Amendment 0001

Amendment 0001 is incorporated into solicitation SP3300-22-Q-0027.

Amendment 0001 is being issued to provide answers to the below vendor questions and to incorporate a revised Combined Synopsis Solicitation and a revised Attachment 2 – Schedule of Services. The due date for quotes is not being extended.

Vendor Questions:

1. As an asbestos inspector in PA, or anywhere, one collecting the samples must have a three-day AHERA Inspector Course and be licensed in PA. However, you are requesting an abatement supervisor license in PA which is for conducting abatement and does not qualify someone to collect samples. The individual needs to be licensed to take asbestos samples and develop an asbestos abatement plan.

2. Also, there does not appear to be abatement in the SOW, just the sampling, testing and abatement plan. Will abatement be part of this contract as well? Asbestos abatement will not be part of this contract. The contract will only be for asbestos sampling, testing and the abatement plan. Any asbestos abatement will be included in the construction project contract.

3. The NAICS code is for abatement, not environmental testing 541620., although that's not important to us as we have both. If you can clarify my concerns, I'd appreciate it and thank you. NAICS code 562910, Remediation Services, includes asbestos abatement Services and asbestos removal contractors. NAICS code 541620, Environmental Consulting Services, includes asbestos contamination and site remediation consulting services. The government feels that using NAICS code 541620 is more appropriate.

4. What is the number 7 referring to? 7 days on site including samples or collection of 7 samples to include the labor to collect them? I'm used to a daily or hourly labor rate plus a sample rate as we never know how many samples will be required to be collected. You would only be charged for the number of samples collected. Could be 4 could be 30? Please clarify? The number 7 was the government’s estimate for the number of sampling events (jobs) for a given year. The rest of the answer to this question is combined with the answer for question #6.

5. Per the SOW, DLA requires a state of Pennsylvania accredited inspector to collect and sample any suspect ACM in areas surveyed. Correct? Also, a PA inspector, management planner or abatement designer may generate the abatement plan for these work areas that are surveyed. Is that correct? WE don't need to be an abatement contractor to bid this work. Correct? The individual needs to be licensed to take asbestos samples and develop an asbestos abatement plan. Your company does not need to be an Abatement Contractor.

6. The cost spreadsheet calls out 7 jobs for surveys and 7 work plans. Can it be assumed that these inspections will take a trained inspector 1 day to complete or are there other projects that may be larger areas that may take several days to complete? The size and complexity of the work area determines the time it will take an inspector to collect and assess the work area. therefore 1 job may vary depending on site conditions, size, elevation, location etc. The contract that results from this solicitation, will be a Not-to-Exceed type contract, in which the contractor will only be paid for actual work performed. The government does not know how many jobs, samples and reports are actually going to be needed. The need will arise as the government develops future small-scale and large-scale construction projects. This makes it challenging to develop a pricing model. Therefore, the government has revised Attachment 2 – Schedule of Services. A CLIN is being added for mobilization / demobilization. The unit of issue is Job and the duration is one day, with a limit of up to an 8 hour period onsite. If the asbestos sampling takes more than one day, then the number of Jobs would reflect the number of days needed to accomplish the sampling. The government is estimating that the average number of jobs per year will be 7. The government is estimating that the average number of samples needed per job will be 6. Therefore, a quantity of 42 samples would reflect the total number of samples per year. The government is estimating that the average number of Asbestos Removal Plans needed per year, based on laboratory reports indicating a presence of asbestos, will be 4. Contractors are to use these quantities the purpose of generating their quote.
