Introduction

1.1 Scope

The Contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, and labor necessary to perform the BRAC Environmental Construction and Optimization Services (BECOS) requirements. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the initial task order meeting support for implementation of the full range of environmental, construction, and optimization services necessary to conduct site restoration including maintenance of established remedies, implementation of optimization, and remediation activities to achieve performance objectives to include emerging requirements for environmental remediation as identified in this Task Order (TO). Regulatory engagement at the installations listed below can range from local to federal agencies at any given time during the TO performance. This PWS covers the following region and Air Force (AF) BRAC installations including any associate geographically separated unit (GSU) locations:

Central South Region:

The former Bergstrom Air Force Base (AFB) is located in Austin, Travis County, Texas. At the former Bergstrom AFB, the sites are being addressed following the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) process or Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP). Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is the lead regulatory support agency.

The former Brooks AFB (Brooks-City Base) is located in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. The restoration program at Brooks is currently managed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Regulatory oversight is provided by the TCEQ and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

The former Carswell AFB (now known as Naval Air Station [NAS] Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base–Carswell Field) was closed in September 1993 and most of the property was integrated into NAS Fort Worth. There is currently a site at the former Carswell AFB being addressed following the RCRA process.

The former Eaker AFB is located in Blytheville, Mississippi County, Arkansas. At the former Eaker AFB, the sites are being addressed following the RCRA process or MMRP. The AF and the USEPA signed an administrative consent order indicating sites were subject to RCRA corrective action and would be addressed under RCRA.

The former England AFB is located in Alexandria, Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Remedial actions at this facility are conducted under the RCRA program, in accordance with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments program.

The former Homestead Air Force Base (AFB) is located in Homestead, Miami Dade County, Florida. At the former Homestead AFB, sites are being addressed under the CERCLA or State of Florida Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL) program. The former Homestead AFB is listed on the NPL and has a Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA) that was signed in 1991.

The former Kelly AFB is located in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Environmental restoration is executed through the TCEQ-issued RCRA post-closure care permit and compliance plan. There is currently one Underground Storage Tanks (UST) site that is following the TCEQ’s Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank (LPST) program requirements.

The former Myrtle Beach AFB is located in northeastern Myrtle Beach, Horry County, South Carolina. The sites are being addressed following the Final Administrative Order (USEPA Region IV, September 1995, AR#374) and the Administrative Order on Consent (03-08-HW, AR#1966) between the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) and the Department of the Air Force (March 2003). Other regulatory drivers include the SCDHEC Bureau of Water, Code of Regulations of South Carolina (Chapter 61, Section 92) and the Underground Storage Tank Control Regulations.

The former Reese AFB is located in Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas. Environmental restoration is executed through the TCEQ issued RCRA corrective action permit and compliance plan.

1.2 General BECOS Scope and Requirements

This PWS encompasses the full range of methods, technologies, and supporting activities necessary to support initial task order meetings required to conduct environmental restoration/remediation efforts to address environmental sites and conditions at Air Force installations and other locations in accordance with technical and regulatory requirements.

The AF is required to implement remedies as necessary to enable the mission, protect human health and the environment and comply with laws. The goal of the BECOS contract is to ensure the AF continues to fulfill all facets of its Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) mission, while effectively and efficiently managing the program in a performance-based, results-oriented and cost conscious framework. The AF desires all sites be cleaned up to standards that allow for the current or reasonably anticipated future land use of the property in accordance with approved decision documents. The AF is interested in reduction of long-term environmental liabilities and Life-Cycle Costs, through optimization of environmental restoration activities for sites while complying with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. This could include a variety of environmental restoration services and construction necessary to maintain regulatory selected remedies, implement optimization to enhance remedial progress, and advance sites to completion in a cost effective manner. The efforts will be executed in accordance with technical and regulatory requirements to ensure protection of human health and the environment.

The Contractor shall function as an integral team member in support of the AF Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) and BRAC mission, to include the sharing of information with other AFCEC Contractors and AF personnel, and cooperation with communities, regulators, and other government entities. Requirements such as the achievement of accurate, on-time, quality performance objectives and timely identification and solution of impediments to successful project execution are necessary to ensure efficient management of this TO. Early involvement in the process by all parties allows for the development of the most cost-effective and technically sound approach or solution. The AFCEC will rely on the Contractor’s expertise in recognizing and addressing problematic issues and successful execution of this TO. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. Remedies shall conform to environmental permits, decision document requirements, or other legal requirements.

In carrying out each work assignment issued as a TO under the basic contract, the Contractor shall furnish the personnel, services, equipment, materials, facilities, and other requirements necessary for, and incidental to, the performance of work set forth herein.

Primary technical services shall be performed by individuals who are credentialed members of architectural, planning, science, and engineering professions. Disciplines such as architects, landscape architects, engineering disciplines typically associated with environmental engineers and scientists (e.g., professional engineer [PE], professional geologist [PG]), planners, cost estimators, Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) technicians, publication writers/editors, technical writers, graphic artists, and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysts are included. Generally, a credentialed professional (a) is licensed (e.g., registered professional engineer) to practice in the state where a facility is located and/or (b) commands the necessary expertise, in terms of knowledge and experience, to undertake the specified task.
