Work issued under this SATOC will use Service (Contract Act). Detailed Explanation of Specialized Tasks: Trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) are a significant part of the remediation at Camp Stanley. TCE and PCE containing chemicals were used at Camp Stanley primarily as a degreasing agent for metal and electronic parts and two groundwater plumes extend off of the installation into several dozen private water wells. The health effects from TCE differ depending on the amount of TCE to which a person is exposed and how long the exposure lasts. TCE exposure can be associated with several adverse health effects, including neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, developmental toxicity, liver toxicity, kidney toxicity, endocrine effects, and several forms of cancer. PCE is a central nervous system depressant, and PCE exposure can be associated with liver and kidney damage. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set maximum contaminant levels for TCE and PCE at 5 parts per billion. Camp Stanley is regulated by both US EPA (under a 1999 RCRA 3008h order stemming from the solvent plumes) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Because of the TCE contamination, several specialized skill set are required. Camp Stanley installed a large bio-reactor remediation pilot to treat TCE contaminated groundwater in 2008. Unlike most bioreactors, this one treats deep groundwater (as deep as 400 feet deep in fractured Edwards karst limestone). Westbay wells are also used. Additionally, Camp Stanley uses soil vapor extraction (SVE) technology at several sites. There are also vapor intrusion study and protection issues in buildings at Camp Stanley arising from the TCE contamination of the groundwater. Camp Stanley also requires expertise in SCADA, a supervisory control and data acquisition system. It is an industrial control system: a computer system monitoring and controlling water distribution on the installation, including water being injected into the bioreactor IAW a TCEQ Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit. Another specialized requirement is the need to address extensive lead contamination in soils from decades of small army range operations, which are still ongoing. Camp Stanley has used Phosphate Induced Metal Stabilization (PIMs) to treat lead contaminated soils at many of its sites, some involving many hundred cubic yards of soil, and intends to use PIMS at more sites in the future. Camp Stanley also requires unexploded ordnance disposal services as part of many of its remediation sites. While only small arms (and some grenade and rocket) use is conducted now, historically, many different munitions had been used at Camp Stanley, such as Stokes mortars and a wide range of artillery shells. Finding 37 mm and 75 mm rounds at remediation sites is not uncommon. Lastly, another specialized need is for all fulltime personnel and project managers to have at least a secret security clearance. The installation stores large quantities of arms and ammunition and has sensitive missions, thus access to the installation and security clearance requirements for long-term personnel are much more restrictive than most military installations. Estimated SATOC Capacity: $49,900,000 Estimated 1st Task Order for environmental services at Camp Stanley: Between $3,000,000 and 4,000,000 SATOC Term: Ten (10) years (five year base and five 1 year options) North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code(s) applicable to this acquisition: Primary NAICS Code = 541620 Environmental Consulting Services.
