Amy M. Burger Contract Specialist RFI Clarifications

1. Drawing HA101 Hazardous Materials 3rd Floor Asbestos Abatement Plan – the only abatement called out in the drawings is the note shown in the snip below from drawing HA101.

0.

1. The SCOPE OF WORK document included (as an attachment to the bid doc.’s) shows the following (snip below).

1. SCOPE OF WORK APPENDIX A (pages 5-7 of the Scope of Work) shows the snips below (notes pertaining to Bldg. 406 2nd Floor and 3rd Floor.

1. The demolition drawing shows the wood grain vinyl composite engineered flooring to be demolished / removed but drawing HA101does not show it or it’s mastic as being asbestos that needs to be abated. Note 1. Above from the SCOPE OF WORK document says “Blk old floor mastic likely has not been removed and should be assumed”. Should our base bid “assume” that all the wood grain vinyl composite engineered floor be abated? FYI, if the mastic under this floor must be abated, then the entire flooring assembly including the asbestos containing mastic will need to be removed by a certified asbestos abatement subcontractor. Demolition Laborers CANNOT remove the vinyl flooring if the mastic is positive. The $25,000 dollar allowance outlined in item C.5. of the SCOPE OF WORK will NOT cover the cost to remove the vinyl composite engineered flooring if the mastic is determined to be positive for asbestos.

Answer: Yes, bidders are to price the bid assuming that they have to abate all the ACM listed in Item 5 of the SOW and anything shown in the Appendix. There was to be an added amount ($25K) to test for and abate any unknown ACM they might run into that was not outlined in the drawings provided.

HA101 cannot show ACM other than what is clearly present in the PTAC units. However, the VA knows from the asbestos inventory that there is other asbestos present but not the exact location. The possibility of other asbestos has been included in the SOW and in the Appendix A. Part of the project involves testing for and abating unknown asbestos.

Known Asbestos:

· Transite Panels behind PTAC Units

· Friable Pipe Insulation within the walls

· Friable and non-friable flooring materials - black mastic on third floor

· Sealant on duct work on the second floor

1. Same idea as #4 above pertaining to Note 3 above – There is ductwork removal called out in the ceiling of the 2nd Floor, the note above says the brown sealant on the duct joints throughout 2nd floor is positive for ACM, BUT the HA101 drawing does not state anything about ductwork material on 2nd floor having to be abated and/or any material on the second floor being positive for asbestos.

A. Should our base bid “assume” that the ductwork on second floor will have to be abated / removed by an asbestos abatement subcontractor?

Answer:

A. Yes. The duct work on the second floor is to be abated and costs included in base bid.

B. In addition to that question, should our base bid “assume” that all the ductwork on 3rd floor contains the same brown sealant that contains asbestos, therefor it will need to be abated also?

Answer:

B. No. Renovation work on second and third floors were completed at different times. The brown sealant is not reported as present in the Asbestos Survey (Appendix A). However, it would be prudent, prior to demolition, to look for this sealant and if found test to confirm it is an asbestos containing material (ACM). The $25000 line item added to everyone’s bid is to be used to test unidentified and suspect ACM. If this amount of money is insufficient, then a change order will be required.
