Treatment and Disposal of PFAS Contaminated Soil Stockpiles

Multiple Projects

Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska

Performance Work Statement

1 July 2022

Revision AM#0001 12 July 2022

Revision AM#0003 28 July 2022

GENERAL

The objective of this performance work statement (PWS) is to treat and dispose of poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminated soil that is currently stockpiled at Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB), Alaska. The work shall be conducted in compliance with 18 Alaska Administrative Code (AAC) 75 Oil and Other Hazardous

Substances Pollution Control and all other applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The Contractor shall be responsible for identifying and complying with the applicable federal, state, and local regulations that will affect this contract.

The Contractor shall be responsible for fully executing this PWS under a Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA).

This shall be accomplished by conducting required environmental services for which the United States Air Force

(USAF) is statutorily responsible. The Contractor shall address all environmental, scheduling, and regulatory issues, and assume contractual liability and responsibility for the achievement of the performance objectives for contaminated soil treatment or disposal.

The Contractor shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions more particularly set forth below, furnish all labor, management, facilities, supplies, equipment, transportation, and material (other than those to be furnished by the Government as hereinafter provided), and do all things necessary for, or incidental to, performance of the work as set forth below. The Contractor shall furnish to the Government plans, reports, and other data together with supporting material developed during the period of performance. During the progression of the work, the Contractor shall provide adequate professional supervision and quality control to assure the accuracy, quality, completeness, and progress of the work. Work will be conducted with coordination with: United States Army Corps of Engineers

(USACE), USAF, Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), Alaska Department of Environmental

Conservation (ADEC), United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and other stakeholders, as required. All work shall be performed in accordance with the guidance documents listed in Section 0.

BACKGROUND

EAFB occupies approximately 19,700 acres in the Tanana Valley Flood Plain of interior Alaska. The property includes 3,650 improved acres along with forest, ponds, and wetlands. Over 3,000 people work at the installation, and it is home to over 3,200 active-duty personnel and their families. The 354th Fighter Wing (Wing) is the host unit at EAFB and is assigned to the 11th Air Force. The 11th Air Force falls under the Pacific Air Force (PACAF), headquartered at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Alaska. The Wing supports operations, maintenance, mission support, and medical group functions and is host to ten tenant units. Stakeholders include residents of

EAFB; the towns of Salcha, Moose Creek, and North Pole; state and federal natural resource agencies; USEPA; and

ADEC.

In 2016, the USAF announced that it would locate two squadrons of F35A fighter planes at Eielson Air Force Base in interior Alaska. The bed down of these planes required the construction of numerous facilities and infrastructure over the past 4 years, with each project involving varying amounts of soil excavation to support building foundations, site grading, and utility installation. Most of the new facilities are in an area of the installation with known environmental impacts from PFAS, including perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid

(PFOA). To avoid delay to the construction projects, the USAF developed an approach for the on-base management and stockpiling of potentially impacted soils. This approach was approved through the 2018 F-35 Programmatic

Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) Work Plan (USAF 2018). Additional documents associated with EAFB can be found on the administrative record webpage: https://ar.afcec-cloud.af.mil/.

Soils from fourteen (14) construction projects have been placed in stockpiles at the long-term storage area (Landfill

#3 or the adjacent contingency areas) on EAFB. Soil from thirteen (13) construction projects are included in this solicitation. Soil volumes are approximate, all soils associated with an awarded project shall be treated/disposed regardless of actual quantities. The stockpile survey data are included in a comprehensive characterization report

(AFCEC 2021) provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI).

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SOIL TREATMENT OR DISPOSAL

Soils must be treated and disposed in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations as well as

USAF and USACE policies and procedures and the most current version of the National Defense Authorization Act

(NDAA). Nothing in this contract shall exempt the Contractor from Federal, State, or local laws or regulations unless a specific exemption has been acquired.

Soil stockpile maintenance and monitoring is currently being conducted under a separate contract. The contractor shall coordinate with this contractor on the turnover of soil stockpiles for treatment. The Contractor will take possession of stockpiles under awarded Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS) at the end of this contract (30 June

2023) until final disposition of the soil. Stockpiles shall be maintained in accordance with the EAFB Stockpile

Standard Operating Procedure (included as GFI). The Contractor shall ensure that all treated material is appropriately stockpiled pending confirmation of achieving target cleanup levels (TCLs).

The Contractor shall treat soil stockpiles from F-35 construction projects using Soil Washing (SW). Ultimately the contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the entire awarded volume of soil is treated to meet the TCLs or disposed at an approved facility. The Contractor shall independently verify the stockpile volume and percent “fines” to verify the results provided in the GFI are accurate. Verification methodology and results would be subject to

USACE review and concurrence.

The primary performance objective is to conduct treatment using SW to separate the soil fractions and reduce PFAS concentrations in the sand and gravel fraction (based on Stockpile Characterization Report, Brice 2021) below

TCLs. It is anticipated that a single pass will be sufficient to separate the sand and gravel soil fractions and reduce

PFAS levels below TCLs. However, the contractor is ultimately responsible for determining actual number of passes required to achieve the performance objective.

The secondary performance objective is to reduce the percentage of the “fines” (silt and clay fraction) that ultimately requires disposal at an approved facility. The Contractor shall determine if an additional pass of the “fines” through the SW system can further reduce PFAS concentrations in this soil fraction to achieve TCLs. If the Contractor is unable to reduce PFAS levels in the fines below the TCL, following additional passes and SW system optimization, the Contractor shall utilize one of the following disposal options:

Disposal at a USEPA approved RCRA Subtitle C or D landfill that has a leachate collection system or

Disposal at a USEPA approved Class I Underground Injection Control (UIC) facility.

The Contractor shall receive a performance incentive for reducing the portion of the fines that ultimately require disposal. Reductions may be achieved through additional passes through the SW system and/or treatment optimization efforts. The Stockpile Characterization Report (AFCEC 2021) includes soil gradation results and identifies the percent fines for each stockpile. Once the contractor has demonstrated that the soil and gravel fraction meet TCLs the Contractor shall determine if additional pass of the “fines” through the SW system can reduce PFAS levels below TCLs. An incremental optional task is included for additional pass of the fines through the SW system.

If the Contractor can demonstrate that a second pass of the fines would be cost effective to reduce the PFAS levels below TCLs, the Government will negotiate incentives with the contractor based on potential savings of treatment over disposal cost. If the Contractor is unable to demonstrate that additional treatment can effectively reduce the quantity of soil requiring disposal it is anticipated they will abandon attempts at additional treatment and dispose of the fines.

Treated soil shall be sampled to confirm the adequacy of the treatment process. The contractor shall utilize ISM sampling with a maximum decision unit size of 500 CY, calculate the 95% UCL using the 2020 Interstate

Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) requirements, and compare sampling results to the most stringent ADEC soil cleanup level for the analytes that exceeded within the Decision Unit (DU) prior to treatment.

The Contractor shall prepare a Closure Report to document the treatment and disposal of stockpiles. The Closure report should include laboratory results, 95% UCL calculations, waste manifests, disposal certificates, documentation of placement of clean soil, etc. The purpose of the Closure Report is to document how and where all associated wastes have been treated and/or disposed. The Closure Report for multiple projects may be combined if tasks are awarded or completed concurrently.

The Contractor shall conduct site restoration by removing and disposing of all stockpile liners, covers, sandbags, and other associated materials. Berms and sumps shall be graded to match the surrounding area. The area should be graded to drain such that the water will not pool or cause erosion. The existing cap on Landfill No. 3 shall not be disturbed or excavated.

The contractor shall place treated and uncontaminated soil at a pre-approved location on the installation. The contractor shall grade the material to maintain the natural contour of the land and apply hydroseed (using a seed mix appropriate for the area). AM#0001…For proposal purposes the Contractor shall assume maximum fill thickness of 10 feet….AM#0001

A laydown yard will be made available on EAFB for Contractors use to place equipment, perform treatment of soils, and/or placement of office trailers. Approximately ½ acre of laydown yard located east of Building 4371 will be available, however, the Contractor shall not restrict access to the Asbestos Landfill, the fenced Storage Yard, or the

Contaminated Media Holding Cells Facility. Electrical power will be available for Contractors use on a for purchase basis. Current utility rates will be included as GFI with this solicitation. The Contractor shall make all electrical connections to an existing power pole and/or transformer-mounted pad located near Building 4371. The Contractor may request additional laydown yard space; however, the Government cannot guarantee space will be available.

Water from Building 4371 and/or Mullins Pit may be available upon Contractor’s request for dust suppression and other uses.

Task 1: Project Management and Work plan

The Contractor shall provide overall project management for the duration of this contract, including the development, implementation, and maintenance of project schedules, events, and resources; periodic project meetings; and monthly reports describing progress towards achieving project objectives. The Contractor shall include incremental project management and meeting costs in the optional tasks to account for extensions of the contract completion date (CCD).

The Contractor shall develop a Work Plan (WP) that addresses all technical and regulatory aspects of the project.

Management activities shall include but are not limited to:

Timely and appropriate responses to inquiries from the USACE Contracting Officer (KO), Contracting Officer

Representative (COR), and Project Manager (PM) regarding aspects of the project. All USACE project delivery team inquiries will be communicated to the Contractor through the PM or COR, and all contractor correspondence shall be directed to the PM and COR.

Management and control of all project performance including subcontracted services.

Project Schedule

The Contractor shall submit a detailed schedule within ten (10) days of award of this contract showing the periods in which work will be performed and milestone dates to complete the scoped tasks. The project schedule shall be provided in Gantt chart format and shall include dates for starting and completing critical features of the work. The

Contractor will review the applicable submittal dates and propose a deliverable schedule that allows the government sufficient time to review and coordinate in time to meet all required regulatory agency submittal dates. The

Contractor shall update and resubmit the schedule when changes to the schedule are realized, and with each monthly status report submission.

Meetings

The Contractor shall arrange, prepare for, and participate in the following meetings:

Kick off meeting with the USACE PM and COR, and EAFB Remedial Project Manager (RPM) (assume one 4-hour meeting). The kickoff meeting will be held within 10 days of contract award. The meeting shall be conducted by teleconference.

If the Contractor can demonstrate that a second pass of the fines would be cost effective to reduce the PFAS levels below TCLs the Government will negotiate incentives with the contractor based on potential savings of treatment over disposal cost. If the Contractor is unable to demonstrate that additional treatment can effectively reduce the quantity of soil requiring disposal it is anticipated they will abandon attempts at additional treatment and dispose of the fines. The Contractor shall demonstrate their ability to reduce disposal at their cost and prior to award of Task 18 or issuance of any incentives.

Table 5 - Incentives

Percent Reduction in Fines Requiring Disposal Incentive Percentage

25% 2.5% of disposal costs

50% 5% of disposal costs

75% 7.5% of disposal costs

100% 10% of disposal costs

For example: Project EIE 384 includes 10,360 CY of PFAS contaminated Soil. Assume the following: disposal is

$500/ton, additional treatment is $150/CY, soil density is 1.4 tons/cy, and 24% fines. Approximately 2,500 CY of this soil is “fines”. If the Contractor can treat entire soil volume and reduce the amount of fines requiring disposal by 100%, they would receive an incentive bonus based on 10% of the disposal cost for the 2,500CY (2500cy X 1.4 tons/CY X $500/ton X 0.1) for a total of $175,000. If the Contractor can treat the fines with a second pass and successfully reduce the amount of fines requiring disposal by 100% they would receive an incentive bonus based on

10% of the disposal cost minus the additional treatment cost for the 2,500CY ({[2500cy X 1.4 tons/CY X $500/ton]-

[2,500CY X $150/CY]} X 0.1) for a total of $157,500.
