REMOVAL AND RECYCLING ON FORMER CONTAMINATION SITE

1 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to provide Fort Bragg support for the Environmental Compliance Program through disposal and recycling of solid waste generated through other activities.

An approximately 5.3 acre lot, located at the intersection of Gruber Road and Butner Road, has primarily been clear cut with only underbrush, small trees (not suitable for harvesting), and stumps ranging in size from 12” to 36” remaining. All stumps will require grinding to a minimum of level with ground surface. All chips/grindings will remain on premise. The lot was a former area of concern due to heating oil and solvent contamination in the shallow aquifer due to numerous underground storage tanks from the surrounding lots. Potential underbrush, vegetative debris, concrete, fencing, and former water supply well components shall be moved and consolidated at a safe location for removal and recycling. The remaining material that is too large for on-site grinding and any of the aforementioned debris will be loaded onto trucks and hauled to the Fort Bragg Landfill, where it will be recycled or properly disposed of.

2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Responsibility

The Contractor shall perform all services stated for the project in accordance with established criteria, standards, and instructions and shall assume all responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the work. Quality of work accomplished under this contract will be a determining factor in consideration of the Contractor for future work. The Contractor and all his subcontractors must comply with statutes and regulations of the State of North Carolina

Department of Natural Resources (NCDNR). Should the Contractor receive any directions or instructions that are beyond the PWS, the Contractor shall not proceed with such directions or instructions, but shall notify the Contracting Officer (KO) or the Contracting Officer

Representative (COR) in writing describing the changes and impact on the effort within ten calendar days. The CO will then evaluate the need for a modification to the Contractor’s task order.

2.2 Professional Judgment

The Contractor shall continuously review the PWS, and all work during the progress of the delivery order, for potential changes that would be in the best interest of the Government. If changes are needed, the Contractor shall contact the COR to discuss the needs or recommendations and follow-up with a Confirmation Notice. The negotiated PWS is not to be viewed as an inflexible work order. The Contractor shall use their professional judgment to make suggestions to improve the quality of the work, reduce any unnecessary work (and associated cost), and improve the final product (workplan, design, report, etc.). The Contractor shall also ensure that the USACE meets all reporting requirements under applicable laws and regulations.

2.3 Policies

It is the policy of the Army to use innovative and sustainable approaches to environmental management and technology to accomplish its mission. Sustainable projects do not deplete resources, cause environmental degradation, or adverse impacts to human health, and may reduce the burden of compliance for the Army. Mission requirements are met while also balancing cost and environmental responsibility. The Contractor shall incorporate environmental pollution prevention and sustainability initiatives into all aspects of this delivery order.

The Contractor shall function as an integral team member in support of the Fort Bragg mission, to include sharing of information with other Fort Bragg contractors, and cooperation with communities, regulators, and other government entities.

This delivery order is to be efficiently managed. This includes accurate, on-time submittals of contract deliverables and timely identification and solution of impediments to successful project execution. Early involvement of all concerned parties fosters the development of the most cost-effective and technically sound solutions. The USACE and Fort Bragg will rely on the

Contractor’s expertise in recognizing and addressing problematic issues and successful execution of this delivery order.

2.4 Coordination with Other Contractors and Government Agencies

The Contractor shall be responsible for day-to-day interface with other government work agencies to include, but not limited to, civil engineering, transportation, communications, legal, operations, security forces, safety, and public affairs. Topics for interface include, but are not limited to: engineering design/construction and environmental compliance.

The Contractor shall cooperate fully with other contractors and government employees. The

Contractor shall not commit any act that will interfere with the performance of work by any other contractor or government employee. The KO will resolve work schedule conflicts between this delivery order and the additional work awarded to other contractor(s). The KO will provide written direction to the Contractor to reschedule work when required.

2.5 Release of Information

The Contractor shall neither publicize nor release in any manner information regarding projects on which they may be working or negotiating with this office, nor discuss prior to public release by this office, a project, any future design of the project, or any planning with anyone not directly concerned with the execution of the project. Any inquiries about the project shall be referred to the KO, COR, or the USACE, Savannah District, Corporate Communications Office

(CCO).

2.6 Regulatory Interface

The Contractor is not an employee of the government and shall not represent the government in an official or unofficial capacity without the express prior written permission from the KO. In the event that an unspecified regulatory representative approaches the Contractor with a stated intent to inspect the activities of the Contractor, the Contractor shall respectfully decline the inspection until the KO is properly notified and a duly appointed representative is present or other direction is issued by the KO. If this is not possible, due to project constraints, the

Contractor shall notify the KO, Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and base point of contact (POC) at the earliest possible time following the inspection.

3 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Prior to field activities, the Contractor shall prepare and submit Draft and Final versions of a

Work Plan and an Accident Prevention Plan (APP) with a Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP).

All reports and documents will be completed in time for their thorough and complete review, appropriate revision to occur, and required delivery schedules to be observed. To facilitate attainment of this goal, the project deliverables schedule will be routinely and regularly updated.

Draft reports are considered “drafts” only in the sense that they have not been reviewed and approved by the government. In all respects draft reports shall be complete, free of grammatical/typographical errors, and in the proper format. It is not generally desirable however, for draft reports to be bound (except when their length makes in impractical) or in color. All reports shall be double-sided on recycled paper. The Contractor shall coordinate the cover letters with the USACE. Submittals to regulatory reviewers shall be shipped by registered mail or other method where a signed receipt indicating appropriate delivery is obtained.

4.3.2 Electronic Deliverables

All drawings required for this work shall be created using a Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) system.

Savannah District, along with most other USACE districts, has chosen to make Intergraph

MicroStation (and related products) the CADD system of record. Only one drawing should occupy a single file. Drawing files shall be created compliant with the Tri-Service Spatial Data

Standard. (Go to: http://tsc.wes.army.mil for more information).

4.3.3 Photographs

Photographs or slides of the site will not be taken without prior approval by USACE, security and other approving officials. All photographic products will be the property of the government.
