This document is an Addendum to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for a Department of the Air Force acquisition in Florida. It outlines three critical regulatory and operational requirements for the contractor: 1. **Ombudsman Program:** Defines the role of the appointed ombudsman, Mr. Erik Symanski (with escalation to the Air Force ombudsman), who facilitates resolving concerns from offerors. Contractors must first attempt to resolve issues with the contracting officer. The ombudsman does not participate in proposal evaluations or formal disputes, has no authority to bind the agency, and should not be contacted for routine solicitation inquiries. 2. **Elimination of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS):** Prohibits contractors from providing services, products, or technical documentation that require or establish the use of pure Class I ODSs (including specific Halons, Chlorofluorocarbons, Carbon Tetrachloride, Methyl Chloroform, and Methyl Bromide) for testing, operation, or maintenance. 3. **Health and Safety on Government Installations:** Mandates that contractors take all necessary precautions to protect the health and safety of personnel. Contractors must comply with Air Force Occupational Safety and Health (AFOSH) standards and any additional safety directives from the contracting officer. Failure to correct safety violations promptly serves as grounds for contract termination under the Default clause.

This federal government document provides answers to vendor questions regarding Request for Quote (RFQ) FA252126QB154 for termite fumigation services at Building 708. The Q&A clarifies key operational and logistical details for the project. The government estimates Building 708's dimensions at 150’ by 100’ by 25’, with a total volume of approximately 375,000 cubic feet. The physical work site is clarified as Building 708 on Spacelift Avenue. To secure the facility, the Statement of Work (SOW) was updated to remove 24/7 security guard and remote monitoring requirements, provided the building is locked at the end of each workday. Contractors must supply their own portable generators for aeration fans and monitoring equipment, as the building's interior power access is limited, though running water is available inside. Additionally, the government removed the metal roof release form requirement, noted that an unremovable fire alarm antenna is located on the roof, and confirmed there are no trees obstructing the surrounding ten-foot perimeter. Finally, the government clarified that licensing documentation is required before performance begins rather than at submission, corrected conflicting proposal deadlines, and confirmed there is no incumbent contractor for this project.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for corrective drywood termite fumigation at Building 708, Patrick Space Force Base (PSFB) in Florida. The primary objective is 100% eradication of active termites using whole-building tenting and structural fumigation, restoring the facility to a safe clearance level of under 1 ppm of fumigant gas within a strict three- to four-day operational window. The selected contractor must provide all necessary personnel, equipment, and materials to complete the pre-fumigation inspection, structural tenting, chemical introduction (such as Sulfuryl Fluoride), monitoring, aeration, and final clearance testing. Compliance with federal, state, and military regulations—including FIFRA, EPA, FDACS, and OSHA standards—is mandatory. Key contractor responsibilities include submitting a Fumigation Work & Safety Plan, obtaining a signed Metal Roof Release form, securing the perimeter 24/7 during active fumigation, and issuing a Certificate of Safe Re-entry. PSFB is responsible for pre-fumigation building preparation, including removing food, medicine, and sensitive equipment, and deactivating HVAC and fire alarm systems. All contractor personnel must pass background checks for base access. The performance period must begin within 10 days of contract award and conclude within 20 days. Additionally, the contractor must provide a two-year service-only warranty to perform corrective spot treatments or retreatments at no additional cost if active infestations reoccur.
