Title: Quarantine Station Isolation Room Certification

PR #: 57820

POP: 5 Month from Date of Award

I. Background and Need:

The Occupational Health and Safety Office (OHSO) has a multifaceted mission which covers all facilities that have Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) employees stationed at them. OHSO provides leadership, oversight and service for the overarching CDC Health and Safety Program which proactively ensures safe and healthy workplaces at CDC worksites for CDC employees, contractors, and visitors. OHSO promotes health and safe work practices to prevent injury and illness and services, as well as provides direct support services to employees at all levels within the CDC organization on health, safety and environment-related matters while assuring compliance with all the applicable federal, state, and local health, safety and environmental laws and regulations.

The Industrial Hygiene and Safety Branch is a critical partner in the U.S. Quarantine Stations comprehensive system that serves to limit the introduction and spread of contagious diseases in the United States. They are located at 20 ports of entry and land-border crossings where most international travelers arrive. CDC medical and public health officers decide whether ill persons can enter the United States and what measures should be taken to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Isolation and quarantine help protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.

• Isolation separates sick people with a quarantinable communicable disease from people who are not sick

• Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.

Several airports have spaces designated as isolation rooms. However, it is unclear if the space meets the requirements of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standard 170-2021 for Airborne Infectious Isolation Rooms. The purpose of this standard is to define ventilation system design requirements that provide environmental control in health care facilities.

II. Purpose

The purpose of this requirement is to inspect and conduct certification test of isolation rooms at 14 airports based on ASHRAE 170-2021 standard related to Airborne Infection Isolation Room.

If certification is not passed vendor should recommend necessary repairs, processes, adjustments, etc. to align the space with the requirements of ASHRAE 170-2021 standard.

The latest edition of an ASHRAE Standard may be purchased from the ASHRAE website (www.ashrae.org) or via E-mail: orders@ashrae.org.

III. Scope of Work Contractor will inspect and conduct Airborne Infection Isolation Room certification test based on AHRAE 170-2021 requirements of designated spaces at the following major U.S. airports cities:

Atlanta Chicago Los Angeles Miami New York Washington, DC San Francisco

Detroit Houston Minneapolis Newark Seattle Boston Honolulu

IV. Tasks

1. If the contractor does not have a national presence, the Contractor will travel to each site to conduct inspection within one 8-hour business day, Monday - Thursday. Travel for some sites may be grouped together to reduce travel costs. Contractor will receive a contact list for each site to arrange the visit in advance.

2. Contractor will develop a checklist cross walked to the standard and perform inspections based on requirements of ASHRAE 170-2021, related to Airborne Infection Isolation (AII) Rooms to determine if designated space meets certification requirements.

The inspection will include, but is not limited to:

i. Ventilation systems

VII. Special Considerations

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA): Offerors should be advised that any activities involving information collection (i.e., posting similar questions or requirements via surveys, questionnaires, telephonic requests, focus groups, etc.) from 10 or more non-Federal entities/persons, including States, are subject to PRA requirements and may require CDC to coordinate an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Information Collection Request clearance prior to the start of information collection activities. This would also include information sent or obtained by CDC via forms, applications, reports, information systems, and any other means for requesting information from 10 or more entities/persons to disclose information to a third-party or the general public.

(Start of standards) Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility

(a) Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Electronic and Information (EIT) Accessibility Standards (36 CFR part 1194), require that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. Section 508 also requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from a Federal agency, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.

(b) Accordingly, any offeror responding to this solicitation must comply with established HHS EIT accessibility standards. Information about Section 508 is available at http://www.hhs.gov/web/508. The complete text of the Section 508 Final Provisions can be accessed at http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/standards.htm.

(c) The Section 508 accessibility standards applicable to this contract are: 1194.

205 WCAG 2.0 Level A & AA Success Criteria 302 Functional Performance Criteria 502 Inoperability with Assistive Technology 504 Authoring Tools 602 Support Documentation 603 Support Services

In order to facilitate the Government's determination whether proposed EIT supplies meet applicable Section 508 accessibility standards, offerors must submit an HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template, in accordance with its completion instructions. The purpose of the template is to assist HHS acquisition and program officials in determining whether proposed EIT supplies conform to applicable Section 508 accessibility standards. The template allows offerors or developers to self-evaluate their supplies and documentation detail - whether they conform to a specific Section 508 accessibility standard, and any underway remediation efforts addressing conformance issues. Instructions for preparing the HHS Section 508 Evaluation Template are available under Section 508 policy on the HHS Web site http://hhs.gov/web/508.

http://www.hhs.gov/web/508 http://www.hhs.gov/web/508 http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/standards.htm http://hhs.gov/web/508

In order to facilitate the Government's determination whether proposed EIT services meet applicable Section 508 accessibility standards, offerors must provide enough information to assist the Government in determining that the EIT services conform to Section 508 accessibility standards, including any underway remediation efforts addressing conformance issues.

(d) Respondents to this solicitation must identify any exception to Section 508 requirements. If a offeror claims its supplies or services meet applicable Section 508 accessibility standards, and it is later determined by the Government, i.e., after award of a contract or order, that supplies or services delivered do not conform to the accessibility standards, remediation of the supplies or services to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its expense.

(e) Electronic content must be accessible to HHS acceptance criteria. Checklist for various formats are available at http://508.hhs.gov/, or from the Section 508 Coordinator listed at https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/additional-resources/section-508-contacts/index.html.

Materials that are final items for delivery should be accompanied by the appropriate checklist, except upon approval of the Contracting Officer or Representative.
