Equipment Decontamination

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for a contractor to provide decontamination services for a bead blaster and its associated equipment located at the 158th FW in South Burlington, VT. The primary objective is to remove trace amounts of hazardous waste, specifically heavy metals (EPA codes D006, D007, D008, D035, F003, F005), from a machine decommissioned in 2016 and slated for shipment to DOD inventory. The contractor must supply all necessary personnel, equipment, and materials, including hazardous waste containers, while the government will dispose of the generated waste. The project has a performance period not exceeding one week, with services performed Tuesday through Friday during specific hours. Key requirements include developing a Quality Control Plan, adhering to strict safety and health protocols (including continuous air monitoring for Cr VI exposure), removing porous surfaces, and employing decontamination methods like triple rinsing and HEPA-filtered vacuuming. The contractor must comply with OSHA, EPA, and Vermont environmental regulations, and provide a statement confirming hazardous waste removal. Security and access procedures for the military installation are also detailed.
