QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1) – is there an incumbent for these services (or similar services) at LEAD? If so, who?

A1)-No there is not an incumbent

Q2) – is this project fully funded for either the current or next fiscal year?

A2)- Services will be funded on individual task orders issued from the base contract

Q3) – the requirement is to “…provide abatement through safe cleaning and removal of heavy metals (LEAD/CAD/CHROME) and dirt, dust and other debris from the roofs and exterior sides of all blast booths and blasting equipment”, for that equipment as noted in the PWS. Please indicate to what extent, if any, the Contractor should perform abatement on floors and on other ancillary equipment immediately adjacent to the specific booths and blasting equipment noted in the PWS.

A3)-Booths and equipment are to be cleaned tops and sides. Equipment attached to and related to the booth (duct work, ladders, elevators, gear boxes, conduit etc) are also to be cleaned to the point of exiting building for collector, bag house etc. Floors, chairs, buckets etc near booth are not to be cleaned.

Q4) – reference 1.4.3 of the PWS: please provide additional clarification on the allowable hours of execution of this work. Are the Contractor work hours limited to 0100 to 0600 each day? Or is work in Building 370 limited to the hours of 0100 to 0600? Please clarify.

A4)- Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall provide services between the hours of 0600 and 1530 on Monday through Thursday and 0600 and 14:30 every other Friday, except on recognized US holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings. Should the need arise due to production, safety etc. the need may be required to be evenings/weekends. A timely notice from LEAD to contractor will be given.

Performance shall be at building 350, 370, 57, and The contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS wn the Government facility/installation is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the work force are essential.

Q5) – please confirm that the Government will properly de-energize (including LOTO) all applicable equipment prior to the Contractor performing services on/around the equipment.

A5)- The COR will be notified of the equipment that need de-energized and the COR will notify Industrial Equipment Maintenance to complete that task of lockout/tag out.

Q6) – please confirm that the Government will provide power (electric), water, and sanitation facilities as needed by the Contractor.

A6)-these will be provided

Q7) – reference 5.3 of the PWS, “The contractor shall provide testing during and after removal. Please use PCM (Phase Contrast Microscopy) during removal process and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) for the final clearance”. Is this an artifact from another PWS/Requirement? PCM and TEM are analytical methods typically used for assessing for asbestos fibers, not for air or wipe confirmation testing for metals. Can the Government clarify, or can the Contractor offer alternate, more applicable clearance testing methodology?

A7) what LEAD is specifically asking for is general area air monitoring around the perimeter after the cleanup effort is completed to ensure hazardous dust that has been disturbed during the activit =y remains at a low enough level for workers to resume safely. Letterkenny uses 0.05mg/m3 for an 8 hour TWA.

Q8) In building 350, between the two booths there is a floor vent. It looks like it went to another room. Is that area included in the cleaning?

A8) That area is the pit which houses the augers for booth 44/50. It does not require this service.

Q9) In building 350. The piece of equipment that has the chain conveyor belt. There are a lot of screens on the equipment. Are the screens to be removed to clean under the equipment and then replace the screens?

A9)Screens will be left in place

Q10) In building 37. There were insulated curtains that extended out from the booth. Are the curtains to be cleaned?

A10) Yes.

Q11) There are multiple occasions where the bid specifications say to follow NESHAP (Page 7 and page 10 for sure). NEHSAP deals with asbestos. Can you clarify why this is?

A11) https://www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-air-pollution/metal-fabrication-and-finishing-source-categories-national-emission “On June 13, 2008 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued final national air toxics standards for smaller-emitting sources, known as area sources, for nine metal fabrication and finishing source categories. These standards affect any new or existing facility that performs metal fabrication or finishing operations which uses or emits compounds of cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese , and nickel; or uses or emits elemental forms of all except lead”.

Q12) Section 5.3 states that testing must be performed by PCM or TEM. Again, this is for asbestos not lead. Please clarify.

A12) Below are the OSHA standards for Lead, Cadmium, and hex chrome...

https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.1025 https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.1027 https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.1026

Normally, exposure monitoring would be performed on the employees doing the hazardous work and that is what these standards refer to. What we are specifically asking for is general area air monitoring around the perimeter. For the surface sampling to ensure what contractor has cleaned is clean and the area around it is clean, we are asking for surface sampling to ensure lead levels are in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1025(h)(1).

"Surfaces. All surfaces shall be maintained as free as practicable of accumulations of lead." Unfortunately OSHA does not give a number, the number we use is adapted by the Army from a NAVMED regulation. Only lead has a mention of surfaces for OSHA.

Q13) Section 4.1.4 state contractor shall supply hazardous waste drums. Section 5.16 states drums will be supplied by LEAD. Please clarify.

A13) Lead will supply drums, contractor will dispose of them

Q14) Will we have a place to store lifts throughout the year?

A14) Yes, will probably be outside storage

Q15) The schedule just says each booth must be cleaned once a year. Will there be a set schedule after the project is awarded?

A15) yes and the schedule will be determined by building and production workload. A schedule will be finalized with the vendor after award.

Q16) Page 16 of 38- states that “Booths or Equipment being worked on shall be barricaded to prevent fugitive dust for migrating. Does this mean full containment? Or does this mean drops on the floor and barricade tape and signage. Full containment on some of the booths might take an entire weekend just to build.

A16) Drops to the floor (complete surround), barricade tape and signage

Q17) If it takes longer that the weekend and/or overnight to clean a booth, esp the large booths, will the booth be shut down for the week until it can be finished the following night or weekend?

A17) this will be determined in coordination with contractor time estimates and production. The intent is to not undo previous cleaning effort and restart

Q18) Just to be clear- are we using the wage for Laborer: Common or General? In 2017 I believe that is what we used to clean two booths. $18.09 and fringe $8.34?

A18) - See Solicitation notes #13, WD 2015-4253 Rev 14 (note: it was just updated this month)

Q19) Clearance testing- If work is to be done on weekends. Labs will not get clearance tests, most likely until Tuesday. Will this be an issue? Will any containment stay up until cleared?

A19) see 17

Q20) Photographs of the blast equipment were not permitted to be taken during the pre-bid site visit. Could a photograph(s) of each specific piece of blasting equipment subject to this scope be provided with the name of the particular piece of equipment identified? Also, is it possible to have the limits of cleaning annotated on the photographs, especially for the large blast booth units, so that we can visualize the limits of the work area?

A20) see #3 and #40

Q21) The performance work statement refers to a containment area. What does LEAD consider a containment? Is it a fully enclosed, airtight containment that is placed under negative pressure with filtered air exhaust?

A21) See #16

Q22) We would like to request a 2-week extension of the proposal due date making the due date on July 12, 2021.

A22) Once all questions have been addressed the Government will ensure adequate time for vendors to propose

Q23) Please define scope of cleaning for all blast booth cleanings. We understand that the top and sides of the booth need to be cleaned but what other areas are included in the scope? Are rafters, air handling duct work included and if so where does the scope end? Are associated electrical controls also part of the cleaning?

A23) see #3

Q24) Several of the blast booths have piping and bag house equipment (and other ancillary components) that are located outside of a building. Does this scope include cleaning of any outdoor equipment?

A24) See #3

Q25) Some of the blasting booth equipment have a metal safety mesh that guards against exterior exposed moving parts such as gears, drive shafts and motors. This was noticed specifically on the Viking Blast (T3165) in Building

350. Does the scope include removal of the safety mesh guard, cleaning of the mesh guard, and the exterior moving equipment parts in the guarded area?

A25) See #9

Q26) Who is responsible for de-energizing and lock out/tag out of the equipment that we will be working on?

A26)See #5

Q27) Are we to assume that all waste is considered hazardous waste containing lead, cadmium, and chromium? Are contractors responsible for the disposal of any drum waste generated during the cleaning? If the contractor is NOT responsible for the disposal of the waste, will the base provide UN rated DOT drums to put all waste into?

A27) See #13

Q28) How are the cleanings going to be scheduled? Are all buildings going to be cleaned consecutively or will eachbuilding be cleaned at determined intervals over the year?

A28) See #15 and #17

Q29) You had mentioned that base passes can be obtained and that they are good for two weeks. After two weeks if the same individuals are coming back, do they need to go through the badge process again or can the passes be renewed fairly easily?

A29). Visitor Badges can be renewed every two weeks. The actual badge will be turned in daily but the paper one will be kept by the individual. 370 requires an escort. If work is going to last close to a year a contractor badge could be issued. The badge office number is 717-267-8003

Q30) Section 1.6.1 – Environmental Protection: In the Performance Work Statement Section 1.6.1 mentions that the work shall comply with the USEPA NESHAP regulations 40 CFR 61 Subpart M regarding requirements for removal of asbestos and prevention of worker/occupant exposure. However, there is no mention of asbestos removal in the performance work statement, nor was asbestos removal discussed during the pre-bid site walk. Please clarify whether or not the NESHAPs regulations apply to this project and if so, please include the associated asbestos scope.

A30) See #11

Q31) Section 5.3 of the Performance Work Statement mentions that Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) shall be used for air sampling during the removal process and that Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) shall be used for all clearance samples. However, PCM and TEM analyses are used for asbestos abatement jobs and would not be appropriate to use for a metals dust cleanup job. Please clarify whether or not PCM and TEM analyses are to be used, or if not, please state what methodology should be used to determine clearance.

A31) See #11

Q32) Section 1.6.8 Assignment of Environmental Compliance Designee (ECD) – This section states that an ECD shall be appointed for all contract work periods exceeding 180 consecutive days. We anticipate that the cleaning process would not occur over a 180 consecutive day period, but would occur in stages with several, shorter duration, and mobilizations. Please clarify if an ECD is required for this?

A32) An appointed employee of the contractor will be assigned as the POC/SME for hazmat related generation and waste/

Q33) What are the clearance criteria for determining appropriate cleanup of the equipment surfaces? Is clearance based on the results of surface wipe samples of the results of air sampling?

A33) We are specifically asking for general area air monitoring around the perimeter. For the surface sampling to ensure what has been cleaned is clean and the area Around it is clean, we are asking for surface sampling to ensure lead levels are in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1025(h)(1). "Surfaces. All surfaces shall be maintained as free as practicable of accumulations of lead." Unfortunately OSHA does not give a number, the number we use is adapted by the Army from a NAVMED regulation. Only lead has a mention of surfaces for OSHA.

Q34) Many pieces of equipment not being cleaned are very close-by and/or attached to equipment being cleaned.

Please confirm all equipment being cleaned as well as equipment not being cleaned that are adjacent/near-by to equipment being cleaned will not be in use during cleaning activities.

A34)See #3

Q35) How much advanced notice is required to ensure full uninterrupted access for cleaning activities? Is there a potential for last-minute interruptions of cleaning activities, such as the need to use the equipment, to where we would have to shut down and move to other equipment? If this is possible, will we be able to immediately move to another piece of equipment either within the same building or another building should the potential exist that we arrive at a building and not permitted access for whatever reason?

A35) Luckily there is a lot of equipment in geographically close locations in the same building. Work will be scheduled with COR and Contractor site manager to finish on a certain day and begin in a new location on the next day. A schedule will be finalized with the vendor after award.

Q36) Please confirm whether the government will provide building water and electric or does contractor have to provide their own?

A36) see #6

Q37) Will contractor be provided closer access to the equipment from the many other egress points throughout these buildings or will they be required to bring equipment in/out from the egress points used during site walk?

A37) closest logistically suitable entrance will be used

Q38) In general, will all associated attached equipment, such as pipes/conduits, curtain protectors, valves, fittings, hoists, stairwells, walking platforms, supply/exhaust ducts, tanks, electrical components/panels, equipment inside metal grating, and other miscellaneous equipment require cleaning as well?

A38) See #3

Q39) In general, will all non-affixed equipment/materials surrounding equipment to be cleaned in scope, such as desks, counters, metal step grates, misc. buckets, drums, steel base support I-beams, horizontal support columns/beams, concrete housekeeping pads and ramps, trash cans, rubber mats, lockers, storage bins, shelves, parts/pieces/equipment on/in shelving/bins, fans, mirrors, and any/all other miscellaneous stand-alone equipment require cleaning as well?

A39)See #3

Q40) Since photos not permitted, contractor requests photos of all equipment requiring cleaning with suggested arrows pointing to equipment requiring/not requiring cleaning.

A40) Photos for this will not be provided. See question #3

Q41) Page 16 of SOW states to sweep the floors. Please confirm whether that’s interior and/or exterior of the booths and to what extent. Please also confirm in general that nothing interior is to be cleaned.

A41) Sweeping of the floors around the booth is an end of effort cleanup function. Area to be swept is wherever area worked/mess was generated. Nothing is required inside the booths or equipment.
