RFP - Professional Lead-Based Paint Risk Assessment for the Manchester Neighborhood - 4553221

This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Due to the potential health hazard presented by lead contaminants, The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP) seeks to engage a qualified vendor to perform Professional Environmental Services for a Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Risk Assessment stated herein for properties located in the Manchester neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The selected vendor shall conduct a Lead Risk Assessment which will include field inspections/sampling activities to be performed by a Certified Lead-Risk Assessor in accordance with EPA and HUD Regulations & Guidelines. Please see Attachment A for a property list. Testing will measure concentrations of all deteriorated interior and exterior painted, varnished and friction surfaces through X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis; dust sampling through Lead Dust Wipe Sampling of interior floors/sills. Dust sampling is to be performed in accordance with ASTM Standards. For irregular surfaces or areas not accessible with an XRF, paint chip samples are to be collected and analyzed. Testing will be conducted in apartment units as well as common areas. In addition, composite soil samples will be collected from areas with bare soil (if present), along roof drip lines, high contact areas, and play areas. Dust sample analyses are to be performed by a National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) laboratory. Additional samples may be required as needed to sufficiently identify the extent of LBP hazards. The selected vendor must generate a final report which will include the sample results, the locations of LBP hazards, hazardous control options and a cost estimate based on the results from the Risk Assessment. The selected vendor shall review the previously conducted report of areas previously identified to potentially contain LBP. Please see Attachment B for the Lead-Based Paint Report completed by ATC Group Services, Inc. in September 2020. For more information or questions, please contact Brandon Havranek at 412-643-2900 or samantha.tirk@hacp.org The contract will have a one (1) year term with a one (1) year extension option.
