2 SOW 7.6

Is mold expected? If mold is visible and/or discovered, how should we proceed?

The SOW was developed with the expectation that mold is not present. This is based on brief visual inspections performed by other contractors, comments from mold remediation specialists, and BLM's experience. The thought is that the Red Rock environment is dry enough that mold will not be present.

If mold is found it would be considered a changed condition and would have to be dealt with through a contract modification.

8 SOW 7.1

Is there a maintence requirement for the Rodent

Company? For example, once the intial extraction and cleanup is performed will they be required to check the site for X amount of days/months, or does BLM have a pest company that will immediately perform this work perhaps per a maintence IDIQ?

BLM has an existing pest control contract for all facilities at Red Rock excluding the Adminitration Bldg. Once the contractor has completed all tasks related to this solicitation, BLM will add the building to the existing pest control contract. It will be the contractors responsbility to remove rodents, feces and urine from the Admin building during the period of performance.

For instance if the Contractors rodent control specialist clears/cleans the Administration fo rodents, feces, and urine in accordance with the approved work plan before all other contract work has been completed, it will be the Contractors responsibility to maintain a rodent, feces, urine free building unitl all the contracted work has been completed.
