When necessary, the Contractor shall wet the soil at the soil-tarp seal outward from the structure prior to tarping time to protect structural foundation plantings of trees, shrubs, and other plants as required. Wetting should be done in such a way as to prevent puddling or muddy conditions at tarping time. Any trees or other landscape features scarred or damaged by the Contractor’s equipment or operations shall be restored as nearly as possible to their original condition. The Garrison has a variety of different types of building structures and terrain; work may require the use of man lifts to access these structures and terrain may vary at each location.

Upon completion of work, the Contractor shall clean up the site to include removal of cut vegetation resulting from site preparation.

5.1.4.6 Vikane Fumigant. The fumigant shall be sulfuric fluoride gas of the type used for treatment for dry wood termites. Fumigant shall be used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations to include use of warning agent chloropicrin for sulfuric fluoride gas. The Contractor shall also use the Vikane Gas Fumigation Work Sheet to provide application data consisting of the following information.

1. Fumigant half loss time estimation

2. Fumigant dosage calculation

3. Number of release sites

4. Number of monitoring sites

5. Time warning agent introduced

6. Time Fumigant Introduced

7. Total amount of fumigant used.

5.1.4.7 Introduction of Sulfuric Fluoride. The Contractor shall provide adequate shooting and testing tubes to the interior for use in proper application and sampling of gas for Fumiscope readings during the fumigation and sampling of gas for Fumiscope readings during fumigation. The tubes shall extend to all parts and levels of the structure. Contractor furnished fans shall be placed to azure circulation of the gas during the fumigation and shall be rated for a minimum of 1.000 cubic feet per minute (cfm). Electrical extension cords shall be provided by the Contractor for us of the Fumiscope. The Contractor shall take the Fumiscope readings. Chloropicrin shall be released into the structure prior to introduction of Sulfuric fluoride in accordance with the label instructions.

5.1.4.8 The Contractor shall introduce into the sealed structure the sulfuric fluoride at the rate of not less than the amount per 1,000 cfm or higher as calculated by Dow Fumiguides B and Y. Retain sulfuric fluoride at the necessary ounce-hour accumulation calculated by Dow Fumiguides B and Y or determined by Fumiscope measurements within the structure. The COR shall be notified as to time of final readings and ventilation. The first Fumiscope readings shall be made when the fumigant reaches equilibrium which shall occur four (4) hours after introduction is commenced.

Ounces per 1,000 cubic feet shall not have fallen more than the estimated half-loss time (III…. T) during this period. Additional fumigant should be added, if necessary, to maintain the required concentration. Additional readings shall be taken if deemed necessary by the Contractor or the Government. Original copies of the Fumiguide and Fumiscope figures shall be submitted to the COR upon completion of fumigation.

Testing of covers or seals shall commence 30 minutes after all the gas has been introduced. The Interscan gas detector or equivalent device shall be used. At least two (2) tests must be made; the point where the covers have been joined and the point where the covers meet the ground.

5.1.4.9 Ventilation. Before any seals are broken, one (1) detector reading in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations must be made in the presence of the COR. After expiration of exposure period, seals, or covers shall be removed and the structure, equipment, or property shall be ventilated to dissipate all of the fumigant. The area shall not be entered until aeration is complete. The Contractor shall take appropriate readings in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations in the most confined spaced where there is little or no ventilation. These readings shall be taken at the end of the aeration period after the tarpaulin is removed. Safe readings as listed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists or applicable State standards, whichever is more stringent, shall be required before re-entry.

5.1.4.10 Fumiscope Readings. Perform a minimum of three (3) Fumiscope readings in the presence of the COR at 2 and 4 hours after the introduction of the fumigant and at the end of the exposure period. Report of readings shall be forwarded to the COR two (2) days after completion of fumigation.

Performance Standards STD. Fumigation shall be completed as specified in paragraphs 5.1.4.1 – 5.1.4.10 and report provided within specific timelines.

AQL. Required to be delivered 100% of the time.
