Amendment #0001 2 February 2016

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to perform a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Closure, Corrective Action (including removal) environmental remediation activities at Fort Wingate Depot Activity (FWDA) located in McKinley County, New Mexico. 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.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the scope of a full range of performance based environmental remediation activities to achieve significant milestones towards the goal of completing environmental remediation of FWDA and the eventual return of the property to the Navajo and Zuni peoples. The work to be performed under this PWS will be executed as a performance-based, firm fixed-price Type “C” Contract. The contractor is ultimately responsible for meeting all performance objectives within the contract Period of Performance (PoP). Performance Objectives and Standards are presented in Table 1 below. Reference the map under Attachment 1 for the location of designated Areas, Management Units, Areas of Concern, etc.

2. Introduction: The FWDA is located in McKinley County, New Mexico, approximately eight miles east of Gallup, NM. The inactive Depot currently occupies approximately 15,277 acres. The FWDA was originally established by the U.S. Army in 1862 as a frontier outpost. In 1918, the Depot’s mission changed from tribal issues to support activities for the nation’s involvement in World War I. Beginning in 1940, FWDA was charged primarily with receiving, storage and shipping explosives and military munitions to Allied Forces, as well as disassembly and disposing of unserviceable or obsolete explosives and military munitions. In January 1993, the active mission of the FWDA was curtailed and the installation closed as a result of the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990 (BRAC). In 2005, environmental activities began under Permit EPA ID No. NM 6213820974 (FWDA RCRA Permit) which was finalized in December 2005. In 2014, Permit NM 6213820974 was modified to allow for operation of the Corrective Actions Management Unit (CAMU) located in Parcel 3. The Permit will be renewed in the fourth quarter 2015/third quarter 2016 thus all references are to the existing Permit. Once the government receives a copy of the new Permit, it will be distributed to the offer. The contractor shall comply with the new Permit once it has been issued. The government does not anticipate the new Permit will change project requirements. FWDA is currently undergoing final environmental characterization and restoration activities prior to the property’s ultimate transfer and reuse outside the Department of Defense. The government’s overall and end state objective of this contract is to achieve no further action status for all project areas within Parcel 3. In conjunction with the government’s end state objective;

ALL PARCEL 3 RELATED FIELD WORK must be completed on or before September 30, 2022 or earlier. All references to Closure in this contract refers to Closure completed without controls as defined in the Permit. Permit Section III does state that the Permittee may seek a determination from NMED that removal or decontamination of soils is not practicable using the procedures in Permit Attachment 7, Section 7.7.2. However the government (and contractor) will (shall) not seek such a determination. The contractor is responsible for attaining the performance standards and cleanup levels for this contract. The remaining tasks are summarized below. All documents will be reviewed by the Army prior to submission to the Navajo Nation, Pueblo of Zuni, NMED and EPA.

The contractor is not responsible for interim groundwater monitoring, groundwater monitoring in Section V of the Permit or Groundwater Investigation or Corrective Action under Section VI. Closure requirements under this contract shall not involve groundwater.

Multiple plans are required under this contract in order to meet all NMED requirements under the RCRA Permit and the BRAC Office’s requirement for accelerated closure and corrective action at Parcel 3 prior to September 30, 2022.

Removal of the Hazardous Waste Management Unit (HWMU) per the RCRA Permit and NMED approved HWMU Removal Work Plan dated December 2012 to continue the removal work initiated by others. The contractor shall also implement the requirements specified in the NMED approval WITH MODIFICATIONS (letter dated January 24, 2013) which approved the work plan. Removal of the HWMU involves excavation, sifting, stockpiling, testing, and disposal of massive amounts of debris, soil, munitions, and improved conventional munitions. Clean soil (as determined by testing) shall be placed back in the excavation in areas with clean excavation bottoms. This task will include the construction, operation, and maintenance of sifting plant(s) to process all excavated material, the disposal of MEC, and inspection, certification, explosive safety characterization and recycling of all material potentially presenting an explosive hazard (MPPEH) and range related debris (RRD) removed. Contractor shall use and amend the current approved HWMU Removal work plan (2012). Amendment(s) will not change NMED specifications such as size of material to be removed, sampling requirements, soil stockpile size, Thermal Flashing Unit (TFU) procedures, etc. Contractor will submit work plan amendments to be performed in parallel with mobilization efforts and implementation of the NMED approved HWMU Work Plan. Note: NMED approved HWMU Removal Work Plan dated December 2012 is NOT the HWMU Closure Plan, but was prepared in an effort to initiate work quickly. This effort accomplishes a significant portion of the Closure requirements of section III of the Permit, but is not the official closure of the HWMU.

Prepare and implement the RCRA HWMU Closure Plan for the HWMU per the Permit. Most of the effort for the RCRA Closure is accomplished in the above task, however the Closure Plan shall cover all the remaining efforts required in Permit Section III not addressed in the above referenced work plan. The Closure Plan shall address all contaminated soil not covered in the existing HWMU work plan, namely soils above cleanup levels in the base of the excavation as mentioned in the HWMU work plan. The Closure Plan shall also address all contaminated soil adjacent to but beyond the 32 acre HWMU boundary. The Closure Plan shall include areas adjacent to the HWMU as mentioned in Permit Section III.B. Note: Area of Concern (AOC) 92 MEC Removal is being addressed by others. Soil removal at AOC 92 shall not be addressed under the HWMU Closure Plan, but under the Corrective Action under Task 9. The NMED approved work plan shall be referenced in the Closure Plan. The contractor shall perform all Permit modifications, documents, public notices, and public meetings required for the Closure of the HWMU. The government will lead coordination of all Permit modifications and stakeholder interactions and the contractor shall provide all technical, support personnel, documenting, research, and provide and pay for all meeting venues and notices. Implementation of the Closure Plan shall include all excavation, permitting (i.e. 401/404, SWPPP), disposal, testing, backfilling, maintaining the arroyo, wetlands mitigation if required, grading, and seeding/re-vegetation.

Prepare a HWMU Closure Report in accordance with the Permit. The contractor shall perform all Permit modifications, documents, public notices, and public meetings required for the Closure of the HWMU and removal of the HWMU from the Permit. The government will lead coordination of all Permit modifications and stakeholder interactions and the contractor shall provide all technical, support personnel, documenting, research, and provide and pay for all meeting venues and notices.

The contractor shall coordinate with the FWDA BRAC Onsite Manager to locate utilities and provide utility maps. Before any excavation occurs, the Contractor shall have approval from the BRAC Onsite Manager, or his designee, and signed approval clearance documentation.

3.8 Cultural Resources: The Army, Navajo Nation, Pueblo of Zuni and the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) have entered into a “Programmatic Agreement” (PA) which addresses FWDA’s Section 106 Cultural requirements. Prior to initiating soil removal outside the HWMU boundary the Army will coordinate with the Tribes and SHPO as done in the past. See cultural files in bidder’s information. Avoidance of cultural sites is the first choice for all Permit actions. NMED understands the Tribal concerns for cultural sites and will work with the Army on locations of sampling and corrective actions under the FWDA RCRA Permit if needed.

The Contractor shall not disturb any suspected cultural resource, artifact, pottery shard, or ant hill (ant hills have cultural significance to the Pueblo Zuni) unless specifically given permission by the USACE Cultural POC. If cultural resources are encountered during the project, the Contractor shall immediately notify their USACE on site representative and follow the cultural resource management plan reporting protocols. USACE will notify the Army, and the Army will immediately notify the Tribal cultural points of contact for consultation per section 1.8 of the PA.

3.9 Government Furnished Equipment (GFE): USACE will (based on availability) issue a FWDA radio and work area keys to the Contractor’s field leader for use while on FWDA to communicate with Army and USACE personnel only. The Contractor shall supply their own internal communications capability. The Contractor shall return the government radio and keys to FWDA or Corps staff before demobilizing. The Contractor shall repair/ replace any GFE if it becomes damaged or broken while in the Contractor’s possession.

3.10 Cleanup Levels. Cleanup levels for soil shall be based on the lower of the human health, groundwater protection standard, and ecological risk based cleanup levels IAW Risk Assessment Guidance for Site Investigations and Remediation, current version. These cleanup levels are presently undergoing revisions which will not be completed until after proposals are submitted to the government. The contract will be modified to incorporate the new cleanup levels. Cleanup levels have been developed based on cleanup criteria as described in Attachment 7 of the FWDA RCRA permit.

The exception to the above is the screening level for arsenic. A site-specific concentration for arsenic shall be applied per directions described in NMED’s December 2013 arsenic assessment for arsenic levels. Current NMED FWDA cleanup levels shall be included in all tables in the Work Plan.

NMED has combined its remedial action guidance into a single document titled Risk Assessment Guidance for Site Investigations and Remediation which shall be used by the contractor.

Consistent with NMED risk assessment guidance, potential risks from individual contaminants of potential concern (COPCs) will be evaluated on a sample-by-sample basis by comparing the concentrations of detected compounds to the values provided in the most recent version of the guidance. Cumulative (additive) risks shall also be evaluated per NMED guidance and shall be evaluated by summing the risk ratios of detected compounds in a sample and comparing the sums to the appropriate target level as determined in the guidance. Risk ratios for carcinogenic compounds will be summed separately from the risk ratios of non-carcinogenic compounds. The Army will provide documents with additional guidance, example data table formats, and cumulative risk tables.

3.11 Material Documented as Safe (MDAS). Contractor shall inspect all MDAS and all MDAS shall be thermally flashed IAW HWMU Removal Work Plan 2013. The contractor shall maintain all MDAS under a chain-of-custody as described in EM 385-1-97 and shall certify and dispose of all MDAS IAW DoDI 4140.62, EM 385-1-97 and EM 200-1-15. Contractors shall use a qualified receiver IAW DoDI 4140.62 recycler that uses smelting as part of their recycling process. It is the contractor’s responsibility to obtain a qualified recycler. MDAS being transported to the recycler will be accompanied by a DD Form 1348-1A completed as described in EM 385-1-97 and a chain of custody form. Contractors shall be required to provide a letter of proof verifying that the MDAS was smelted along with a date and time. All documents will be given to the FWDA document repository and USACE PM and OESS for record keeping and incorporated into the Final Report as an attachment.

3.12 Document Versions. The Work Plan(s)/Report(s) shall be prepared in accordance with this PWS, and the FWDA RCRA Permit in Army Draft and Final versions. All required deliverables are listed under TABLE 2 – PERFORMANCE MILESTONES. A UFP-QAPP shall be prepared as an appendix to the Work Plan(s) under this PWS which contains a description of all requirements and procedures for analysis of soil, water, and investigative-derived waste (IDW), and will specify the DoD Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) accredited laboratory that will conduct the analysis. The UFP-QAPP will include requirements for quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). The UFP-QAPP will also include analytical methods, holding times, laboratory preparation methods and techniques, and quantitation limits for each parameter to be analyzed for the project such that data meet the performance standards for human health or ecological risk assessment, whichever is lower (Section 3.4). The UFP-QAPP should follow the Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project Plans, Final, Version 1, March 2005 using the optimized UFP-QAPP worksheets (or the most recently published version) and the most recent version of the DoD QSM.

The Work Plan(s)/UFP-QAPP shall specify that laboratory services be provided by laboratories that are DoD ELAP accredited for the methods required under this PWS. In addition to DoD ELAP accreditation, the laboratory shall hold current accreditation for all appropriate fields-of-testing in the State of New Mexico. Proof of current accreditation / certification for the applicable fields-of-testing is required prior to the laboratory acceptance of any samples for the project. The contractor will assume a 30-day turn-around-time for all analytical data. If there is the potential for limited analytical capability of performing all the requested analyses, subcontracting to another certified laboratory is permitted. Before performing environmental testing for USACE, the laboratory shall have access to the approved UFP-QAPP.

All documents shall meet the latest version of the FWDA Document Format Guidelines, a copy of which will be provided to the contractor. If a discrepancy exists between the latest version of the FWDA Document Format Guidelines and NMED requests, then NMED requests supersede the guidelines. Documents shall be written from the perspective of the Army writing to the stakeholders and not the Contractor writing to the Army. The Permit is the critical guidance under this project. Contractors shall abide by the most recent RCRA Permit and applicable Sections.

The Final versions will be reviewed concurrently by both the Pueblo of Zuni and the Navajo Nation representatives, and New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED). Based on the comments and direction from the COR, the Contractor shall prepare a Revised Final Work Plan and any subsequent versions. The Tribes have 60 calendar days review period for work plans and 90 calendar days for reports. NMED typically has much longer review times for work plans and reports. Please note that the Army is unable to commit to review times for another Agency.

However, historical NMED Regulatory review times have ranged from 90 calendar days for low complexity documents and 120 – 180 calendar days for higher complexity documents. Therefore, contractors should review available information and form their own independent conclusions as to the time necessary, as well as risks and appropriate mitigation and contingency measures, to achieve the proposed performance and schedule objectives with their technical approach. Each version of the documents will be reviewed and accepted by the Army prior to proceeding to the next version. The Contractor shall prepare written responses to address comments received from the Army reviewers. The Army will have up to 30 day review of each version. Once accepted/approved, the Contractor shall make changes and submit the corrected version of the documents. The Final version requires NMED approval. The format of the document(s) shall follow the FWDA Document Format Guidance (including Section 508 compliance) that will be provided to the contractor as part of the GFI package prior to bidding. Section 508 compliance is only required for Final documents. The Draft and Final versions of the Work Plan(s)/Report(s) shall include a page with a Permittee Signature Block to comply with permit section I.I.9.g.

3.13 Supplies, Deliveries, and Office: The Contractor shall supply their own office space, restrooms, tap water, waste disposal from office, electricity (power lines are only located in the admin area), drinking water, storage, telephone, fax, and internet communication on post.

There are no utilities in Parcel 3. The contractor shall coordinate with Army personnel in locating storage and trailer locations. A siting plan consisting of map showing approximate location of temporary office(s), photographs or renderings of all sides of the proposed office(s) and a floor-plan with square footage along with a short narrative describing purpose of temporary office space hall be provided 60 calendar days prior to proposed delivery of office unit(s). Contractor’s siting plan will be submitted by the COR to Garrison Command, White Sands Missile Range, for acceptance.
