PART 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0 General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide performance based environmental remediation services necessary, to implement a Remedial Action (RA) under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS), Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP). The Government shall not exercise control over the contract service providers/employees performing the services herein. Such contract service providers/employees shall be accountable solely to the primary contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. The Government will award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.
The MMRP was established under DERP in 2001 to address nonoperational range lands known or suspected to contain munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) or munitions constituents (MC) contamination. For this site, MEC includes unexploded ordnance (UXO) and discarded military munitions (DMM). The Remedial Investigation (RI) concluded that MC poses no unacceptable human health or ecological risk at East Elliot MRS 01C, 01D, and 01F. MC investigation and remediation will be limited to detonation events or consolidated shots, if explosive results exceed risk-based screening limits.
The RA will be performed on the delineated response areas within the former Camp Elliot, East Elliot, Munitions Response Site 01C, 01D, and 01F (MRS-01CDF). East Elliot MRS-01CDF is in San Diego County, CA, and is located approximately twelve miles northeast of downtown San Diego, California (Figures 1 and 2).
For East Elliot MRS-01CDF, USACE is the Program Manager for DERP FUDS and the lead agency for investigating, reporting, making remedial decisions, and taking remedial actions.
California Department of Toxic Substances Controls (DTSC) is the lead regulatory agency.
The Contractor shall be responsible for fully executing the Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) approach under a Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA) by: addressing any and all explosive safety, scheduling work, addressing regulatory issues, and assuming contractual liability and responsibility for the achievement of the performance objectives identified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).
The contractor must possess all the required expertise, knowledge, equipment and tools to meet or exceed the Government’s objectives identified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) in accordance with established industry standards.
1.1 Site History: The area encompassing former Camp Elliott was used by the military, including the Army, the Marine Corps, and the Navy, as a training facility from World War I (WWI) through the early 1960s. Documentation on the specific munitions related activities conducted at the MRS has not been found, but a review of historical photos and maps indicates that tank training occurred in the vicinity and MRS is within portions of several ranges including small arms ranges, mortar ranges, and artillery ranges. The land is publicly owned and is used for recreational purposes and for an electrical substation.
Site specific information, including Uniform Federal Policy – Quality Assurance Project Plan (UFP-QAPP) Worksheets #10, Conceptual Site Model; #11, Data Quality Objectives steps 1-4;
and as attachment H.
1.2 Objectives: The project objectives are to actively search for and remove Military Munitions present on the surface and subsurface of the MRS within the delineated response areas (Figure 3), to include detonation of any MEC; execute and document these activities with sufficient rigor to confidently state that all surface and subsurface munitions have been removed in those areas; and, with the implementation of institutional controls, show that ‘inadvertent exposure to potential explosive safety hazards potentially remaining at the site has been minimized as required by the Decision Document (DD), Department of Defense (DoD), Army, and USACE regulations and guidance to include Interim Guidance (see Part 6).
1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall implement environmental remediation activities as required to meet objectives of this contract and in accordance with all applicable or relevant and appropriate federal, state, and local laws and regulations; DoD policies; and the MMRP. No fieldwork shall occur on a property without a fully executed Right of Entry.
Tasks include, but are not limited to, RA project UFP-QAPP development, Munitions Response Explosive Safety Submissions (MRESS), Advanced Geophysical Classification (AGC), removal of military munitions from the surface and subsurface, management and planning functions, biological and cultural monitoring, performance measurement and fund status reporting, document preparation, development and implementation of Institutional Controls (ICs), Remedial Action Completion Report (RACR) documenting the attainment of reaching the Remedial Action Objective (RAO), and close coordination and meetings with USACE.
The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, laboratory costs, sampling supplies, data analysis, data validation, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the remedial action as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services (Part 3).
The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
1.4 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for up to five years (60 months). If optional tasks are exercised, they will not affect the contract period of performance.
1.5 General Information:
1.5.1 Place of Performance: The work to be performed under this contract will be performed at the former Camp Elliot, East Elliot MRS-01CDF FUDS located in San Diego County, California.
1.5.2 Type of Contract: The Government will award a Firm-Fixed Price.
1.5.3 Hours of Operation: The contractor is responsible for conducting business between the hours of 0530 and 1700 Monday through Friday for all work activities. The contractor can propose an alternative schedule; however, a Fatigue Management Plan is required per EM 385-1- 1 01.A.20 as part of the Accident Prevention Plan (APP) whenever work hours either: 1) exceed 10 hours a day for more than 4 consecutive days, 2) exceed 50 hours in a 7 day work week, 3) exceed 12 hours a day for more than 3 consecutive days, or 4) exceed 58 hours a week for sedentary work.
1.5.4 Recognized Holidays: The contractor may choose to work but is not required to when the Government is shut down for a federal holiday. The following holidays are recognized as Federal holidays and Government offices will not be open.
New Year’s Day Labor Day Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Columbus Day President’s Day Veteran’s Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day
1.5.5 Contractor Methods: This is a performance-based contract (PBC). The performance objectives and standards included herein are the basis of the contract requirements. The technical approach and level of effort expended to achieve contract objectives and standards are solely up to the Contractor to select and adjust as necessary through the life of the contract. The Government recognizes the Contractor’s right to change the technical approach and level of effort from that proposed with the understanding that the Contractor shall still meet all project objectives and gain Government Quality Assurance (QA) acceptance in order to receive payment. If after the Systematic Project Planning (SPP) but before the field work begins an adjustment in the quantities or types of field investigations is required to achieve the performance standard, or the Government determines that the performance standard must be adjusted, the Government at its discretion may choose to modify the contract with the price adjustment based upon the prorated unit prices proposed in the accepted offer. Once these adjustments are complete the Contractor shall be obligated to deliver the required performance standards, making adjustments in the field strategy as may be necessary to achieve the standard without a change in price.
1.5.6 Contract Oversight
1.5.6.1 Quality Control: The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective Quality Control Program (QCP) to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. See Section 6.1 for a list of applicable regulations, publications, and manuals. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The Contractor’s QCP is the means by which they assure themselves that their work complies with the requirement of the contract. The Quality Control Plan (QCP) should be made available to the Government upon request.
1.5.6.2 Quality Assurance: The Government shall evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) – Attachment G. This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the Contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum satisfactory performance thresholds. The QASP highlights key quality control activities, tasks or events that the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will use to determine when Army inspections will be conducted to assess progress toward and/or completion of milestones. The Government reserves the right to modify the surveillance tasks in the QASP at any time. The Government reserves the right to perform QA inspections at any time. QA failure can be defined as workmanship or work products not complying with the UFP-QAPP, this PWS, or not meeting project needs and/or objectives. Failure can also be defined as workmanship not complying with basic safety concepts and other industry safety practices. If any Government QA review identifies a process failure or a work product failure, the Contractor will be issued a Corrective Action Request (CAR). The Contractor shall provide full documentation detailing the root cause of the failure, why it was not detected in the Contractor’s QC Program, and how the problem was corrected. The QASP is a living document that will be updated throughout the period of performance (POP) to accommodate changes in scope, technical approach or as processes and techniques are defined or refined. The Contractor shall provide suggested changes to the QASP for use by the Government. Failure to adequately complete any service or submittal to at least a satisfactory level of quality or timeliness may result in a repeat of the work at the Contractor’s expense, or a poor performance evaluation, or both.
1.5.6.3 Performance Standards: Performance standards are addressed in each task.
Performance requirements are addressed in each task and summarized in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) Matrix provided in Attachment B. Performance metrics are provided in Attachment C. If discrepancies or ambiguity exists between the documents, the order of precedence is 1) the Task; 2) Performance Requirements Summary; 3) Performance Metrics.

Such evidence include no spelling or grammar errors, correct figure/table/section references, clear writing that avoids run-on and overly complicated sentences, use of the active voice, and figures that clearly show what they are meant to show [clearly formatted]. Documents that fail to meet this requirement may be rejected without comment, and any adverse impact to the schedule shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.
1.5.6.7 Post Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings: The Contractor agrees to attend any post award conference and periodic progress meetings convened by the contracting activity or contract administration office in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 42.5. The Contracting Officer (KO), Contracting Officer’s Representative, and other Government personnel, as appropriate, may meet periodically with the Contractor to review the Contractor's performance. At these meetings the KO will apprise the Contractor of how the Government views the Contractor's performance and the Contractor will apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced. Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues.
1.5.6.8 Task Pricing: A pricing schedule is provided in the Request for Proposals (RFP) Attachment D. This pricing schedule should be separated and used in the proposal package.
1.5.6.9 Invoices: Invoices shall be submitted upon completion of tasks as outlined in the Contract. The Government shall pay the Contractor upon submission of proper invoices for services delivered and accepted for the portion of the work actually performed under this PWS.

Any payment vouchers submitted that do not coincide with the final accepted milestones or do not have the appropriate QC documentation will be rejected. All payments will be made utilizing an agreed upon Payment Milestone Schedule. The Contractor shall show milestones for payment on the project schedule without payment details (dollar values). The anticipated schedule for optional task may be presented in the number of days from award of the Option.
The following is a list of potential milestones for payment:
Final Submittals: Upon Government acceptance, for example: Final UFP-QAPP Field Work: For defined tasks completed and QA review and acceptance Meetings: Upon completion of meetings with Government acceptance of meeting minutes.
1.5.7 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): Only a warranted Contracting Officer (either a Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) or an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. The Contractor shall take no direction from any Government employee or any person other than the Contracting Officer that changes the terms and conditions of this contract action, the scope, or any change that impacts the price or schedule. The Contractor shall accept directions only from the USACE Contracting Officer (KO) or the duly authorized COR. Requests made directly to the Contractor by anyone other than the
KO or COR will be immediately brought to the attention of the KO and COR. The KO must authorize any changes to the project scope or other provisions of this PWS in writing. In the event the Contractor makes any changes at the direction of any person other than the KO, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover any increase in costs.
1.5.8 Department of Defense Advanced Classification Accreditation Program (DAGCAP): Advanced Geophysical Classification (AGC) methods should be utilized to the maximum extent practical for site conditions. As such, the contractor, or subcontractor in charge of AGC, shall be accredited in accordance with the DAGCAP.

This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR no later than 5 calendar days after the completion of the training.
1.6.3 Safety
1.6.3.1 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, and OSHA Requirements: The contractor will be required to comply with all pertinent provisions of the latest version of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, in effect on the date of the contract award. EM 385-1-1 and its changes are available at http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/USACE-publications/Engineer-Manuals/. The Contractor must also comply with Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standards. OSHA standards are subject to change. It is the Contractor's responsibility to maintain familiarity with current OSHA standards.
1.6.3.2 Zero Accident Program: The South Pacific Division, in its continual pursuit of excellence in safety, has established a goal of zero contractor injuries. To attain this goal it will be necessary for the contractor management personnel to communicate to the workers an expectation of zero injuries; that it is no longer acceptable to take chances; that shortcuts taken because of laziness or even while trying to do an efficient job are not accepted; and that praise for shortcuts or chance-taking will not exist. It is imperative that contractor management clearly sets forth the expectation for zero injuries so that the workers can believe that the company is serious about safety. From the standpoint of worker psychology, zero injuries is the only supportable goal. In attaining zero-injury performance, there is no substitute for the concept of setting and communicating safety performance expectations to the workers.
1.6.3.3 Safety and Health Program (SHP): The Contractor performing Task Order requirements is required by regulation to develop and maintain a written safety and health program in compliance with the requirements of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard 29 CFR 1920.120 (b), and 29 CFR 1926.65(b). Existing written safety and health programs are acceptable if they are modified to cover the criteria found in EM 385-1-1.
1.6.3.4 MEC Safety Program: The Contractor shall perform MEC activities IAW EM 30 November 385-1-97 / C1, 12 April 2013.

The MEC supplement shall include Anomaly Avoidance Procedures for non MEC activities, Surveying & Staking Grids, soil sampling, and escorting visitors.
1.6.4 Geospatial Database: The Contactor shall utilize Geographic Information System (GIS) to maintain and manage all project and geospatial data. The Contractor shall adhere to all applicable federal, DoD, and Army geospatial standards for tasks and deliverables in this PWS.
Spatial data must be compliant with the Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment v 4.0.1 (or current version). The GeoDatabase shall be a living repository that is refined throughout the life of the project. Incorporate layers that overlay on maps of the site that identify physical features, MPPEH/MD, and Range-Related Debris found during the remediation. Examples include: streets, anomalies, MEC positively identified, identifiable MD, sampling location, cultural resources, environmental resources, biological resources, and socio-economic variables. Archeological site location(s) will not be released to the public without written permission from USACE. Perform civil surveys IAW EM 200-1-15, EM 1110-1-2909 and EM 1110-1-1003.
Develop, manage, and maintain project data in GIS IAW, EM 200-1-2, EM 200-1-15 dated 30 October 2018 (Chapter 5), EM 1110-1-2909, and applicable Interim Guidance Documents.
