STATEMENT OF WORK

TESTING DIRT CRAWL SPACES

COATESVILLE VAMC

1. SCOPE

A. The contractor shall provide all management, labor, supplies, transportation, and equipment to sample soil basement crawl spaces for the presence and level of presence of asbestos.

B. All contractor services shall be performed in a manner that ensures the health and general well-being of patients, staff, and visitors, while remaining in compliance with State, Local, and Federal environmental regulations.

C. All Federal, state, and local laws will be strictly followed.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Contractor shall test all dirt crawl spaces using scientifically random sampling procedures (See Attachments A and B for examples). If contractor would like to use a different random sampling procedure, it must be approved by the Contracting Officer (CO) prior to work start.

B. Sampling will be conducted by an asbestos competent person and supervised by asbestos competent supervisors. All certifications and licenses will be maintained by the contractor.

C. Surface asbestos tests shall be taken in each crawl space identified in “Section 3 LOCATIONS SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED” of this SOW.

I. If it is deemed fewer or additional samples need to be taken, it will be discussed between contractor and CO prior to sampling.

D. Contractor will create diagrams of each the crawl spaces and identify the locations of the random samples.

E. 25% of Contractor staff going into the crawl spaces will wear personal air monitoring devices which will be tested for exposure levels. Those air samples will be tested using phase contrast microscopy (PCM). Those results will be given to the COR.

F. Contractor shall test all dirt samples using polarized light microscopy (PLM).

I. All negative samples will be further tested using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) II. Contractor shall provide all dirt sample results to the COR within 10 business days of sampling.

G. The laboratory utilized shall be certified by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) and National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP).

4. Working Conditions A. Dirt to be tested is in locations that are without:

I. Temperature control II. Water/fire suppression III. Elevators IV. Established/fixed electrical lighting B. Crawl spaces are small and will require workers with the physical ability to crawl, climb, squeeze into tight spaces, and maneuver around pipes.
