1. Is EPA Universal Certification and BACnet

Operator certification, and Electrical certification mandatory for Mechanical Equipment

Specialist?

A: See in PWS Section 4.3.2 Required

Qualifications; a. EPA Universal Certification for HVAC and Section 4.3.3 Desired

Qualifications; e. BACnet Operator certification;

g. Electrical certification per jurisdiction.

Specific work on refrigeration equipment is not anticipated but an understanding of refrigeration fundamentals is warranted for the safety of maintenance staff, employees, and the environment. If the candidate does not currently have EPA Universal Certificate they will need to obtain it within 6 months of starting. BACnet

Operator certification and Electrical certification per jurisdiction are desired qualifications in the PWS and equivalent experience can be substituted.

2. Can we replace the candidate?

A: Yes. The candidate is an employee of the contractor. The contractor will provide labor to best support the requirements of the Performance

Work Statement. See PWS Section 2.0 Scope.

Ideally the government would like to reduce turnover due to the understanding of the interconnectedness and learning curve of the HVAC and specific laboratory process equipment at the

Seattle site.

3. What are the criteria for Replacement of

Mechanical Equipment Specialist. How many days will the Government provide for the replacement?

A: See previously answered question #7 in

Amendment 1: Failure to demonstrate the mechanical ability, aptitude, and hard and soft skills to perform a wide range of HVAC and industrial process maintenance tasks in a professional laboratory setting with scientists and live aquatic species. If a candidate needs to be replaced it is in the interest of the

Government to accomplish a replacement as soon as possible. If replacement of the candidate is required it should be accomplished within 45 days or sooner if possible and shall be coordinated between the contractor and the Contracting

Officer.
