Hazardous Materials
| Section Referenced | Contractor Question or Recommendation | Government Response | Category | |
| SOW; Para.1.3 | We note that the IFB says "Disconnection and capping of building utilities (water, sewer, gas, electrical) are the Contractor's responsibility…." Does the water pipe contain asbestos? | Site utilities and piping are not expected to contain ACM. Should any evidence to the contrary present itself, the contractor is to stop work immediately and contact the Contracting Officer for further instruction. | Hazardous Materials | |

| SOW; Para.2.1 | Block 10 on the SF 1447 and Section C both mention "abatement of site hazardous-containing materials and soil" and Section C also mentions "hazardous materials testing, abatement and legal disposal." We note that the Site Visit Summary states that "asbestos has been identified in the building; surveys for asbestos, lead, and other hazards will be provided. Mr. Javier will provide surveys for asbestos, lead etc." Is it the USAF's expectation that the forthcoming surveys will provide enough information about the type and quantity of hazardous material and contaminated soil for contractors to use for bidding purposes? Uncertainty in this aspect of the scope will increase contractor bids. To reduce this uncertainty, would the USAF provide information and assumptions to support hazardous materials abatement/disposal cost estimates? | A survey from January 2009 will be included to prospective bidders. Other ACM, LBP surveys or information on known hazardous materials will be provided if available. . If during demolition something different is identified immediately notify the Contractingt officer and we will address with contractor and CE functionals. We cannot provide you an estimate for hazardous materials and disposal cost. We do have a site on base that will accept some items, at no cost, Paint, etc. | Hazardous Materials | |
| SOW | In the absence of information that is sufficient to support cost estimates for the transportation and disposal of hazardous materials and contaminated soils, will USAF consider providing plug numbers for transportation & disposal of hazardous materials and contaminated soils so that post-award adjustments can be made via contract modification should the actual waste and soil volumes vary from the basis of estimate? | Prospective contractors (bidders) will be responsible for providing their best estimate for transporting and disposal of hazardous materials and contaminated soils. | Hazardous Materials | |

Anything left behind will need to be properly removed and/or demolished. | Hazardous Materials | |
| SOW | Please confirm geotechnical surveys and surveying are not required. | That is correct, geotechnical surveys and surveying are not required. | Hazardous Materials | |
| SOW | Would the USAF please extend the deadline for questions on this solicitation to a date that is no sooner than one week after the referenced existing soils report and hazardous materials survey report have been released via amendment so that contractors may have the opportunity to submit questions on those findings? | Not at this time. If additional issues arise we will assess any delay at that time. | Hazardous Materials | |
| In accordance with section 3.11 of the Solicitation, ‘areas known to contain/ not contain Asbestos Containing Materials will be identified to the Contractor’; Please provide any information/ documentation regarding environmental debris including Asbestos Containing Materials, Lead Based Paint, contaminated soils, etc. so these can be quantified for bid purposes. | A survey from January 2009 will be included to prospective bidders. Other ACM, LBP surveys or information on known hazardous materials will be provided if available. The asbestos will need to be removed before demo and the waste will be manifested as “Asbestos Containing Material, Demolition Debris”, disposed in Florida permitted Class I or III landfill. | |||
| To meet NESHAP requirements, F.A.C 62-204.800/F.A.C Rule 62-257.301 (Notice of Demolition or Asbestos Renovation) adopted and incorporated EPA 40 CFR/Chpt 1/Subpart C/Part 61/Subpart M/Sec. 61.145 – Standard for Demolition and Renovation (Asbestos). | Hazardous Materials | |||
