The facility has been inspected multiple times and has been deemed to have no asbestos containing material. | ||
| 52 | Section 5.7- When it comes to contents/furniture after they are cleaned. It states that they are to be moved and stored in a clean area. Is there a clean area available on the base for us to utilize? Or, will we need to transport to our own? | 16-Jul-24 | A non mold contaminated area will be made in the facility or the gov't will provide shipping container storage for items that have been identified to be kept and cleaned in close proximity to the facility. | ||
| 53 | Is there a place for us to stage all equipment and materials and utilize as an office area for onsite personnel? | 16-Jul-24 | Yes.
