RADON MITIGATION IN BUILDINGS 75 AND 77

POINT REYES NATIONAL SEASHORE

BACKGROUND:

Point Reyes National Seashore (PORE) is a unit of the National Park Service (NPS) with Headquarters in Point Reyes Station, CA. Park buildings identified as buildings 75 and 77 have proven to have high levels of Radon through local testing measures. Radon levels in the buildings ranged from 4.0-8.0 pCi/L. PORE requires that mitigation measures be installed in the two buildings that will reduce radon levels to EPA’s radon mitigation post remediation level of

4.0 pCi/L radon.

Buildings 75 and 77 provide office space for the Buildings and Utilities Branch, the park Preservation Crew and Law Enforcement staff. Radon testing identified a radon levels of 6.0 and 6.7 in the office areas of the buildings.

Building #75 was constructed in the 1940’s. It is a two-story structure with a footprint of 4,300 square feet. No construction plans are available, so conditions beneath the foundation are unknown.

Building #77 was constructed in the 1940’s. It is a two-story structure with a footprint of 4,000 square feet. No construction plans are available, so conditions beneath the foundation are unknown.

Both buildings have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

TASKS:

After award, Contractor shall provide pre-work submittals as required under contract, such as proof of insurance, Safety Plan, Quality Control Plan, etc.

Contractor shall provide preliminary results of sub-slab diagnostic testing of both structures.

Contractor shall provide basic plan outlining proposed construction methods for NPS review and approval (NPS will review and evaluate impacts to the historic fabric of the structures).

Contractor shall provide basic floor plan identifying proposed installation of equipment for NPS review and approval (NPS will review and evaluate impacts to the historic fabric of the structures).

Contractor shall install Radon mitigation systems.

Contractor shall prepare and submit Final Report to NPS: Upon completion of the installation work, the Contractor shall provide a Final Report summarizing all field activities including conclusions and recommendations.

Contractor shall provide (either as an appendix to the Final Report or a separate report) operations, maintenance and warranty information on installed systems. Include detailed photos of pre-existing conditions, work performed, and final conditions. Photos shall include unit numbers and written descriptions as necessary.

Contractor shall coordinate Post Testing by an independent third party: Following the installation of radon mitigation systems, coordinate the performance of radon tests in each unit in accordance with EPA Guidance (EPA 402-R-93-003) by an independent third party. The radon test shall be a continuous monitoring system which will measure the radon levels over a minimum period of 91 days. If the results of the test exceed 4.0 pCi/L, the Contractor shall take immediate corrective action in order to reduce radon levels within the required threshold, then re-test system(s). Repeat process until radon levels are within the required threshold.

SCOPE:

In accordance with the terms and conditions herein, the prime contractor and any sub-contractors shall perform the work of this contract for the NPS under the following assumptions:

Contractor will provide all material, equipment, parts and labor required to perform all of the work of this contract.
