Renovation of a residential development in Rock Island, Illinois. Completed plans call for the renovation of a residential development.

The bidder shall submit a project plan using the design standards below that is in compliance with all applicable HUD, EPA and State of Illinois regulations as well as all local building and zoning codes. The plan must include a clear project timeline and budget with line item costs. The contractor shall act as the general contractor for the project using subcontractors as required. Subcontractors that will be required should be clearly identified in the project plan. The City of Rock Island is requesting bids from contractors for short term testing and installing radon mitigation systems. This will be a one-year contract for approximately 35 households per a year. Estimating that 50-60 percent will require mitigating. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds will be used to ameliorate testing and mitigating radon with levels above 4 pCi/L. All work shall be subject to HUD 35.930 , Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and IDPH ( Illinois Department of Public Health). Short-term tests may last between (2) two and (90) ninety days. Most last between(2) two and (7) seven days. Examples of short-term detectors include: activated charcoal canisters, charcoal liquid scintillation vials, electret chambers and continuous radon monitors. Be aware that any tests lasting less than a week (that is, most short-term tests) require closed-house conditions. Closed-house conditions mean keeping all windows closed, keeping doors closed except for normal entry and exit, and not operating fans or other appliances which bring air in from outside (except for fans that are part of a radon reduction system, or small exhaust fans that operate for only short periods of time). o Before Testing: Begin closed-house conditions at least 12 hours before the start of the short-term test. o During Testing: Maintain closed-house conditions during the entire duration of the shortterm test, especially for tests less than one week in duration. o Operate home heating or cooling systems normally during the test. For tests lasting less than one week, only operate air conditioning units that recirculate interior air.
