HVAC Action Plan
I.
1) Contact the building owner, manager, and/or engineer to obtain
information on the HVAC systems and activities performed by the building
owner in relation to the HVAC after 9/11/2001.
2) Examine report for each of the HVAC Systems from the contracted
Environmental Consultants.
3) If the system requires cleaning, contact the cleaning/HVAC contractors to
see if the work can be performed in accordance with the existing scope of
work.
II.
1. Review/revise the checklist and scope-of-work with USEPA and NYCDEP
HVAC consultants.
2. Meet with HVAC inspectors to identify what is expected in the evaluation,
checklist content and report preparation to ensure consistent investigations
and standardize reporting. Particular attention shall be focused on the
revised checklist.
3. Schedule QA/QC on the Consultants report and evaluation as needed and
triggered according to pre-established criteria for QA/QC. The QA/QC on the
Consultants findings shall be performed by a separate independent contractor
under a new contract with the NYCDEP. The QA/QC shall include an
independent evaluation of the HVAC system and submittal of findings in
writing to the NYCDEP. The QA/QC will include a review of the original report
and examination of the system.
