This requirement was fulfilled by the authority in FAR 6.302-5(b)(4) sole source awards under the 8(a) program 15-U.S.C. 637. Below is the scope for this requirement: PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT Remedial Action - Construction Cape Romanzof Long Range Radar Site (LRRS), Alaska 11 August 2015 1.0 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Cape Romanzof was one of the original 12 Aircraft Control and Warning sites built in the 1950s in Alaska as part of an air defense communications system (USACE 2013). In 1958, a White Alice Communications System (WACS) was activated and operated until 1979. The Cape Romanzof WACS was deactivated and replaced by an Alascom-owned satellite earth terminal in 1979 (USACE 2013). In 1982 and 1983, the remaining military personnel were inactivated and replaced by contractor personnel to maintain the Joint Surveillance System equipment. Personnel numbers were further reduced in 1985 when the Minimally Attended Radar (MAR) was activated. All unnecessary facilities were demolished by 1988. The Cape Romanzof LRRS currently serves as a MAR site and is part of the Alaska Radar System managed by the 611th Air Support Group. The United States Air Force's (USAF) Cape Romanzof LRRS is located within the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge in western Alaska, approximately 540 air miles west of Anchorage, 165 air miles northwest of Bethel, and 170 air miles southeast of Nome. It sits on a small peninsula extending into the Bering Sea. The nearest towns to Cape Romanzof LRRS are Scammon Bay (population 498) and Hooper Bay (population 1,137), which are approximately 15 miles east and south, respectively. The communities are not connected to Cape Romanzof LRRS by road; however, winter trails provide some access to the facility. Cape Romanzof LRRS includes 4,900 acres of land that have been divided into two areas, the Lower Camp and the Upper Camp. The Lower Camp lies at the head of an alpine tundra valley next to intermittent streams, which drain into a perennial stream, Fowler (Nilumat) Creek. The Upper Camp is situated atop Towak Mountain, a high ridge directly above the head of the valley. The mountain top Upper Camp is linked to the Lower Camp by a gravel road and tramway year- round.
