Public award description

THE FACILITY SHALL SUPPORT THE ASBESTOS DECONTAMINATION OF BLM EMPLOYEES, AND TO PROVIDE A STAGING AREA FOR STORAGE MATERIALS. THE NEW FACILITY IS TO BE SEPARATED BY WAY OF FENCING AND SIGNAGE INTO CLEAN AND DIRTY SIDES; ONE SIDE FOR VEHICLES AND PERSONNEL COMING FROM, OR WORKING IN, NEARBY AREAS CONTAINING NOA, AND THE OTHER FOR VEHICLES AND PERSONNEL THAT HAVE BEEN DECONTAMINATED OR THAT ARRIVE FROM CLEAN LOCATIONS AND WILL REMAIN ON THE CLEAN SIDE OF THE FACILITY. THE PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION BUILDING WILL STRADDLE THE TWO SIDES, AND PROVIDE THE MEANS BY WHICH EMPLOYEES CAN DECONTAMINATE BEFORE MOVING TO THE CLEAN SIDE AND/OR LEAVING THE AREA AT THE END OF A SHIFT. THE DETERMINATION OF CLEAN VERSUS DIRTY IS NOT QUANTITATIVE AND, IN PRACTICE, IT WILL REMAIN THE JUDGMENT OF BLM PERSONNEL AS TO THE LEVEL OF DECONTAMINATION THAT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE FOR PASSAGE FROM THE DIRTY SIDE TO THE CLEAN SIDE. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPS) ARE BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE BLM, AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY THE DESIGN/BUILDER FOR GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE FACILITY.
