General Information: The 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron/Environmental Contracting (772 ESS/PKB) at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), Lackland, TX, may be asked to provide engineering, restoration and construction services to achieve Site Closeout (SC) through remedial action at Edwards Air Force Base, CA. Project Narrative: The 772 ESS/PKB is considering a performance-based approach for Site Closeout (SC) involving remedial action efforts at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Performance-Based Remediation (PBR) emphasizes results in terms of environmental clean-up for an entire installation (fence-to-fence), or group of installations, in lieu of a study-based approach. The PBR approach looks for technically and cost-effective methods for achieving this clean-up by focusing on achievement of desired objectives without specifying the processes or technologies for obtaining those objectives. The PBR initiative has an overarching goal to implement remedies as necessary to protect human health and the environment that maximizes the number of SCs or advance sites as close to SC as practicable during the Period of Performance (POP) in a cost effective manner. It is desirable to the Government that Life-Cycle Costs (LCC) be reduced. If SC with no new institutional controls is not obtainable within the POP of this effort, the Contractor shall outline the Optimized Exit Strategy (OES) that will be implemented to accomplish SC. The POP is estimated at 120 months from date of award. The estimated Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) anticipated for any resultant contract is between $140,000,000 and $170,000,000. This ROM is an estimate range and is provided only for informational purposes of responding to the RFI.
