Confined Space Assessment and Inventory for Buckley SFB

Current as of 19 July 2024

1. SCOPE:

The government requires confined space inventory support for Buckley SFB, to provide hazard assessment and classification of confined spaces. The work would include identifying and evaluating all confined spaces on Buckley SFB along with creating a registry of the confined spaces.

The government will provide escort(s) to sites who can answer questions during the assessment process, as well as a Geography of Sites map. No secure areas will need to be accessed for this service;

however pictures will not be allowed until an authorization letter is obtained from Public Affairs following receipt of award. Aircraft and vehicles (tankers) will not be part of the assessment. The government will provide a template assessment form that will be used during the assessment. A template registry may be provided upon request following receipt of the award. The government will not provide entry/retrieval equipment for contractor use. Rescue pre-plans for each space have been developed by the government; however, the vendor is to have their own rescue plans. Fall protection is not required at any of the confined spaces, currently.

o Registry will be an excel document that will summarize all data collected from site visits, findings, hazards identified, locations and potential mitigation measures for each confined space.

• The Buckley Fire Department must be notified before and after all confined space entries as they are the source of rescue for the installation.
