Performance Work Statement For Pacific Based Civil Support Teams (CST)

FTX "KONFITMA 2016"

1.0 Objective: The objective of the task is to assist and execute a 36 hour, full scale, Joint CST, Chemical/Biological/Radiological Weapons of Mass Destruction Field Training Exercise on the island of Saipan from 29 February – 4 March 2016. Exercise will create an environment to facilitate the accurate assessment of the twelve National Guard Mission Essential Tasks outlined in the DTMS Combined Armed Training Strategy (CATS) Civil Support Team Mission Essential Tasks dated May 09. This exercise will involve the 93d (HI), 94th (GU), and 103rd CST (AK) as well as backfill members and strike teams from the Mainland CST’s.

2.0 Specific Tasks: The contractor will provide all necessary, personnel, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment as indicated below to perform the tasks outlined:

2.1 Scenario Development-The series of exercises will not only measure the training and readiness level of the team in accordance with DTMS Combined Armed Training Strategy (CATS) Civil Support Team Mission Essential Tasks, but will also reinforce interoperability, communications, and RIP/TOA procedures and aid in the development of standard operating guidelines (SOGs). The scenarios must include at least one (1) Chemical, one (1) Biological, and one (1) Radiological hazard that will allow each team to challenge their individual section capabilities and equipment. The scenarios must be designed to aid in the identification of possible team shortcomings and weak areas, and to re-train those areas as necessary. They must also provide an environment ready for on-the-fly injects as necessary to ensure all of the DTMS Combined Armed Training Strategy (CATS) Civil Support Team Mission Essential Tasks are completed to standard. Should any weak areas be found, the scenarios should provide for immediate re-training in those areas. The scenarios must provide complexity and realism representative of an actual Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) event. Contractor will provide realistic training aids, devices, and simulations that properly simulate current CST detection and analytical equipment enabling the CST to make sophisticated assessments and decisions. Realism and technical exactitude are crucial for all training aids, devices, simulators, and locations. The full scenarios should each provide for one complete and continuous demanding day of training not to exceed 36 hours.

2.2 Scenario Staffing- The contractor will provide experienced and certified staff to create target sites that replicate elaborate chemical and biological laboratory production, radiological and explosives manufacturing labs, and act as role players in the scenario. The minimal roles include Incident Commander (IC), FBI or local law enforcement, Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Safety Officer, Staging Officer, and Medical reach-back. All staff must have a full understanding of the Incident Command System (ICS) and their role in WMD events. Since staff will be playing the roles of trained Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) professionals and reacting to the decisions of the CST, they must be fully trained and possess at least 10 years of experience in HAZMAT operations to the level of “Technician” in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 472. As these exercises are to assist in SOG construction and implementation, as well as reinforce Training and Evaluation Tasks enforced at a national certification level, prior contactor participation in at least three (3) national level training exercises to include having executed at least (5) CST External Evaluations (EXEVAL) is vital to plenary understanding of the training requirements. All staff must be well versed in CST Operations and all governing regulations to supplement the training and reinforcement of standard CST operating principals during the exercise. The contractor will possess at least three certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). Contractor staff will also possess basic skills in electrical, plumbing, and carpentry for target site adjustments (see 3.1 and 3.2 below)

3.0 Place of Performance. The contractor ensures locations/buildings meet the requirements for target location, vehicle footprint, communications equipment, egress, and functioning utilities (electricity, water supply) in accordance with the DTMS Combined Armed Training Strategy (CATS) Civil Support Team Mission Essential Tasks dated, FM 3-11.22, and unit Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG).

3.1 Target Site. The contractor will prepare the target sites as necessary to enhance the realism of the scenarios. Role players with the proper casualty simulation makeup may be necessary in some or all exercises. Contractor must possess the ability to transport hazardous materials which require warning placards, or contract for said service. The contractor will possess the skill set required to perform basic plumbing, carpentry, paint and finish, and electrical work (not requiring permit) to adequately prepare target buildings or, must be able to obtain such services as necessary to insure a realistic training environment. All furniture, decorations, props and chemical toilets (with servicing) will also be provided by the contractor.

3.2 Site Adjustments. Any necessary adjustments to the site (to include building construction, inoperable vehicle placement, demolition, fabrications) will be made by the contractor. This may include the use of heavy and or specialized equipment that the contractor may sub-contract if unable to perform this function with onsite staff. On average, contractor will be required to improve/modify a minimum of (2) abandoned structures acquired for each exercise. The buildings range from approximately 500 – 2000 sq ft in size and are generally at 25%-100% disrepair. Moderate to elaborate construction within the buildings will / may be required, such as: secret room construction, false walls, doors and windows installation, repair or removal. All modifications required will be driven based on the scenario. Minor changes not requiring monetary adjustment to the contract may be negotiated by the COTR or individual designated by the Contracting Officer (KO). The KO must negotiate any changes requiring increased expense to the contractor. At the conclusion of the exercise, the contractor will return the site to its previous state. All clean-up will be done by the contractor.

4.0 Period of Performance. On average, it is estimated that ten (10) working days will be needed to complete the tasks with seven (7) days for preparation of suitable chemical, biological, radiological, and explosives labs, two (2) days for execution, and one (1) day for clean-up.

5.0 Reporting Requirements and Deliverables: Contractor will provide the following deliverables:

5.1 Refined Scenario Summary. The contractor will provide copies of refined scenario summaries for each exercise to 196th IN BDE CST/CERFP Training and Readiness Division no later than 10 days prior to the exercise execution.

5.2 Master Scenario Events List (MSEL). The contractor will provide the 196th IN BDE CST/CERFP Training and Readiness Division a draft of the MSEL no later than 3 days prior to exercises execution. As revisions are made, updated copies will be provided to the 196th IN BDE CST/CERFP Training and Readiness Division.

5.3 After Actions Review (AAR). The contractor will provide a detailed after actions review of the exercise to include any deficiencies noted as they pertain to the DTMS CATS WMD-CST Mission Essential Tasks and/or SOG within 7 days after execution. Any major deficiencies will be noted and provided immediately the day after execution.
