Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified sources for Asbestos, Lead Based Paint, and other Hazardous Material (ALBHM) Survey Testing Services at the Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center in Long Beach, CA. This RFI is for market research and planning purposes only, not a solicitation. Responses are due by June 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time.
Purpose & Overview
The VA requires an updated ALBHM survey for all buildings at the Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center to ensure compliance with Veterans Health Administration Directive 7714 (Asbestos Management Plan), as no Phase I Site Assessment has been conducted in the past five years. This RFI aims to gather information on potential qualified sources and their capabilities to inform future acquisition decisions.
Scope of Work
The contractor will perform a visual evaluation and sampling of potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint (LBP), radon gas, PCBs, mercury, and other hazardous materials. The survey will cover approximately 1.2 million square feet across all buildings and structures on the 100-acre Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center campus. Specific tasks include:
- Testing for ACM (e.g., mastic adhesive, TSI, drywall, roofing, transite pipes).
- Testing for LBP on surfaces and ceramic tile glaze.
- Testing for Mercury and PCBs (e.g., electrical switches, ballasts, oils).
- Radon testing in ground-contact rooms and 10% of upper-floor rooms.
- Visual inspection for containerized hazardous substances (e.g., refrigerants, storage tanks).
- Potholing survey for soil samples to test for gasoline/diesel/oil range organics, BTEX, and lead. All work must comply with VALBMC, Local, State, and Federal codes and laws.
Deliverables
Key deliverables include:
- An ALBHM Survey Report with detailed findings, recommendations, and a summary table spreadsheet compatible with ArcGIS.
- AutoCAD (.dwg) or similar color drawings showing ALBHM and sample locations.
- An Asbestos Management Plan, including an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) plan compliant with 40 CFR 763.91.
