Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

Performance Work Statement Jacobsville Neighborhood Soil Contamination Site

Operable Unit 2 Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana

1 Introduction

The performance work statement (PWS) is for environmental services to remediate lead- and arsenic-contaminated soil specified on remedial design drawings for residential properties within Operable Unit 2 (OU2) of the Jacobsville Neighborhood Soil Contamination Superfund Site in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana. This is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Contract. The base ordering period will be three years from date of award and have an ordering capacity of $51 million. There are two (2) options to extend the ordering period by one year. Each option, if exercised, would increase the ordering capacity by $8 million. The total maximum capacity of this contract will be $67 million if all options are exercised. All task orders will be negotiated firm-fixed priced task orders. There may be multiple task orders awarded during a single field season.

The Government requests that offerors provide firm-fixed-price proposals for the tasks listed in this PWS in the quantities listed on the attached proposal bid schedule. The basis of award is the Trade-off Process. The Contracting Officer will award a firm-fixed-price Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) to the responsible offeror whom the Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation; is fair and reasonable; and offers the best overall value to the Government, all factors considered. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. Evaluation criteria may be found in Section M of this document.

In general, remedial action includes excavation of residential lead- and arsenic-contaminated soil per EPA-provided remedial designs, backfill/restoration of disturbed areas, transportation and disposal of contaminated soil, and completion of remediation reports documenting cleanup. USACE anticipates that 400 remedial designs will require remediation during each of the first two field seasons. Up to 400 remedial designs may be remediated during each field season thereafter. A field season may last from March through mid-December but is dependent on weather, approval of all planning documents and suitable backfill, and the number of remedial designs to be remediated. It should be noted that the Contractor’s schedule for gaining approval of all planning documents and backfill in advance of starting excavation for the first field season will need to be aggressive so field work can commence in a time frame that will allow for remediation of 400 properties during the first field season.

Most remedial design drawings encompass one property as identified by a single Vanderburgh County tax identification number. However, some remedial design drawings encompass more than one adjacent property, each having a separate Vanderburgh County tax identification number but the same property owner. These properties were combined into one remedial design drawing by EPA during the remedial design phase for ease of reporting and sampling because they have the same property owner. Other remedial design drawings encompass one property with two adjacent street numbers and a single Vanderburgh County tax identification number and property owner.

Therefore, one remedial design drawing may encompass more than one residence.

All actions shall be conducted consistent with:

• EPA Region 5 Record of Decision (ROD) dated September 2009 (https://semspub.epa.gov/work/05/352479.pdf);

• relevant EPA policies including, but not limited to, the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response [OSWER] 9285.7-50; Superfund Lead-Contaminated Residential Sites Handbook (Handbook), August 2003 (this document can be found at https://www.epa.gov/superfund/lead-superfund-sites-guidance); and all other guidance used by EPA in conducting remedial action (Appendix A);

• Hazardous Waste Operations Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) 29CFR 1910.120 / 29CFR 1926.65; and

• this PWS.

Definitions of key terms used in the PWS are included in Appendix B.

The remedial action is being conducted pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and National Contingency Plan (NCP) requirements. Tasks described in this PWS are consistent with the ROD and the NCP. These response actions are necessary to protect human health and environmental risks posed by exposure to contaminated soil containing lead and arsenic.

For the purpose of this project, the portion of OU2 that will be addressed as part of this PWS will commonly be referred throughout the PWS as the “residential cleanup”.

2 Background

2.1 Site Description

The Jacobsville Neighborhood Soil Contamination Site is located in the City of Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana (Appendix C). The site was named the Jacobsville Neighborhood Soil Contamination Site because the contamination was initially found in the Jacobsville neighborhood of Evansville; however, after further investigations, EPA found that contamination extended to other areas of Evansville. The site consists of residential soils contaminated by lead and arsenic.

Land use within the site boundaries is a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The area also includes schools, churches, playgrounds, parks, and small businesses. The Jacobsville site and the associated remediation, however, is restricted to residential properties and those properties to which residents and children may have frequent access, such as schools, playgrounds, parks, and day care facilities. These types of properties are referred to as “high-access” properties in the ROD, the remedial design, and other site documents.

2.2 History of Contamination

In 2000, as a follow-up to a removal action at a plating shop in the Jacobsville neighborhood, Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) collected soil samples in the neighborhood near the plating shop and analyzed them for metals using a portable X-ray fluorescence device (XRF). Results showed elevated lead concentrations in a number of residential yards. IDEM identified four former facilities that may have contributed to the contamination at the site: Blount Plow Works (operated from the 1880s to about the 1940s), Advance Stove Works (operated from approximately the 1900s to the 1950s), Newton-Kelsay (operated from approximately the 1900s to the 1950s), and Sharpes Shot Works (operated from 1878 to an unknown date). It is believed that airborne dust, soot and smoke from plant operations deposited lead on neighborhood soil. Arsenic may have been deposited by airborne dust from foundries, the burning of coal, and from other industrial processes.

Based on initial sampling, the Jacobsville site was originally defined by IDEM as bounded to the west by Edgar Street, to the south by Lloyd Expressway, to the east by Heidelbach Street, and to the north by Iowa Street. Operable Unit 1 (OU1) coincides approximately with the original IDEM site boundaries and is bounded by Mary Street to the west, Iowa Street to the north, Elliot Street to the east, and Division and Illinois Streets to the south (Appendix C). OU1 encompasses 141 acres and approximately 500 residential properties and is where the facilities listed above and thought to be the possible sources of the contamination were located. Previous remedial action within OU1 cleaned up 263 OU1 properties.

Based on additional sampling conducted by EPA in 2004, 2005, and 2006, OU2 (Appendix C) was defined as extending outward from OU1 and covering approximately 4.5 square miles. At least 12 different neighborhoods, including the Jacobsville neighborhood, are encompassed in whole or in part by the OU2 boundaries. Of the approximately 10,000 residences in OU2, it is anticipated that approximately 4,000 will require cleanup based on information in the ROD dated September 2009.

This PWS focuses on the phases of OU2 beyond project seven which is presently underway. Example remedial design drawings are provided as part of the Request for Proposal (RFP) for informational purposes only. The actual remedial design drawings for properties to be remediated may be different but will require the same level of effort.

2.3 Selected Remedy

The ROD finalized in September 2009 sets forth the selected remedy in order to accomplish Remedial Action Objectives (RAO) for the site.

The RAO for the Jacobsville site is to control concentrations of arsenic and lead in residential soil that present a human health risk by minimizing the potential for dermal contact, ingestion, and inhalation exposures. The RAO is to be achieved by excavating and disposing of residential soils above the following risk-based cleanup levels based on site-specific background levels and the Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for the Jacobsville site:

• The site-specific cleanup level for lead is 400 ppm, based on the Integrated Exposure Uptake Bio-kinetic (IEUBK) modeling of site data. The cleanup level for lead corresponds to a less than 5- percent probability of the child population at the Jacobsville Site having Blood Lead Levels greater than 10 micrograms per deciliter (μg/dL), which is the recommended target per EPA guidance.

• The site-specific cleanup level for arsenic is 30 ppm, based on risk assessments and site background concentrations of arsenic. The cleanup level for arsenic corresponds to an ELCR of 1 × 10-4, which is within the range of 1 × 10-4 to 1 × 10-6 required by the National Contingency Plan.

As described in the ROD, the major components of the selected remedy for OU2 include:

• Residential soils containing concentrations greater than the arsenic and/or lead cleanup levels will have the soils excavated to the depth that the elevated concentrations were found, up to 18 inches. If physical barriers exist, such as large trees, soil will be excavated around the barrier to the extent possible. Engineering controls will be implemented during the remedial action to prevent exposure to lead and arsenic from dust created by the excavation of the soils. Building foundations, permanent walkways and fixtures will not be affected by the soil excavation.

• Once excavation is complete, clean fill will be placed in the excavated areas and the lawns will be returned to as close to their original condition as possible.

• Excavated soils will be transported to a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D landfill. This remedy assumes that the excavated soil will not be characterized as hazardous waste.

Based on a PAH background study performed at the site in 2015, using IDEM Office of Land Quality (OLQ) 2016 Screening Levels for Direct Contact with Residential Soils for PAHs (http://www.in.gov/idem/landquality/2395.htm) is more appropriate for screening clean fill than EPA Regional Screening Levels (RSLs) which have been used at the site for previous work. Therefore, when testing for the suitability of backfill, the concentrations of PAHs in backfill selected for the site shall not exceed these IDEM screening levels. Additionally, the Contractor shall not use the previously employed river backfill source along the Ohio River that did not meet backfill requirements for this project.

The Contractor shall haul contaminated soil directly to a landfill in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Stockpiling or staging of contaminated soil overnight may be permitted with approval from the USACE Contracting Officer Representative (COR) if the following conditions are met:

• contaminated soil is stockpiled or staged indoors;

• the location is not within a half mile of a school, park/playground, or child care;

• air monitoring is performed to ensure no offsite migration of contaminants; and

• the area used for stockpiling is cleaned after use to minimize cross contamination.

USACE expects the Contractor to follow the EPA guidance for lead-contaminated residential soils (Superfund Lead Contaminated Residential Sites Handbook; EPA, 2003) for the remediation of individual properties, including removal of drip zone (see Appendix B) soils that are accessible in the opinion of the Contractor’s Site Superintendent.
