RFI 0001- Not answered yet

RFI 0002: Specification Section 028220 paragraph 1.03D states, “This specification is based on an

Asbestos Survey of the site conducted by AECOM in October 2015. Laboratory test results are on file and may be obtained for review and are attached to this specification.”

The referenced Asbestos Survey conducted by AECOM does not appear to be included with any of the

RFP documents. Please provide this survey.

Answer: The Asbestos and Lead survey is attached: Titled: W91364185000 Hangar 885 Survey Reports and Sampling Data.

RFI 0003: Section 010000 paragraph 17.11 describes the requirement to have all employees complete the AT Level I Awareness Training. The website link in paragraph 17.12.1 does not work. How long does this training take and are there any costs associated with the training?

Answer: The correct URL for AT Level I Training is: http://jko.jten.mil/courses/atl1/launch.html it is an on-line course. There is no cost associated with taking the course.

RFI 0004: Specification Section 028220 paragraph 1.05 says, “The total quantity of ACM and/or contaminated materials shall be field verified by the Asbestos Removal Contractor during the Pre-bid walkthrough. If the Asbestos Removal Contractor finds any perceived conflict, error, omission, or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, the Asbestos Removal Contractor shall submit a written request for an interpretation or clarification prior to the Bid Opening as specified in Division One of the Contract

Documents. The Asbestos Removal Contractor shall not, at any time after the Bid Opening, be compensated for a claim alleging insufficient data, incomplete Contract Documents, or incorrectly-assumed conditions regarding the amount or nature of Work, if no request for interpretation was made by the Asbestos Removal Contractor prior to the Bid Opening. “

It is an impossibility of performance to expect us to catch any errors in the government provided design

/ scope of the hazardous material abatement work by making a short visual inspection during the site visit to the facility. In addition we cannot tell by a visual inspection if a building material is hazardous or not. That determination can only be made after destructive field sampling and laboratory testing. Even if we could make a determination of whether a building material was hazardous by looking at it, there may still be hazardous materials hidden above ceilings, behind walls, underground, etc.

Please remove the paragraph noted above from the contract documents and confirm that bidding contractors should assume the only hazardous material that we are to include in our bid is the hazardous material specifically noted to be removed and that any additional hazardous material that may be discovered after award will be treated as a differing site condition.

Answer: The Hazardous Material and Environmental Survey was issued as a response to RFI-0002

Revise Specification Section 028220 paragraph 1.05 to read as follows: "The Hazardous Material and

Environmental Survey indicates all areas in the building where suspected asbestos containing materials

(ACM) were tested. Therefore, all impacted ACM within the renovation or demolition area should be removed and disposed of in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations, prior to disturbance.

ACM not impacted within the renovation or demolition do not require removal as a part of this project.

ACM that are discovered during construction and required removal but are not indicated in the construction documents, specifications or noted in the Hazardous Material and Environmental Survey that was issued as a response to RFI-0002, will be treated as a differing site condition."
