REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST
NUMBER W9126G-18-2-SOI-4896
PROJECT TO BE INITIATED IN 2018
Project Title: Field support of the Hazardous Material, Hazardous Waste, and
Enterprise Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Support-Management
Information System (EESOH-MIS).
Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential
investigators for a project to be funded by the US Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC),
which provides professional and technical support for its Integrated Natural Resources
Management Plan (INRMP) in order to facilitate successful implementation of the 16 USC 670c-
1 Sikes Act. Approximately $708,485.00 is expected to be available to support this project.
Additional funding may be available for optional work this fiscal year and in subsequent fiscal
year to the successful Recipient/Awardee.
Background:
Provide specialized environmental program/technical support to complete the following tasks:
Pollution Prevention, Environmental Compliance and Restoration, and Training.
Type of Award:
In accordance with the Sikes Act (Sec. 103A [16 USC 670c-1]) “the Secretary of a military
department may enter into cooperative agreements with States, local governments, Indian Tribes,
non-governmental organizations, and individuals” This project is in support of the Integrated
Natural Resources Management Plan, as directed in the Sikes Act, and as a result, it is anticipated
that a cooperative agreement through the CESU program will be awarded. Such awards may be
administered through a CESU only upon mutual agreement and official authorization by both
parties of the acceptance of the application of the CESU Network IDC rate (17.5%).
Note: Must be a non-federal partner in the CESU Unit to be qualified to be considered
Brief Description of Anticipated Work:
This anticipated work focuses on the following objectives:
The tasks in support of the AFCEC Environmental Center of Excellence are specified below:
a. Pollution Prevention
i. Provide consultation support, training, site visits to identified installations,
and data analysis to identify hazardous material and waste management
efficiencies for restoration, cleanup, pollution control, energy conservation,
and environmental compliance projects and provide tertiary support and
advise in the development of environmental regulations, policies, and
procedures. On a quarterly basis, the NFE shall develop a technical report
to consolidate data analysis findings.
ii. Collect industrial process definitions for entry into the AF Enterprise
Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health Management Information
System (EESOH-MIS) while providing on-site support on military lands.
In minimizing the degradation of natural resources, provide accurate
tracking, and identify the application of best business practices to minimize
negative impacts on military lands.
iii. Identify industrial processes where hazardous materials are used, provide
minimization recommendations, and reduce associated hazardous waste
generation.
iv. Provide solutions to environmental problems during on-site assessments
and analyses and offer best business practice solutions to minimize risk and
hazard. Incorporate findings into Quick Reference Guides.
v. Assist the AF in ensuring compliance with all installation, local, state and
federal environmental laws and regulations; guidance on identifying
hazardous materials and hazardous waste, assist with preparation of reports
and environmental assessments and impact statements
b. Environmental Compliance and Restoration
i. Provide telephonic support, training, site visits to identified installations,
and data analysis to identify potential pollutants in the air, water, and soil
with accurate identification of hazardous materials and proper
characterization of hazardous waste in order to mitigate their damage if
introduction has occurred.
ii. Identify and recommend solutions to environmental problems during onsite
field work and assessments. Document findings and recommendations
into site-specific assessment reports.
iii. Analyze EESOH-MIS data to ensure installation compliance with DoD
components, local, State, and federal environmental laws and regulations.
Develop an EESOH-MIS Data Analysis Report to identify compliance
risks, opportunities for improvement, and corrective actions.
iv. Provide field assistance to installations identified in Attachment 1 on
identifying hazardous materials and characterization of hazardous waste,
preparation of regulatory reports, and assistance with environmental
assessments and impact statements.
c. Training
i. Update, maintain current, and provide training for the Enterprise
Environmental Safety and Occupational Health Management Information
System (ESSOH-MIS). Training will be conducted at the Air Force
Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson AFB for four week-long class
sessions. Three week-long training sessions will be delivered at regional
Air National Guard Training Centers and two week-long training sessions
will be delivered at a regional Air Force Reserve Command location.
Additionally, four monthly training sessions will be developed and
delivered from San Antonio to remote attendees via a web-based system.
ii. Develop and provide via web-based system, intensive, individualized
training required for new and changing technologies, such as computer
application, geographic information systems, remote sensing, global
positioning systems, etc. Training will be developed and delivered from San
Antonio to remote attendees. Two training courses will be developed for
delivery four times each
iii. Assist with the implementation of training programs necessary to promote
better land utilization, natural resource conservation and to educate the
military user community in the field on environmental aspects of training.
