This Statement of Work outlines the federal requirement for environmental remediation at the 36th Logistics Readiness Squadron Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants Compound at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The primary objective is to clean up contamination from a fuel release near Building 26200 and the Pumphouse 1 Generator. The selected contractor must provide all labor, equipment, and materials to execute two primary tasks: 1. Soil Remediation: Excavating, field-screening, packaging, and disposing of up to 10 cubic yards of fuel-contaminated soil, followed by confirmation sampling and site restoration. 2. Liquid Waste Removal: Removing and disposing of up to 1,500 gallons of fuel-mixed wastewater from the Product Recovery Tank at Pumphouse 1. The contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary utility clearances, such as an AF103 Digging Permit, and securing base access within three days of contract award. Excavation must continue until field testing and certified laboratory analysis confirm that contaminant levels meet the Tropical Pacific Environmental Screening Levels. Once the government approves the confirmation results, the contractor must backfill the site with clean, certified fill material and restore it to its original grade. Key deliverables include daily field logs, chain-of-custody forms, laboratory reports, waste disposal manifests, and a final closeout report due within ten calendar days of site restoration.
