AK-DILLINGHAM ADMIN-TOGIAK NWR - ASBESTO

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has issued Solicitation No. 140FS126Q0206 as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for an Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) and Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Assessment Survey at the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Dillingham, Alaska. Set aside entirely for small businesses, this solicitation will result in a single, firm-fixed-price purchase order. The selected contractor must provide all labor, travel, equipment, sampling supplies, and laboratory analysis to inspect 15 designated facilities. The assessment's primary purpose is to identify, sample, and quantify ACM and LBP hazards to establish planning-level remediation cost estimates prior to future maintenance, renovation, or demolition. Asbestos inspections must be conducted by EPA-accredited and Alaska-registered AHERA inspectors, with samples analyzed by an NVLAP-accredited laboratory. Non-residential lead testing requires an NLLAP-recognized laboratory or registered XRF analysis. Quotations will be evaluated on a best-value basis considering Technical Capability/Relevant Experience, Past Performance, and Price, with non-price factors being approximately equal to price. The contract's period of performance is limited to four months, requiring field sampling completion within 45 days of award, a draft report within 30 days of sampling, and a final report within seven days of receiving government feedback. Offers must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Oscar Orozco by September 17, 2026. This file also incorporates standard service-contract wage determinations and labor classifications.

This document outlines the hazardous material sampling needs for 15 federal government assets located at the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The inventory lists buildings constructed between 1980 and 2012, encompassing administrative headquarters, quarters, garages, sheds, a hangar, a maintenance shop, and a cold storage building, totaling 41,057 square feet. The primary purpose of the document is to identify which facilities require testing for asbestos and lead. According to the assessment, all 15 listed properties require asbestos testing, while none require lead testing. Destructive testing, such as the removal of walls or ceilings, is strictly limited to areas scheduled for renovation and requires prior permission from Refuge Staff. The document also includes specific physical addresses or general locations (such as Main Street, Lupine Drive, Kanakanak Road, Emperor Way, Wood River Road, and the airport) for each asset to facilitate the sampling process.
