The hotel is to have a written interior moisture prevention and water intrusion event management program that includes aggressive drying using mold remediation industry standard type dehumidifiers, fans and drying methods. This plan and process must be provided to the VA as part of the bid package and put in place within 24 hours of awareness of a water intrusion event occurring. The VA COR will be notified immediately if more than 50 square feet of building surface or carpet is impacted by a water intrusion/leak event. Once notification of water intrusion event, TVHS Inspection team will perform visual inspection within 24 hours. 96 hours later the same TVHS inspection team will reevaluate, ensuring that the clean-up process was completed and that no additional testing is required. KEY COMPONENTS of a written interior moisture prevention and water intrusion event management program to prevent mold from colonizing the interior of a building by eliminating or limiting the conditions that foster mold establishment and growth. The plan should include but not be limited to the following: Immediate visual inspection of occurring water issues. Rapid drying using commercial grade moisture meters, dehumidifiers, and water extraction and drying equipment. Quick and effective response to water intrusion to prevent or greatly reduce fungal growth and occupant exposure to mold and other bio aerosols. Must be dry by approximately 15% moisture within 48 hours of the leak event to satisfactorily prevent colonizing mold growth. Recognize, examine and dry the hidden places (below carpet pad, wall interiors etc.) where moisture and mold can occur. Fix leaks to plumbing or building envelope as soon as possible taking emergency steps to temporarily slow or stop water intrusion. Prevent moisture condensation by lowering the relative humidity in the inside air or by increasing surface temperatures where condensation is occurring. Avoid as much as possible covering walls with vinyl wall covering especially on cold temperature impacted walls. Vent moisture generating equipment such as in laundry or kitchen areas outside. Maintain indoor humidity below 60% (30%-50% is ideal). Ensure foundations/basements or crawl spaces are maintained in a dry condition. The VA reserves the right at its expense to periodically sample for elevated levels of airborne hydrophilic mold looking especially for molds associated with known or suspected water intrusion events. The VA reserves the right to do a visual assessment of environmental and safety conditions at the contract facility on a quarterly basis or at the time of a reported water intrusion event or other safety event impacting VA patients. Elevated numbers of indoor hydrophilic mold associated with water intrusion events (equal to or greater than what is found outside) from the water intrusion event area and/or in chosen non-water intrusion event rooms would be grounds for further patient protective action. Acceptable levels defined in Para 3.8.0. Once awarded the contractor is to perform baseline testing to demonstrate that the facility does not have a history of water intrusion events. The hotel should contract with a Certified Industrial Hygienist with mold sampling experience, to assess the levels and species of mold contamination present. Elevated numbers of hydrophilic mold (equal to or greater than what is found outside) from a minimum of 10 randomly chosen rooms would indicate that IAQ levels may not be satisfactory to properly protect occupants and that a history of water intrusion may have occurred. In the event of a catastrophic water event, facility or COR will coordinate with Contractor to move patients to clinically acceptable areas within the facility. If the entire building is deemed inhabitable, a new location meeting all the requirements must be provided at the expense of the contractor. The attached inspection form will be used by the VA inspection group to determine if there are any indications of water intrusion events that would necessitate further inspection, air testing and possible patient protection action. (Attachment A) The VA inspection team will use the attached check list (Attachment B) in completing a quarterly fire and safety inspection as a documentation process. Inspection team will include: Contracting Officer Representative (COR) Infectious Control Environment of Care Staff Member Industrial Hygienist Safety Officer Miscellaneous: No activity to the building and/or grounds that would cause an increase in dust, dirt or spores to be airborne (i.e., renovation to the building, movement of earth on the grounds) shall take place without the contractor's written notification to the VA at least seven (7) calendar days in advance of the event. If the building is partially or totally destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty so that the space is not tenantable as determined by the Government, the government may terminate the contract for convenience as per FAR 52.249. The contractor shall maintain the premises, including the building and all equipment, fixtures, and appurtenances furnished by the contractor under this contract, in good repair and tenantable condition.
