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:

Midwest Region:

The former Chanute Air Force Base (AFB) is located in the Village of Rantoul, Champaign County, Illinois. The Operable Unit (OU)-2 portion of the former Chanute AFB was proposed for addition to the National Priorities List (NPL), but to date has not been added to the list. Sites are being addressed following the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and liability Act (CERCLA) process. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the lead regulatory support agency.

Former General Mitchell Air Reserve Station (ARS) is situated in the southwest portion of the General Mitchell International Airport (GMIA) property and has a footprint of approximately 101 acres in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Sites are being addressed following the CERCLA process. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) is the regulatory authority.

The former Gentile Air Force Station (AFS), also known as the Defense Electronics Supply Center (DESC), is located within the city of Kettering, in Montgomery County, Ohio. The environmental restoration program at the former Gentile AFS is currently managed under CERCLA. Regulatory oversight is provided primarily by Ohio EPA.

Former Grissom AFB is located approximately 15 miles north of Kokomo in Cass County, Indiana. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is the regulatory authority.

The former K.I. Sawyer AFB is located in Marquette County approximately 13 miles south of the City of Marquette and three miles east of Gwinn in the north-central region of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. One site associated with the former K.I. Sawyer AFB, Site OT013, the former Defense Fuel Supply Point (DFSP), is located in Escanaba, Michigan, about 50 miles from the main base. Sites are addressed following the Michigan Part 201 process and CERCLA.

The former Newark AFB is located in Heath, Licking County, Ohio. The environmental restoration program at the former Newark AFB is currently managed under CERCLA. Regulatory oversight is provided by Ohio EPA.

The former O’Hare ARS is located within O’Hare Airport in Chicago, Illinois.

The former Richards-Gebaur AFB is located in Kansas City, Cass County, Missouri. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) provides regulatory oversight of the environmental program.

The Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base (RANGB) is located in the City of Columbus, in Franklin County and Pickaway County, Ohio. The environmental restoration program at the BRAC portion of RANGB is currently managed under CERCLA, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Ohio’s Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulation (BUSTR) program. Regulatory oversight is provided primarily by Ohio EPA and BUSTR.

The former Wurtsmith AFB is located in Charter Township of Oscoda, Champaign County, Michigan. The environmental restoration program is being conducted pursuant to the CERCLA with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) functioning as the lead regulatory agency.

The Contractor is solely responsible for reviewing all publicly available information and forming their independent, professional conclusions/interpretation of site conditions and requirements to achieve the performance objectives of this TO.

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.
