PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

OPTIMIZED REMEDIATION CONTRACT (ORC)

AT

HILL AIR FORCE BASE (AFB), UT

CONTRACT NUMBER: TBD

3 June 2019

1.0 SCOPE

This requirement is for environmental remediation activities at Hill AFB. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the scope of environmental services necessary to conduct site restoration. The range of activities include maintenance of established remedies, implementation of optimization to enhance remedial progress at applicable sites, and achievement of site specific objectives as identified in each contract. The Contractor shall undertake Environmental Remediation activities to achieve Performance Objectives (POs) at 23 Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites and three (3) Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) sites.

1.1 Introduction

HAFB is located in northern Utah, approximately 25 miles north of Salt Lake City and about five miles south of Ogden. The Installation occupies approximately 6,700 acres in Davis and Weber counties. The Installation 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 Installation 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 Installation 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 Installation.

HAFB is also responsible for two off-base properties – Little Mountain Test Facility (LMTF) and the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). LMTF is a 740-acre annex located 12 miles northwest of HAFB. It has been used from the 1950’s through the present for missile component testing. The UTTR is not included in this contract.

Remediation activities at HAFB 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 (USEPA) and Utah Department of Environmental Quality

(UDEQ).

HAFB was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1987. The IRP and MMRP sites at the installation are being administered under a Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) signed by USEPA and UDEQ in 1991.

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

The LMTF is not on the NPL.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

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 POs of this contract.

1.2 Overview of ORC Scope and Requirements

The Contractor shall perform all the necessary environmental remediation activities required to achieve the POs of this PWS. This PWS and enclosures listed below include general requirements of the project to meet the Air Force (AF) objectives:

• Enclosure 1 – Acronyms and Definitions

• Enclosure 2 – Government Furnished Information

• Enclosure 3 – Government Furnished Property

• Enclosure 4 – Operations Security (OPSEC) Addendum

The AF is required to implement remedies as necessary to enable the mission, protect human health and the environment and comply with laws and regulations. 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 total LCCs. Hand in hand, accurate documentation and reporting of contaminant removal and cost savings are critical adjuncts to optimization success. The AF defines optimization, under the ORC, as the reduction of contaminant mass and concentrations, reduction in LCC, or any combination of activities leading to acceleration of Response Complete (RC)/Site Closeout (SC), as a result of remedial implementation the Contractor undertakes, above and beyond what is required to maintain compliance in accordance with an approved Decision Document (DD).

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 United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), other AFCEC Contractors and AF personnel; and cooperation with community stakeholders, regulators, and other Government entities in accordance with the Community Involvement Plan.

Requirements for efficient management of this contract include, but are not limited to, the achievement of the POs in the Performance Period (PP) per Table 1 of this PWS, and timely identification and solution of impediments to successful project execution. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, tools, materials and other items necessary to perform the tasks defined in this PWS. The Contractor is solely responsible for reviewing all publicly available information and forming their independent, professional conclusions/interpretations of site conditions and requirements to achieve the POs of this contract within PP specified for each site. AFCEC will rely on the Contractor’s expertise in recognizing and addressing problematic issues during the 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 Installation regulations. Remedies shall conform to environmental permits, DD requirements, or other legal requirements.

Site specific POs are identified in Table 1: Performance Table below. POs that are in keeping with standard Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) milestones are defined in Enclosure 1. In addition, for certain categories of sites, the AF has set data-driven POs based on current site conditions in keeping with the POP of the contract and ORC goal. These POs are Optimized Exit Strategy (OES), Alternate Objectives, and Reduce LCC; these terms are described below.

The PP specified in Table 1 starts from the Obligation Date of the first Sub-CLIN for the site unless otherwise specified. All approvals (both Government and regulator) per the Performance Standard are required in writing.

1.2.1 Optimized Exit Strategy (OES)

Not Applicable.

1.2.2 Alternate Objectives

Table 1 of the PWS identifies Alternate Objectives as the PO for selected sites. These sites have complex attributes that have, to date, inhibited progress towards the achievement of RC. For Alternate Objective sites, as for all sites in Table 1 of the PWS where applicable, the Contractor shall maintain compliance throughout the POP of the contract with all existing regulatory requirements including but not limited to regulations, Federal Facility Agreements, RCRA Permits, final or interim RODs, or other equivalent remedial DDs. The Contractor is responsible for implementing changes to the monitoring program based activities in the Advanced Site Characterization (PWS Section 1.2.2.1).

Based on technical review of existing site conditions/activities, the AF placed sites in the category of Alternate Objective if one or more of the following conditions exist:

a) Achieving RC is expected to require substantially longer than 30 years

b) Achieving RC is unattainable with standard characterization and/or existing remediation technology due to technical or other limitations related to site conditions

c) Achieving RC is anticipated to require advanced site characterization technologies to improve the Conceptual Site Model (CSM), determine appropriate remedial technology, and/or characterize recently regulated contaminants

The AF will use data and information obtained during execution of this PWS to determine restoration potential and future investment strategies at Alternative Objective sites. Each Sub- CLIN for the Alternate Objective sites will only be awarded if the activities are needed to determine the future investment strategy for the site. The decision to award each Sub-CLIN resides solely at discretion of the AF.

For each Alternate Objective site, a summary of site-specific considerations is provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI). As with all GFI provided, this GFI is provided for informational purposes only; the Contractor remains responsible for developing their own independent, professional conclusions/interpretation of site conditions and requirements to achieve the PO. The Contractor shall conduct project scoping sessions before work plan development and throughout the planning and execution of the project to meet the PO including the Installation Point(s) of Contact (POC[s]), the AFCEC Program Manager, the AF technical support team, and USACE COR. Upon approval by the Government team, the Contractor shall participate in scoping sessions with the regulators, as appropriate.

1.2.2.1 Advanced Site Characterization

Based on existing data, the AF has determined that the existing remedial approaches at the Alternative Objective sites are not achieving satisfactory remedial progress towards their intended goals. In order for the AF to determine the best path forward for these sites, the Contractor shall conduct Advanced Site Characterization to collect data to update and refine the CSM in order to achieve the following goals: (1) Fill data gaps; and (2) Collect data needed to:

(A) Determine why existing and previous remedial actions are not effective at achieving remedial progress; (B) Determine appropriate remedial technology(ies) based on site conditions;

C) Develop remediation design parameters for recommended technology(ies); and D) Characterize recently regulated contaminants, if required.

Advanced Site Characterization includes the following three activities: (1) Supplemental Site Investigation (SSI), (2) Revised CSM, and (3) Groundwater Monitoring Program Update.

1.2.2.1.1 Supplemental Site Investigation (SSI)

The Contractor shall conduct an SSI to collect data necessary to improve the CSM, determine appropriate remedial technology, support remediation design and construction, and/or characterize recently regulated contaminants. The Contractor shall implement advanced characterization methods, both established approaches and state-of-science techniques consistent with AF, regulatory, Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC), and Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program/Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (SERDP/ESTCP) guidance to attain these objectives. Data collection includes better definition of the geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and/or distribution of Contaminants of Concern (COCs), as required. The Contractor shall evaluate the need for, and collect the following data where appropriate in support of: (1) Source Zone Delineation; (2) Source Strength1,2,3 ; (3) Vertical and lateral extent of contamination, if not sufficiently defined;

(4) Plume Stability4; (5) Migration pathway, rates, and fluxes in 3-D; (6) Mass distribution; (7) Biogeochemical framework; (8) Impact of recent and historical remedies on site conditions; and

The SSI report shall document data collection efforts to include a risk evaluation, if appropriate.

The Contractor shall evaluate and provide recommendations regarding whether additional source control is needed or whether the plume, or portions of the plume, are amenable to natural attenuation by conducting source strength and plume stability evaluations as needed.

1.2.2.1.2 Revised Conceptual Site Model

The Contractor shall develop a revised CSM in 3-D to include establishing or updating existing fate and transport models based on existing data and data gathered during the SSI. The CSM should cover the source area and the distal plume, to include the lateral and vertical extent of the contaminants in the context of geologic/hydrogeological parameters and the remedial actions conducted to date.

1.2.2.1.3 Groundwater Monitoring Program Update

The Contractor shall evaluate the current horizontal and vertical well distribution to determine if the following can be properly evaluated:

Remedy performance in treatment areas Hydrogeology, plume geometry, horizontal and vertical plume stability, and matrix diffusion across site Plume migration through use of perimeter/boundary wells and sentinel wells

Based on the well network evaluation, and coordinated and approved by the Government and regulators (if required), the Contractor shall optimize the monitoring well network to include adjusting sample collection frequency and the addition of new wells as appropriate. The Contractor shall update the Basewide or Site-specific Monitoring Plan or other equivalent document, as appropriate.

1.2.2.2 Remedy Evaluation and Recommendation

Based on all existing data and data gathered during the Advanced Site Characterization, the Contractor shall evaluate the existing active and/or passive remedy(ies)5,6,7. The Contractor shall provide recommendations to augment, modify, and/or replace the existing remedy8. The evaluation and recommendations will include a cost-benefit analyses and evaluation of the usability, expandability, and/or discontinued use of any existing infrastructure. All remedy recommendations must include design performance model addressing all COCs and breakdown products. Performance models need to address reductions in contaminant mass, concentration, and risk as well as reductions in remedial timeframe.

The Contractor shall determine performance monitoring criteria and identify a control sub-site (current state) for comparison and to evaluate results.

In some instances, achievement of RC may not be feasible with currently available technologies within a reasonable timeframe. If this is the case, Contractor shall develop and evaluate alternatives for site management that will be protective of human and ecological health. If this recommendation is made, it must include the rationale, recommended metric when active remediation can cease, and a strategy for obtaining regulatory buy-in.

1.2.2.3 Decision Document Amendment

Based on the results of the remedy evaluation and recommendation, it may be necessary to amend the DD to augment, modify, and/or replace the existing remedy. If warranted, the Contractor shall update the DD.

1.2.3 Remedial Action – Operation (RA-O) and Reduce Life-cycle Cost (LCC)/Long Term

Management (LTM) and Reduce LCC

Table 1 of the PWS identifies RA-O and Reduce LCC or LTM and Reduce LCC as the PO for selected sites in accordance with the optimization initiative. The goal of these POs is to minimize future AF liability and cost to the greatest degree feasible utilizing remedial optimization techniques. Reduce LCC sites have achieved Remedy in Place (RIP) or RC, have remedies that are effective (source control, risk mitigation, and plume stability) and have the potential for LCC reduction through a variety of optimization actions, for example:

• Reducing sampling frequency

• Reducing system operations

• Reducing number of wells sampled per event

• Reducing number of analytes per sampling event The Contractor shall achieve the following objectives for each Reduce LCC site:

• Maintain compliance with all DDs and Permits (currently in place or to be approved) throughout the POP.

• Deliver a Reduce LCC Plan, as a stand-alone plan or in the PMP, that identifies opportunities to improve cost efficiency of RA-O or LTM activities, and the planned approach for implementation. The Reduce LCC Plan shall:

o Provide a basis for proposed reductions in LCC throughout the POP compared to the cost of status-quo activities (those required to maintain compliance). The planned reduction can be illustrated using a line graph (current, planned, achieved) or verbiage describing the current and planned reductions.

o Estimate reduction of LCC proposed within the POP as well as post-POP.

o Document risk and mitigation strategies for implementing optimization activities to reduce LCC.

• Update or revise site-specific work plans, monitoring plans, and/or DDs, as appropriate.

• Deliver Reduce LCC Reports to document progress in achieving the planned reductions when those reductions are achieved. Reduce LCC Reports may be combined with monitoring reports. Payments for cost avoidance as a result of reductions in required activities are contingent upon regulatory approval.

• Deliver a Reduce LCC Summary and Forecasting Report two years prior to the POP end date. The Reduce LCC Summary and Forecasting Report shall:

o Document optimization activities to date, the cost avoidance during the PoP (paid to the Contractor) as a result of those activities, the projected reduced cost of RA- O or LTM activities for 30 years post POP, and forecast remaining opportunities to Reduce LCC 10 years post POP.

o Provide a realistic schedule to achieve SC or RC after the POP (the Contractor shall identify which PO is the optimal endpoint).

o Allocation of PMP, Basewide QPP, or other basewide costs to specific sites

The Contractor shall maintain and submit an MPS monthly (and with PMP updates, as needed), in electronic format in accordance with the requirements above and include updates to progress (e.g., Percent Complete, Invoice Number). The MPSs shall be submitted electronically to the Contractor’s ORC document repository and in accordance with instructions from the COR. The Contractor shall prepare and maintain the MPS in accordance with the CLIN, Sub-CLIN, IMS, and MPS Guidance.

Milestone payments within a CLIN/Sub-CLIN may be revised in response to changes in the approach for achievement of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN objective without a contract modification so long as the changes do not impact the total value or objective of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN. All changes to the MPS, with the exception of tracking invoicing of completed milestone payments, must be approved by the COR. Milestone payments will not be renegotiated if the Contractor is unable to achieve the milestones, CLIN/Sub-CLIN objectives, and/or POs.

Completion of milestones shall demonstrate payment is appropriate and warranted. COR approval of the documentation supporting the completion of the milestone is required for payment. Where regulatory acceptance/concurrence is required for this documentation, AF and USACE acceptance will occur following regulatory acceptance/concurrence of the documentation. Acceptance/concurrence occurs upon final signature of documents requiring signature by the AF and/or regulators. Final decisions regarding the adequacy of milestone completion resides with the AF and USACE. The COR will take into consideration the appropriate acceptance and/or concurrence of necessary documentation by regulators consistent with the applicable regulatory drivers of this PWS.

For milestones where regulatory acceptance/concurrence is required and regulatory acceptance/concurrence cannot be obtained, the AF and USACE will evaluate the Contractor’s documents to determine if they are legally and technically acceptable to warrant payment for achieving that milestone.

The Contractor is limited to one invoice submitted to USACE per month. The invoice must itemize the milestone payments for each CLIN/Sub-CLIN associated with the invoice. The Contractor will not receive payment until milestones are achieved in accordance with the MPS.

The AF and USACE will not approve partial payments.

The Contractor shall maintain a document repository for all ORC documents. The repository is intended to be a single access point repository for all ORC documentation. It shall be accessible to stakeholders during the life of the ORC. The Contractor shall provide notifications to AFCEC, USACE COR, and Installation POC(s) at the time data is included in the repository. At close-out, all repository documents will be transferred to DVD media and delivered to AFCEC and USACE.

The Contractor shall create and maintain a Master Document List (MDL) that includes all documents, whether the document is a deliverable or not, prepared during the course of this contract. The Contractor shall maintain the project documents for the duration of this contract and transfer custody to the AF within 90 calendar days prior to POP expiration.

4.5 Cost and Status Reporting

The Contractor shall prepare and submit a monthly Contractor’s Progress, Status, and Management Report (CPSMR). The CPSMR shall be used to review and evaluate the overall progress of the project, along with any existing or potential problem areas. The report shall be prepared and submitted in an electronic format to the Contractor’s ORC document repository and/or in accordance with instructions from COR. The CPSMR shall also be used to indicate whether efforts for each site are on target for meeting the PO. The Contractor shall submit an updated IMS each month with the CPSMR.

The Contractor shall document all optimization actions implemented on an annual basis as required in the AFCEC CPSMR Template. The AF defines optimization, under the ORC, as the reduction of contaminant mass and concentrations, reduction in LCC, or any combination of activities prompting acceleration to RC, as a result of remedial implementation the Contractor undertakes, above and beyond what is required to maintain compliance in accordance with an approved decision document. The Contractor is encouraged and required to implement potential optimization opportunities at all sites with POs of OES, RA-O & Reduce LCC, LTM & Reduce LCC, and all other sites where ORC contractor can successfully accelerate the achievement of the PO. This requirement will allow the AF to fulfill DoD requirement to accurately account for accelerated contaminant removal and cost savings (i.e., reduction in liability) as a result of optimization activities.
