PROJECT INFORMATION: These indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity environmental remediation services (ERS) contracts will provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with the capability to execute Hazardous Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW), Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP), Compliance, Operation and Maintenance, and Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint abatement projects. The contracts will support the South Pacific Division environmental professional services within the South Pacific Division civil and military geographic boundaries. These boundaries include the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and parts of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas. See website www.spd.usace.army.mil for a map. This work will include investigation activities that may include, but are not limited to, the following: drilling, soil vapor surveys, geophysical surveys (including but not limited to electromagnetic, ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity, and seismic), well and/or instrumentation installations; vadose zone fluid/air flow measurement; aquifer testing; sampling and analysis of soil, sediment ground water, surface water, hard surface, tank/drum contents, air and soil vapor; performing surface and borehole geophysics; excavation of test pits/trenches; sampling and testing of geotechnical materials; munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) avoidance; habitat studies; remedial investigations; feasibility studies; pilot testing; and asbestos and lead-based paint surveys. Sampling and analysis for a wide variety of parameters may be required to determine the physical, chemical, biological, and radiological properties. Contract deliverables for investigations may include, but are not limited to, permanent or temporary field installations (i.e., monitoring wells), reports, logs, maps, drawings, and sketches. Analysis and interpretation of data shall be performed as appropriate to accomplish the intent of the individual task orders. Specific requirements will be included in individual task orders. Appropriate deliverables associated with each of these activities shall be prepared and submitted to the contracting officer for approval as required. A wide variety of potential remedial action activities include, but are not limited to, containment, removal, treatment (on-site and off-site), transportation, and disposal. The entire spectrum of contaminants may be involved, including hazardous, toxic, radioactive, biological, munitions and explosives of concern (MEC), and explosive constituents or any combination thereof. Ordnance, chemical warfare materials (CWM), and agent breakdown products may also be encountered. These contaminants may occur in various environments including soils, sludge, liquids, air, water, debris, structures, and various containers. (CWM remediation is not within scope for this action.) Potential remedial action activities include, but are not limited to, removal of hazardous building components (equipment with nuclear sources, light fixtures and ballasts, asbestos insulation, etc.) and debris; removal and/or decontamination of biologically contaminated components (bird excrement, fungal growth, etc.); removal, transportation and disposal of hazardous and/or contaminated soil, water or product; innovative in-situex-situ soilgroundwater clean-up technologies (i.e. steam injection, thermal enhancement, subsurface treatment barriers, etc.) and investigation technologies; construction of underwater sediment caps and associated activities, construction of landfill caps, slurry walls, slurry walls/subsurface barriers, and landfill closure activities, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) will be required under this contract. O&M activities may consist of preparation of O&M manuals, start-up and prove-out, trouble shooting existing systems, O&M of existing operations and treatment system improvements to address optimization of performance requirements. Typical systems or processes likely to be encountered are groundwater treatment systems, soil vapor extraction and treatment systems, bio-venting, soil treatment processes and systems, waste storage areas, and other remedial activity, treatment system or process. Compliance activities include: preparation of required Federal, State, local, or agency environmental and safety/health compliance related documentation such as facility surveys, studies, management plans (hazardous waste, hazardous materials, underground storage tanks, etc.); spill prevention plans, pollution prevention plans and documents, air emissions inventories, Emergency Planning Community Right to Know reports, hazardous waste minimization, and hazardous waste reports; the set up, demonstration and evaluation of a pilot treatment process; preparation planning documents related to the correction of compliance related deficiencies; NEPA and CEQA adherence, natural and cultural resources preservation, historic preservation, ecosystem management and air space/range analyses; corrections of compliance related deficiencies through the demolition, construction and/or repair of real property such as renovations to facilities to create or close permitted hazardous waste storage areas, construction of containment berms, treatment of contaminated soils and groundwater, and the modifications to and/or the installation of pollution control equipment. The contractor shall have the capability to develop CADD drawings. Work will predominantly be within the South Pacific Division's area of responsibility but could occur in other states as required by specific Federal Agency customers or at the direction of USACE Headquarters, as determined by the Contracting Officer. 3. CAPABILITY STATEMENT 1) Offeror's name, address, point of contact, phone number, and email address. 2) Offeror's capability to perform a contract of this magnitude and complexity, and examples of comparable work performed within the past 5 years - (a brief description of the project, the customer name, timeliness of performance, customer satisfaction, and dollar value of the project); Primary disciplines required are contract management, civil, structural, hydraulic, geotechnical, OE Specialists, and cost engineering.
