Specifications include, but are not limited to: The major tasks to be performed by the awarded contractor (or successful Respondent) include the following: 2.4.1 Task 1 – Project Management Project Manager will be responsible for the following: A. Lead the project efforts and serve as key contact between HHSC and Contractor; B. Review and monitor inspections results and draft reports; C. Schedule and organize meetings and assignments; and D. Ensure that the project is completed in accordance with the Scope of Work. 2.4.2 Task 2 – Administrative Provide administrative duties and functions associated with this project: A. Provide necessary reports as part of the pilot program; B. Develop staff guidance manual on following the LWQMP; and C. Prepare “draft” Recommendation and Findings report. 2.4.3 Task 3 – Conduct a Facility Risk Assessment Conduct necessary inspections at each facility to review physical facilities, policies, procedures, and reports documenting water management implementation results to verify what future facilities LWQMP need to include: A. Conduct a facility risk assessment with HHSC facility staff to identify where Legionella and other opportunistic waterborne pathogens that could grow and spread in the facility water system; B. Evaluate critical control points, sample sites, flushing points, and other elements that need to be part of a Water Management Program that considers the ASHRAE industry standards and the CDC toolkit, and includes control measures such as physical controls, temperature management, disinfectant level control, visual inspections, and environmental testing for disinfectant residuals, pH, temperature, indicator organisms, and pathogens; and C. Specify testing protocols and acceptable ranges (control limits) for control measures and document the results of testing and corrective actions taken when these control limits are not maintained. 2.4.4 Task 4 – Prepare Draft LWQMP Testing Protocol and SOPs Prepare a draft LWQMP in cooperation with HHSC staff. The LWQMP will be an overarching document necessary for establishing testing protocols, establishment of control measures and corrective actions and include all components of a LWQMP. Control measure standard operating procedures (SOPs) and corrective actions will be documented as part of the pilot program. The required elements described by CDC and American Society of Heating and AirConditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) are: A. Program Team: Procedures for selecting a sustainable and effective team; B. Facility Description: Facility diagram and analysis of water system hazards and critical controls such as temperature and disinfectant residual; C. Facility Monitoring and Action Plan (MAP): Sampling and response plan identifying critical control points, critical control measures, sample sites, and corrective actions to be taken when analytical results fall outside the critical control limits. For example, routine corrective actions may include flushing and additional sampling; D. Procedures for Confirmation: Description of how to periodically confirm the success of program, including when, how, and why Legionella bacteria analysis shall be performed; and E. Documentation: Policies and procedures for recordkeeping and reporting.
