The Department of the Army, US Army Corps of Engineers, Albuquerque District has a requirement for an environmental remedial services contract for Groundwater Monitoring and Interim Remedial Measures Operations and Modification for the Bulk Fuels Facility (BFF) site at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), New Mexico.

N/A

• The services include planning, permitting, regulatory compliance, collection of contaminant, geochemical, lithologic, hydraulic, and mechanical data; interpretation of chemical data sets to make assessments of contaminant nature extent and degradation processes; use of operational data to generate optimized system designs; perform remedial treatment system operation and install system upgrades; produce technical documents capable of withstanding subject matter expert scrutiny.
• Regulatory Expertise: The service provider shall have demonstrable regulatory expertise necessary to assessing New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) regulatory requirements under numerous regulatory criteria and in achieving regulatory concurrence on submittal documents. The provider must have experience that demonstrates compliance with NMED requirements under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The provider should have verifiable experience complying with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as well as State and Local governmental requirements of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the Clean Air Act of 1963, and the Clean Water Act of 1972.
• Environmental Remedial Expertise: The service provider must have demonstrable expertise in groundwater and petroleum remedial system design, installation, and operation. An environmental chemist and risk assessor are required to perform data validation on site monitoring and to determine human health and environmental impacts of KAFB releases. Database management is a critical task requiring management of thousands of lines of analytical data each quarter and providing database submittals to the Air Force Environmental Restoration Program Information Management System (ERPIMS). A broad foundation of expertise in organic contaminant fate and transport properties as phase separated liquids, vapor, and dissolved phases through vadose zone and aquifer media is required for successful operation of groundwater interim measures. A groundwater modeler with demonstrable experience in generating finite element models of sufficient complexity to simulate measured head and contaminant transport in dynamic well fields is required for interim measures quantitative assessments. A team of groundwater remedial design experts is required to maintain the existing interim measures system in compliance with regulatory and DoD quality requirements. Expertise in microbial and geochemical properties affecting petroleum hydrocarbons and halogenated compounds is necessary to operation, maintenance, and optimization of the existing remedial system.   The provider must demonstrate these requirements are met in the capabilities and past performance.
• Remedial Design and Operation: The service provider must be able to plan, design, install, and operate groundwater remedial systems at federal facilities, such as KAFB. The service provider must demonstrate a history of satisfactory performance in compliance with administrative, security, contractual, and financial requirements of contracts for the DoD. Design, install, and operate wells, conveyance, and water purification systems capabilities must be demonstrated.  The service provider shall have sufficient local staff (as prime or subcontract) or be able to mobilize staff to the Albuquerque New Mexico metropolitan area for the duration of the 5-year period of performance. Experienced water treatment operations and facilities maintenance staff must be demonstrated by past performance.
• Document Preparation and Public Outreach: The service provider must be able to produce highly technical document, data, simulations, and design deliverables. The current project produces more than 65,000 pages in document deliverables annually that include assessments of remedial operation compliance and performance, proposed remedial actions, and site characterization. The service provider must demonstrate sufficient capabilities with a broad range of technical, editorial, and production capabilities to meet stringent document quality and aggressive schedule requirements.   The service provider must be able to translate highly technical material to the public in the form of stakeholder and public meeting presentations on a regular interval.
