Technical Questions and Answers

Q1: The contractor shall be familiar with and comply with the DVAHCS latest Asbestos Management Plan (AMP). Is this available for review?

A1: This will be available for review after award.

Q2: Additionally, Matrix will inspect/assess identified non-friable asbestos-containing materials. Is this left over from some other RFP referencing “Matrix”?

A2: This is a typo and I will amend the PWS to reflect “the Contractor” vs “Matrix”.

Q3: Reporting: The contractor shall complete the Asbestos Six Month Surveillance Form located in Appendix C of DVAHCS AMP to report result conditions of ACM’s PACM’s. Is this available for review?

General: Is a total square footage available for the building?

A3: This will be available for review after the contract award date. The main campus of the facility is 858,463 total square feet, including research, parking decks, etc. (see attachment).

Q4: According to the existing DVAHCS O&M, pipe/pipe fitting insulation, and mastic on pipe insulation are the known friable ACM’s. Is this O&M available for review?

A4: No, but the government has provided the 2017 re-inspection for ACM’s report (see attached).

Q5: States air monitoring required. The project monitor shall be DHHS certified and capable of collecting personal and area air samples …. Other references in document refer to pipe/insulation/etc which would be physical sample. Pricing on cost schedule is for air samples. Are all samples air samples or physical samples?

A5: The schedule does not refer to the samples as “air samples”, all the samples are National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) samples.

Q6: The draft report shall include facility drawing/floor plans noting location of inspected rooms …. Are drawings/floor plan sheets available for review/use?

A6: (see attachment)

Q7: Any data, site drawings and information on the potable water system shall be provided upon request. Are we only to inspect/test piping related to potable water system or any possible ACM?

A7: Any possible asbestos containing material.

Q8: References Richmond VA police. Is this an error?

A8: Yes, this is an error. The PWS shall be amended to correct this error.

Q9: Is there an incumbent? If so, who are they and what was the winning bid, contract number, and SOW?

A9: Matrix Health & Safety Consultants, LLC, $6,500.00, 36C24618P1157. (see attachment)

Q10: Is it possible to utilize a team or subcontractor’s past performance in lieu of our own?

A10: Utilizing a subcontractor past performance in lieu of the prime shall result in a past performance rating of “Neutral”.
