Environmental Remediation Services

1 Introduction

The Contractor shall be responsible for providing a full range of environmental remediation services to customers of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The environmental remediation services consist of environmental compliance, environmental restoration, environmental conservation, pollution prevention, erosion and sediment control, storm water and water reuse, safety and industrial hygiene, quality assurance, facilities maintenance, inspection, and energy management. Traditional construction is related to restoration, renovations, repairs, and modernization of existing facilities. The contractor shall furnish all materials, equipment, supplies, personnel, and all other services required to perform the environmental services and Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization support outlined in this performance work statement and as specifically identified in the individual task orders.

1.1 Scope

The contractor shall furnish all materials, equipment, supplies, personnel, and all other services required to perform the environmental services and Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization support outlined in this statement of work and as specifically identified in the individual task orders.

While the SERO establishes the primary geographical area of responsibility for this contract, it is not limited to only Army customers. The Contractor may be required to perform tasks on-site or at their own facilities.

Task orders may use performance-based work statements (PWSs). A PWS structures all aspects of an acquisition around the purpose of the work to be performed and does not dictate how the work is to be accomplished. It is written to ensure that contractors are given the freedom to determine how to meet the Government’s performance objectives and provides for payment only when the results meet or exceed these objectives. It maximizes contractor control of work processes and allows for innovation in approaching various work requirements. A PWS emphasizes 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. The goal of Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA) is to:

a. Save money by reducing contract costs from elimination of unnecessary effort, through innovation by the contractor, and also by reducing Government surveillance.

b. Enable Government to shift its emphasis from processes to outputs.

The Contractor must have the capability and experience to perform, or provide, a wide range of investigative, remedial design, remedial construction, and remediation services required for hazardous substance and waste sites. Work may include, for example, site investigation, site characterization, study, evaluation, remedial design, remedial construction, remediation of contaminated sites, and monitoring.

The Contractor will submit detail information regarding their proposed technical approach to achieve the performance objectives included in this PWS.

It is the Contractor's responsibility to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and to fulfill the performance objectives of this PWS in a manner that is consistent with any applicable orders or permits, and relevant Department of Defense (DoD) policy.

The Contractor must perform all the necessary environmental restoration work as required to meet the performance objectives of this PWS.

2.0 PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND STANDARDS

The performance objectives and standards for this PWS are outlined in Table 1.

Table 1: Performance Requirements Summary.

Performance Objective Performance Standards

Complete delineation of contamination and extent of free product at the following sites: P4, P5, P6, and

P7.

Approval by Project Delivery Team, State and local regulators of all project plans and reports and concurrence from

PDT and regulators that delineation is complete.

Achieve Response Complete (RC) at sites P4, P5, P6, and P7 within 18 months from receiving NTP.

Approval by Project Delivery Team, State and local regulators (e.g., Receipt of documentation confirming RC).

Perform any confirmatory sampling, long-term monitoring (LTM), and/or long-term operations

(LTO) at the identified sites for the duration of the contract.

Approval or concurrence by Project

Delivery Team, State and local regulators

(e.g., final acceptance of monitoring reports).

Complete removal and closure of underground

Heating Oil Tanks located within the cantonment area of the former base.

Approval by PDT of closure reports.

Response Complete (RC): The remedy is in place and required remedial action–operations (RA- O) have been completed. If there is no RA-O phase, then the remedial action–construction end date will also be the RC date. If no remedial action is required at a site (based on agreement with the USACE and appropriate regulators), documentation of "No Further Action" will constitute Response Complete.

2.1 Background Information

Under the FUDS program, the USACE completed the removal of pipelines and over 110 underground storage tanks in 1993. Initial investigations indentified several contaminated areas along the Anyplace Installation Fuel Pipeline “P”. These areas were numbered as areas P1 thru P12. (Figure 1).

Seven of the twelve Pipeline “P” sites have been cleared for a No Further Action by both The State and USACE. Wells associated with the seven cleared sites (P1, P2, P3, P8, P9, P10, and P12) will be abandoned under this task.
