the salvage value of equipment removed from service prior to the end of its useful life shall be deducted from the in-place value of the system.

J2.3.12 Component Replacement Infrastructure unutilized after replacement can be abandoned in place, provided the abandoned infrastructure poses no immediate or future health, safety, operational, or environmental risks in compliance with industry standards. However, unsightly abandoned infrastructure may be required to be removed and disposed of properly as may be practical or common practice, such as gas metering when units have been converted to total electric. Generally, above-ground infrastructure may require demolition and removal. Abandoned infrastructure must be clearly marked on the utility maps and all abandoned lines should be capped at the mains.

J2.3.13 Excavation Marking Process J2.3.13.1 Contractor-Provided Markings

Contractor shall subscribe to the regional process (one-call dispatch center) for notification and marking of underground utilities. The Contractor shall endeavor to mark all utilities in the time windows defined by this process. In some cases, where non-metallic lines do not have tracer wires, it may take longer to locate the lines. In these cases, the Contractor will make necessary notifications about a possible delay in the marking process. Contractor shall be responsible for all repairs, costs, and damages due to excavations by others for which he did not properly mark his utilities as part of the utility marking process.

J2.3.13.2 APG-EA-Provided Excavation Permits

J2.3.14 System Survey and Assessment / Utility Record Drawings The Contractor shall initiate a comprehensive survey of the system to identify components not shown on record drawings and identify errors on existing record drawings. Production and maintenance of record drawings shall be in accordance with RFP Paragraph C.5.1.5, Record Drawings, and all work shall conform to the latest release of the software the Government is using compatible with the latest versions of Spatial Data Standards. The Contractor will provide geo-referenced data in a format that can be readily used in GIS (geographic information system) (widely used by DoD and external agencies). All maps and associated data must comply with the latest version of Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE) available from the CADD/GIS Technology Center at http://tsc.wes.army.mil/products/TSSDS- TSFMS/tssds/html. The project must be completed not later than one year after the contract start date. Effort will include a comprehensive record search, will also require physical survey work, and may include some excavation to ascertain line location, type, and condition.

The Contractor will also develop and maintain an accurate computerized model of the utility system. The model should reflect major system components and attributes. It is envisioned that this model will be used for briefing, planning activities, contingency applications, long-range plans, analyzing system faults, and addition or deletion of new flow.

J2.3.15 Installation Design Guide The Contractor will follow APG’s Installation Design Guide (IDG) and the respective environmental guide specifications for all work. The Contractor shall provide updates to the IDG with his applicable construction standards and specifications within 45 days after the contract start date.

J2.3.18 I&I Program Although there have been periodic efforts to determine the source and correct serious I&I problems, there are currently no ongoing I&I initiatives. A comprehensive I&I inspection and identification program must be established consistent with RFP Paragraph L.4.2, Table L-1.

J2.3.19 Environmental Issues The Contractor shall follow all environmental rules and regulations IAW with RFP Section C.10, Environmental Compliance.

J2.3.20 Required Regulatory Reports The Contractor shall be responsible for any reporting required by local, State and Federal regulatory bodies. The Contractor shall provide the COR with information as directed that may be necessary and in the timeframe requested to support reports required by the Department of the Army and other appropriate agencies.

J2.3.21 Official Inspections The Contractor shall immediately inform the COR, the Environmental Division of the DIO, APG through the KO or COR when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the MDE, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the State of Maryland or County Department of Health, the Public Service Commission, or OSHA provide notification of any scheduled or unscheduled inspector visits to the Installation for an official inspection.

J2.3.22 First Response Investigation Restoration of utility service is extremely important to DoD installations and expectations are generally covered well throughout this RFP. However, occasions do arise where it may not be immediately apparent who the responsible repair agency is. This frequently occurs where an apparent fault (e.g., line break, leak, etc.) is located near a point of demarcation. In these situations, someone may have to excavate to the actual fault to determine the precise location of the fault and who the appropriate repair agency is. The Contractor must plan to perform this type of “first response investigation”. This may involve pumping water and excavation. In these situations, the Contractor should proceed toward fixing the problem until such time it is determined that repair responsibility is with someone else.

J2.3.23 Response to Service Requests The Contractor shall respond only to service requests (service calls) issued by the DIO or designated representative. The Contractor shall have a telephone manned 24 hours/day, 365 days/year that the Government may call to report utility system problems. There shall be only one phone number, active during working hours and non-working hours, for the Government to call to report system problems. For all response times, the Contractor shall respond within the allotted time, take necessary corrective actions, order necessary materials, and schedule additional repairs.

The Contractor shall develop procedures for notification of utility outage to necessary personnel during the transition period.

JUNE 2008

J2-24

J2.3.24 Utility Outage Because of the critical nature of many of the Installation’s mission requirements, response to utility emergencies in and around the Installation must be immediate. The Contractor will respond with a knowledgeable individual to emergency utility problems within 30 minutes of notification during normal working hours, as defined in the RFP Section C.9.4 – Working Hours, and within 1 hour during non-working hours. Additionally, repair crews must be on scene within one hour during working hours and within two hours during non-working hours. Work shall be continued until the problem is corrected. The above response times do not apply to conditions where inclement weather (tornadoes, ice/snow storms, major lightning storms, floods) prevents normal operation. It is recognized that extraordinary conditions will cause the response times to vary proportionally to the number and expanse of system outages, and the priority of service restoration.

The type of service request, priority and minimum response time for various service requests are furnished below.

EMERGENCY:

Emergency - Life or Death – Respond Immediately “Life or Death” emergencies will typically be handled by APG-EA’s Emergency Response agencies, like the Military Police or Fire Department. These agencies or DIO will contact the Contractor. The Contractor shall respond immediately.

Priority 1 - Emergency - Not Life or Death - Respond Same Day IAW previous paragraph Priority 1 requests arise due to situations that, if left uncorrected, will cause significant damage to a facility, or compromise security or safety, or negatively affect productivity for an entire operation or group. The Contractor shall respond to Priority 1 request on the same working day. The Contractor shall complete the service orders within 7 business days unless there is a delay from the Government or the Contractor cannot procure the material.

URGENT:

Priority 2 – “Health & Welfare” – Respond within 3 Working Days Priority 2 requests arise due to situations that, if left uncorrected will measurably reduce productivity, cause discomfort or inconvenience to the customer, waste resources, or create the need for additional minor repairs. The Contractor shall respond to Priority 2 request within three working days.
