1. The PWS asks for a Quality Control Plan (QCP), please confirm that the QCP can be provided after the award.

Answer: The QCP is to be provided with the Contractor’s proposal and included as an evaluation factor.

2. Does the fit testing need to be conducted by a CIH or an industrial Hygienist can do it under the guidance of a CIH?

Answer: The fit testing must be conducted by a Certified Industrial Hygienist.

3. Please clarify the contractor work hours mentioned in Section 5 (8 hours) are for all the sites to do the testing or just maximum allowed in a day for a single testing event? Is it 8 hours at each site or total of 8 hours to do testing at all sites. The sites are spread out over 400 miles in traveling distance.

Answer: This is JUST the maximum allowed in a day for a single testing site. If possible, the Certified Industrial Hygienist can complete testing at 2 sites and meet the 8-hour requirement.

4. Will all the sites be tested each month or will there be rotational policy with Danville VA being center and rest of the sites every other month or so.

Answer: Most of the fit testing will be required to be completed at the Danville location. Each site may require once a month or even once a quarter fit testing.
