For Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity

Remediation Services Contract Operation and Maintenance and Long-Term Monitoring

1.0 Site History

The contract awarded under this solicitation will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Environmental Remediation Services in support of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), within the geographical boundaries described for the contract and specifically for the Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC), formerly Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR), Impact Area Groundwater Study Program (IAGWSP) at Camp Edwards, Massachusetts. Services provided under this contract will be specified in subsequently issued firm-fixed price task orders for a wide range of environmental services at various known or suspected Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) sites, and Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) sites.

JBCC is an active military installation consisting of approximately 20,000 acres used by several different military, non-military government and private entities. JBCC land is broken down into two major military bases, Camp Edwards and Otis Air National Guard Base (ANGB).

Camp Edwards is the primary training site for the Massachusetts Army National Guard (MAARNG) and other National Guard and Army Reserve units in the New England region. The facilities at Camp Edwards are also utilized by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and civilian agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Civil Air Patrol, the World War II Society and the Youth Conservation Corps.

The MAARNG has leased or licensed portions of the Camp Edwards to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the U.S. Air Force (USAF), the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) and the Otis Fish and Game Club. The USCG operates a transmitter site on the Camp Edwards property and also has six units performing various missions there. The USCG housing and other facilities are also present on Camp Edwards. The USAF, specifically the 6th Space Warning Squadron, owns and operates a facility on Camp Edwards known as PAVE PAWS. PAVE PAWS is a radar facility used to provide detection and warning against sea-launched and intercontinental ballistic missile attacks. The DVA owns a portion of Camp Edwards to maintain a National Cemetery.

The Otis Fish and Game Club utilizes the Camp Edwards property to operate one small arms range. This organization is comprised of mainly retired military personnel and the Camp Edwards Range Control manages the Club’s property.

Investigations into possible contamination at Camp Edwards began in response to community concerns that historic activities might have impacted the groundwater underlying the military installation. The 15,000 acres that comprise Camp Edwards lie over an important recharge area for a portion of the Cape Cod aquifer, known as the Sagamore Lens, which is the principal source of drinking water for the four towns of the Upper Cape: Sandwich, Bourne, Mashpee and Falmouth. In 1997, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began issuing Administrative Orders under the Safe Drinking Water Act, requiring the investigation and cleanup of contamination from military activities. Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) also has been actively involved to ensure that the substantive requirements of state statutes are met throughout the investigation and cleanup.

IAGWSP investigations have looked at the impacts from military and defense contractor activities conducted on Camp Edwards since the early 1900s. These activities included: firing of artillery, mortars, small arms, and other projectiles; demolition training; and the detonation of munitions and explosives. Additionally, burning and burial of munitions and explosives occurred on some of the defense contractor ranges. Initial investigations included the review of historic records and photographs, interviews with former soldiers and workers, and site inspections. To date, the IAGWSP has installed and sampled almost 1,200 groundwater monitoring well screens in over 500 locations. More than 100,000 groundwater and soil samples have been collected and analyzed.

The primary contaminants in soil are explosives, including RDX, TNT and its breakdown products, perchlorate, the propellants 2,4- and 2,6-DNT, nitroglycerine, and metals. Source areas within the Camp Edwards Impact Area and Training Ranges resulted from the detonation, destruction, and burial of munitions, explosives, and propellants, as well as the firing of artillery, mortars, small arms and other projectiles, and demolition training.

Of the areas evaluated as part of the IAGWSP, several locations have been confirmed as source areas that contributed to soils and/or groundwater contamination in the past. Contaminated soils from these areas were excavated and were either treated on site by thermal desorption or alkaline hydrolysis, or disposed of offsite at permitted facilities. In several cases, source areas have contributed to groundwater contamination at concentrations exceeding federal or state drinking water standards or risk-based levels, thereby creating a groundwater plume that requires monitoring and/or remediation. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) has been separated from soils manually, mechanically, and robotically, and has been disposed of by the blow-in place method or in a contained detonation chamber. All of the known source areas, with the exception of the Central Impact Area, have been addressed.

The primary contaminants in groundwater are the explosives compound RDX and perchlorate.

The cleanup levels are 0.6 parts per billion (ppb) for RDX and 2 ppb for perchlorate.

Depending on the levels of contamination and the time it takes for some of the chemicals to naturally break down, groundwater contamination at Camp Edwards is usually addressed by:

focused extraction and treatment, land-use controls or monitored natural attenuation, or a combination thereof. Monitored natural attenuation and land-use controls allow attenuation of contamination through the natural processes of dilution, degradation, dispersion, and sorption

(i.e. binding of contaminants to the soil), and they include groundwater monitoring to verify that the plume is attenuating, or shrinking, as predicted. Land-use controls are regulations, restrictions, and other protective measures to prevent the use of contaminated portions of the aquifer for drinking water; monitoring of land-use controls ensures their effectiveness. Annual reporting on monitoring program results includes changes in plume extent or concentrations, comparisons of real vs. modeled results, and recommendations for improving performance. Five-year reviews are conducted to ensure the remedy is still protective and performing as anticipated.

To treat groundwater contamination, extraction wells are placed within a plume to pump the contaminated groundwater from the aquifer to a treatment plant where the water is filtered through carbon and/or ion exchange resins held in large vessels. Treated water is returned to the aquifer through reinjection wells or infiltration trenches.

The U.S. Army National Guard IAGWSP and the USACE are continuing to move forward with selection and implementation of remedies for addressing groundwater contamination and its sources at Camp Edwards. There are final Decision Documents (DDs) for 13 of the 14 Operable Units (OUs). Per the DDs, the IAGWSP is currently addressing groundwater plumes at five OUs with active treatment systems: Central Impact Area (CIA), Demolition Area 1, J-1 Range, J-2 Range, and J-3 Range. Working in cooperation with the EPA and the MassDEP, the IAGWSP now has a total of 11 treatment systems in place at these five OUs including: CIA (three systems); Demolition Area 1 (three systems); J-1 Range (two systems); J-2 Range (two systems);

and J-3 Range (one system).

Two OUs have No Further Action DDs including. BA-4 Disposal Area and Former K Range.

Six OUs have Monitored Natural Attenuation and Land-Use Controls as the selected remedies including: Demolition Area 2, Gun & Mortar Positions, Northwest Corner, Small Arms Ranges, Western Boundary, and L Range. Final remedy selection is pending for the Training Areas OU.

As requested by the COR, the laboratory shall submit in a timely manner, their ELAP accreditation certificate (including supporting documentation). Before testing services can be performed by the laboratory, the COR will notify the candidate laboratory of the acceptability of their ELAP accreditation and supporting documentation. The ELAP accreditation certificate is to be provided upon each recertification while supporting USACE contracts.

An environmental laboratory, either participating, or engaged in support of USACE contracts, shall notify the prime contractor and COR, immediately of change in status of laboratory operations that may affect on-going compliance with these requirements. The COR may, at any time, conduct audits (including requests for pertinent data or information) that support an environmental laboratory's ELAP accreditation with this policy. If the COR finds the laboratory non-compliant;

alternate, compliant laboratory services will be utilized, until such time as compliance is again demonstrated. Before performing environmental testing for the USACE, the laboratory shall have access to the approved Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) and/or QAPP, as the case may be.

Sample Data Review and Reporting Requirements for Task Orders Related to the

IAGWSP.

All data and documents generated for the IAGWSP shall be submitted to the JBCC Environmental Data Management System (EDMS) in accordance with the formatting requirements and submittal timeframes defined in the most current version of the EDMS Data Management Plan and the Stakeholder Reference Manual. Both documents are available on the EDMS website. For detailed descriptions of the requirements for each of these formats, refer to the most current version of the Data Management Plan, the Stakeholder Reference Manual and all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) developed for the IAGWSP.

Sample Data Review and Reporting Requirements for Task Orders Not Related to the IAGWSP.

For all analytical services not associated with the IAGWSP, unless otherwise specified the laboratory shall report the data in accordance with the most recently published SEDD specification (e.g., specification 5.2), and data MUST be error-free (all SEDD errors MUST be corrected by the contract laboratory). The minimum requirement for the laboratory is the delivery of a SEDD Stage 2a deliverable, a .pdf document file of the laboratory’s final data report, and a hard copy of the laboratory’s final data report. The Contractor’s laboratory shall make available any supplemental information (e.g. chromatograms, instrument calibrations) upon request.

Once the SEDD electronic data files have been received from the laboratory, the Contractor shall electronically review the files to check project data quality requirements using accepted Automated Data Review (ADR) funciton,. The contractor must develop a comprehensive project eQAPP for all of the methods to be analyzed on the proposed non-IAGWSP sampling. The eQAPP will accurately reflect all of the analytical quality and shall be provided to the USACE for approval prior to field sampling. The eQAPP will be provided to the sub-contract laboratory for use in screening the SEDD submittals.

The subcontract laboratory must verify the integrity of the SEDD. SEDD non conformances generated by ADR for which the laboratory is responsible shall be corrected at the laboratory and a new SEDD file shall be resubmitted and reviewed again. The laboratory shall address via a brief explanation in the Non-Conformance Log any non-conformance that is not within their control. The final SEDD file and final laboratory non-conformance report shall be provided to the USACE's chemist for review.

The contractor shall then review the ADR files to check for compliance using the same ADR eQAPP used by the laboratory. The contractor shall provide USACE 1) the reviewed data from ADR as .txt files; 2) the USACE EDMS generated database file(s) in *.mdb format incorporating current chemistry data and corresponding field data via the USACE ftp web site, or some other mutually agreed upon means; 3) the SEDD file and corresponding DTD file; and 4) the laboratory and contractor generated error reports. The contractor shall be required to re-submit the database file to the USACE after any subsequent updates. All postings to the USACE ftp web site shall be accompanied by notification to a USACE project point of contact of said posting.

All electronic data submitted by the contract laboratory is required to be error-free, and in complete agreement with the hardcopy data. Data files are to be delivered by e-mail, high density CD, or ftp site. This deliverable shall accompany a pdf of the hardcopy data reports. The data files must be submitted with a transmittal letter from the laboratory that certifies that the files are in agreement with hardcopy data reports and has been found to be free of errors using the latest version of the ADR.net obtained by the laboratory. The contract laboratory, at their cost, will correct any errors identified by the Contractor or USACE, New England District.

Information on SEDD can be obtained by going to the EPA's Superfund Analytical Services/Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) web site at:

http://www.epa.gov/superfund/programs/clp/sedd.htm.

The Contractor can also contact the designated USACE POC.

Other Electronic Files.

The Contractor must submit all project electronic files associated with all spatial data or modeling, electronic files corresponding to any graphic figures included in the hard copy report deliverables, and text files corresponding to the word processed portion of the hard copy deliverable. These files shall be submitted to the Project Manager or his designee. The Contractor may utilize whichever GIS or CAD based system they select to generate the files; however, the Contractor must submit metadata identifying software type used, version, file format type, date, and other information required to catalog those files with sufficient specificity to allow satisfactory transfer to other users. All spatial data should be consistent with the most current installation map.

Details about the current map and metadata guidelines may be obtained through the Project Manager.
