These are the steps installation managers should take to place a task order on these environmental contracts.

• Performance standards and acceptable measures. Tell the contractor what you'll measure and how you'll know that the product or service is good.
• Requirements for security, installation access, camera passes, and site access.
• A brief overview of the installation environmental program relevant to the task order: Compliance universe (for example, is the facility or site permitted, compliance size in regulatory terms), significant physical facilities (such as treatment plants, boilers, or waste storage facilities), number and type of compliance sites at the garrison, government and contract staffing responsible for managing the program.
