Miscellaneous text in this section has been added to:

Questions and Answers (Q&A)

Question: Current certification expiration dates for the 19 fume hoods and 4 biosafety cabinets are not provided, making it not possible to propose a synchronized inspection schedule as allowed in PWS 1.2.a.

Answer: All but six of the fume hoods / BSCs have already gone beyond the annual certification date. All those six are due 10 July. Amenable to almost any schedule that gets all fume hoods and BSCs done before 10 July.

Question: The reinspection timeline of "within 15 calendar days of notification of repairs" does not specify whether the clock starts on the date the Government sends notification or the date we receive it, nor does it address weekends or federal holidays.

Answer: The 15 days starts when the Government notifies the contractor that the repairs are complete.

Question: No method of notification is specified for reporting deficiencies (email, phone, written report) or for receiving notification that repairs are complete.

Answer: Email is the preferred method of notification.

Question: Reinspection scope is undefined: if a single unit fails and is repaired, must we reinspect only that unit or perform a full recertification (face velocity, smoke, alarms) on that unit?

Answer: Provided example, if a fume hood in room 160 were to fail inspection for any reason, after the vendor is informed that repairs are complete, the vendor would return and perform a complete inspection on that fume hood.
