R -- REGIONAL OVERSIGHT CONTRACT (ROC) FOR ZONE 3 SOL W500823G3 DUE 092295 POC Contact Point, Deborah Darry, (202)260-8576, Contracting Officer, Richard D. Medlin, (202)260-3205 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to competitively procure Regional Oversight Contract (ROC) support services for the Zone 3 National Program for Federal Facilities Enforcement. Federal facility oversight is conducted under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly referred to as Superfund, and specifically under Section 120 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. Additionally, EPA has the responsibility for assuring compliance with and corrective action under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA) at all Federal facilities. This contract will be used to support EPA's oversight and enforcement of both CERCLA and RCRA activities at Federal facilities within the geographical boundaries of Zone 3. The Zone encompasses EPA Region V (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin), Region VI (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas) and Region VII (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska). The successful offeror will be required to provide support in the following areas: I. Site-Specific Project Management: help plan and monitor response actions at Federal facilities; II. RCRA Compliance Activities: 1) provide technical support to EPA in conducting inspections at Federal facilities, 2) oversee, in concert with EPA, various phases of each RCRA corrective action, and 3) provide technical evaluation of the RCRA compliance status of a facility; III. Site Assessment Support: 1) provide technical review of pre-National Priority List Preliminary Assessments/Site Inspections, 2) prepare, for EPA review, the full Hazardous Ranking System documentation packages, and 3) review revisions and information provided by Federal agencies to EPA's Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket; IV. Oversight of Federal Facility Investigation and Response Activities: 1) help monitor and oversee remedial investigation/feasibility study activities, 2) provide technical review and comment to EPA on detailed design plans and specifications for implmenting selected remedies, 3) oversee, in concert with EPA, the management of construction services for remedy implementation, 4) provide review and comment on shop drawings and proposed change orders, and 5) provide technical support to EPA during the oversight of post-construction activities; V. Other Technical Assistance: provide technical support for negotiations, litigation/expert witnesses, community relations, and sampling and analysis. Offerors should be aware that they may be required to obtain security clearances to work on specific Federal facilities. For purposes of this procurement, EPA considers an offeror to have significant potential for conflict of interest if that offeror currently holds a prime contract or subcontract to provide response action contract (RAC) services on a Federal facility anywhere in the U.S. for any Federal agency or department other than EPA. Conversely, it is permissible for an offeror's team subcontractor to hold a prime contract or subcontract to provide RAC services on a Federal facility for any Federal agency or department other than EPA. However, due to the significant potential for conflict of interest during contract performance, the team subcontractor will be prohibited from providing ROC services on any Federal facility owned or operated by a Federal agency or department, other than EPA, with which it holds a prime contract or subcontract to provide RAC services. A response action contract is defined as any written contract or agreement to provide any CERCLA removal or remedial action, or to provide any investigation, evaluation, planning, engineering, surveying and mapping, design, construction, or equipment related to such response with respect to any release or threatened release of a hazardous substance or pollutant or contaminant from a facility, or to implement a RCRA corrective action. The contract will have a two-year base period with three one-year options. Each period of performance will have an option to increase quantity by 5O%. The Total estimated Level of Effort (LOE) for this procurement including all options is 65,145 hours for Region V; 77,750 hours for Region VI and 30,480 hours for Region VII. The following is the estimated LOE workload distribution among the various Government departments for the Zones. Region V (Air force = 30%, Army = 33%, Navy = 5%, Department of Interior = 5%, epartment of Energy = 20%, Miscellaneous/New sites = 7%), Region VI (Air force = 30%, Army = 30%, Navy = 15%, Department of Interior = 5%, Department of Energy = 20%, Miscellaneous/New sites = 0%), Region VII (Air force = 0%, Army = 65.9%, Navy = 0%, Department of Interior = 0%, Department of Energy = 24.5%, Miscellaneous/New Sites = 9.6%). The anticipated award date is April 1996. This is not a request for submission of proposals. A formal Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued to interested firms on or about September 22, 1995.
