Environmental Restoration and Remediation of the former EnergyTechnology Engineering Center Site

The Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Management ConsolidatedBusiness

Center (EMCBC) Office of Contracting, intends to issue a sole source

modification to extend the period of performance under contract

DE-AC03-99SF21530 with The Boeing Company (Boeing) to provide interim

services

to safely and economically maintain and monitor the Energy Technology

Engineering Center (ETEC) site during the period required to complete the

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) for Area

IV

of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL). On May 2, 2007, the U.S.

District

Court for the Northern District of California (Natural Resources Council et

al.

v. DOE et al.) issued a decision which directed DOE to complete an EIS and

ROD

for Area IV of the SSFL. The EIS and ROD for Area IV SSFL is being

performed by

CDM, A Joint Venture (CDM) under a task order with DOE with completion

scheduled for December 31, 2010. The current period of performance for

contract DE-AC03-99SF21530 with Boeing ends September 30, 2008. The

required

period for which the contract will be extended will end September 30, 2011.



A partial Termination for Convenience for contract DE-AC03-99SF21530 was

issued

by DOE to Boeing on July 18, 2007. Consistent with the remaining services

required by the contract, the services required for the extension period

are

necessary to perform facilities operation and site support services. These



services include, but are not limited to, the following:



Work associated with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

Facility

Investigation Report development, including characterization and document

preparation in response to the State of California Environmental Protection



Agency Department of Toxic Substance Control Consent Order for Corrective

Action (Docket No. P3-07/08-003, Aug 16, 2007);



Work associated with the requirements to retrieve and produce all

historical

documents and records, including photographs, maps, figures of SSFL and

surrounding areas, data table summaries, and bibliographies, as required by

the

State of California Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic

Substance Control Consent Order for Corrective Action (Docket No.

P3-07/08-003,

Aug 16, 2007);



Perform all environmental monitoring within Area IV of the SSFL as

required

by regulations, statutes, and DOE policy;



Provide support to the DOE EIS contractor (CDM), including but not

limited to

providing data from past sample analysis for Area IV of the SSFL;



Place all buildings into a safe shutdown mode, ensuring that all

buildings

are maintained in a safe and stable configuration through completion of the



extension or facility removal;



Complete disposition of waste generated prior to July 18, 2007 (the date

of

the Termination for Convenience), or newly generated wastes resulting from

maintenance, monitoring, analyses or characterization activities; and



All safety and health, landlord activities, program support and waste

management, and all other related activities as described in the Statement

of

Work for contract DE-AC03-99SF21530.





The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is

Section 303(c) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of

1949,

as amended by the Competition in Contracting Act (41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1)),

implemented under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a) which

authorizes other than full and open competition when the supplies or

services

required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, and

no

other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The

present contract with Boeing is due to expire on September 30, 2008. The

contract extension will only include the services needed to (1)

economically

maintain and monitor the ETEC site in a state that assures the protection

of

the workers, the public, and the environment; and (2) comply with all

applicable laws and regulations and DOE policy. Continuation of site

services

through September 30, 2011 will facilitate fulfillment of the May 2, 2007

U.S.

District Court for the Northern District of California (Natural Resources

Council et al. v. DOE et al.) decision which directed DOE to complete an

EIS

and ROD for Area IV of the SSFL.



During the extended period of performance for contract DE-AC03-99SF21530,

DOE

will conduct a competitive acquisition for remediation activities required

to

complete closure of ETEC site.
