GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK

INTRODUCTION

1.0 The objective of this Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Environmental Remediation Services

(ERS) is to provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with the capability to execute a full range of environmental remediation services necessary for investigations, studies, engineering support, remedial designs, removal and remedial actions and operations and maintenance activities for our customers. Requirements may be under the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) program or executed for military or non-military customers to include the Army, Air Force, Air Force Space Command, Alaskan Command, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Aviation Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Protection Agency or Bureau of Land Management. The work and services under this contract will be performed primarily within the State of Alaska. The Alaska District is part of USACE’s Pacific Ocean Division (POD) which encompasses all areas covered by the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM); therefore some work under this contract may be performed outside of Alaska but within POD’s area of responsibility (AOR). Work performed outside the borders of the United States and its territories will comply with the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between the host nation and the Government of the United States of America.

1.1 The technical requirements specified in this statement of work are intended to provide requirements for execution of the contract and a general understanding of the functions that the contractor may be required to perform on individual task order basis and in general over the ordering period of this IDIQ contract. Each individual Task Order (TO) will contain specific, detailed requirements for each task order project. The contractor will receive from the USACE Alaska District Contracting Officer a complete scope of work, performance work statement, or plans and specifications for each individual TO.

1.2 The Contractor is required to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment to perform environmental remediation services at sites within Alaska and potentially the POD AOR. The Contractor shall provide environmental remediation services as required by each TO issued under this contract. The Contractor may be required to work at hazardous waste sites under the use, control or former use of the Federal Government or at which the Federal Government has been determined to be a generator or potentially responsible party. Further, the Contractor may be tasked to provide environmental support on non-Federally used or owned sites such as Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) or Superfund National Priority List (NPL) sites.

1.3 The contractor shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining a good working relationship with various regulatory agencies during the performance of task orders; however, the contractor is not an employee of the Government and shall not represent the Government in an official or unofficial capacity without the express prior written permission from the Contracting Officer. The regulatory agencies have the authority to review documents prepared for work being performed under an individual TO.

1.4 The contractor shall plan work to ensure cooperation with other contractors and Government employees. The contractor shall not commit any act that will interfere with the performance of work by any other contractor or Government employee.

1.5 Points of contact for each project will be provided in each individual TO. All correspondence and communication shall be through the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer.

1.6 Work issued under this contract will utilize service (Service Contract Act) wage rates as incorporated in each Task Order and shall utilize for key personnel the contractually binding rates established and incorporated in the base IDIQ MATOC (Section B).

1.7 The Contractor shall comply with all provisions of the current edition of the USACE Safety and Health

Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1. Contractor will find the manual at https://www.publications.usace.army.mil/USACE-Publications/Engineer-Manuals/
