    The memorandum from the 355th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron details the results of routine ventilation system surveys for various maintenance booths at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Conducted by Lori Gray, the surveys revealed significant performance declines in several systems, notably the large and small paint booths, which registered airflow below the established thresholds. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining ventilation systems to effectively control hazardous exposures, particularly chromium (VI) and isocyanates. Measurements indicated that airflow in key systems fell between 17% and 32.6% below baseline values. Recommendation for corrective action entails initiating work orders for general maintenance and ensuring that blasting media is replaced regularly to avoid airflow obstruction. Although some booths maintain minimum airflow requirements, their overall degraded performance has led to critical health assessments. The memo underscores the necessity of personnel briefings on survey findings and proper documentation practices regarding the survey results. Engaging Civil Engineering when performance issues arise is crucial to ensuring ongoing operational safety and compliance with health regulations.

Key details include specifications for filter requirements, where various filters are outlined with part numbers and quantities. It clarifies that full pressure washing of the booth is not required due to hazardous waste concerns. A peelable booth coating should be applied post-cleaning, and the booth does use epoxy yellow primer containing hexavalent chromium but no lead-based paints. Waste management specifics are discussed, noting the necessity for coordination with hazardous waste personnel for spent filters and overspray debris. Finally, while a ventilation test report is not required from the service vendor, coordination with bioenvironmental engineering is planned after servicing. This document serves as a guideline for potential contractors regarding operational requirements and compliance in servicing the paint booth, reflecting adherence to safety and environmental protocols within federal operations.
    The solicitation FA487724QA430 pertains to the cleaning and maintenance of the 355 MXG Paint Booth.
