Description of requirement for Coso Hot Springs Monitoring, Analysis and Report



Purpose, Overview and Background



The purpose of the Coso Hot Springs Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting project is to monitor changes associated with the Coso Hot Springs (CHS) and is required in a 1979 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the U.S.

Navy and Native American tribes. This project is part of an ongoing Coso Monitoring Program.



Overview

The purpose of yearly CHS Monitoring reports is to document changes in the physical and chemical parameters related to CHS Archeological District, and thereby gain insight into the geology and hydrology of the near-surface geothermal activity in the CHS area. Establishing an unambiguous and quantitative baseline allows comparison of conditions over a period of multiple years.



Background



The Coso Monitoring Program was initiated by the U.S. Navy Geothermal Program Office (GPO) in 1978 to gather baseline data on the surface and near-surface thermal activity at Devils Kitchen and Coso Hot Springs: the main active thermal features associated with the Coso geothermal area located within the Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS), at China Lake, California.

The GPO, while located at China Lake, is a division of the Public Works Department of the Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (EXWC), a naval command established in 2012 and located at the Naval Base Ventura County, in Port Hueneme, California.



Performance Work Statement (PWS)



The Scope: Yearly reports: the Contractor shall prepare yearly reports based on the CHS Monitoring Program. These reports will summarize the analysis of the results determined from the data collection for monitoring of selected physical and chemical parameters from the CHS area. These reports must incorporate the data collected by the GPO and transmitted to the Contractor. Report(s) shall cover the reporting period(s) as outlined below:



a.

1st Report: includes data for January 2015 – December 2015 (deliverable for CLIN 0001), the base year of the purchase order.



b. 2nd Report: includes data for January 2016 – December 2016 (deliverable for CLIN 0002), if Option Year 1 is exercised.



c. 3rd Report: includes data for January 2017 – December 2017 (deliverable for CLIN 0003), if Option Year 2 is exercised.



d. 4th Report: includes data for January 2018 – December 2018 (deliverable for CLIN 0004), if Option Year 3 is exercised.



e. 5th Report: includes data for January 2019 – December 2019 (deliverable for CLIN 0005), if Option Year 4 is exercised.



NOTE: Project Schedule as Planned for the Base Year and Option Years (60 months, total)



Delivery dates for the reports above are indicated in Attachment A.

The Government anticipates that all of the necessary data, consisting of six data sets annually, will be delivered to the Contractor within the first month after the end of the data collection year (calendar year). Although the project schedule does not commence until the beginning of calendar year 2016, the Government intent is to award the purchase order before the end of federal fiscal year 2015. Hence, the base year for the purchase order (CLIN 0001) would commence no later than 30 September 2015, for a 12-month period.



Option Period 1 (CLIN 0002), if exercised, would commence no later than the anniversary of the award of the purchase order, if the option is exercised. That same pattern for the option years following Option Year 1 would continue (if all options are exercised) with subsequent planned option years, not to exceed a 60-month maximum for the total term of the purchase order.





Place of delivery: The GPO is located at China Lake, California, at the Naval Air Weapons Station. The address is provided below. It is expected that all reports and any other information pertinent to the services rendered will be delivered electronically, by Email.



Location of inspection and acceptance: Deliverables for this procurement will be inspected and accepted at China Lake, California.



For further information: see the complete Solicitation N39430R151720 available within this Combined Synopsis/Solicitation posting. Note that the Place of Performance will only be knowable when an award is executed. The Place of Performance remains unknown until a Successful Offeror is selected because all the work will be done at a contractor facility, not at a government facility.
