About this file

This is a Lead-Based Paint Specification document prepared by Terracon Consultants, Inc. for Opportunity Home San Antonio (the Owner) regarding lead hazard removal at Alazan Apache Courts, a 685-unit multi-family residential community in San Antonio, Texas originally constructed in 1939. The project involves abatement of lead-based paint hazards identified at concentrations at or above the EPA definition of 1.0 mg/cm² across various interior and exterior components of the residential facility. Lead-based paint inspections were conducted between May and September 2025, with findings documented in separate inspection and risk assessment reports. The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for qualified contractors, including mandatory pre-bid and preconstruction meetings prior to project commencement. The Owner reserves the right to determine the final total of components to be abated based on project budget and feasibility considerations, and all bidders must provide unit pricing for each work task or component to facilitate potential change order requests should final quantities differ from estimates.

The specification requires contractors to hold current State of Texas licensing as general contractors and certification as EPA-licensed Lead Renovation Firms with certified Lead Renovators. All work must comply with EPA, OSHA, and applicable state and local regulations, including respiratory protection protocols, worker medical examinations, and comprehensive decontamination and clearance procedures. Contractors are responsible for all project costs including mobilization, labor, materials, hazardous waste disposal, permit fees, and containment preparation. The project includes provisions for interim control work and component removal and replacement, with off-site paint stripping preferred where feasible. Final clearance is contingent upon passing visual inspections and EPA-compliant dust wipe sampling with results compared to the EPA's November 2024 Final Rule standards (5 micrograms per square foot for floors, 40 micrograms per square foot for interior windowsills, and 100 micrograms per square foot for window troughs). The specification also references a Limited Asbestos Survey Report identifying asbestos-containing materials, including exterior CMU texture and door caulking, which workers must be trained to handle though disturbance of these materials is excluded from the lead abatement scope.

PROJECT DECONTAMINATION

General

A. Final Cleaning:

1. HEPA Vacuum: All surfaces in work area. Start at point farthest from main entrance and finish vacuuming back at that point. Begin at top of each room and work down.

Sequence to avoid passing through rooms already cleaned.

2. Mist critical barriers sheeting and remove.

3. HEPA vacuum area previously covered by critical barrier sheeting.

4. Perform wet detergent wash of all surfaces. Begin at point farthest from main entrance, work from top to bottom. Take care not to damage existing finishes and surfaces. Change cleaning mixture in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations or minimum after each room.

5. Wiping Work Area

a. The work area should be cleaned using a three-container method. Fill two buckets with clean water and place them in the work area with the container of cleaning solution.

b. Pour cleaning solution onto a clean cloth. Wring excess solution into one of the buckets without placing the cloth into the bucket. Wipe the work surface with the cloth. Add more cleaning solution to the cloth and continue wiping until the entire surface area has been covered. Discard all cloths used in this procedure in the disposal bag.

c. Dip and wring out a clean cloth in the first rinse bucket. Wipe off the work area. Rinse the cloth in the first bucket again and wring out thoroughly. Rinse the cloth in the second bucket and wring out thoroughly again.

December 23, 2025 ■ Terracon Project No. 9025P137

d. Continue to clean the work surface with the cloth and rinse using this procedure until the entire work surface has been cleaned. Wipe off all tools to remove any dust.

e. NOTE: The rinse water in the bucket should be changed periodically. The frequency will vary depending on the level of contamination.

6. Perform clear water wash of all surfaces in same manner as wet detergent wash.

7. After all surfaces in work area are allowed to dry, complete final HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces in same manner as first HEPA vacuuming.

8. After final cleaning perform a complete visual inspection of the entire work area including: all surfaces, ceiling, walls, floor, doorways, windows, surfaces previously covered with critical barrier sheeting, and other openings; look for debris from any source, residue on surfaces, dust or other matter. If any debris, residue, dust or other matter is found repeat final cleaning and continue decontamination procedure from that point. When the area is visually clean, complete the certification at the end of this section. Visual inspection is not complete until confirmed in writing, on the certification, by Project Monitor.

WORK AREA CLEARANCE

General

Notification and scheduling of the final inspection during the project is the responsibility of the Contractor. If abatement was performed, the contractor shall notify the regulating entity 24 hours before the project’s completion. It is recommended that the contractor assumes the potential of an initial failure of clearance sampling into the projected schedule. Additional cleaning, sample re-collection, and sample re-analysis should be considered prior to build-back activities and re-occupation of residents.

Contractor shall coordinate all LBP activities including lead work, clearances, potential re-cleaning, re-testing, build back, and re-occupation of residents with the Owner and Project Monitor. Use of areas within identified units by occupants shall be determined by the Owner.

Clearance

A. No sooner than one hour after the final cleaning and after the work area is completely dry, the following test procedure shall be performed:

1. A final visual inspection shall be conducted by the Project Monitor who is also an EPA and Texas certified lead-based paint inspector/risk assessor (i.e., clearance examiner). When applicable, an interior clearance area should have no evidence of settled dust or paint chips or paint-related debris following a cleanup effort. If dust, paint chips, or paint-related debris are observed, the Contractor will be required to reclean the work area(s) at their expense.

December 23, 2025 ■ Terracon Project No. 9025P137

2. Once the visual inspection has passed, clearance dust sampling shall be performed for interior work areas in accordance with EPA and Texas regulations. Samples should be collected in accordance with Appendix 13.1 and Chapter 15 of the HUD Guidelines and ASTM E 1728.

3. Clearance wipe samples must be analyzed for lead by a laboratory recognized by the EPA under the National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) for analysis of lead in dust.

4. Composite sampling is not allowed for clearance dust wipe samples.

5. Wipe samples should be collected after any application of a sealant on a rough, unfinished, horizontal surface, such as a floor or windowsill, not before.

6. Compare the laboratory results to the EPA's Final Rule, issued on November 12, 2024, effective January 13, 2025, with compliance after January 12, 2026 clearance standards for residual lead dust provided below:

Lead Hazards: Any Reportable Level Clearance (Floors): 5 micrograms per square foot (µg/ft2) Clearance (Interior windowsills): 40 µg/ft2 Clearance (Window troughs): 100 µg/ft2

7. Where applicable, the project monitor shall ensure that the work has been properly completed and that no deteriorated paint identified as part of the scope of work remains in the work area(s).

8. Where exterior interim control measures are performed: Exterior clearance following exterior paint work consists of a visual assessment for visible surface dust, debris and residue.

9. Where exterior abatement is performed: Soil and exterior dust sampling is required. Sampling shall consist of at least one sample taken from an adjacent exterior horizontal surface including, but not limited to, a patio, deck, porch, stoop, or common area and composite soil samples taken next to the foundation or from the dripline and any applicable bare soil areas adjacent to the exterior abatement that children, age 6 years and under, frequent. Clearance soil lead concentrations will be required to be less than 1,200 ppm in non-play areas and less than 400 ppm in play areas.

10. The Project Monitor shall immediately report the final clearance dust wipe sampling results to the Project Designer. Clearance results will be provided within 24 hours following receipt by the analytical laboratory.

December 23, 2025 ■ Terracon Project No. 9025P137

11. If clearance dust sampling fails, the work areas will need to be re-cleaned and re-tested at the Contractor’s expense.

It is recommended that the contractor assumes the potential of an initial failure of clearance sampling into the projected schedule. Additional cleaning, sample re-collection, and sample re-analysis should be considered prior to build-back activities and re-occupation of residents.

DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIAL

General

A. Per EPA, waste generated as part of LBP activities conducted at residences (which include single family homes, apartment buildings, public housing, and military barracks) is also household waste, and such wastes are excluded from RCRA’s hazardous waste management and disposal regulations. Generators of residential LBP waste do not have to make a RCRA hazardous waste determination.

B. Large waste material should be wrapped in heavy-duty sheeting (6-mil polyethylene or equivalent), and all seams should be sealed with tape during storage and transported to the appropriate landfill.

C. Small waste material (including lead-contaminated protective clothing) should be placed in heavy-duty bags (double 6-mil or 4-mil polyethylene or equivalent). The bags should be securely taped shut with gooseneck closure.

D. The waste should be stored in a designated secure (locked) area. Dumpsters should have lids and be padlocked.

E. An enclosed dumpster will be used to haul waste material to the disposal site. No rental vehicles or trailers shall be used. Vehicle selection, vehicle covers, and work practices shall assure that no lead is dispersed into the environment during the loading, transport and unloading activity, and that material is placed in the waste site without breaking any seals.

F. The Contractor shall transport the bags of waste material to the appropriate landfill.

The sealed plastic bags shall be placed into the burial site unless the bags have been broken or damaged.
