2.2.1 General Requirements 2.2.1.1 PGW is seeking proposals for various activities associated with the remediation of asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”), lead-containing paint (“LCP”), lead dust, and mold at PGW facilities. In addition to the mandatory tasks, safety requirements and facility requirements outlined within this RFP, all work is to be conducted in accordance with all City, State and Federal regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, those outlined herein. 2.2.1.2 The successful Proposer will remediate ACM, LCP, lead dust, and mold from PGW facilities on an as-needed basis. Additionally, the successful Proposer will remove and properly dispose of all ACM from PGW facilities on an as-needed basis. PGW will arrange for disposal of lead and mold-impacted materials from PGW facilities. 2.2.1.3 Proposers may submit proposals for the remediation of one, two, or all of the materials identified. 2.2.1.4 PGW’s Chemical Services Department typically performs asbestos and lead assessments (or separately contracts these assessments) and will provide copies of the assessment results when requesting remediation services from the successful Proposer. PGW contracts directly with a third-party air monitoring firm for completion of asbestos, lead, and mold remediation oversight and air monitoring services. As a result, these services are NOT requested as part of this RFP. 2.2.1.5 The use of subcontractors for any part of the remediation work is acceptable. Proposers shall identify the subcontractors in the proposal. 2.2.1.6 Throughout the duration of the contract, the successful Proposer must be available on a standby basis to remediate ACM, LCP, lead dust, and mold as needed. In the case of an emergency, PGW may require immediate assistance with ACM, LCP, lead dust, and mold remediation. For planned projects, PGW expects the successful Proposer to be available for ACM, LCP, lead dust, and mold remediation within two (2) weeks of notice by PGW. The successful Proposer must provide a schedule of events as well as work crew member names and contact information on a per project basis as soon as possible. PGW prefers that this information be provided no less than 48 hours prior to the start of a project. 2.2.1.7 The successful Proposer must have personnel available to complete pre-project meetings to tour the proposed worksite, discuss the scope of work, review work procedures and safety measures, determine necessary resources (including those to be supplied by PGW), and identify the regulatory compliance plan and air monitoring requirements for the project. As noted above, PGW separately contracts an air monitoring firm to oversee and monitor asbestos, lead, and mold remediation projects; a representative of PGW’s air monitoring firm is typically in attendance at the preproject meetings as well as the PGW project manager and other relevant PGW personnel. Following a request for services by PGW, the successful Proposer must prepare a proposal detailing the scope of services, applicable unit costs, and estimated total costs for the project for PGW’s review and approval; the proposals shall be provided in a reasonable timeframe so as not to delay the PGW project.
