Rodney Wilson Contracting Officer Gas Landfill Monitoring Services Solicitation 36C24621Q0191 Questions.

1. Are there any badging or training requirements that need to be completed by the contractor prior to fieldwork mobilization? If so, approximately how long would these requirements take to complete?

Based on the frequency of the fieldwork, there is no requirement for badging or training.

1. Please describe the reporting, if any, that is required for the monthly monitoring of well LGW-5s. Will the results of this monitoring need to be reported monthly, as performed, or included in the quarterly gas monitoring report, or both?

The results shall be included in the quarterly gas monitoring report. The monitoring requirement is quarterly.

1. Is having two field staff to perform the sampling a VA requirement or is it permissible for a single field staff to perform the landfill gas sampling?

Determination of the appropriate staffing is at the discretion of the contractor. The work site is on a portion of the campus that is not continuously visited by or in view of medical center staff. The bidders should base their staffing on their own work and safety policies.

1. Will the Government have a gas monitoring instrument available for use or will contractor have to provide?

The contractor will be responsible for providing all equipment and instrumentation necessary to perform the monitoring.

1.

During the site visit, we were not able to view a well (water or landfill gas) as a key was not available to unlock the well. Please provide a photo or describe the type of connector that the landfill gas monitoring instrument will need to connect to obtain a sample. This is needed to ensure we arrive with the right equipment/accessories to perform the sampling?

This statement is incorrect. No participant at the site visit requested to have a well opened. A key was available throughout the site visit had this been requested. A photo of the connectors is attached.

1.

During the site visit, we were not able to view the location or nature of the manhole or any of the buildings where landfill gas monitoring is to be performed. Please describe the nature of the sampling that occurs at the manhole—does this involve a confined space entry or is the sample collected from the surface, or other? Does removal of the manhole lid require tools, such as an impact wrench, to unscrew bolts or other types of fasteners?

The storm manhole location is shown on the attached site map located between LGV6A and LGV7A. A photo of the manhole cover is attached. This is a standard manhole cover and does not require special tools to remove. Sampling occurring at the manhole is per VA DEQ requirements and in compliance with SWP362. Means and methods to sample in compliance with VA DEQ requirements and the permit are means and methods of the contractor.

For reports and other deliverables, are printed and bound copies required, or will electronic/digital documents be allowed for submittal both to the VA and to Virginia DEQ?
