Quotes should be negotiated between 502 CONS and the vendor. I would recommend having the vendor provide quotes every 12 months. It may not be in the best interest of the government for the vendor to project costs for services 5 years into the future.

Pricing line 0011 calls for a mold protocol, if the government is asking for a mold protocol per TDLR standards created by a MAC, will the government then we asking for bids on a mold remediation, and if so, how will the subsequent inspections be handled during a MRC project by the MAC? Page 2

Schedule

B

The Toxics Management Program only asks for a mold protocol if the visible mold covers an area that exceeds 25 contiguous square feet and to advise the building owner (unit) on what material(s) to have repaired/replaced. It is completely left to the unit to hire a vendor of choice to perform remediation and use its unit funding.

This is a stipulation that we, the Toxics Management Program, has no control over. This is a rule that has been dictated due to the use of the GPC to compensate the vendor for services rendered.

Is there a site visit planned for this requirement?

No site visits are planned. BPA covers multiple installations and facilities and call orders will be made as needed so a site visit is not feasible.

On the 11 different locations listed, how many potential building will be covered by square footage?

In a normal situation, the Toxics Management Program will only contact a vendor if there is visible mold that exceeds the 25 contiguous square foot threshold. The main reason for hiring a vendor is to collect samples and analyze the type(s) of mold present because the Toxics Management Program does not have the capabilities to perform such tasks. In most cases if the area exceeds the threshold, I will request a Protocol to pass on to the building owner in the event remediation is necessary.
