These contracts will include FFP features for a wide range of environmental remediation services at various known or suspected contaminated sites. It will also be used to perform other contamination mitigation actions including excavation and/or removal of contaminated soil. Work will be executed under a Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA) Task Order (TO) using Performance Work Statements (PWSs). Furthermore, our primary customer, U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC), requires a comprehensive environmental remediation services contract to support the Army Environmental Cleanup Strategy (AECS) in Europe. The Compliance Cleanup (CC) Program implements the AECS pursuant to DOD Instruction 4715.08, Remediation of Environmental Contamination Outside the United States. Response complete is a distinct milestone reached when the selected remedy has achieved remedial action objectives specified in an Army approved Decision Document. Many of the USAEC efforts will be through PBAs.

C.1.2 Minimum Guarantee - Each awarded IDIQ contract shall have a total guarantee minimum amount of $5,000 for the base period. There are no minimum guarantees for option years that are exercised by the Government. The guaranteed minimum may be met with the obligation of a TO meeting or exceeding the guarantee amount and shall be de-obligated when the obligation occurs.

C.1.3 Location – The awarded contracts shall be in geographic groupings as follows: Germany, Poland

C.1.4 Scope of Remediation and Contamination Mitigation Measures - Contractors will be responsible for fully executing required environmental remediation and contaminant mitigation services for a variety of media including but not limited to groundwater, soil, surface water, storm water, drinking water, air, and buildings, techniques for remediation and mitigation also vary; they include but are not limited to in-situ methods; ex-situ methods; removal; natural attenuation; physical, chemical, or biological processes; or any combination thereof. The specific requirements are site and contaminant dependent; they are defined during site investigations, site assessments, remedial investigations, feasibility studies, and/or scoping and may require prompt action due to mission, legal, environmental, or health protection issues.

Work that might be tasked under this contract includes, but is not limited to, the following (for a more detailed list of efforts see Section C.2.2:

Surveys, assessments and plans:

Performing environmental assessments to include sampling and/or testing of any media (including geotechnical testing);

Consulting services such as providing recommendations, design planning assistance, development of Operation and Maintenance manuals, and reporting remediation results;

Studies and Reports:

Corrective Measures Study (CMS) and Remedial Investigation /Feasibility Study (RI/FS);

Related efforts to include: risk assessments, pilot tests, fate and transport analyses, groundwater modeling or other techniques;

Studies related to contamination mitigation requirements such as radon, asbestos, etc.

In situ/ex situ cleanup:

Monitoring by sampling groundwater, surface water, storm water, sediment, soil, and/or air;

C.1.5 Conduct of Work - The Contractor, the Contractor's subcontractors and the Contractor's suppliers shall perform all work while respecting Host Nation (HN) and U.S. environmental laws, DODI 4715.08 (for remediation efforts), and in compliance with an approved management plan. The Contractor shall be responsible for acquiring the latest version of applicable laws, regulations and regulatory agency guidance and the referenced documents cited within this solicitation and/or subsequent TOs issued after award of the Contract, unless otherwise specified.

C.1.6 Performance Based Task Orders- Work will generally fall under performance based task orders using Performance Work Statements (PWSs). The PWS will describe the work in terms of the required results rather than either “how” the work is to be accomplished. The PWS will enable assessment of work performance against measurable performance standards (objectives and measures) and provides for payment only when results meet or exceed those standards. Performance standards establish the performance level required by the Government to meet the contract requirements. The standards shall be measurable and structured to permit an assessment of the contractor’s performance. Performance based acquisitions rely on measurable performance standards in a competitive environment to encourage competitors to develop and institute innovative and cost-effective methods of performing the work.

The description of work stated herein provides a general understanding of the Contractor functions to be performed; individual task orders will contain the specific performance based requirements and the award evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria will be identified in each task order as either lowest cost/technically acceptable or tradeoff. Technical requirements described herein in no way limit the activities that may be required under the terms of the contract. Exclusive of the program management functions, the Contractor may utilize subcontractors or consultants identified in the accepted proposal or subsequently approved by the USACE Contracting Officer to perform any of the functions required within the specific task orders.

Task orders issued under this Contract will be Firm-Fixed Price.

The Contractor shall be responsible for acquiring and following the latest version of applicable regulatory or agency guidance unless otherwise specified.

Specific objectives, milestones, and pricing information under this contract will be included in each task order. The Government will require some level of detail to properly analyze the pricing on a task order by task order basis so that the Contracting Officer can document that the price is fair and reasonable. The level of detail may vary depending on the level of complexity of the project. In all cases, the Government will request the Contractor provide a cost breakdown, which specifies the proposed mix of labor resources, travel costs, other direct costs, with the underlying assumptions to support those costs and their technical approach.

C.1.7 Task Order Limitations - Project specific TOs will be issued under the basic contract and ordering period.

C.1.7.1 Use of Subcontractors or Consultants - Exclusive of the program management functions, the Contractor may utilize subcontractors or consultants identified in the accepted proposal or subsequently approved by the Contracting Officer (KO) to perform any of the functions required within the specific TO.

C.1.7.2 Task Order Solicitation Requirements - Specific objectives, milestones, and pricing information under this contract will be included in each TO. The Government will require some level of detail to properly analyze the pricing on a TO so that the Contracting Officer (KO) can document that the price is fair and reasonable. The level of detail may vary depending on the level of complexity of the project. In all cases, the Government will request the Contractor provide a cost breakdown.

C.2 TASK ORDERS

Information provided by CENAU on any site will be dependent on the current status of the site. Each TO will define the requirements of the Contractor. The description of work stated herein provides a general understanding of the Contractor functions which may be performed.

C.2.1 Task Order Types - The two types of Task Orders under which work may be solicited are prescriptive or performance based. A description of each is given below with more detail provided on the latter as more effort and input from the Contractor is required under these actions

C.2.1.1 Prescriptive Task Orders - A Prescriptive TO SOW under this contract will include site or project specific information. Scopes will vary in detail but will provide an adequate description of the actual services required to allow suitable proposals from the Contractors. Typically the individual TO will provide the Contractor with the location, description of work, and schedule of execution. When applicable, the quantities of a particular item that is required will be stated. As attachments, the Government will provide, as necessary, reference materials to further clarify the work effort, and any additional applicable project background information.

C.2.1.2 Performance-Based Task Orders: (1) describe the requirements in terms of results required rather than methods of performing the work; (2) use measurable performance standards (e.g., terms of quality, timeliness, quantity); (3) specify procedures for deficient services; and (4) may include performance incentives/disincentives where appropriate. PBC methods are intended to ensure that required performance quality levels are achieved and that the Government’s total payment is commensurate with the quantity and quality of services received. Performance-based task orders, with a tailored TO-specific Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) typically will be issued with the TO.

C.2.1.2.1 Performance Work Statement (PWS). FAR 2.101 defines PWS as “a statement of work for performance-based acquisitions that describes the required results in clear, specific and objective terms with measurable outcomes” and Statements of Objectives (SOO) as a “Government-prepared document incorporated into the solicitation that states the overall performance objectives. It is used in solicitations when the Government intends to provide the maximum flexibility to each offeror to propose an innovative approach.” PBCs tend to require more engineering support than traditional prescriptive contracts. This is because PBCs specify what the final goal of a project is, but not how it is to be accomplished. Basically, the PWS and SOO describe the end result the Contractor is required to achieve on a specific project but do not tell them how to complete it, thus allowing for maximum flexibility for offerors to propose innovative approaches. PWSs emphasize performance that can be contractually defined so that the results of the Contractor's effort can be measured in terms of technical and quality achievement, schedule progress, or cost performance. Under a PWS, milestone payments occur only when the results meet or exceed the stated objectives. Simply meeting the Milestone/ Objective, (i.e., submittal of a document for review) is not the same as completion of the Milestone/Objective, (i.e., acceptance of the document by the approval authority). Only upon the completion and acceptance will the Government pay for that Milestone/Objective. For a performance-based task order, the Contractor will be required to use its expertise and develop the methods to achieve the required end result.

A PWS for a task order will to every extent possible:

Define desired results/outcomes.

Define what level of performance is expected (and ensure it is meaningful and fair) and use performance standards and QASP.

Provide all information known about the site(s) or where it can be located and accessed by the

Contractor.

Define incentives and disincentives.

Define the measurement terms using clear and concise language avoiding vague or broad statements.

C.2.1.2.2 Project Management Plan (PMP): The Contractor may be required to develop and maintain a detailed PMP. The PMP, typically based on the schedule prepared as part of the Contractor’s proposal, shall specify the schedule, technical approach and activities required for the planning, execution, and completion of the performance objectives. As part of the PMP, the Contractor shall identify and implement a means for providing project status reports to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

The PMP shall address the content of status reports, frequency shall usually be monthly. The first draft of the PMP shall be as stated in the TO and shall include a payment milestone schedule. Elements of this draft PMP shall be part of the Contractor’s submittal of the TO proposal. The draft PMP, proposed payment milestones, and subsequent revisions shall be subject to Government review and acceptance, through the COR. The final PMP typically shall be due within 15 calendar days of receipt of COR comments on the draft PMP. The Contractor shall update the PMP to reflect progress towards achievement of the performance objectives and delineate proposed actions to accomplish future project milestones.

C.2.1.2.3 Project Schedule: As part of the PMP, the Contractor shall develop and maintain an activity-based schedule that fully supports the technical approach and outlines activities and milestones defined at the appropriate detail level and logically sequenced to support and manage completion of the performance objectives in the PWS. Additionally, the Contractor shall identify the due dates for all payable deliverables in the activity-based schedule. A payment plan shall be included with the schedule that may allow for payments to the Contractor based on successful completion of interim milestones proposed by the Contractor. Proposed payment milestones and subsequent revisions shall be subject to Government review and acceptance, through the COR. The Contractor shall appropriately name activities identified in the Government-provided QASP within the project schedule to allow for Government planning of Quality Assurance (QA) inspections. The Government will make payments after verification of milestone completion in accordance with this schedule. The Contractor must complete all performance objectives within the allowable contract period of performance provided the Government has exercised all contract options.

C.2.1.2.4 Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP): Each TO shall have a QASP prepared which unless otherwise noted shall follow the QASP requirements for service contracts as set forth in FAR Subpart 37.6. The QASP details how and when the Government will survey, observe, test, sample, evaluate and document Contractor performance according to the PWS. The QASP focuses on the quality, timeliness, etc. of the performance outputs to be delivered by the Contractor and not the individual steps required or procedures used to provide the product or services. The Government's QASP and the Contractor's Quality Control Plan (see Section C.4.8) work together to ensure that all project performance standards are met.

A template for the QASP is written concurrently with the PWS because what is written in the PWS influences what is put into the QASP. After award, the Government shall submit a draft QASP per requirements set forth in the TO. The final QASP will be developed by the COR and provided to the Contractor typically within 30 calendar days of receiving Contractor comments to the draft QASP.

The QASP should highlight key quality control activities or events that the COR will use to determine when Government inspections can be conducted to assess progress toward and/or completion of milestones. The Contractor shall appropriately identify the activities identified in the QASP within the activity-based project schedule to allow for Government planning of QA inspections.

C.2.1.2.5 Milestone Presentations: As specified in each TO PWS, milestone presentations shall be made to the COR at the completion of each milestone specified to provide analysis and lessons learned, and to present approaches for completion of future milestones. At the COR’s request, the Contractor may also make milestone presentations to the other project stakeholders to show achievement of the performance objectives. This may include participation in annual USAEC-E/Garrison Installation Action Plan (IAP) meetings, if requested by the COR.

C.2.1.2.6 Payment Milestones a n d Army Acceptance: Payments milestones will be defined in each TO.

Typical milestones are shown below. The Contractor may propose a revision to the payment milestones to provide for a limited number of interim payment milestones. Additional payment milestones will only be considered by the Government if they represent significant progress toward performance objective completion, and completion of these interim steps can be measured and demonstrated as complete (e.g., final acceptance of a report rather than submission of a draft). All milestones must have a defined means for demonstrating completion in order to facilitate certification and acceptance. These payment milestone revisions will be subject to Government review and acceptance through the COR.

Government acceptance and HN concurrence of Site Inspection (SI) at the site Government acceptance and HN concurrence of Remedial Investigation (RI) at the site Government acceptance and HN concurrence of Pre-Remedy Monitoring report(s) Government acceptance and HN concurrence of Remediation In Place (RIP), Remediation

Complete (RC), or Site Closure (SC) at the site Government acceptance and HN concurrence of Remedial Action Objective (RAO) and/or

Long Term Management (LTM) report(s) Government acceptance and HN concurrence of an exit or ramp-down strategy for RAO and/or LTM Government acceptance and HN concurrence of other Remedy review(s) Government acceptance and HN concurrence of successful correction of deficiencies noted in other Remedy review(s)

C.2.2 Task Order Content - The Contractor may be required to perform any or all of the efforts described in this section under one PWS TO. Note that descriptions here are largely confined to remediation efforts. The Contactor may be required to prepare work plans, perform studies/assessments and remove hazardous materials as needed for contamination mitigation. This includes excavation and/or removal of soil.

C.2.2.1 Work Plans - For each awarded TO, the Contractor is required to submit a Work Plan (WP) as appropriate. The WP basically describes the Contractor's activities as outlined in the TO. The WP shall contain but not be limited to the following, when relevant:

Description of available data and contaminant characterization;

Statement of the work to be accomplished including a statement of Data Quality

Objective(s);

Discussion on implementation of the project including the method of operation, type of equipment, personnel required, and other special considerations;

The Contractor Quality Control Plan (CQC) (See Section C.4.8); and Health and Safety Plan (HASP) See Section C.4.9

The Government will review and provide comments on the draft WP. The Contractor shall submit a Final WP according to the agreed schedule with the Government. The WP shall be modified to address and incorporate the Government’s comments and concerns, as appropriate. The plan will be reviewed and accepted by the COR or returned to the Contractor, with comments, for further revision prior to field mobilization. Acceptance of the Contractor’s WP by the Government is required prior to any field mobilization. During execution of the TO the Contractor shall follow the approved WP. Deviations or proposed changes to the approved WP must be submitted to the COR for review, comment, and acceptance. Acceptance must come before any field change occurs. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to make changes in his WP and operations as necessary.

C.2.2.2 Investigation and Field Studies - The Contractor shall perform all planning, fieldwork, analysis and preparation of any reports as specified in the TOs. The investigative services to be provided generally consist of, but are not limited to, performing investigations to determine the contaminant(s) source(s), geology and groundwater conditions, contaminant concentration, nature and extent of contamination, and geotechnical characteristics as well as any other related tasks. The Contractor shall prepare associated reports as described in each individual TO.

The Contractor shall have the capability and experience to provide a wide range of investigative and response services required at sites which might require remediation efforts or eventual contaminant mitigation and/or removal including, but not limited to:

Site characterization and evaluation;

Identification of action levels/cleanup levels of contaminants through review of US and HN laws, regulations, or guidance, or developed through risk assessments. This shall also include coordination with appropriate regulatory agencies;
