Performance-based contracting (PBC) is frequently used for implementing environmental cleanup work at federal facilities under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP). The Federal Facilities Subcommittee drafted the position paper to identify challenges States continue to face and provides ASTSWMO positions and recommendations for improving the PBC process. The paper also includes a checklist to assist all parties involved in the development and implementation of PBC at federal facility cleanups. This document updates and replaces ASTSWMO’s March 2017 position on PBC at federal facilities with additional examples of challenges and recognizes the U.S. Air Force for utilizing the ASTSWMO PBC checklist as a template in its contracting process.

Performance-based contracting (PBC) is frequently used for implementing environmental cleanup work at federal facilities under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP). The Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO) has produced two white papers on the subject: “Performance Based Remediation Contracts and Compendium of State Lessons Learned – A Guide to Performance Based Environmental Remediation, November 2004,” and “State Perspectives on the Use of Performance-Based Contracting at Federal Facilities Cleanups, August 2010.” Both papers provide recommendations for improving the PBC process.
