Performance Work Statement (PWS) 1 Introduction

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) – Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory

(CRREL) will be performing Hydrological, Ultraviolet Optical Screening Tool (UVOST), Permafrost, Thermal, and Bioremediation studies at former Navy Arctic Research Laboratory (NARL) sites in Barrow, Alaska; more specifically, the Airstrip and Powerhouse sites. A general vicinity map and location maps for the two sites are attached. The services being requested are in support of Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest’s (NAVFAC NW’s) Environmental Restoration program. This contract will include geotechnical and environmental drilling services to support ERDC - CRREL studies.

1.1 Mission

The current environmental cleanup program at the NARL Airstrip and

Powerhouse sites is monitored natural attenuation (MNA). The information obtained from USACE ERDC-CRREL studies could provide necessary information to allow for effective remediation and planning at the Airstrip and Powerhouse sites.

1.2 Background

The Airstrip site includes a 5,000-foot runway, a large hangar, an apron area, and other buildings. Several fuel spills occurred on the Airstrip site between 1976 and 1986. The Powerhouse site includes Building 342 (former Powerhouse), Building 442, and a construction equipment lay-down area. Four fuel spills were reported at the Powerhouse site between 1952 and 2002. In response to these spills at both sites, several investigations and remedial actions have been and continue to be performed. In 2002, approximately 2268 and 590 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soils were removed and treated via hot-air vapor extraction (HAVE) at the Airstrip and Powerhouse sites, respectively. The treated soil was used to backfill the excavation areas. In 2012, the Navy conducted a soil investigation at the Airstrip and Powerhouse sites, including Ultraviolet Optical Screening Tool (UVOST) probing, to determine the location and magnitude of petroleum compounds that were contributing to increasing trends and cleanup level exceedences in the groundwater. The 2012 Soil Investigation Report and associated Sampling and Analysis Plan will be provided as references and are listed in the Reference Section of this Performance Work Statement.

1.3 Scope

This contract will include geotechnical and environmental drilling services to support CRREL studies at the NARL Airstrip and Powerhouse Sites in Barrow, Alaska.

Required services will include geotechnical and environmental drilling activities which in turn involve: UVOST probing, geotechnical probing/sampling, and monitoring well and thermistor casing installation. Services will also require field reporting UVOST data/results to assist CRREL with targeted additional geophysical exploration and final UVOST data/results reporting after field work is complete.

ERDC-CRREL and the Navy will prepare work plans to be reviewed by the Navy and associated government regulators. The work plans include a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), Accident Prevention Plan (APP)/Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP), and Quality Control Plan (QCP)/Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) in accordance with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command SAP Update on the Uniform Federal Policy Quality Assurance Project Plans (UFP QAPP) – Navy Sampling and Analysis Plans Tiered Approach, dated March 2005, and the Tier II Navy QAPP/SAP, dated February 15, 2011. The Contractor is expected to adhere to these plans and develop their own SSHP for the Work.

1.4 Anticipated Site Surface Conditions

The sites are accessible via motor and foot traffic, however, for the proposed drilling near Imikpuk Lake and the North Salt Lagoon, the Contractor should assume rig mats or other pressure distribution methods will be used in this area (provided by Contractor) to avoid site damage. Several relatively low areas also exist within developed areas which may be soft and wet, which may require pressure distribution methods to avoid site damage.

1.5 Anticipated Site Subsurface Conditions

Barrow, Alaska is located on the northern edge of the Arctic Coastal Plain physiographic province within the Teshekpuk Lake physiographic section. Subsurface conditions could consist of silty, sandy, gravelly man placed fills ranging from a few feet up to 10 feet thick and reportedly placed directly over a natural tundra surface with little clearing or grubbing. This fill is typically underlain by marine beach dune/ridge deposits consisting of interbedded silty sands, sandy silts, gravelly sands, and sandy gravels extending to depths on the order of 5 to 20 feet or more below mean sea level; these deposits could contain interbedded organic, peaty materials along with ground ice features including segregated ice and buried massive ice associated with polygonal ground patterns and ice-wedges, especially within the upper 10 feet below site fill.

Average ice content in the upper 10 feet below site fill typically ranges from 60 to 70 percent by volume, generally decreasing with depth to near-saturation approximately 10 to 20 feet below site fill.

The sites are within an Arctic zone and underlain by continuous permafrost.

Permafrost is defined as that part of the earth’s surface where a temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit has existed for two or more consecutive years. The thickness of the ‘active layer’, or the portion of the ground at or near the surface that undergoes an annual freeze-thaw cycle, is largely dependent upon the type of ground surface cover and snow depth. The active layer in the Barrow area is typically on the order of several inches to 6 feet or more but can exceed 7 or 8 feet depending on ground surface cover.

Relatively shallow groundwater is typically perched above permafrost during the thawing season at these sites; reportedly, groundwater flow at each site is generally towards Imikpuk Lake. Active layer soils are prone to caving during excavation or drilling activities, especially below groundwater. Permafrost soils are generally not as susceptible to sloughing conditions; however, saline permafrost conditions could exist.

Given barrow’s proximity to the coast and possible saline conditions, permafrost soils may have reduced ice bonded strengths at near freezing temperatures. Salinity tends to depress the soil freezing point resulting in unbonded soil particles and behavior similar to thawed soil conditions although the ground temperature may be below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e. permafrost).

2 Performance Requirements The following section specifies the Performance Objectives and Performance

Elements for the contract.

2.1 Tasks

Contractor shall furnish and provide all necessary labor, materials, tools, supplies and equipment, protection, and competent supervision to perform drilling, UVOST probing, sampling, and installation of instrumentation. Contractor shall perform its Work diligently with properly trained and qualified personnel and in conformance with the degree or skill and care ordinarily exercised by other professionals providing the same or similar services under the same or similar circumstances at the time and locality as the Work was provided by Contractor. Additional Terms and Conditions for Explorations, Drilling, and Sampling are attached as Exhibit A and are considered part of the Contract Documents.

Direct push subsurface drilling and sampling technology will be the primary method for geotechnical and environmental drilling activities, including use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) disposable plastic soil-core liners; secondary methods such as hollow-stem auger adapted for use with direct push equipment or continuous sampling may also be used to supplement the primary method and support achievement of Performance Objectives. Boreholes shall be controlled by the Contractor where necessary so that material does not slough, rise, or heave into the hole. As noted, sloughing conditions could exist in boreholes drilled within the active layer and within permafrost, especially below groundwater. The contractor will be required to maintain stable borehole conditions in order to achieve the desired sampling, testing, and instrumentation installations needed for this project. Mitigating excessive water infiltration and/or caving conditions shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

Task 1: Planning Documents

The Work Plan and associated documents, including the Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) and Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) will be prepared by ERDC-CRREL and reviewed by the Navy and associated government regulators. The draft planning documents will be submitted to the Contractor after contract award. The Contractor shall review the draft planning documents and shall prepare their own SSHP to work under.

The Contractor shall perform Work in accordance with approved Project Work Plan, SAP, and Contractor’s SSHP.

The Contractor shall prepare a project Field Work Schedule identifying mobilization, field work, and demobilization dates, including additional schedule(s) for one (1) to five

(5) days of additional drilling. The project schedule shall be developed in coordination with ERDC-CRREL. Field Work, excluding mobilization and demobilization, shall be performed from August 17 through August 30, 2015.

The Contractor’s SSHP and Field Work Schedule shall be submitted for Government review no later than 14 days after Contractor receives draft Planning Documents from ERDC-CRREL. The Government intends for these draft documents to be ready to distribute to the Contractor directly following contract award.

Task 2: Mobilization and Demobilization

The Contractor shall mobilize/demobilize all Contractor personnel, equipment, materials, and supplies required to plan, manage, perform, and document all required Work. The Government will not furnish any equipment, materials, or supplies to

Contractor. The Government will provide on-site facilities (at the Airstrip site) for securing and storing equipment, materials, and supplies during Field Work. All Field Work will be accomplished with one mobilization/demobilization effort to/from Barrow.

Task 3: Environmental Drilling (UVOST Exploration)

The Contractor shall perform Ultraviolet Optical Screening Tool (UVOST) exploration. The primary purpose of the UVOST Exploration is to assess vertical and horizontal extents of residual petroleum contamination at the Airstrip and Powerhouse Sites. The Contractor shall accomplish UVOST exploration at a minimum rate of 15 probings per day and include a minimum 150 UVOST probings and a maximum of 220 UVOST probing in a consecutive, ten (10) calendar-day span. Actual number of UVOST probings will vary based on field results and productivity.

The Contractor shall use the following assumptions when preparing their Proposal:

• UVOST exploration and reporting will be accomplished by a certified UVOST operator provided by Contractor.

• Average UVOST Probing depth will be six (6) feet below ground surface (bgs). Actual probing depth for a particular hole could be less than or greater than assumed average depth. UVOST refusal shall be considered when the probe advance decreases to a rate, mutually agreed upon, which is determined to represent the top of the permafrost table, and prevents damage to UVOST equipment. The Contractor shall record depth to the top of permafrost and refusal depth (if different) for each probing; depth shall be provided to ERDC-CRREL upon request.

• Backfill holes with drill cuttings or imported clean sand/pea gravel except for instrumentation boreholes. Backfill for Instrumentation boreholes is addressed in Task 5: Instrumentation Installation.

• No environmental analytical soil samples will be collected.

• Sampling/testing equipment decontamination will be required between each UVOST probing, as specified in Work Plan documents. Contractor disposal of field sampling wastes will be in accordance with the Project Environmental Protection Plan, Waste Management Plan, and Sampling and Analysis Plan.

• The Government anticipates that 10 (10 hour) days will be required to complete the UVOST exploration. This assumption does not include travel to and from sites each day.

• The Contractor will be required to contact a utility locate provider prior to and/or during the Work. ERDC-CRREL will identify approximate locations for UVOST probing as specified in the Work Plans. The Contractor will select the precise location for probing to avoid site damage and avoid contact with buried structures and utilities, if present.

• ERDC-CRREL Representative(s) will be on-site during drilling to log conditions and document work.

All UVOST data shall meet the following quality requirements:

• Average background fluorescence shall be less than 1.75%.

• The background fluorescence signature shall be obviously discernible from low-level petroleum contamination.

Task 4: Geotechnical Exploration

The Contractor shall perform Geotechnical Exploration. The primary purpose of the Geotechnical Exploration is to assess subsurface conditions through the active layer and into permafrost, assess groundwater conditions and depth, and assess nature and distribution of permafrost soils. The primary sampling method will be continuous, direct-push soil-coring at a minimum sample diameter of 2.5 inches; however, ERDC-CRREL may vary sampling collection depths depending on actual subsurface conditions encountered; targeted coring depths and collection of samples from drill cuttings are possible. Select portions of soil-core samples will be collected by ERDC-CRREL for geotechnical laboratory analyses. The Contractor shall accomplish Geotechnical Exploration at a minimum rate of 90 feet per day and include a minimum of 18 boreholes and a maximum of 35 boreholes in an anticipated four (4) calendar day span.

Actual number of borings will vary based on field results and productivity.

The Contractor shall use the following assumptions when preparing their Proposal:

• Average borehole depth will be fifteen (15) feet bgs. Actual hole depth for an individual hole could be less than or greater than assumed average depth and is anticipated to range from 10 feet to 20 feet bgs.

• The Government anticipates that 4 (10 hour) calendar days will be required to complete the Geotechnical Exploration. This assumption does not include travel to and from sites each day.

• Backfill holes with drill cuttings or imported clean sand/pea gravel except for instrumentation boreholes. Backfill for Instrumentation boreholes is addressed in Task 5: Instrumentation Installation.

• No environmental analytical soil samples will be collected

• Sampling/testing equipment decontamination will be required between each borehole, as specified in Work Plan documents. Contractor disposal of field decontamination wastes will be in accordance with the Project Environmental Protection Plan, Waste Management Plan, and Sampling and Analysis Plan.

• The Contractor will be required to contact a utility locate provider prior to and during the Work. ERDC-CRREL will identify approximate locations for Geotechnical Exploration. The Contractor will select the precise location for probing to avoid site damage and avoid contact with buried structures and utilities, if present.

• ERDC-CRREL Representative(s) will be on-site during drilling to log conditions and document work.

Task 5: Instrumentation Casing Installation

The Contractor shall install groundwater monitoring wells and thermistor string casings. Monitoring well casing will be installed in either Geotechnical Exploration boreholes or separate boreholes, as determined by field exploration results and required borehole diameter to accommodate instrumentation casing. Contractor shall install a minimum of ten (10) monitoring wells and a maximum of twenty (20) monitoring wells distributed between both sites, concurrent with UVOST and Geotechnical Exploration Tasks. Actual number of monitoring wells will vary based on field results and productivity.

Contractor shall install a maximum of five (5) thermistor casings in boreholes drilled for UVOST Explorations or Geotechnical Explorations; no additional boreholes will be drilled for thermistor casing installation.

Contractor will provide all instrumentation casing installation supplies and materials; ERDC-CRREL will provide thermistor strings and monitoring well development.

The Contractor shall use the following assumptions when preparing their Proposal:

• A maximum of twenty (20) groundwater monitoring wells will be installed in active layer soils above permafrost. The average depth of each well will be six

(6) feet bgs. Actual depth for an individual well could be less than or greater than assumed average depth. Each monitoring well will be installed in separate boreholes according to the Navy Standard Operating Procedure (SOP): Field Procedure 5 – Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation.

Well materials consist of flush-threaded, 2-inch-diameter, Schedule 40 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) riser pipe, 0.10-inch slot threaded flush joint well screen, end caps, and lockable slip-cover or butterfly well caps.

Minimum annular space between casing and borehole wall shall be 1-inch in all directions.

Surface completion includes nominal 3-foot PVC riser stick-up above grade, lockable cap, and reflective marking for visibility. Reflective marking color will be the same for all monitoring wells.

Backfill annular space from bottom of boring to top of screen interval with drill cuttings or imported clean sand or pea gravel. Install hydrated bentonite chip or pellet seal up a minimum of one (1) foot above top of screen interval. Backfill from top of bentonite seal to ground surface with drill cuttings or imported clean sand or pea gravel.

• Five (5) thermistor casings will be installed in active layer soils and into permafrost. Four (4) casings will be installed to approximately three (3) feet bgs; one (1) casing will be installed to approximately fifteen (15) feet bgs.

Each casing will be installed in separate boreholes.

Thermistor casing materials will consist of 1-inch-diameter Schedule 40 PVC sealed from water or soil intrusion and PVC caps. Minimum annular space between casing and borehole wall shall be 1.5-inch in all directions.

Surface completion includes nominal 3-foot PVC riser stick-up above grade, removable PVC cap, and reflective marking for visibility.

Reflective marking color will be the same for all thermistor string casing; the color shall be different from monitoring well markings.

Backfill annular space with drill cuttings or imported clean sand/pea gravel.

Task 6: Reporting

The Contractor shall submit daily results from UVOST probing during field work.

As a minimum, the Contractor shall prepare and distribute either hard copy or electronic UVOST Field Logs illustrating interval-waveform and select point-waveform results. The field logs shall identify location, number, date, and relative depth for each UVOST probing. ERDC-CRREL representatives will use the Contractor’s daily results to target probing further exploration locations and plan additional geophysical exploration;

ERDC-CRREL will perform geophysical exploration.

Before demobilization from Barrow, the Contractor shall submit all UVOST data files and field notes to ERDC-CRREL representatives. The Contractor shall prepare and submit a draft UVOST exploration report to ERDC-CRREL describing field work, methods and equipment, presenting data results displayed on UVOST logs and site plan maps. The draft report shall also contain Contractor’s interpretation of the results and quality control methods used.

To the extent of Contractor’s and its subconsultant’s negligent or wrongful acts, errors, omissions, or breach of contract, Contractor shall, only to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and hold Government harmless from any claim or liability arising from any the project site damage caused by Government’s and its Contractor’s operations.

Buried Structures. If there are any buried structures and/or utilities on the project site where subsurface explorations are to take place, the Government shall provide Contractor with a plan showing their existing locations. The Government shall contact a utility locator service to request that they identify any public utilities. Contractor shall use reasonable care and diligence to avoid contact with buried structures and/or utilities as shown. Contractor shall not be liable for any loss or damage to buried structures and/or utilities resulting from inaccuracy of the plans, or lack of plans, or errors by the locator service relating to the location of buried structures and/or utilities.

To the extent of Contractor’s and its subconsultant’s negligent or wrongful acts, errors, omissions, or breach of contract, Contractor shall, only to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold Government harmless from any claim or liability arising from cross-contamination caused by Contractor’s and its subcontractor’s operations.

Compliance with Law, Contract Documents, and Safety – Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters dealing with safety in performing Contractor’s work. This includes the safety of all persons and property affected by Contractor’s work, including Contractor’s own employees and all employees of subcontractors that may perform on Contractor’s behalf.

Government shall not be responsible for Contractor’s means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, or safety precautions and programs incident to Contractor’s work (other than those solely and exclusively for Government’s own employees), nor be required to ensure that Contractor complies with any laws and regulations applicable to Contractor’s work, all of which are the sole responsibility of Contractor. This requirement will apply continuously, regardless of time or place, and will in no way be altered because a representative of Government is present at the project site performing his/her duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Government shall never be deemed to have assumed responsibility for site safety for Contractor’s work by either contract or conduct. No act or direction by Government shall be deemed to be the exercise of supervision or control of Contractor’s employees or the direction of Contractor’s performance hereunder. Any direction provided by Government shall be deemed only to ensure Contractor’s general overall compliance with Government’s design concept and this Agreement. No act or direction by Government shall be construed as the acceptance of any services, labor, work, goods, materials, or procedures that do not strictly comply with this Agreement.

Right-of-Entry and Access. Government will determine the approximate location of each drill hole and/or test pit on the site and obtain the necessary rights-of-entry to the site. Where conditions are imposed as a prerequisite of entry, Government will inform Contractor of those conditions, and Contractor shall be solely responsible for complying with them. Contractor shall select the precise locations for drilling or excavating in the general area indicated by Government. Government shall furnish uninterrupted access to and from the site for all equipment, supplies, material, and personnel associated with the work. Where temporary access roads are required to be built, Contractor shall determine the route to the drill hole(s) or test pit(s).

Permits. Government will secure all governmental permits required for operation of drilling and excavating equipment on streets, roadways, or sidewalks. Contractor shall obtain all necessary business and professional licenses, certifications, and registrations necessary to perform its work, including, but not limited to, a contractor’s and well driller’s/operator’s license, if required.

Compliance with Law. Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, and state, local laws, regulations, standards, and codes pertaining to the construction, sampling, instrumentation, and decommissioning of wells, soil borings, and test pits.

Inspection by Government. Drilling and sampling of test pits shall be accomplished only in the presence of a representative of Government.

Drilling and Sampling Procedure. After Contractor has selected the precise location for the drill hole, the hole shall be advanced by any method satisfactory to Government, and shall not disturb the material to be sampled at the bottom of the hole.

The hole shall be controlled by Contractor where necessary by use of water, drilling mud, and casing so that material does not cave, rise, or heave into the hole. The methods used must prevent groundwater contamination. At depths as indicated in this Contract, and as otherwise requested by a representative of Government, samples of the material below the bottom of the hole, or at other locations, shall be obtained by Contractor using methods approved by Government.

At all times, Contractor shall proceed in such a manner as to prevent contamination of the ground or groundwater, which may result from the spillage of drilling lubricants or fuels and similar substances. In addition, Contractor shall take necessary steps to prevent any cross-contamination between aquifers during drilling. Contractor shall backfill all drill holes in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

When appropriate, Government may specify backfill procedures and materials different from the suggested minimum standards;

nevertheless, Contractor shall take the necessary steps to meet or exceed the applicable standards. After each drill hole is completed, Contractor shall backfill in such a manner that the edges of the hole will not cave in and the backfill will not settle.

Should the hole backfill settle, Contractor shall immediately refill the hole to the ground surface.
