a. USACE Organizational Functions for OE Response Contracting.

(1) OE Design Center.

(a) The OE Design Center will evaluate its contract requirements and solicit and award OE

response contracts as needed. Items to consider include customer needs, project workload,

reasonable contingencies for unknown requirements, resources available within the government,

and private sector capabilities.

(b) When a removal action is transferred to a district, the OE project team will determine

whether the OE Design Center or the district will award the contract. The OE MCX must review

and provide comments for safety and technical adequacy on all contracts for OE actions. The

project file will contain full documentation regarding the decision reached on project execution

strategy including actions taken to address each issue.

(c) The OE Design Center will perform all contracting actions for TCRAs and sites

containing ordnance for which the risk of accidental detonation is unusually high. Sites with

unusual risk include impact areas, test ranges or open burn/open detonation sites where

scatterable mine systems and other sensitive electronically fuzed ordnance items have been

disposed or fired. Such sites also include manufacturing and disposal facilities that have been

subjected to accidental fires or explosions and require remediation.

(d) The US Army Corps of Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (USAESCH) OE

Design Center will perform all contracting actions for non-stockpile CWM sites.
