- Description
- Engineering Services are required under an indefinite quantity contract for Naval Installations throughout the United States. These Services are required for preparation of Preliminary Range Assessments at Closed, Transferred and Transferring (CTT) Ranges owned by the U.S. Navy. The objective of the Preliminary Range Assessment (PRA) is to determine if a CTT Range poses a threat to public health or the environment, to identify if the nature of such threat is from explosive hazard, constituent contamination, or both and to set priorities for further remedial investigation. In addition, the PRA will identify the need for accelerated, interim remedial actions or response actions should conditions posing an imminent hazard exist. The PRA phase is based primarily on available information but may include limited field investigation as appropriate. The scope of the PRA shall be based on limited DoD guidance for performing response actions on military ranges and EPA guidance for conducting CERCLA PAs, as well as USACE guidance on ordnance and explosive response actions under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) for Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). The PRA shall consist of a limited-scope investigation designed to assess if there is a reasonable probability that the conditions at the CTT range could pose a hazard due to any military munitions, including unexploded ordnance (UXO), and/or other constituents found at the range. Reports will utilize GIS file formats, as specified by the government, to document spatial information associated with the ranges. Other work which may be required at the discretion of the Navy includes revision of the risk assessment code (RAC) for the ranges that have undergone the PRA, sampling and geophysical surveys to confirm or deny suspected burial sites, documentation of areas that require no further evaluation as well as interim response actions including marking, fencing, or removal and disposal of material containing ordnance and/or its constituents. Additionally, at the discretion of the Government, subsequent phases of investigation deemed necessary for site disposition could be required. Firms are advised that work could potentially involve close contact with hazardous materials/wastes and UXO in various settings. Firms unable to accept work in these environments need not apply. In the event that design services are required, the following pre-priced options may be exercised at the discretion of the government: 0 - 35% design, 35 - 100% design and Post Construction Contract Award Services (PCAS) such as shop drawing review/approval, consultation during construction, construction inspection services and preparation of record drawings. Options are normally exercised within several months of completing prior work, however, delays of up to one year are possible. At the Government's discretion, issuance of requests for proposal, submission of proposals and contractual actions such as modifications to the contract, award of individual task orders and modifications thereto will utilize electronic documents. Specific procedures for these processes will be established after award, however, the transmission of documents shall be in accordance with Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 186-2 (Digital Signature Standard) and documents will generally be transmitted in the Adobe Acrobat Format. In addition, the selected firm must have on-line access to email via the internet for exchange of correspondence and information. SIGNIFICANT EVALUATION FACTORS IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE: 1.
