PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement For Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity

Environmental Services and Remedial Action Operations for BRAC Legacy Sites Former Fort Devens, Devens, Massachusetts

February 2019

1.0 Site History

This is a non-personal services firm-fixed price contract to provide environmental remediation services for multiple cleanup sites under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) at the former Fort Devens Army Installation and Former Sudbury Training Annex.

Former Fort Devens is located approximately 35 miles northwest of Boston, Massachusetts (MA). Originally a temporary cantonment area known as Camp Devens, the post came into existence on September 5, 1917. In 1932, the camp was declared a permanent installation and it was formally dedicated as Fort Devens. Fort Devens included a Main Post, North Post and South Post consisting of 9,300 acres.

The former Sudbury Training Annex, which is located 22 miles south of Former Fort Devens within the towns of Hudson, Stow, Maynard and Sudbury, Massachusetts, was annexed by Fort Devens in 1982 for training and included 2,300 acres.

In 1991, theBRAC Office recommended that Fort Devens’ active duty mission be eliminated and a small reserve enclave and training area be maintained for use by the Reserve and National Guard. On March 31, 1996, Fort Devens was no longer an active duty installation and was renamed Devens Reserve Training Facility. In May 1996, the Army closed portions of the Main and North Posts.

The Installation was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) on November 21, 1989. In accordance with Section 120 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), a Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) was entered into by the Army and EPA in 1991 and amended in 1996. The FFA contains the basis on which all environmental investigations and remedial actions are required to be undertaken at Devens. The FFA establishes roles and responsibilities for both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Army and lays out a procedural framework and timetable for developing, implementing, and monitoring appropriate response actions at Devens in accordance with CERCLA. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts opted to take a “participatory role” in the Devens remediation efforts and is represented by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP).

The contamination at Devens is associated with historic underground storage tanks/fuel depots and contaminated soils containing petroleum products and chemicals. In 2016, Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), an emerging contaminant of concern, was detected in groundwater at some of the North Post and Main Post sites and its presence is also being evaluated at South Post and the Former Sudbury Training Annex. The Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract will also include any CERCLA work required to address this emerging contaminant, which may include remedial investigations, feasibility studies, and implementation of remedial actions.

Since its placement on the NPL, approximately 4,000 acres of the former Main Post and North Post have been conveyed to the Massachusetts Government Land Bank/ Massachusetts Development and Finance Agency, Devens Commerce Center (MDFA), subsequently renamed and presently known as MassDevelopment (MassDev). South Post was renamed the Fort Devens Reserve Forces Training Area and is currently an active army facility used for munitions training by the Army and law enforcement agencies.

The Former Sudbury Training Annex, was listed on the NPL in February 1990 and later removed in January 2002. In 2002, the land was transferred to other government agencies including U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Air Force, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency with the majority of the land received by the USFWS and is currently a national wildlife refuge.

For all analytical services procured through a subcontractor laboratory under this contract, the laboratory shall report data using the CHEMLAB format. The minimum requirement for the laboratory is the delivery of an error free CHEMLAB EDD and a pdf document file of the laboratory’s final data report. The subcontractor laboratory shall make available any supplemental information (e.g. chromatograms, instrument calibrations, additional EDDs) upon request.

The contractor shall prepare and submit a project eQAPP in the database which is fully compliant with the project QAPP, incorporating all methods, sample types, and quality control requirements for the respective project. The eQAPP shall be supplied to the subcontractor laboratory for screening CHEMLAB EDDs. All electronic data submitted by the subcontracted laboratory is required to be error-free, and in complete agreement with the hardcopy data. The EDD must be submitted/certified (error-free) before loading the pdf to the library.

Unless approved by USACE, the contractor shall use the Automated Data Review (ADR) function within the database. The contractor will ensure that a qualified chemist reviews the ADR output against the PDF report, (if specified in the project QAPP) supplements the ADR output with a manual review, and generates a written data validation report. Upon successful loading of the electronic data deliverable to the database, an Automated Data Review (ADR) process is automatically initiated, which compares the EDD to project guidance (also called an eQAPP). The ADR performs a Stage 2A electronic data review (USEPA data validation code S2AVE) based on criteria specified in the eQAPP. Following the ADR, a data validator shall perform a Stage 2B electronic and manual data validation (USEPA data validation code S2BVEM), which includes comparing the ADR Detail Report against the PDF laboratory report to 1) verify/modify the ADR qualification of the sample results and to 2) supplement the ADR review with a manual review of QC elements that were not included in the ADR review. Once the mark up changes are accepted, the final ADR Data Validation Report is submitted in the library and approved.

You can also contact the USACE, New England District Chemist, Yixian Zhang at 978-318-8730 for further direction.
