However, work may also be added and performed anywhere within the LANTDIV Area of Responsibility, and other locations, as required by the Government. The contract will provide for remediation of any media contaminated by solvents, petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL), metals, acids, bases, reactives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), and pesticides. Along with these more commonly encountered contaminants some sites may require remediation of radiological or ordance waste, or unexploded ordnance. These contaminants may be present in soils, sediments, groundwater, air, sludge, surface water, or man-made structures. The contaminated sites may be landfills, hazardous waste treatment storage and disposal facilities, tanks, lagoons, fire fighting training areas, plus other facilities. The contract will be a Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF), Indefinite Delivery/Quantity (ID/IQ) type contract, with a ceiling of $250 million. The contract term will be a base period of one year, with four one-year option periods. The solicitation will contain FAR clause 52.217-5 "Evaluation of Options".
