**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 in excavation and disposal remediation actions at Lonestar Army Ammunition Plant (LSAAP) approximately 12 miles west of Texarkana, TX. The

Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the Contractor and its subcontractors performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the primary Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Background

LSAAP was constructed during World War II. Immediately following the completion of initial construction, the

Lone Star Defense Corporation, a subsidiary of the B.F. Goodrich Company, Akron, Ohio, placed the plant into active production. Goodrich operated the plant during World War II and for several months thereafter in conjunction with closeout procedures. Effective November 4, 1945, Lone Star Ordnance Plant was incorporated with Red River

Ordnance Depot, and a few months later the name of the installation was changed to Red River Arsenal. In the early part of 1950, Lone Star was selected for reactivation and Day and Zimmermann, Inc. was selected as the architect and operating engineer. Effective November 1, 1951, the plant was designated Lone Star Ordnance Plant, a Class II industrial activity under the jurisdiction of the Chief of Ordnance. On July 1, 1963, the plant was re-designated

LSAAP. Early in 1969, ammunition production activities began to decline.

LSAAP was a government owned/Contractor operated (GOCO) facility that produced a variety of military munitions. LSAAP occupied over 15,000 acres of land on which the various functions necessary to load, assemble and pack (LAP) ammunition items for the Army were performed and maintained. The plant contained an administration area, thirteen (13) production lines, seven (7) storage areas, maintenance shops, a railroad classification yard, a sewage treatment plant, demolition areas, a high explosives (HE) burning ground, a munitions test area, landfills (active and closed) and a fire-fighting pumping station.

The site referenced in this PWS is a 100 ft x 135ft area that is easily accessed by paved roadways (the excavation site is approximately 50 feet from the roadway) and no overhead or underground utilities remain active or are abandoned in place. While electricity is the only utility available for the contractor’s use, at the contractor’s cost after coordination with the local utility company, from a pole approximately 25’ from the excavation site, a fire hydrant is located approximately 2 blocks away and can be used at no charge for dust control and other contract requirements. The contractor can also 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 remains to be developed for use; therefore, the contractor can expect little to no traffic during field activities.

1.2. 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

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) contamination in the area caused by previous demolition activities. 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.

The overall objective of this task order is to excavate and dispose of TNT contaminated soil to reduce the concentration of TNT to meet the TCEQ Tier 1 Residential Total Soil Combined PCL of 3.3E+01 mg/kg.

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 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.

4.1.6. Contractor Manpower Reporting (CMR) (DELIVERABLE)

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.

http://www.sam.gov/

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 services performed under applicable services contracts during the preceding Government fiscal year (October 1-September 30).

4.2. Task 2 –Optimized UFP-QAPP (DELIVERABLE)

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

(SWPPP), in accordance with PWS Attachment 1 – Deliverables Schedule, to identify all the activities that will take place during the period of performance.

A draft Optimized UFP-QAPP shall be submitted to the USACE COR and the USACE PM for review and comments 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. The draft Optimized UFP-QAPP shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the date of kick off meeting. The Government will provide comments NLT 30 calendar days after submission of the Draft. The Final Optimized UFP-QAPP shall be submitted no later than 14 days from receipt of comments.

4.3. Task 3 – Explosive Safety Submission (DELIVERABLE)

The Contractor shall prepare a Draft Explosive Safety Submission (ESS) to be submitted to the USACE COR and

USACE PM within 60 calendar days of the kickoff meeting. USACE will review and provide comments to the

Draft within 30 calendar days. The Contractor shall address all comments and submit the Final ESS to the USACE

COR and USACE PM within 14 calendar days of receipt of comments. Once the Final ESS is approved by USACE, it will then be submitted to the DoD Explosive Safety Board (DDESB) for approval. The Contractor shall address any comments based on the DDESB review NLT 14 calendar days from receipt of comments.

Note: For purposes of this Example Project, assume no comments are received from USATCES and

DDESB on the Final ESS.

4.4. Task 4 – Excavation and Disposal (DELIVERABLE)

The Contractor shall perform excavation and disposal at the TNT contaminated site location in accordance with the proposed plan and decision document to remove 3,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil; for the purposes of this

Example Project, assume the excavation site dimension are approximately 100ft x 135ft x 6ft. The boundaries of the excavation site have been clearly marked; therefore, there are no survey requirements. The groundwater level is below the bottom of the excavation area.

The excavated soil shall be disposed of at a permitted facility authorized to handle the contaminated soil. 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. For purposes of this project, the excavated contaminated soil shall be considered less than 10% contamination and therefore considered non-hazardous waste. No municipal solid waste (MSW) or any other contaminants are present at the site. The nearest licensed landfill is the New Boston Landfill, estimated to be 8 miles north of west of the site along U.S.

Highway 82, and approximately 12 miles west of Texarkana.

Note: For the purposes of this example, assume that the excavation site is grass covered with no trees, shrubs, utilities or other infrastructure. The boundaries of the excavation site have been clearly marked;

therefore, there are no survey requirements. The Contractor can assume the concentration of TNT is below

10% and can be disposed of at a landfill accepting non-hazardous waste. The Contractor can assume the landfill will accept the soil for use as top cover.

4.5. Task 5 – Sampling

The Contractor shall perform confirmatory sampling at the excavated site to ensure no residual contamination remains. Sampling shall occur prior to backfilling. A sampling report shall be prepared and submitted to the

USACE COR and USACE PM within 14 days after completion of the laboratory validation.

Note: For purposes of this Example Project, assume soil sampling resulted in no need for further excavation.

4.6. Task 6 – Backfill

The Contractor shall backfill the excavated area only with clean backfill soil that is available, at no cost to the contractor, within ¼ mile of the site. The backfill shall be placed in lifts no greater than 8” and shall be compacted to 95% Proctor (in accordance with ASTM D698) and the site graded to match the original condition. The upper compacted layer may be compacted to less than 95%, if necessary, to achieve the required re-vegetation rate identified in Task 6. All Proctor tests shall be in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials

(ASTM) guidelines D698. The results of the compaction test shall be submitted to the USACE COR and the

USACE PM within 7 days of the completion of the test. This information will also be included in the final report.

The contractor shall invoice only for the actual quantity removed, based on a survey of the completed open excavation(s). The contractor shall provide evidence that the soil was disposed of at a landfill licensed to accept the contaminated soil. The contractor shall assume the soil is non-hazardous.

Note: For purposes of this Example Project, assume known clean soils exist within ¼ mile of the project and is suitable for re-vegetation purposes. Assume no sampling is required for borrow soils. The excavated waste is considered to be less than 10% TNT and therefore considered non-hazardous waste.
