1.0 Introduction. This is a non-personal services contract to provide Waste Pumping and Disposal services to Fort McCoy, Wisconsin in accordance with the work schedule and specifications contained herein. The Contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, permits, licenses, fees (to include disposal, treatment, tipping, etc.) facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Contractor is not responsible for the removal of Biohazard, HAZMAT, UXO, and other waste materials not specifically mentioned. The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers. The Contractor shall perform to the standards specified in this PWS. Contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. Contractor’s work and responsibility shall include, but is not limited to, Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) liquid and dry cake sludge removal, service and maintain cooking oil containers and grease interceptors, WWTP grease and debris removal, service vault toilets, septic tanks and oil water separator pumping and servicing, all job planning, programming, scheduling, administration, inspection, and management necessary to accomplish the required specified services at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin.

Background. Fort McCoy is situated on approximately 60,000 acres in the Coulee Region of West Central Wisconsin. Fort McCoy is located on HWY 21 between Tomah and Sparta. The population base consists of approximately 3000 military, Government civilian, and Contactor personnel, as well as resident family members. Fort McCoy’s primary mission is to underpin readiness of force by serving as a training center and support site for power projection missions. As a Total Force Training Center, Fort McCoy’s primary responsibility is providing quality training facilities for military forces, which require the periodic removal and disposal of various waste types.

Objectives. The Contractor shall ensure all work accomplished in the performance of this PWS meets all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and directives to include, but not limited to, the written directives issued by the Contracting Officer (KO) or their authorized representative, and the publications in paragraph 7.2, Related Documents. The Contractor shall maintain the proper operation of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, Dining Facilities, septic tanks, and Oil Water Separators. The PWS is written to define “what” is required and leaves the decision on “how” to perform the work up to the Contractor. The intent is to establish work requirements that are performance-based and results-oriented. The Contractor shall determine the best and most cost-effective ways to fulfill Waste Pumping and Disposal and their component needs, emphasizing innovation and commercial best practices. Unless law or regulation specifically requires a particular process, the Contractor is free to determine “how” to do the work, subject to the overall expectation that the Contractor will use the most cost-effective methods appropriate to satisfy the Installation needs. The nature of this work requires the Contractor to use flexible employment and scheduling techniques to minimize cost and maximize performance outcomes, and to adapt to varying workload requirements. This may require work outside normal duty hours, including 24-hour operations and shift work to meet mission requirements. The Contractor shall perform to the standards within this contract, compile historical data, prepare required reports, and submit all information as specified by the Deliverables presented in the contract. The Contractor shall ensure all work in support of mission requirements tendered to the Government for acceptance conform to the measurable performance standards of quality, timeliness, and quantity specified in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) of this contract.

1.2.1 Type of Contract. The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price service contract. The quantity shown per Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) is an estimate that shall not to be exceeded without prior approval in the form of a contract modification from the Contracting Officer (KO). It is the intent of the contract to be able to order any quantity, as necessary, up to the awarded amount to the base period or option period CLIN. The estimated quantities shown per CLIN is not guaranteed and may vary depending on actual need; and any unused quantities may be removed by contract modification at the end of the date range covered by the CLINs. The Government may order any quantity of items on a CLIN, until the respective contract period of performance CLIN dollar amount is maxed out. The Government pays only for the actual quantities ordered and received. The contractor shall not provide services exceeding the funded value of the CLINs.

Climatic Conditions. Ft McCoy is in Monroe County WI which is in the Upper Mississippi River Valley of the Midwest with relatively hilly terrain and bluffs. The area experiences a temperate climate with both warm and cold season extremes. Winter months can bring occasional heavy snows, intermittent freezing precipitation or ice, and prolonged periods of cloudiness. While true blizzards are rare, winter storms impact the area on average about 3 to 4 times per season. Occasional arctic outbreaks bring extreme cold and dangerous wind chills. Temperatures between river valleys and surrounding ridges can vary greatly. Typically, high temperatures on ridges are 3° to 5°F colder than valleys. This can lead to slightly more average snowfall on ridge tops and occasionally a difference in winter precipitation types from ridge to valley. Temperatures in lowlands, or bogs, are often 10 to 15 degrees colder at night and can even freeze in summer. Thunderstorms occur on average 30 to 50 times a year, mainly in the spring and summer months. The strongest storms can produce associated severe weather like tornadoes, large hail, or damaging wind. Heat and high humidity are occasionally observed in June, July, or August. The autumn season usually has the quietest weather. Valley fog is most common in the late summer and early fall months. On calm nights, colder air settles into valleys leading to colder low temperatures compared to ridge top locations.

Below are basic climatology figures for the Monroe County area. Data is valid for Ft McCoy, WI based on a 30-year period (1981-2010).
