ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

a. The Contractor shall operate in full compliance with Federal, State, local, and Depot environmental regulations, laws and programs. In accordance with Executive Order 13423 and 13514 (http://www.ofee.gov/eo/EO_13423.pdf, http://www.ofee.gov/eo/EO_13514.pdf, the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive Implementing Instructions http://www.ofee.gov/eo/eo13423_instructions.pdf, http://www.ofee.gov/eo/eo13514_instructions.pdf), the contractor shall develop, implement and maintain an Environmental Management System (EMS) or adhere to the existing requirements of the Depot’s EMS, being, a structured plan-do-check-correct system to ensure environmental compliance. The Depot’s EMS framework is IAW 14001 ISO Standard and is expected to be certified with ISO 14001 in FY13. The Depot’s EMS is “fence-to-fence” and includes all service contracts.

b. The Contractor’s EMS or adherence to the Depot’s EMS shall be performance based and established so that both operator behaviors/activities and management behaviors/techniques target defined outcomes to include compliance, reduced impact/unnecessary waste, and risk control. The government’s expectation from the Contractor’s implementation of such an EMS is that consistent control of impacts, improvements in business operations and mission enhancement will result. Moreover, the government’s expectation is that the Contractor’s system will be primarily based on performance and secondarily based on documentation. Additional Information on ISO 14001 based Environmental Management Systems is available from the CCAD Environmental Division Chief and/or EMS Manager.
