About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a roof repairs, inspections, and maintenance contract at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico.
Core diagnostic testing including roofing core sampling, moisture contamination inspections using infrared equipment, and thermogram documentation are required as part of the base contract per Contract Specification Section 01 11 00. Contractors should not assume the presence of hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead unless identified by the Government; however, the Government will direct and compensate testing when hazardous materials are suspected or required to be verified in accordance with the applicable line item in the Schedule of Prices. If unexpected asbestos or lead is discovered, contractors must immediately notify the Contracting Officer and stop work in the affected area, then follow procedures outlined in Section 02 82 00 and the Operations and Maintenance Plans Technical Exhibits 3 and 4. The roof square footage provided in Technical Exhibit 1 represents estimated quantities for bidding purposes only; contractors must verify actual dimensions and site conditions during task order execution, as quantities may vary based on field measurements and existing conditions. The Government will coordinate facility access on a task-order-by-task-order basis for any ongoing or planned construction, renovation, or maintenance projects that may impact the roofing work.
