Revision 1 (15 June 2018) Summary of changes (Changes are in Red, strikethrough and/or underlined):

2.4 Site Specific Information: Revisions of paragraphs 2.4.1 Site Location and 2.4.2 Site History to provide additional information on vegetation, terrain, and munitions anticipated.

4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: Revision of paragraph 4.2, addition of paragraphs 4.3 Backfilling Excavations, 4.4 MEC Accountability, 4.5 Disposal/Disposition of MPPEH, and 4.6 Vegetation Removal, renumbering of subsequent paragraphs.

Price Spreadsheet: Revision of quantities on two tasks.

1.0 PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE. The objective of this project is to transfer accountability of Government Property (GP) and long term leased equipment inventories, and establish support (i.e., storage, maintenance, and transportation) and initial requisite contract documents (i.e., Corporate Unified Federal Policy Quality Assurance Project Plan and Corporate Accident Prevention Plan) so as to facilitate subsequent Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) services and Other Munitions Related Services (OMRS) be provided by the Contractor for specified projects under the current and subsequent task orders. In addition, this project is to provide all MMRP necessary to perform tree and other vegetation removal and control activities in designated Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) contaminated areas of Camp Swampy, Virginia.

2.0 INTRODUCTION.

2.1 Future Military Munitions Response Program services and Other Munitions Related Services to be performed by the Contractor are delineated in Section 1.0 of the base contract.

2.2 Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) are a safety hazard and may constitute imminent and substantial danger to site personnel. All MEC and MPPEH found to contain an explosive hazard after inspection shall be destroyed on site.

Applicable provisions of Chapter 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.120 and Section C, Paragraph 2.2 of the Base Contract (Applicable Laws and Regulations) apply to work of this task order. All activities involving work in areas potentially containing MEC and MPPEH hazards shall be conducted in full compliance with United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), United States Army Engineering and Support Center Huntsville (CEHNC), Department of the Army (DA), state and local requirements regarding personnel, equipment and procedures, and Department of Defense (DOD) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and safety regulations.

2.3 Work Hours and Workweek. Consistent with Draft EP 1110-1-18, 3 April 2006, Chapter 15-3, Work Standards, the Contractor shall propose anticipated daily work hours. The Contractor shall consider factors such as prevailing weather and seasonal variations, available daylight, site conditions, amount and type of munitions expected, as well as project completion requirements when proposing project daily work hours and workweek schedules. Draft EP 1110-1-18, 3 April 2006, can be found at:

https://eko.usace.army.mil/usacecop/environmental/subcops/htrw/munitions_response/?syspage=Documents&id=262068.

Due to the inherent risk associated with MEC operations, the maximum proposed number of hours that the Contracting Officer may approve will be that MEC personnel shall be limited to a 60 hour workweek consisting of a maximum of 48-hours of MEC field operations. No single workday shall exceed ten (10) hours (total work hours). Twenty-four (24) hours must separate each workweek; however, work schedules of individual teams may be staggered to continue work on a daily basis if needed. These work restrictions apply only to MEC personnel performing digging or demolition work.

2.4 Site Specific Information. In addition to preparing programmatic documents to support the overall contract, the Contractor shall provide MMRP services as indicated in Section 3.0 for Camp Swampy:

The Contractor shall mobilize and commence field work within 14 calendar days of issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP) for this task. Unless specified otherwise, all areas are suspected to be MEC contaminated. Due to the potential MEC hazards associated with these areas, the use of unmanned robotic technologies to cut trees and vegetation and to apply herbicide is highly encouraged.

Any hand or manual clearances required (e.g., for excessively soft or steep areas) shall be conducted with due consideration for personnel safety working in a potentially MEC contaminated area, as applicable. Ground disturbance within wetlands areas is to be minimized to the greatest extent practical so as not to create erosion problems within these areas. Equipment selection and employment of such in these areas should take into consideration potential for ground disturbance in potentially wet and/or soft ground surfaces. Hand clearances (with due safety considerations for personnel) may be required in excessively wet and/or soft ground surfaces.
