1.0 SCOPE

This requirement is for environmental remediation activities to include environmental services, minor construction, and A&E services at Hill AFB. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the scope of Environmental Remediation activities to achieve performance objectives at 23 Installation Restoration

Program (IRP) sites and three (3) Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) sites.

1.1 Introduction

Hill AFB (HAFB) is located in northern Utah, approximately 25 miles north of Salt Lake City and about five miles south of Ogden. The Base occupies approximately 6,700 acres in Davis and

Weber counties. The base is bounded on the west by Interstate 15 and the Davis-Weber Canal;

and on the east by private property. HAFB and earlier military installations that occupied the

Base operated industrial facilities related to military aircraft since the construction of the Ogden

Air Depot in 1940. Many different aircraft, missile, and weapons systems have been maintained and tested in the course of continuous operation and expansion of the Base since its inception.

Industrial activities at HAFB have created a number of hazardous waste sites. Contamination from chemicals has impacted the groundwater and formed large plumes, both on and off Base.

Remediation activities at Hill AFB are being conducted pursuant to Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and

Reauthorization Act (SARA), and National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan (NCP) requirements. Regulatory oversight is provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and with Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ).

Environmental remediation activities at Little Mountain Test Facility (LMTF) are being conducted pursuant to the CERCLA in accordance with an Integration Agreement (IA) with regulatory oversight provided by UDEQ.

Environmental remediation activities at DB001, OT106, and SS030 are being conducted pursuant to the

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) with regulatory oversight provided by EPA and UDEQ.

The installation was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1987. The installation is being administered under a Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) signed by EPA and UDEQ in 1991.

The Contractor is solely responsible for reviewing all publicly available information and forming their independent, professional conclusions/interpretation of site conditions and requirements to achieve the performance objectives of this contract.

1.2 General ORC Scope and Requirements

The AF is required to implement remedies as necessary to enable the mission, protect human health and the environment and comply with laws. The goal of the ORC initiative is to ensure the AF continues to fulfill all facets of its Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) mission, while effectively and efficiently managing the program in a performance-based, results-oriented and cost conscious framework. The AF desires all sites be cleaned up to standards that allow for the current or reasonably anticipated future land use of the property. The intent of the ORC initiative is to advance site cleanup during the Period of

Performance (POP) in the most efficient and cost effective manner as supported by a business case analysis that achieves the greatest reduction in life-cycle cost (LCC). The AF is interested in substantial reduction of long-term environmental liabilities and LCCs, through optimization of environmental restoration activities for all sites included in this contract while complying with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations; and applicable base-specific orders, agreements, or rules.

The Contractor shall function as an integral team member in support of the Air Force Civil Engineer

Center (AFCEC) mission to include the sharing of information with other AFCEC contractors and AF personnel, and cooperation with community stakeholders, regulators, and other Government entities.

Requirements for efficient management of this contract include, but are not limited to, the achievement of accurate, on-time, quality performance objectives and timely identification and solution of impediments to successful project execution. Technical requirements include, but are not limited to, early involvement in the process to allow for the development of the most cost-effective and technically sound approach or solution. AFCEC will rely on the Contractor’s expertise in recognizing and addressing problematic issues and successful execution of this contract. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. The Contractor shall also comply with base regulations. Remedies shall conform to environmental permits, decision document requirements, or other legal requirements.
