Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is soliciting proposals for Lead Dust Cleaning and Lead Wipe Testing Services for Quarters 2 at its New London, CT facility.

Scope of Work
Contractors are required to perform comprehensive lead dust cleaning, including all window wells, windowsills, hardwood floors, carpet, front porch, bathroom/kitchen tile, basement floor/windows/windowsills, and garage floor. HEPA vacuuming of reachable outside window ledges is also required. All carpet must be covered in 6-mil plastic during cleaning. A third-party lead wipe test is mandatory, with samples taken from specific locations per room, adhering to EPA regulations for clearance testing. All work must comply with Federal HUD, EPA, and Connecticut State Agency regulations, ensuring specific lead dust limits (e.g., floors below 5 ug/ft², window wells below 100 ug/ft²).
