Specifications:
1. Existing Materials: Please verify where NPS procured the current timbers on site?
NPS Response: The timbers listed as Government Furnished Materials were procured during a project in 2008 to reconstruct the National Creek Trestle. The timbers were procured from Matheus Lumber.
2. Hazardous Materials: Guys…..considering the general cross contaminations of the hazards you have listed in the soils and in the paints…..would it not be safe to assume that all the dusts within the building contain these hazards to various levels?
NPS Response: Yes, dust within the building should be considered to have potential for exposure to contaminates.
3. Hazardous Materials: A lot of manual work has to be done on the inside of the Mill Building related to the structural improvements ?? A lot of these dusts will be disturbed and made airborne …..has this been made apparent in the specifications for worker safety?
NPS Response: Yes it has. The NPS also emphasized the potential hazards in the prebid meeting held on 9/10/19. See the prebid meeting notes, item 11, second bullet which reads:
• The Contractor must incorporate additional health and safety measures to protect workers from potential exposure to contaminants, including elevated concentrations of lead and arsenic in area dust and soils. Refer to specification section 01 88 00 as well as supplemental reports for addition information and requirements.
i. Intrusive activities at the site, both interior-based (e.g., demolition, remodeling, architectural renovation) and exterior-based (e.g., earthmoving) shall be considered hazardous, and having the potential to expose involved personnel to contaminant levels above OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs).
ii. The contractor to incorporate the use of real time air monitoring to validate that engineering controls, work practices, and PPE are adequate.
