PROJECT DETAILS

This section provides a summary of the asbestos-containing materials which will be addressed as part of the bid. The scope of work and general work practice requirements are provided in the Asbestos Specification and other construction documents and attached to this Request for Proposal. The Contractor is encouraged to review all aspects of the scope of work when preparing the bid. Please include your proposed schedule in your bid documents.

20.01 Central Elementary School

Performance Environmental Services, Inc. (Performance) identified various asbestos-containing flooring mastics within the main section of the school building (refer to Performance Project #2510112, report dated 01/21/25, and Performance Project #2510164, report dated 02/04/25, copies are located in Appendix 1). The abatement will include removal of all installed flooring materials including carpeting, floor tiles, floor mastics, and covebase materials but the scope of work will exclude ceramic floor tiles and associated bedding materials. Please note that the approximate quantities were detailed within the original report #2510112. The approximate quantities within report #2510164 are not additional quantities; instead, they were accounted for within the first report (#2510112).

No asbestos abatement activities will be required within the gymnasium and the adjacent hallway/rooms directly to the west.

The entire area cannot be released for work at one time; therefore, the work will be completed in phases although the phases will be larger. In addition, the flooring in the multi-purpose room will need to be abated during spring break (Sunday, March 29 – Sunday, April 6, 2025) when the building will become available (refer to map in Performance #2510112 report within Appendix 1 or the map in Appendix 2). Please note that the abatement of the asbestos-containing flooring mastics will require non-chemical methods (i.e. grinding).

The accessible work hours allow for a M-F, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. schedule to complete the project. Initial work at the site can begin during spring break (Sunday, March 29 – Sunday, April 6, 2025) with the remainder of the work beginning on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 after school year has ended. Please include your proposed schedule for project completion in your bid documents.

This provision in no way constitutes a waiver by the Contractor of his/her responsibilities to conduct said projects in accordance with all applicable regulations and in accordance with these specifications. This provision is set forth and is intended to provide LCS and/or Performance with the power to require additional steps to be taken to ensure that the projects proceed in a manner to fully, to the utmost extent possible, protect LCS and/or Performance, as well as the general public, from risks and liability associated with such projects.

After the bids are received, tabulated and evaluated by LCS and/or Performance, and the apparent lowest qualified Bidder(s) for each Bid item has been determined, the Bidder(s) agrees to meet with LCS and/or Performance, if so requested. For purposes of these meetings, the Bidder agrees to provide any post bid information as listed in the General Conditions. The Bidder, if awarded a contract, agrees to commence all pre-project planning and preparation activities upon receipt of a written “Notice to Proceed/Letter of Intent” and to fully complete their work in accordance with and to conform to the activity dates and durations set forth in the project detail documents.

The signature of a representative for the Bidder on each applicable project constitutes a full and complete agreement with the Project Specifications and the Bidder’s Agreement and Certification.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL PROJECTS

The following general project requirements pertain to all of the asbestos abatement projects at the LCS building covered by this Request for Bid.

1. The Contractor is strongly encouraged to document all existing conditions prior to the start of the project in order to support pre-project damage. In all situations where damages are listed on work lists or punch lists by the Owner, the Contractor will be provided one week (seven - 7 - calendar days) to complete corrective measures. After the seven-day period, the Owner or Performance will complete the corrective measures at the Contractor’s expense. The Contractor will be required to dedicate two laborers for general clean-up activities throughout the building (as directed by the Owner or Performance) for two days for each project to address “punch list” type items such as pieces of tape/poly or tape/glue residue. The dates will be coordinated at the completion of all abatement activities.

2. The Owner reserves the right to re-order projects following award of contract. Should the order of any projects change, all durations, including scheduled Saturday workdays, will remain the same.

3. The Contractor will not close or obstruct roadways or sidewalks without proper permission and will not obstruct required exits at any time. The Contractor will conduct operations in a manner to minimize obstruction of public and private entrances and exits.

4. The Contractor must provide a site-specific Health and Safety Plan and written Respiratory Protection

Program to Performance prior to any work beginning on-site.

5. Additional testing of materials for asbestos-content may only be completed by the owner’s representative.

Contractor is not permitted to sample materials for asbestos content within the owner’s facility nor contract sampling to a third-party.

6. The owner’s representative will provide environmental area and clearance air monitoring. The Contractor will be responsible for compliance to personal breathing zone air monitoring as detailed in 29 CFR

1926.1101 and the Asbestos Specification.

7. Power and water will be available onsite.
