Test for radon in areas of highest concerns of VA Maine as compliant with National Radon testing procedures. Purpose of testing is to determine initial levels of Radon decay as a precursor to continual radon monitoring or possible course of action to install active mitigation systems. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined lowering the radon levels to acceptable federal levels (4.0 pCI/L), with the recommendation that anything over (2.7 pCi/L) be considered for remediation. Along with these testing procedures include the quality assurance practice of periodic duplication, spike testing, and blind testing at acceptable limits to ensure accuracy. The testing shall be implemented in an extensive complex to include large building structures, residential homes, subterranean corridors, and clinical/medical areas. Include thirty-eight (38) structures as deemed by VA Maine, and encompass the use of upwards of one hundred-eighty (180) tests with a minimum of one hundred sixty-six (166) to be determined at actual placement. Primarily test those areas that are mostly sub-floor (basement/crawlspace), or areas prone for possible exacerbation on first inhabitable levels of structures that may possess levels of radon exposure. Place testers and quantities as appropriate for accurate industry standards and sufficient to obtain true readings of the space. Perform testing in a manner that will minimize the variation of controls caused by human intervention whereas is possible. Test with active ventilation already in place operating as normally to ensure established common practices are in place presently. Contractor will Furnish all materials, labor, and reports detailing the findings with the above specifications. Conduct a single measurement session based on guidelines for assessment of large building structures. VA Maine will consider an elongated (multiple) measurement session to lower the cost due for the ability to use more mechanical monitoring, and less lab processing. The test shall include placement and cataloging of tests, processing of test via computerized testing modules or independent authorized testing facilities, conducting procedures to ensure proper readings and quality assurance measures, a formalized report detailing the findings of tests, and a plan of action showing areas of concern or needing mitigation action (the A&A requirements do not apply - a Security Accreditation Package is not required). Provide subsequent follow-up of proposed mitigation needs as necessary for areas highlighted from reports.
