Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVFACSYSCOM ATLANTIC, is soliciting proposals for the removal and remediation of bats from Building 1777 at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, North Carolina. This acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside and seeks contractors to provide all labor, supplies, and equipment for the project.
Scope of Work
The project involves comprehensive bat removal and remediation services for Building 1777. Key tasks include:
- Sealing Secondary Entry Points: Sealing all cracks, gaps, or holes larger than a dime, excluding primary exits, using materials like caulk, steel wool, wire mesh, and flashing.
- Installing One-Way Exclusion Devices: Placing devices such as plastic netting, flexible tubes, or cones over primary entry/exit points to allow bats to leave but prevent re-entry.
- Monitoring Period: Maintaining one-way devices for a minimum of 5-10 days to ensure all bats have exited, with potential extensions for cool/rainy weather.
- Final Sealing: Removing one-way devices and permanently sealing all entry points once bat vacating is confirmed.
- Hazardous Waste Removal: Trained technicians, using appropriate PPE (including respirators), will remove bat guano, urine-soaked insulation, and nesting debris, often wetting materials to minimize airborne dust.
- Sanitization and Deodorization: Treating affected areas with professional-grade disinfectants and enzymatic cleaners to neutralize pathogens and eliminate odors.
- Site Cleanup: Removing old equipment, debris, and trash from MCAS Cherry Point base/government property and returning the area to its original condition.
