This announcement constitutes the only solicitation: quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) FA2550-99-Q0456 is the solicitation number, the solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). (iii) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-13 and Defense Acquisition Circular 91-13. (iv) This acquisition is set aside 100% for small business. Standard Industrial Code 8734 applies, with a dollar standard of $5 million. (v) CLIN 0001 Assaying services, to determine the extent of soil contamination, characterizng site hydrogeology and the presence and extent of any groundwater contamination, preparing a CAP for the site, as well as providing deliverables as detailed in Section 5 of SOW. (vi) Statement of Work 1. Introduction 1.1. General 1.1.1 The JNTF Site, situated at building 720, is located inside the secured area of Schriever AFB. Currently, the property is the operating location of the JNTF, the Joint National Test Facility, a tenant organization at Schriever AFB. During the project to rebuild the B/720 service elevator, JNTF personnel discovered that a subsurface release of hydraulic oil from the elevator cylinder shaft, approximately 70 feet below ground surface, had occurred. 1.1.2 In discussions with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) after the notification of the release, it was determined that as the hydraulic fluid release was neither a RCRA hazardous waste, nor a release from a regulated storage tank, and that jurisdiction of the site rested with the Solid Waste Management Section of CDPHE. The Solid Waste Management Section uses as guidelines the procedures set forth in the publication _Information Regarding the Management of Petroleum Contaminated Soil_ published by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, 29 Feb 1996. During meetings with the Solid Waste Section of the CDPHE, it was agreed that a modified site characterization procedure consisting of limited slant soil borings should be sufficient to address a risk-based approach to the site. 2. SUMMARY OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED 2.1 A minimal corrective action plan (CAP) will be developed for remediation of the site (and groundwater if necessary) if, based on the extent of contamination, it is determined that remediation alternatives should be evaluated. This determination will be made by 50 CES in consultation with the contractor and appropriate regulatory agencies, as necessary. The CAP will be prepared in accordance with the State Inspector of Oils format, in coordination with the Colorado Department of Health & Environment (CDPHE) Solid Waste Section, and contain the information stated in (7CCR 1001-14, Article 5-3). The tasks for this project shall include determining the extentof soil contamination, characterizing site hydrogeology and the presence and extent of any groundwater contamination, and preparing a CAP for the site, as well as providing appropriate deliverables as detailed in Section 5 of this document. This project will be phased as described in Section 3.0 below. 3. Specific Tasks 3.1. Task 1 _ Determine the Extent of Soil Contamination 3.1.1. The contractor shall develop a work plan (WP), and a sampling and analysis plan (SAP) that describes the sampling and analysis and QA/QC procedures to characterize the extent and concentrations of the soil contamination. Upon approval of the work plan by the 50 Civil Engineering Squadron / Environmental Flight (CES/CEV) Point of Contact (POC), the contractor shall collect soil samples and submit them to an analytical laboratory for analysis for TEPH using oil and grease using Method 413.1 (Assume at this time, that it is possible to determine the extent of contamination with Task 1 of this SOW and that groundwater is not impacted, e.g. Task 2 is not necessary.) A technical information report shall be prepared to document the results of the investigations. The report will be used if Phase II and/or III of the project are necessary. 3.2. Task 2 _ Characterize Hydrogeology and Extent of Groundwater Contamination 3.2.1 The contractor shall confirm, through a literature search, the depth to groundwater and groundwater flow direction. If the results of Task 1 indicate that groundwater could be or has been impacted, the contractor shall determine the presence and extent of groundwater contamination. 3.3. Task 3 _ Prepare Corrective Action Plan 3.3.1. The contractor shall prepare a minimal CAP for remediation of soil at the site, (and groundwater if necessary) if Tasks I or II of the project indicate that remedial alternatives should be evaluated. The determination as to whether a CAP is necessary will be made by 50 CES/CEV after a review of the technical report completed under Task 1. If required, the CAP shall be prepared in accordance with the State Inspector of Oils required format in coordination with the CDPHE Solid Waste Section, and contain the information stated in 7CCR 1001-14, Article 5-3. The CAP will incorporate information from the previous tasks and include the following: An evaluation of the extent of contamination in the soil and water in accordance with criteria cited in Section 1 of this SOW. The extent of contamination will be determined through investigations conducted under Tasks I and II. The physical and chemical characteristics of the petroleum product, including its toxicity, persistence, and potential for migration; The hydrogeologic characteristics of the site and the surrounding area; The proximity, quality, and current and probable/possible future uses of nearby surface water and groundwater; The potential effects of residual contamination on groundwater; An exposure assessment for all potential receptors of contamination; Either: -A plan for remediation of soil and/or water which is sufficiently protective of humanhealth and the environment and includes a plan for confirming the effectiveness of the remediation; or -A groundwater monitoring plan approved by the CDPHE Solid Waste Section; or -- A request for site closure or no further action; A technical and economic feasibility study examining alternative remediation methods, their costs, and expected effectiveness, and an explanation of selected remediation methods expected, costs and expected effectiveness; and A schedule for implementing the CAP. 4.0. Meetings/Teleconferencing will be coordinated with Ken Nevling at 719-567-4027. LGCA Representative will be kept notified of scheduled meetings and provided a copy of meeting minutes. Meetings may be held via teleconference. 4.4 DISTRIBUTION OF DOCUMENTS The contractor shall be responsible for distribution of documents to other interested parties or regulatory agencies. 5.0. Deliverables 5.1 Phase I: A project WP shall be provided within 14 calendar days of the kick-off meeting. The WP will establish a timeline forthe meetings, deliverables, and the field work. It will also document (by reference, if appropriate) previous investigations and/or other plans pertinent to the project (i.e., HSP). 5.2. Phase I: Sampling and Analysis Plan. A draft SAP shall be provided to 50 CES/CEV within 14 calendar days of the kickoff meeting. The plan shall provide details on parameters to be analyzed, sampling points, and analytical methods to be used, including QA/QC methods. An amendment to the SAP shall be incorporated, detailing changes made as a result of Air Force comments, prior to initiation of field activities. 5.3. Phase I: Within three weeks of receipt of analytical results, a technical information report will be submitted to 50 CES/CEV documenting Task I activities and findings. This document will be amended if Phase II activities are conducted. 5.4. Phase II: As indicated in item 5.3 above, an amended technical information report will be submitted to 50 CES/CEV if Phase II activities are conducted. 5.5. Phase III: Corrective Action Plan. The contractor shall prepare a CAP in accordance with the State Inspector of Oils required format, and contain the information stated in 7CCR 1001-14, Article 5-3. The contractor shall prepare a draft for review by 50 CES/CEV; a draft final for review by CDPHE Solid Waste Section and/or OIS; a response to regulatory agency comments; and a final CAP. The draft CAP shall be submitted to 50 CES/CEV within 30 days of receipt of the analytical data. The contractor shall assist in resolution of agency comments.
