INSULATION/AIR BARRIER 
 
Estimate cost to insulate in accordance with Arizona Weatherization energy efficiency standards and 
installation methods. Insulation must be evenly installed with no voids, gaps, misalignments, or 
compression issues. Precautions must be taken when insulating around or on electrical boxes and/or heat 
producing fixtures. Proper shielding, if necessary, shall be installed by insulation contractor in order to 
properly insulate all areas. The contractor is responsible for air sealing around all accessible existing 
penetrations through the air barrier including combustion vents, plumbing vents, and all exposed soffits to 
ensure the insulations performance. For attic insulation, all wall cavities and drop downs that are exposed 
to attic shall be capped with like material in attic, and insulated over or filled with insulation to assure 
insulation is in direct contact with air barrier. The contractor is responsible for installing enough insulation 
to guarantee an R-38 value after settling. ALL attic access hatches shall have a gasket installed to ensure 
no air leakage, and attic hatches in conditioned space shall have rigid foam secured to hatch to match R 
value of insulation installed. All work must be performed in accordance to the SWS from the DOE. Refer to  
https://sws.nrel.gov/ under Insulation in Subtopics 4.1006 and sequential subtopics. 
 
All Insulation product must meet or exceed EPA recovered material rule which can be found at  
https://www.epa.gov/smm/comprehensive-procurement-guideline-cpg-program. 
 
All change orders must be approved by County prior to performing additional work. 
 
Insulation amount shall also be identified at nearest or easiest attic access point. After completion, all jobs 
will be inspected by the contractor’s auditor to assure quality installation. Complete installation must include 
all labor and materials to perform services. The contractor MUST provide details on each invoice listing 
actual R-value, type of material used, quantity of material, and square foot covered. 
 
The contractor is responsible for protecting the client’s personal items during insulation (e.g., cover clothing 
if accessing the attic in a closet, etc.) and for leaving the job site clean and hauling away job debris. 
 
Project commencement and completion must be accomplished within 30 working days of receipt of notice

MANUFACTURED HOUSING INSULATION 
 
Estimate to insulate manufactured housing in accordance with Arizona Weatherization energy efficiency 
standards and installation methods. Insulation must be evenly installed with no voids, gaps, misalignments, or 
compression issues. Precautions must be taken when insulating around or on electrical boxes and/or heat 
producing fixtures. Proper shielding, if necessary, shall be installed by insulation contractor in order to 
properly insulate all areas. The contractor is responsible for air sealing around all accessible existing 
penetrations through the air barrier including combustion vents, plumbing vents and all exposed soffits to 
ensure the insulations performance. For attic insulation, all wall cavities and drop downs that are exposed to 
attic shall be capped and insulated over or filled with insulation to assure insulation is in direct contact with 
air barrier. 
 
Because the installation of insulation in manufactured housing relies so heavily on proper air sealing 
techniques, any contractor insulating the lid of any mobile home is responsible for insuring that all necessary 
prep work, such as air sealing and blocking, is completed to the Standard Work Specifications (SWS) for 
manufactured housing specifications. Because of the air sealing, belly patching, and duct sealing involved in 
insulating the floor of mobile homes properly, any contractor hired to insulate the floors will be responsible for 
the necessary prep work of the floor, rodent barrier and duct sealing before insulation is installed. 
Cellulose will not be an acceptable insulation in manufactured housing. Only blown-in fiberglass or 
Rockwool is acceptable. 
 
All insulation must be installed in complete contact with a verified air barrier. The air barrier is the surface of 
the floor or roof assembly that shows a zonal pressure differential of over 40 Pascal (“Pa”) WRT inside, with 
the home WRT outside at a pressure difference of 50 Pa. Included in your bid for the insulation will be the 
prep work necessary to verify or create the appropriate air barriers. 
 
All work must be performed in accordance to the Standard Work Specifications from DOE. Refer to  
https://sws.nrel.gov/ under Insulation in Subtopic 4.1006 and sequential subtopics. 
 
All Insulation product must meet or exceed EPA recovered material rule which can be found at  
https://www.epa.gov/smm/comprehensive-procurement-guideline-cpg-program. 
 
All change orders must be approved by the County prior to performing additional work. 
 
Insulation amount shall also be identified at nearest or easiest access point. After completion, all jobs will 
be inspected by the contractor’s auditor to assure quality installation. Complete installation must include all 
labor and materials to perform services. The contractor MUST provide details on each invoice listing actual 
R-value, type of material used, quantity of material, and square foot covered. 
 
The contractor is responsible for protecting the client’s personal items during insulation (e.g., cover clothing if 
accessing the attic in a closet, etc.) and for leaving the job site clean and hauling away job debris. 
 
The contractor must include permit fees (if applicable) labor, tax, and materials in the project cost estimate. 
Below statements assume a 14’ by 70’ mobile home. 
Attic insulation can be performed by any of the processes highlighted in the BPI Manufactured Housing 
Technical Standards. Attic insulation will include all patching and cool roof coating on metal skinned roofing 
over insulated areas of the home.
