and telephone numbers) for whom similar work has been performed shall be included and the list shall include all similar contracts performed by the Applicant in the past two (2) years, particularly any contracts with Weatherization Assistance Program sub - grantees. The evaluators will randomly select at least three of these references, but the evaluators reserve the right to contact all the references listed, if information from the three references contacted warrant further inquiry. Additionally, the applicant should use this section to demonstrate their ability to: — Manage a crew of installers so that weatherization work is conducted safely, effectively and efficiently; — Ensure that job site and installers comply with lead -safe work practices and OSHA requirements; — Understand a work order; — Maintain quality control of weatherization work and ensure it meets program standards; — Order and obtain materials, supplies and equipment in time to avoid delays and wasted time on the job site; and — Warehouse materials as necessary to avoid delays in completing weatherization work. Applicants should also demonstrate that they have the proper tools and equipment to perform diagnostics and install weatherization measures, including: — Blower Door I A powerful fan that mounts into the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside. The higher outside air pressure then flows in through all unsealed cracks and openings. The auditors may use a smoke pencil to detect air leaks. These tests determine the air infiltration rate of a building. Blower doors consist of a frame and flexible panel that fit in a doorway and a variable -speed fan. — Manometer I A pressure gauge used to determine air leaks in building and duct systems. They can also be used to test combustion appliances for adequate draft and perform zonal pressure diagnostics. — Pressure Pan I A duct leakage diagnostic tool which is used along with a Blower Door to identify exterior air leaks in forced air duct systems. Pressure pans do not directly measure leakage rates. Rather, a pressure pan is used to measure the pressure difference between the house and a duct run during a Blower Door test. This pressure reading can be used to estimate the degree to which a particular duct run is connected to the outside. — Insulation Blowing Machine I all fiber, positive displacement that can blow both cellulose and fiberglass insulation. It must be capable of handling 2000- 3000lbs of insulation per hour. The static pressure at the end of hose 2.9 pounds per square inch or 80 inches of water column. The generator used to power the insulation blowing machine must have enough wattage to run the machine. This will usually be above 9500 watts, but manufacturer's recommendation, if higher, should be followed. Please note that most of the insulation machines available for rent at general hardware stores do not have enough power to dense pack a side wall to 3.5 pounds per cubic foot and cannot be used for weatherization. — General Construction Tools I Ladders, drills, hammers, and saws. Subcontractors must also have personal protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, disposable suites, kneepads, and professionally fitted HEPA respirators. C. Project Staffing and Organization This section shall not exceed five (5) pages in length. This section must include the proposed staffing, deployment and organization of personnel to be assigned to this project. The Applicant shall provide information as to the qualifications and experience of all executive, managerial and legal personnel and laborers to be assigned to this Solicitation No. 2011WXSSP Pape 12 of 53 Attachment number 1 F -4 Page 124
