Opportunity: MT CF HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT

The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to Requests for Information, below. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged. 1.Mold inspection in accordance with ASTM E2418 (Revoked) - this standard does not include sampling for mold. Do we need to sample for mold in buildings (e.g., swab samples, air samples for mold spores) to confirm mold growth related air quality hazards? Yes, mold should be sampled for during this inspection. 2.Do we need to document safety hazards related to the building structure, including confined spaces, and other hazards related to construction safety? No, we do not need to document safety hazards related to building structures, confined spaces, or other construction safety. 3.Do we need to prepare specifications for remediation of hazards identified (e.g., remediation of asbestos, LBP, Radon, mold etc.)? No. we do not need to prepare specifications for remediation of hazards. 4.Can we have access to any previous reports on hazmat and safety inspections conducted in these buildings? We do not currently have previous reports on hazmat or other safety inspections of this nature conducted on the buildings covered under this solicitation. We do know that the Old Office Building was tested for asbestos in the 1990's, but have not been able to locate the reports. The exterior of the Visitor Center was repainted a few years ago, but not sure if all of the old paint was scraped and entirely removed prior to painting. We would like to have a thorough inspection performed for the hazards listed in the solicitation, whether they had been previously performed or not, so that we can maintain a data base for any future construction, demolition, or modifications to these buildings. 5.Section 4.0(2)(A) provides two acceptable methods for lead testing. Is the use of an X-ray florescence (XRF) an acceptable alternative? As long as it can accurately determine the presence or absence of lead based paint, it is our belief that this would be an acceptable alternative. 6.Section 4.0(2)(I) indicates that physical and structural hazards detected during inspection of structures should be reported. Is there a specific ASTM inspection procedure required for the detection of structural hazards; and, if so, does a licensed structural engineer required to inspect the structures? NO, there was not an ASTM procedure listed or required and NO a licensed structural engineer is not required. This would only entail any obvious damages or hazards that an inspector would notice. 7.Section 4.0(2)(J) indicates that identification of unaccounted for stored or spilled hazardous materials is required. Is there a current hazardous materials inventory; and, can that be shared? We do have an inventory of Hazardous materials located in a couple of the buildings listed. They are usually located in designated areas or lockers for safety and accountability. We use these on a regular basis and they would NOT be included as part of this inspection. There have been many hazardous materials used at the facility during the past few decades so obtaining an accurate list would be nearly impossible. We are primarily looking for any materials, substances, or spills that are not readily apparent and/or we are not aware of.
