1. What is the current contract value?

Government Response: The current contract value will not be disclosed. However, for reference, a similar project (36C25720P1260) for annual cooling tower cleaning was awarded for $131,753 in August 2020 for a base year plus four option years.

2. Do all contractor personnel on site have to be OSHA certified or can just one be certified?

Government Response: Section “G” of the SOW states- “Job Safety Training (i.e. OSHA, safety meetings, etc.) 30 Hour OSHA Construction Safety Course – competent person.

10 Hour OSHA Construction Safety Course – all others”.

3. Can towers at other buildings be cleaned on weekends or is it only Building 171?

Government Response: All towers except building 171 can be done any day of the week as long as a VA Operator is on duty and temperature allows. Building 171 can only be done on weekends or holidays as stated in the SOW.

4. Is there a temperature requirement for cleaning the towers?

Government Response: 55 degrees or lower, with a few possible exceptions.

5. Does the “competent person” need to be onsite through the duration of the cleaning or can they be on stand-by?

Government Response: Whoever is performing the cleaning must be a “competent person” and must be onsite during the job.
