SCOPE OF WORK

The intent of this project is to remove and remediate building 1777 of bats.  The contractor shall provide all labor, supplies and equipment needed to complete this project. 

2.1 Seal Secondary Entry Points        

The contractor shall seal all potential entry points cracks, gaps, or holes larger than a dime are sealed except for the primary exits identified during inspection.   This prevents bats from finding an alternate way back in once the exclusion begins. Materials used include caulk, steel wool, wire mesh, and flashing.

2.2 Install One-Way Exclusion Devices        

One-way doors or exclusion netting are installed over the primary entry/exit points.  These devices allow bats to leave the building to feed but prevent them from re-entering.  Common devices include plastic netting, flexible tubes, or cones.

2.3 Monitoring Period

The one-way doors are left in place for a minimum of 5-10 days to ensure all bats have successfully exited the roost.  The duration may be extended during cool or rainy weather when bats are less active.

2.4 Final Sealing

Once it is confirmed that all bats have vacated the building, the one-way devices are removed, and the final entry points are permanently sealed to complete the exclusion.

2.5 Hazardous Waste Removal

Trained technicians wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including respirators, will remove all bat guano, urine-soaked insulation, and nesting debris.  To minimize airborne dust, materials are often wetted down with a surfactant or disinfectant before removal.

2.6 Sanitization and Deodorization    

All affected areas are treated with professional-grade disinfectants and enzymatic cleaners to neutralize harmful pathogens (like the fungus that causes histoplasmosis) and eliminate persistent odors.

Prior to leaving site, contractor shall conduct site cleanup and return area to its original condition.  Removal of old equipment, debris and trash shall be removed and properly disposed of off MCAS Cherry Point base/government property.  After inspection and approval, turn all paperwork form into the Contracting Officer.
