We have received recent complaints of particles coming from the ceiling diffuser in critical laboratories and offices within the East and Center building. 1.3 Objective Vendor is to thoroughly clean all ventilation duct work in the East and Center buildings. This includes but not limited to the supply air ducts, exhaust ducts, and all mixing boxes. 2.0 Contractor Requirements 2.1 Comply with all Federal, State, and local regulations for ventilation cleaning. 2.2 Must have a certification by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). 2.3 Must employ Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) certified by (NADCA). 2.4 The lead person for the crew (Foreman) shall be trained in asbestos identification and abatement procedures. 2.5 Crew shall be trained on lock-out and tag-out procedures. 2.6 Vendor must supply MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) on all cleaning materials used on this project. 2.7 Vendor must implement safety precautions outlined in Site Safety Procedures Pamphlet. 2.8 The contracted work will be performed after regular working hours. 2.9 The vendor will be required to provide photographs and utilize a borescope to help provide evaluation and documentation. 2.10 The crew working on site will be required to wear some form of company identification. 2.12 The vendor must provide bonding insurance documentation. 2.13 If electrical connections required for vendor equipment are other than standard connection, the vendor will be responsible for the cost of an electrical contractor to provide needed connections. 2.14 The vendor will coordinate with the janitorial contractor to assure cohesiveness in performing each assigned responsibilities. 2.15 The vendor will be required to take prompt corrective action upon notice of deficiency by the Facility Supervisor. 2.16 The vendor shall be in compliance with all confined space regulations. 3.0 Services Required 3.1 These tasks are a summary of guidelines to be carried out by the contractor, and in no way represent the procedures on which the cleaning of the entire ventilation system of the east and center building is to be conducted.
