PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PART 1

General Information

1 General This is a non-personal services contract to provide specialized environmental work for the Hill Air Force Base (AFB) cultural resources program. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

The tasks are being conducted in order to fulfill requirements outlined in the Hill AFB Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan (ICRMP) and under the authority of Section 110 (54 U.S.C. 306102) of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended.

Tasks shall be performed in compliance with all applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements and in collaboration with the Hill AFB Cultural Resources Manager (CRM), Program Managers, AFCEC Cultural Resources Media Manager (CRMM), and any other relevant party. During completion of all tasks, the Contractor shall comply with the policies and standards pertaining to architectural and archaeological surveys produced by the Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and available at: SHPO Compliance | Utah Division of State History.

Successful completion of all tasks may require coordination/cooperation with multiple offices and agencies, including the Hill AFB 75th Civil Engineer Group (CEG), Hill AFB real property office, other AF real property offices, AFCEC, the Hill AFB Historian, the Air Force Historical Research Agency, the U.S. Air Force History Office, and the Utah SHPO.

In accordance with FAR 7.503€, projects provided by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) for execution by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Sacramento District do not include any functions to be performed that are inherently governmental (OMB General Memorandum 11-117). This determination is made with the assessment that places emphasis on the degree to which conditions and facts restrict the discretionary authority, decision-making responsibility, or accountability of the U.S. Government officials using contractor services or work products.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction

The Contractor shall provide Hill AFB all personnel, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, supervision, services, labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform the following tasks: an architectural survey of forty-eight (48) facilities located within the Project Area (Hill AFB proper, Utah Test and Training Range [UTTR], and Goshute Microwave Relay Annex) and evaluation for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (Technical Exhibits 1 and 2); an archaeological survey of five thousand (5,000) acres within the Project Area (UTTR) and NRHP evaluations on any archaeological sites identified within the Project Area (Technical Exhibit 3).

The Contractor shall perform services to the standards, quantities, and schedules described in this contract, and in accordance with general standards identified in Part 5, Specific Tasks. This contract may be modified as needed in response to authorizing legislation.

1.2 Background

1.2.1 Hill AFB

Hill AFB is an Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) base located in Northern Utah. It is the AF’s second largest base by population and size, and is home to many operational and support missions; its host organization is the 75th Air Base Wing (ABW).

Hill AFB’s vision is for professional and highly disciplined Airmen to achieve Art of the Possible results. Its mission is to provide mission-ready Airmen and equipment, outstanding support to Team Hill, and supreme care to its people, with the motto, “Count on us!”

The 75th ABW is responsible for the base operating support of all units at Hill AFB. These units include the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (OO-ALC), Life Cycle Management Center, Nuclear Weapons Center, the 388th and 419th Total Force Fighter Wings, and more than 50+ other associate units totaling over 20,000 personnel. The 75th ABW is responsible for mission support, civil engineering, medical, airfield operations, command post, explosive ordnance disposal, public affairs, financial management, and ground operations for the installation and 75 Geographically Separated Units (GSU) throughout Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming, including the 1,500 square mile UTTR. The Installation Commander, 75 ABW/CC, has overall responsibility for proper management of cultural resources on Hill AFB-managed properties. The 75th CEG provides the following support: infrastructure and facilities, environmental, fire protection, disaster preparedness, housing management, explosive ordnance removal, and energy management. The Hill AFB Cultural Resources Management Program is part of the Environmental Management Branch of the 75th CEG.

The Cultural Resources Program at Hill AFB protects our cultural heritage for future generations through the identification, evaluation, and preservation of cultural resources while simultaneously providing mission critical support to the AF and the Department of Defense (DoD). The program is responsible for assuring installation compliance with the NHPA, the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and other national, state, and local cultural resource laws and regulations.

1.2.2 UTTR

The UTTR is a DoD Major Range and Test Facility Base and provides an ideal location for operational test and evaluation for weapons requiring a large safety footprint. The UTTR is also the only location capable of supporting overland testing of cruise missiles. The UTTR is used in a training capacity for air-to-air-combat, air-to-ground inert and live practice bombing and gunnery training by DoD aircrews. The UTTR provides a vast area of realistic terrain for world-class test and training scenarios to ensure the war fighter is prepared to deploy at a moments’ notice to win any conflict with decisive air and space power.

As a military installation, the UTTR has a long history of use beginning in 1940 when Congress appropriated funds for the acquisition of land for bombing and gunnery ranges. During WWII and the Cold War, the area that is now the UTTR was a test range for bombers and fighters. Today the UTTR continues to operate primarily as a world class test range, while also serving as a great training range which supports AF, Army, Navy, and Marine units as well as a host of foreign countries.

The majority of the UTTR lies within the Great Salt Lake Desert of the Basin and Range physiographic province.

The UTTR is characterized by variable desert terrain that includes undulating sand dunes, mountains rising abruptly from the desert floor, and rolling hills building up to mountain ranges. Except for a few small mountain ranges, the land is generally quite flat, as it is comprised of lacustrine deposits of the Pleistocene-aged Lake Bonneville.

Elevations in the valley floors range between 4,200 and 4,300 feet, while mountain elevations can exceed 6,000 feet.

Major periods and events in the non-native history of Utah included early exploration and immigration, fur trapping, westward migration and subsequent displacement of American Indian populations, the Gold Rush, expansion of the railroads, the Great Depression, and the increasingly prominent military presence. Within the theme of westward migration is the important and unique history of the Mormon settlement of Utah.

People have been a part of the Great Salt Lake Desert landscape and the UTTR for more than 13,000 calendar years.

Archaeologists working in the eastern Great Basin divide the prehistoric record into distinct cultural eras that emphasize similarities in adaptive strategies documented across western North America. Great Basin peoples have lived primarily as mobile hunter-gatherers throughout prehistory, adapting through time to changing environmental conditions and population densities. On the UTTR, the archaeology of the earliest Great Basin inhabitants dominates with the identification of over 1,000 Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) Projectile Points representing the Paleoindian Period.

1.3 Objectives

The overall objective of the tasks detailed in this PWS is to provide support to Hill AFB for compliance with Section 110 (54 U.S.C. 306102) of the NHPA, as amended, and all applicable federal, state, and local statues and regulations; AF and DoD instructions, manuals, handbooks, regulations, guidance, and policy letters; Executive Orders (EOs); programmatic goals and initiatives; and industry standards and codes.
