MOLD IDENTIFICATON, CLEANING AND REMOVAL

Chester Police Station 3rd Floor Renovation Project

Visual Mold Identification

The scope of work for the Chester City Police Station renovation project requires the Contractor to clean salvageable, mold-contaminated surfaces and materials encountered during demolition and renovation of the police station. The presence of mold is not currently known; however, concealed mold or microbial growth may be encountered within walls, ceilings, or other concealed building components during renovation activities.

Cleaning Methods

If visible mold growth or water-damaged materials exhibiting microbial growth are encountered immediately stop work in the affected area and notify the Project Manager to determine the next steps for cleanup of the affected area.

The Contractor should follow the cleaning methods and use the recommended cleaning agents outlined in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publication – Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings

Mold Cleanup Preparation

Isolate the affected work area and perform all work in a manner that prevents the spread of dust throughout the building, Workers should be equipped, at a minimum, with N95 dust respirators, gloves, and goggles to protect workers during cleaning operation. Bag any mold contaminated materials that are being removed. HEPA vacuum area prior to cleaning process.

Cleaning of Contaminated Surfaces

HEPA vacuum area of mold contamination prior to wet cleaning to remove any mold containing dust

Clean salvageable non porous and semi porous materials (concrete) using methods and cleaning agents recommended by EPA

Damp wipe the area with a mild detergent to clean any remaining dust, then wipe dry.

Removal of Contaminated Materials

Remove porous building materials exhibiting visible mold growth that cannot be effectively cleaned including but not limited to gypsum board, porous ceiling tile, insulation, carpet, and carpet padding.

Carefully remove contaminated materials to minimize dust generation

Place contaminated materials directly into sealed polyethylene bags before transporting from the area.

Final Cleaning Inspection

Notify the project manager when cleaning and contaminated material removal has been completed. The project manager will make the final determination in allowing work to proceed after cleaning. The project manager reserves the right to require additional cleaning if visible contamination remains.
