evolving remediation methodologies and innovative contracting strategies (i.e., Rapid Response, Total
Environmental Restoration Contracts), much of USACE's experience with respect to the application of
appropriate labor standards has been developed incrementally. Such determinations have proven
particularly difficult where elements of both construction and service are required. USACE's Rapid
Response contracts, for example, are deemed to be contracts principally for service with provision for
construction activities that may be both substantial and segregable (see 29 CFR 4.116).
b. Typical construction activities at an environmental restoration site may include:
(1) Construction of either temporary or permanent water treatment system.
(2) Excavation, consolidation, capping of contaminated soil, backfilling, regrading, and reseeding of
excavated areas.
(3) Construction of a water distribution system.
(4) Installation of a security fence/warning signs.
c. A service activity can be performed by either professional or non-professional personnel. Typical
service activities at environmental restoration sites may include:
(1) Maintenance, overhaul, repair, servicing, rehabilitation, salvage, modernization, or modification of
supplies, systems, or equipment.
(2) Engineering and technical services.
(3) Operation of government-owned equipment, facilities, and systems.
(4) Transportation and related services.
(5) Research and development.
(6) Chemical testing and analysis.
(7) Data collection and analysis.
