1.0 SUMMARY

A) Applicable provisions of Division 1 - General Requirements, Drawings, and other provisions and requirements of the Contract Documents apply to work of this Section. This specification is being included as part of the bid package to be followed for the removal of asbestos and lead that would be disturbed during the course of the project.

B) This Section includes the removal, control and disposal of friable and non-friable asbestos containing materials (ACM), and delaminating lead-based paint (LBP) coatings from existing building components, or the complete removal and replacement of existing building component containing LBP at Edwards Air Force Base located in Kern County, CA. The work includes, but is not limited to: the construction of temporary enclosures to isolate the work area, including providing tunnels for moving equipment and FAA personnel means of egress, the establishment of negative-air pressure within the isolated work area, the removal of ACM and LBP from the isolated work area, and the legal disposal of the removed ACM and LBP from FAA property.

1. Observe all existing conditions prior to submitting a bid. The Contractor is expected to have considered, and included in their bid, all aspects and liability of the existing conditions and their impact, particularly to cost and health and safety of workers and occupants, and proper function and operation of the facility. Additionally, the Contractor shall be aware of other work being performed. Failure to visit the site shall in no way relieve the Contractor from the necessity of furnishing materials or performing any work that may be required to complete the work in accordance with the Contract Documents without additional cost to the FAA. Additional site visits required by the Contractor, shall be scheduled with the FAA.

2. The quantities and locations of ACM and LBP and the extent of work indicated are only best estimates which are limited by the physical constraints imposed by occupancy of the facility. Accordingly, minor variations (plus or minus 10 percent) in quantities of ACM and LBP within the limits of containment for each abatement area are considered as having no impact on contract sum and contract performance period. Locations of ACM and LBP different than indicated on drawings but within the limits of containment are considered as having no impact on contract sum and contract performance period. Where additional asbestos and lead abatement work is required beyond the above variations, the contract sum and contract performance period will be adjusted under provisions of Division One of the Specifications.
