The information to be obtained under this contract is to include, at a minimum, all information outlined in ASTM 50.20.2 and all other applicable regulations (i.e., DON 5090.1b orrine Corps equivalent). Sampling required under this work may include, but is not limited to, collection of air, sediment, surface soils, surface water, subsurface soil or ground water samples and subsequent analysis (including QA samples) usingstandard EPA procedures. The work will also include preparation of work plans, site safety plans, sampling plans, quality assurance plans, and a summary report with recommendations and estimated cleanup costs. Phase II work, if deemed necessary, mayinclude, but is not limited to: collection of additional data concerning the areas of potential concern such as soil sampling/boring, sediment sampling, biota sampling, surface water sampling, groundwater sampling, air sampling, boring logs, wellconstruction data, water level measurements, and soil gas testing. The work will also include preparation of work plans, site safety plans, sampling plans, quality assurance plans, and a summary report with cost estimates and recommendations for futureaction. The A&E must demonstrate his and each key consultant's qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors for all services. Evaluation factors (1) through (6) are of equal importance; factors (7), (8) and (9) are of lesserimportance and will be used as ''tie-breakers'' among technically equal firms.

The contract scope may require evaluation, definition and disposal of solid hazardous wastes; (2) Professionalqualifications and technical competence for EBS and Phases I/II assessment described in evaluation factor (1) of the present technical staff in environmental engineering, civil engineering, environmental chemistry, geological and hydrogeologicaldisciplines. The firm and staff will be evaluated on: (a) active professional registration; (b) past Navy and DOD experience on projects addressed in evaluation factor number one; and (c) ability to manage multiple projects at various stages ofcompletion and maintain quality and established schedules.
