SERVICES REQUIRED: Multi disciplined A-E services are required for general A-E design of environmental pollution projects and other Environmental Services in any areas where the Europe District has a mission. Primary use of contract is expected to be within Germany. The primary focus of work under each of these contracts will be preparation of biddable environmental design packages. Designs for both pollution prevention type environmental projects (including but not limited to the construction, upgrade or repair of facilities such as hardstands, sewer lines, gas stations, hazardous material storage area, and POL separators) and to a lesser degree design of remediation of soil and groundwater contamination) and abatement or remediation of other hazardous materials ( such as asbestos containing materials, PCS, lead, radon and dioxin) may be required. It is intended that the other environmental service requirements would cover all four of the Army's environmental pillars -- Compliance, Restoration, Prevention and Conservation. Some of the work that could be requested includes but is not limited to: (1) Evaluation of professional reports and performance of environmental studies covering a broad range of activities e.g. air, wastewater, soil and groundwater pollution, asbestos containing materials and pollution prevention facilities (POL separators, hard stands, hazardous waste storage areas, etc.); landfill evaluations, and other hazardous materials including but not limited to PCB, lead, radon and dioxin. (2) Preparation of environmental planning documents (spill prevention contingency response plans, hazardous communications plans, hazardous materials/waste management plans, hazardous waste minimization plans; potable water management plans, natural and cultural resources plans, asbestos management plans etc.) (3) Evaluation of hazardous wastes/materials storage and contamination. (4) Performance of laboratory analyses and field sampling in all areas of environmental interest (based on the latest U.S. and host nation standards). Work may include drilling wells for soil and ground water investigations. (5) Evaluation of analytical results in view of appropriate U.S. and host nation laws and regulations. (6) Preparation of public information/education documentation, public relations/training seminars, etc. regarding environmental topics. (7) Preparation of translation and/or technical interpretations. (8) Construction Phase Services. SPECIFIC CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance.
