6) Is there asbestos located at this project? If so who do we use and would the government place this on another contract?

No – There is no asbestos located at this project. Depending on the project the contractor may be responsible for subcontracting to the base asbestos contractor. If funds are available the government may place asbestos removal on a separate contract action. (Can provide asbestos sub-contractor information at time of award or if requested). Contractor should anticipate sub-contracting all asbestos requirements.

7) If the sheet does not contain a line item (for example – crane rental) will the contractor be allowed to bill for this?

Yes – The line items cover a majority of the items needed. However, if the line items do not contain the needed description it should be submitted as a new line item and the contractor may show it in their proposal.

No – There is no wind lift rating requirement for building 590. However the contractor should ensure the roofing will stay in place and meet manufacturer warranty guidelines.

Manufacturer warranty/representative should dictate the high traffic areas for walk pad placement. Recommend following all manufacturer instructions.

The base does not allow torches to be used during any roofing projects. All roofing should be hot-mopped.
