The PSB is situated in the historic Capitol Hill area. The City Post Office, as the PSB was originally called, was planned at the turn of the century, and totally renovated by 1992. In addition to BLS, the PSB is occupied by several other federal agencies, Building Management Staff of the General Services Administration (GSA), and the building’s facility management contractor. A Capital City Brewery restaurant is located off the historic lobby. The PSB has a total of eight floors, the parking level being the lowest, then the ground floor, then floors one through six. In 1997, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) developed and implemented an Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Program plan specific for BLS at the Postal Square Building. The plan encompasses management of indoor air quality, drinking water quality, non-potable water microbial contamination control, and pest control practices. The IEQ Program plan specifies the frequency and extent of environmental quality testing. The program requires background indoor air quality (total volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde), drinking water quality (lead, copper, iron and bacterial), and cooling tower water Legionella bacteria testing at least two times a year. All IEQ test results are entered into an IEQ Database Management System designed to track and monitor BLS IEQ issues in the PSB. II.Scope of Work To maintain acceptable indoor environmental quality in BLS occupied space in the PSB, the contractor shall conduct periodic sampling of indoor air, drinking water, and cooling tower water testing and analysis as specified in the BLS IEQ Program plan. The contractor shall provide a full spectrum of environmental, safety and health and scientific support services to the Bureau. Contractor staff must have professional environmental, safety and health certifications including certified industrial hygienists, certified safety professionals, and staff experienced in performing environmental, safety and health services for government clients. The contractor shall have experience in performing comprehensive surveys, studies and monitoring to identify, assess and control chemical, physical and biological hazards, and provide the client agency with appropriate recommendations for remediation. Additionally, the contractor shall provide indoor air quality investigation testing and support on an as needed basis.
