mailto:Dewayne.Knowles@va.gov mailto:diana.grube@va.gov joee Typewritten Text joee Typewritten Text 1/29/21 joee Typewritten Text The lead paint spec 02 82 33.13 states in section 1.1 to assume all painted surfaces are lead contaminated. However, there does not appear to be any direction on what lead painted items to abate or in what quantities. Please provide additional information so an apples-to-apples bid can be provided from all GC’s.

Zoe Typewritten Text Answered in previous RFI Lead abatement to remove all lead-containing paint is not required for this project. Based on previous testing all paints should be considered lead-containing and any disturbance to painted surfaces during the course of renovations should comply with the OSHA lead standard. Any of the Contractor activities that may generate leaded dust or impact a leaded surface shall be responsible for regulating their work area so that dust migration is contained properly within the regulated area. Once the work is complete, the Contractor shall be responsible for the proper clean up and disposal of leaded dust and materials. The goal is to provide a safe working environment minimizing exposure to lead-containing dusts.
