HURRICANE IKE REPAIRS – LA PORTE ANGE FACILITIES

1. We are intending to bid the Ellington Field hurricane repairs project on 7/9/09. I had one question concerning the SOW. On building 1

(Objective) section (C) number (2) it states "if mold found contact contracting officer for instruction". Moreover, page 3 of the solicitation states the price includes "any mold abatement that may be necessary per attached statement of work". I did not hear any mold abatement discussed in quantities at the pre-bid, nor can I find any in the SOW (other than inspecting for mold). If mold were discovered during inspection after removing sheetrock, would the abatement process be a separate change order (modification) to the original contract?

A: We do not anticipate the presence of mold. If, however, there is mold, the abatement would be considered a change to the awarded contract with an adjustment.
