EVALUATION TASK

Support of Remediation Effort at Redstone Arsenal

THIS A FICTIONAL REQUIREMENT INTENDED FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES

ONLY.

1.0 SCOPE. The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC), Chemical Biological Center, Chemical Biological Application and Risk Reduction (CBARR) business unit requires support for intrusive operations at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama.

1.1 Background. CBARR is leading the integration and execution of a dynamic global chemical and biological mission with a diverse workforce. Redstone Arsenal (RSA) is located in the southwestern portion of Madison County, which is in the northern portion of Alabama. RSA is bounded by the city of Huntsville on the north and east, and the Tennessee River to the south. RSA is an active U.S. Army facility that encompasses approximately 38,182 acres of land, all of which are either owned or controlled by the Army. Development within RSA has largely revolved around the historical production (and later disposal) of conventional and chemical munitions and, more recently, development and testing of missiles and rockets. This task will support the ongoing effort to investigate and remove contamination associated with past chemical warfare munition operations at RSA Site 121. The RSA-121 site consists of a 3,000 square foot concrete pad which is remaining after the demolition of the structure that once supported the filling of chemical munitions. While there are no underground utilities, some drains and lines are suspected to have leached chemical contamination below the surface of the pad. Sampling is required to determine the extent of contamination prior to removal of the pad.

1.2 Objective. The objective of this task order is to solicit Contractor support to conduct soil sampling beneath the 3,000 square foot concrete pad at RSA-121. CBARR will specifically need support in the following six scope areas: administrative and project analysis, transportation, issuance of personal protective equipment, sampling operations, analytical field support and data management. All requirements must be completed in compliance with safety, health and environmental regulations.

1.2.1 CBARR will lead remediation operations at RSA-121 by conducting the following activities:

• Intrusive Operations

• Chemical Laboratory Operations

• Field Sampling

• Waste Monitoring

• Air Monitoring

• Historical Background Sample Collection and Analysis

• Collection and Analysis of Vapor Screening Samples

• Environmental Sample Analysis

• Electronic Data Delivery to the Customer

All activities are intended to assess residual contamination below the surface of the concrete pad at RSA-121.
