(3) For long-term contracts--

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(c) If the Contractor represented that it was any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3) prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size and socioeconomic status according to paragraph (f) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (h) of this clause, when the Contracting Officer explicitly requires it for an order issued under a multiple-award contract.

(d) The Contractor shall rerepresent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this rerepresentation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s) assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code(s) can be found at https://www.sba.gov/document/support--table-size-standards.

(e) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing an end item that it does not manufacture, process, or produce itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees if the acquisition--

The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, or with its offer for an order (see paragraph (c) of this clause), that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(g) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the

Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (f) or (h) of this clause.

**Note to Offerors: This is an Example Project, with no existing documentation (i.e. RI/FS, Decision Document, site figures, site address, etc.). This Example Project will not be awarded. Offerors will develop a technical approach and proposed price based on Section L requirements and the information contained therein.

1.0. INTRODUCTION

This an Example Project for a non-personal services contract to provide excavation and disposal remediation actions at the former Fuel Storage Area site in College Station, Brazos County, Texas. College Station, Texas is located 75 miles northwest of Houston, Tx on State Hwy 6. The site is located on the southwest edge of College Station, on the southeast side of FM Road 60. The project site is located on the Easterwood Field Municipal Airport. Easterwood

Field is an active 1,565-acre active municipal airport. The former Fuel Storage project site is in an undeveloped, open area located outside of the airport security fence and outside the approach line of the runways.

As a non-personal services contract, the Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the Offeror or its’ sub-contractors.

1.1. Background

The Former Fuel Storage (FFS) area is located at a formerly used defense (FUDS) site in College Station, Texas.

This parcel of land is within the FUDS site and has been transferred to the city of College Station along with former runways and other former structures. The former FFS area was an aviation fueling station and fuel storage area for small aircraft used in training flights. Fueling was active between 1943 through 1945. All above ground fuel tanks, pumps and ancillary piping were removed in 1946 and prior to transfer of the adjacent property to the City of

College Station. The area is located outside of the security fence and is level and grassy with no trees or shrubs since the airport maintains the area with regular mowing. The FFS area is outside the runway approach lines.

Groundwater at the FFS area was determined to be 15-ft bgs. The site is easily accessed from paved roadways (the excavation site is approximately 300 feet from the roadway (main road existing terminal parking area) and no overhead or underground utilities remain active or abandoned in place. A utility pole is located approximately 200-ft from the excavation site and available for use after coordination with the local utility company. The cost of any hook-up and electrical service is the contractor’s responsibility. A fire hydrant is located approximately 200 feet away and can be used at no charge for dust control and other contract requirements. The contractor can utilize the area near the power pole as their laydown area during field activities but must provide their own security for all equipment. The excavation site area is undeveloped; therefore, the contractor can expect no traffic during field activities. Site access from the highway is via the main paved, one-way entrance to the airport. Similar, the exit is also a paved, one-way road. The FFS area can be accessed using a paved crossover without entering the airport parking or terminal area. Traffic on the airport access roads will be at a minimum except for periods of sporadic flight arrival and departures.

1.2. Performance Objectives

The contractor is ultimately responsible for meeting all performance objectives within the task order’s performance period specified in this PWS. Performance Objectives and Standards are presented in Table 1 below:

2.0. SCOPE

A site specific Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Assessment (RI/FS) was conducted in 2016, which identified petroleum soil (but no groundwater) contamination in the area. A Feasibility Study was developed with various alternatives for remediation of this site. Based on this Feasibility Study, Excavation and Disposal was selected as the primary remediation alternative in the proposed plan and decision document. Additionally, the site is considered to be Industrial/Commercial, but Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will request sample results be compared to residential standards for potential reuse considerations. The area is slated for future development including structures and therefore, indoor vapor intrusion is considered a potential exposure pathway. Closure to unlimited use and unrestricted closure (UU/UE) is not required. Ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylene are the contaminants of concern (COC).

The overall objective of this task order is to achieve site closure.

The contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, and any other items or services necessary to perform the environmental remediation services to meet the performance objectives of this PWS in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and relevant Department of Defense (DoD), Army and USACE policies for the duration of the contract.

3.0. PROJECT MILESTONES

Performance Milestones are identified in Table 2 – Performance Milestones. The Contractor shall propose pricing for the performance milestones utilizing Attachment L-2, Milestone Payment Schedule with Cost. (NOTE: The

Excel version of Attachment L-2 provided with the RFP shall be submitted with the Offeror’s Volume II, Factor 5 6.) The Contractor must utilize Attachment L-1, Milestone Payment Schedule without Cost to identify their anticipated scheduled start and completion dates for each milestone, based upon their overall project schedule.

The Contractor may NOT propose interim milestones to the Performance Milestones within Table 2. As noted in Section 10, payments will be tied to the successful completion of a milestone, or an interim milestone, approved by the Contracting Officer, through the COR.

In accordance with FAR 4.1703, Section 743(a)(3) of Division C of Public Law 111-117, Office of Federal

Procurement Policy (OFPP) and the Revised Department of Defense Contractor Manpower Reporting Initiative, the contractor shall report required information for Services Contracts meeting specific thresholds and that are within four (4) prescribed Product Service Codes (PSCs). Contractors must log into their SAM profile accounts at www.SAM.gov to perform the contract reporting (also reference the SAM Quick Start Guide for Service Contract

Reporting).

SAM receives contract information from FPDS-NG and will enable reporting for entities with contracts that meet the required reporting thresholds and will auto-populate much of the required information for reporting. After logging into the SAM account, the Contractor will select ‘Entity Registration’ and then select ‘Service Contract

Reporting’. SAM will display the entities which have service contracts and meet the reporting criteria. Next, select

‘View by Entity’ to see the service contracts for each entity, then select ‘Add’ for the service contract against which a Service Contract Report is to be created. The Contractor will then be taken automatically to the Complete Service

Contract Report page. SAM automatically retrieves and displays the contract information.

The required information to be entered is:

a. Total Amount Invoiced: Total dollar amount invoiced for services performed during the previous

Government fiscal year under the contract (this amount should include the prime and any subcontract amount).

b. Prime Contractor Hours Expended: Prime Contractor direct labor hours expended on the services performed during the previous Government fiscal year. The amount you enter is automatically divided by

2,080 to calculate a Full Time Employee (FTE) equivalent, displayed under the Prime Contractor Hours

Expended as a Prime Contractor FTEs.

c. Tier 1 Subcontractor Information: Report any required Tier 1 subcontractor information by selecting the

‘Add Tier 1 Subcontract Information’ button.

Click ‘Submit’ once the report is completed. This saves the report and returns the user to the ‘Select Service

Contract’ page where another report can be created, or an existing report can be edited.

Any previously completed report can be edited as frequently as necessary until the end of the reporting period by selecting ‘View/Edit’ for the selected report.

Reporting must be completed annually by October 31 for each service performed under applicable services contracts during the preceding Government fiscal year (October 1-September 30).

4.2. Task 2 –Optimized UFP-QAPP

The Contractor shall prepare a draft and final Optimized UFP-QAPP and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

A draft Optimized UFP-QAPP shall be submitted to the USACE COR and the USACE PM for review and comment and the final Optimized UFP-QAPP shall be prepared based upon the resolution of the submitted comments and then submitted to the USACE COR and the USACE PM. Once final approval is given from the USACE COR for the

Optimized UFP-QAPP, the USACE shall submit it to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for review (assume 30-days for TCEQ review/approval). The draft Optimized UFP-QAPP shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the date of kick off meeting and the final Optimized UFP-QAPP shall be submitted no later than

14 days from receipt of comments.

The contractor shall be responsible for quality control and data validation. QAPP worksheets shall be optimized using FUDSCHEM and renumbered for appropriate inclusion into the AGC UFP-QAPP. The project specific automated data review (ADR) library (eQAPP) shall be submitted for review at the same time as the AGC UFP-

QAPP to allow the eQAPP upload into FUDSCHEM during the planning stages of the project. For all analytical services procured through the Contractor’s laboratory or through a subcontracted laboratory under this PWS, the http://www.sam.gov/ laboratory shall report data using the Staged Electronic Data Deliverables (SEDD) format in accordance with the most recently published version. The minimum requirement for the laboratory is the delivery of a SEDD Stage 2a deliverable which includes results and method quality control data and all laboratory analysis/reports organized and submitted as a full data package in Adobe Acrobat format to include original completed chain-of-custody (COC).

Validate data in FUDSChem and upload items related to the submittals above to expedite review, i.e., data validation reports, AGC UFP-QAPP, chains of custody, and reports. FUDSChem Training and a User's Manual are available at https://fudschem.com.

Note: For purposes of this Example Project, assume TCEQ approval with no comments is received for the

Final RACR and the SWPPP.

4.3. Task 3 – Excavation and Disposal

The Contractor shall perform excavation and disposal at the Former Fuel Storage site in accordance with the proposed plan and decision document to remove 3,900 cubic yards of contaminated soil; for the purposes of this

Example Project, assume the excavation site dimension are approximately 300 ft x 50 ft x 7 ft. The boundaries of the excavation site have been clearly marked; therefore, there are no survey requirements except for determining actual excavated volume (bank cubic yards).

The excavated soil shall be disposed of at a permitted facility authorized to handle the contaminated soil. The nearest licensed landfill is east of College Station, on State Hwy 30, approximately 17 miles from the site. The

Contractor will be required to submit to the USACE COR and USACE PM a copy of all associated waste manifests as well as a copy of all landfill receipts as evidence of proper soil disposal. The excavated contaminated soil shall be considered non-hazardous, Class 2 waste.
