Solicitation No. 140R6018R0005 – Guernsey Powerplant – Surge Tank Recoating Prospective Contractor Questions and Answers

8. Can the NACE III Inspector be an employee of the contractor or must they be third party? Also, is the NACE III Inspector required to be onsite full time during cleaning and painting operations or is spot inspection allowed?

In accordance with specifications Section 099620, Paragraph 1.04.C, the coating inspector shall be NACE CIP Level III or SSPC CPI Level III certified. The coating inspector may be a contractor employee or an independent third party. The coating inspector shall be onsite to conduct the Contractor Field Quality Testing specified in Section 099620, Article 3.08.

9. Specifications call for “Area ambient air monitoring results by EPA Air Method TO- 13A. [Submit] Personal and area air monitoring results for coal tar concentrations during coating removal activities. Air Samples for coal tar components are to be analyzed by EPA Air Method TO-13A….Do not exceed ambient air quality standards.”

A. Will BOR accept monitoring and analysis of occupational exposures by NIOSH method 5042?

B. WDEQ indicates that there are no specific ambient standards for coal tar or its PAH components. What ambient standard would be used?

C. Given that ambient standards do not appear to exist, and that TO 13a is quite expensive, would BOR accept NIOSH 5042 for the other air sampling requirements?

D. Specifications mention that existing coating contains heavy metals. Analytical indicates modest levels of chromium and lead are present (0.1% by weight). Will air monitoring before, during and after the work be required for these metals in addition to coal tar?

Contractor shall perform sampling, testing and monitoring in accordance with specifications Section 028910 for coal tar products and heavy metals.
