AT

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, MD

CONTRACT NUMBER:

12 June 2019

1.0 SCOPE

This requirement is for environmental remediation activities at Joint Base (JB) Andrews. 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 14 Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites and nine (9) Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) sites.

1.1 Introduction

JB Andrews is in Camp Springs, MD, approximately 15 miles southeast of Washington, D.C.

The 4,300-acre main Installation includes the runways, aircraft support facilities and the administrative, housing and recreational facilities. Remote facilities include the Brandywine Receiver site, consisting of 1,640 acres, the eight-acre Brandywine Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) with two additional parcels totaling 3.6 acres that were acquired in 2009 by the government to execute the interim groundwater remedy (SS001) and the Davidsonville Receiver site (SS011), consisting of 863 acres. Land use immediately surrounding the Installation is primarily residential and commercial. The mission at JB Andrews is to provide a secure and robust infrastructure that supports the President, national leadership, mission partner organizations and the well-being of our Joint Team and their families. The facility serves as the home of the Presidential air fleet, including Air Force (AF) One.

Remediation activities at JB Andrews are being conducted pursuant to the 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 partners include the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 3 and Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). The Prince George County Health Department is also involved.

JB Andrews, to include Brandywine DRMO, was placed on the National Priorities List on 10 May 1999. JB Andrews is being administered under a Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) signed by USEPA on 7 September 2011, and Brandywine DRMO is being administered under an FFA signed by USEPA on 25 November 2009.

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 requirements of the project to meet the AF objectives:

• Enclosure 1 – Acronyms and Definitions

• Enclosure 2 – Government Furnished Information

• Enclosure 3 – Government Furnished Property

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

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 LCC. 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/Site Closeout (RC/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.

Requirements for efficient management of this contract include, but are not limited to, the achievement of POs in the Performance Period (PP) per Table 1 of this PWS, and the 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 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:

1. Achieving RC is expected to require substantially longer than 30 years;

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

3. 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 Points of Contact (POCs), 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 Alternate 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 one or more of 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 COCs, as required. The contractor shall evaluate the need for, and collect the following data where appropriate: (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 (9) Comprehensive Risk including the vapor intrusion pathway.

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 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/hydrogeologic 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:

a) Remedy performance in treatment areas

b) Hydrogeology, plume geometry, horizontal and vertical plume stability, and matrix diffusion across site

c) 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 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.

Where necessary to evaluate the proposed technology, the Contractor shall conduct pilot scale technology demonstrations. The Contractor shall identify appropriate remedial technologies and target zones, design/plan, conduct, and evaluate the pilot and/or field scale technology consistent with AF, regulatory, and ITRC guidance. 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 and 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 Decision Document to augment, modify, and/or replace the existing remedy. If warranted, the Contractor shall update the Decision Document.

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 Remedial Action - Operation (RA-O) and Reduce LCC or Long Term Management (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 frequency

• Reducing number of wells sampled per event

• Reducing number of analytes per sampling event

• Reducing land use controls The Contractor shall achieve the following objectives for each Reduce LCC site:

• Maintain compliance with all DDs/RODs and Proposed Plans (currently in place or to be approved) and/or RCRA Permits 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:

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.

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

The Contractor shall prepare and maintain the IMS in accordance with the CLIN, Sub-CLIN, IMS, and MPS Guidance.

4.3 Milestone Payment Schedule (MPS)

The Contractor shall prepare and submit an MPS monthly (along with the IMS) in hardcopy and in electronic format (Microsoft Excel). The MPS will be negotiated during development of the PMP and approved by the COR.

The following are minimum AF requirements for the MPS:

• Presents appropriate milestone payments considered integral and necessary to the achievement of the POs.

• Includes a reasonable number of milestone payments per CLIN/Sub-CLIN based on the scope and anticipated duration to achieve CLIN/Sub-CLIN objective and/or Performance Objective.

• Organized in a WBS aligned with the CLINs/Sub-CLINs in Section B and includes the following columns:

o Installation Name: Identify EESOH-MIS Installation Name per Table 1.

o Site Number: Identify EESOH-MIS Site Number per Table 1 and Site Alias, if applicable.

o CLIN/Sub-CLIN: Identify CLIN and/or Sub-CLIN per Section B of the contract.

Note Sub-CLINs for compliance activities (routine regulatory requirements to comply with binding agreements) are denoted as ####CX and Sub-CLINs for performance activities (remedial advancement or progress towards the PO) are denoted as ####AX.

The final payment milestone(s) within a CLIN/Sub-CLIN demonstrating achievement of the CLIN/Sub-CLIN objective must be a minimum of 20% of the total CLIN/Sub-CLIN value. This may include both the AF and USACE approved and regulator approved versions.

o Completion Date: Document completion date for each milestone payment consistent with the Finish date presented in the IMS.

o Percent Complete: Identify completion status (0% or 100%) of all milestone payments as approved by the COR.

o Invoice Number: Clearly indicate the invoice number associated with the milestone payment as approved by the COR for the purposes of tracking payment.

This information can be completed as invoices are prepared.

• Excludes unacceptable milestone payments representing a “progress” payment or a monthly payment for level of effort expended including:

o Submittal of documents o Site mobilization/demobilization (unless exempted by KO) o Accomplishment of field activities o Submittal of a monthly status o Management and overhead type costs (e.g., program/project management, monthly reporting, etc.)

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.

4.4 ORC Document Repository

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 the 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.

4.6 Meeting and Conference Requirements

4.6.1 Meeting/Teleconference Support

The Contractor shall participate in post-award meetings and Project Management Review (PMR) meetings and teleconferences with the AF as necessary to achieve the POs in this PWS. The Contractor shall coordinate meetings, provide logistical support (e.g., facilities, audio/visual), create and present materials, and lead technical discussions.

The Contractor also shall attend and/or support meetings and teleconferences to discuss technical or regulatory issues and project progress and status with the AF and regulatory agency representatives. Specifically, the Contractor shall host an internal kick-off meeting with the AF and USACE within 15 days from contract award. In keeping with the AF’s commitment to the regulators, the Contractor shall host a kick-off meeting with the AF and regulators within 30 days from contract award. At a minimum, the following topics will be discussed at the regulatory kick-off meeting: review PO and PP for each site; review project schedule for field work and deliverables; confirm agreement on site or document prioritization; confirm mutual understanding of document review times; and confirm any document requirements, templates, or expectations to facilitate the review process.

The Contractor shall also attend and provide support for Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meetings (if needed), Tier 1/Tier II partnering meetings and teleconferences. Bi-weekly teleconferences shall also be required to discuss in detail progress and any technical or management issues. Also, other periodic meetings/teleconferences shall be required, as necessary. Currently regulatory meetings occur quarterly for JB Andrews. However, the frequency of meetings may change based on the status of the environmental restoration program.

The AF will be present for all technical and public meetings with the regulatory agencies;

however, the Contractor shall coordinate the meetings, provide logistical support (e.g., facilities, audio/visual), create and present materials, and lead technical discussions. In order to support JBA and facilitate discussions at the Tier 1 partnering meetings, a facilitator with experience at facilitating Tier 1 and Tier 2 meetings at DoD Installations is required. Continuity with the meeting facilitator is an important aspect of the work at JBA. The Contractor shall provide facilitation support to Tier 1 throughout the full contract POP. Should a change in the facilitator become necessary, the Contractor shall present options to the team for a new facilitator to be approved by the team.

The Tier 1 Partnering Team meets approximately four times per year, typically on a Tuesday and Wednesday, and focuses on technical and regulatory processes to achieve its annual goals.

Approximately two of the quarterly Tier 1 meetings will be held nearby JB Andrews at the Largo Courtyard by Marriott (or other suitable facility). Approximately one of the Tier 1 quarterly meetings per year are held at the MDE offices in Baltimore. Approximately one of the quarterly meetings per year are held at the USEPA Region III office in Philadelphia. The Contractor shall clearly identify themselves as “Contractors” in all situations involving stakeholders. The Contractor shall prepare, and submit for AF and USACE review and concurrence, any presentation materials and agendas for meetings no less than one week (five working days) prior to the event. The Contractor shall prepare minutes for all meetings attended within 14 calendar days following the event. Travel to/from the Installation and to other CONUS locations for such purposes as meeting attendance, briefings, and/or presentations may be required in support of this remedial action. These activities are considered incidental to the effort required and shall not be included for separate milestone payments.

The Contractor shall not contact any regulatory agency without prior notification and approval by the Installation POC(s).

4.6.2 Public Meetings and Hearings

The Contractor shall support all community involvement requirements to meet CERCLA, RCRA, and other regulatory requirements including public meetings, public notices, RAB meetings, Technical Working Group, Community Advisory Group or civic association meetings, public comment periods, and responsiveness summary preparation. Since there currently isn’t an active RAB for JB Andrews, the Contractor shall reassess community interest every 24 months via community surveys to three surrounding areas: JB Andrews, Brandywine, and Davidsonville.

The frequency of meetings may change based on the status of the environmental restoration program.

In coordination with AFCEC and the Installation POC(s), the Contractor shall coordinate and attend teleconferences as necessary with the assigned Public Affairs Officer (PAO) to ensure the PAO is fully aware of all ongoing activities, public outreach status, compliance with applicable regulations, and possible issues that might impact the AF and its public image. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Installation POC(s) before any contact with the PAO.

Examples of types of Public Affairs requirements include the presentation of technical information and logistical support (e.g., advertising, audio-visual, handouts, report(s), recordings, verbatim transcripts, poster boards, slides, synopses, etc.) for events and/or meetings in support of the Government’s position.
