The contractor shall notify the contracting officer if these measures are required prior to starting work.

• Negative Pressure and Filtration: If required, install and run continuous HEPA-filtered air scrubbers during all cleaning, removal, and disturbance tasks to maintain negative air pressure and clear airborne particulates. The contractor shall notify the contracting officer if these measures are required prior to starting work.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Ensure all personnel are fitted with appropriate PPE (respirators, suits, gloves) in compliance with safety regulations before commencing work.

3.3 Core Cleaning Outcomes (Applicable to Buildings 4116, 2603, & 6902) For each target area listed above, the Contractor shall achieve the following cleaning and sanitation standards:

• Ceiling System Restoration: Assess and remove all affected/damaged suspended ceiling tiles. Clean and sanitize the suspended ceiling grid structure to remove all biological residue.

• Attic and Above-Grid Spaces: Inspect above-grid systems and ducting. If active mold is present, clean, sanitize, and wipe down ducting and attic-space surfaces. If no active mold is found above-grid, execute HEPA-vacuuming and apply a disinfecting fog/spray to the space.

• HVAC Air Pathways: If required, clean and disinfect all supply, return, and exhaust vents and registers in the target rooms.

• Structural Surfaces (Walls and Floors): Execute HEPA vacuuming on all walls and hard surfaces to capture loose spores. Scrub and clean all walls, removing all visible biological growth. Apply a plant-based, non-toxic antimicrobial agent to all walls and floors to inhibit future mold growth. Carry out professional carpet cleaning, incorporating sanitizing agents to eradicate deeper spores.

• Sensitive Equipment Protection & Cleaning (Secure Areas): Carefully apply antimicrobial cleaners and wipe all surface components of computers, peripheral IT gear, desks, tables, and ancillary furniture in secure spaces without damaging electronics. Disinfect and clean all chairs.

• Volumetric Sanitization: If required, conduct Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) fogging using a plant-based, professional-grade antimicrobial disinfectant to neutralize airborne spores and inaccessible surface areas. The contractor shall notify the contracting officer if these measures are required prior to starting work.

• Debris and Hazardous Waste Disposal: Bag, seal, transport, and legally dispose of all contaminated materials (ceiling tiles, cleaning wipes, PPE) in compliance with environmental regulations. Do not leave hazardous biological waste on base property overnight.

3.4 Post-Cleaning Verification and Clearance

• Joint Inspection: The Contractor shall perform a physical clearance inspection in partnership with the Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative / Base Bioenvironmental / Civil Engineer Inspector).

• Clearance Criteria: Zero visible mold, zero residual odors, and a dry, clean physical environment must be verified for successful completion.
