- Description
- RFI Questions and Answers Specification 013526 paragraph 1.7.A touches upon the necessity for an SSHO. Can the SSHO act as the superintendent, or must they be distinct individuals? Section 1.7 does not specify the need for a separate SSHO position so it can share collateral duties with the superintendent for this project. Specification 013526 paragraph 1.8.B states that CPs should have finished the OSHA 30 within the last 5 years. Some VAs claim they cannot maintain this 5-year stipulation as OSHA cards don't expire. Conversely, other VAs assert that this 5-year rule is by the VA and hence will be upheld. For our current project, will this 5-year criterion be observed? What occurs at other VA facilities has no impact on safety practices at WNY. The 5 year requirement comes from the TIL spec and it will be enforced in this project. Specification 013526 paragraph 1.8.D indicates that all other workers ought to possess an OSHA 10. Is it mandatory for the OSHA 10 to be acquired within the last 5 years? The specification doesn't specify. There is no time requirement for the OSHA 10 hour and can be outside the 5 years. Specification 013526 paragraph 1.8.A asserts that the SSHO, among other qualifications, should have an OSHA 30. Is the OSHA 30 completion within a 5-year window obligatory? The specification doesn't clarify. The SSHO position must have a OSHA 30 completed in the last 5 years because the SSHO is the prime contractor s Competent Person. Specification 013526 paragraph 1.4.B.4.i refers to plans to be incorporated in the APP. Which plans does the government intend to mandate for our undertaking? The specification seems broad and vague, given its application across various projects, leading to potential ambiguity. Kindly provide guidance. All the plans listed in paragraph 1.4.B.4 must be addressed. If they are not applicable given the required work then those sections can be stated that they do not apply with a reason that they do not apply. If there is a specific question regarding the applicability of a certain safety program a meeting can be set up at a later date with the safety office to review the PCRA and discuss specific requirements of hazardous work.
