AI Summary
Description
The FAA has a requirement for engineering services necessary to perform remedial investigation (RI), and remedial action (RA) activities at multiple Environmental Cleanup (ECU) Program sites and areas of concern (AOCs), at 16 different AOCs, at the former Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Station on Annette Island Reserve, Alaska. Special Considerations: - This project will be performed on the Annette Island Reserve which is under the authority of the Metlakatla Indian Community (MIC). Interested vendors must have had experience in the last 10 years with the regulations of the Metlakatla Indian Community Environmental Council as well as, experience working within the Metlakatla Indian Community policies for worker and business permits, as well as materials purchase. - MIC requires all visitors to apply for a visitor permit. Visitors who will be in the community for longer than two weeks will need to apply for a residency permit. - All excavation backfill material must be purchased from MIC. No organic materials, including seed mixes, can be brought to the island. - Global positioning system (GPS) service and telecommunications are unavailable in many areas on the Metlakatla Peninsula. Satellite communications, mobile GPS antenna stations, walkie-talkies, and/or other technology resources may be needed to verify target locations, allow for communications across Contractor teams and with FAA representatives, and ensure safety of the field team. - Most sites are historical in nature and no longer serve to support FAA's National Airspace System (NAS). Most sites were abandoned and/or demolished by the FAA in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. While significant clearing occurred at many of the target sites in 2023 and 2024, the Contractor should anticipate that considerable overgrowth (mostly alder and brush) or new growth is present at these sites. - The Contractor must abide by all applicable laws, codes, regulations, and guidance, and is required to perform all work in full compliance with federal, state (as applicable outside Annette Island), and local laws, codes, and regulations. The Contractor must ensure that all activities executed by their personnel, subcontractors, and suppliers are in full compliance with said laws, codes, regulations, and guidance. Any incident of noncompliance must immediately be brought to the attention of the FAA CO. Nothing in this SOW relieves the Contractor of their responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. - Prior projects encountered multiple issues due to the logistics of getting sample shipments off Annette Island and onto Gravina Island to be transported to the laboratory. The weather, airplane schedules, ferry schedules, staffing reductions and freight office closures at Alaska Airlines, can all impact the transportation of sample shipments. The 200mg/kg concentration for the MIC cleanup level for DRO and RRO makes…
