Where conflicts occur between the Project Documents and applicable codes, rules, and regulations, the more stringent shall apply. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the requirements of this specification are solely the Contractor’s responsibility.

B. This asbestos abatement project will consist of the removal and disposal of asbestos containing materials as part of the scheduled roof demolition. All regulations and procedures as specified herein are to be followed in the abatement of all hazardous materials.

C. The work shall include, but not be limited to, the removal of asbestos-containing roofing materials

– specifically, the black tar applied to the lightning protection ground wires found on the elevator penthouse and upper main roof is an ACM.

1. All openings and penetrations in the building within 25 feet of the immediate hazardous material removal work shall be completely shut or sealed airtight to prevent fiber migration into the building.

2. HEPA filters covering AHU or HVAC intakes or exhausts that cannot be turned off is an acceptable option. Notify the Government of such conditions before creating the final abatement plan.

D. The Contractor shall be aware of all conditions of the Project and is responsible for verifying quantities and locations of all Work to be performed. Failure to do so shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to furnish all labor and materials necessary to perform the work.

E. The Contractor shall coordinate all work with the work of other trades.

1.2 SPECIAL JOB CONDITIONS

A. The facility will remain occupied during abatement. Currently no other special conditions exist.

B. Access to roofing and material removals shall be contained and restricted to the south section of the middle roof and loading dock area. No transfer of any materials, workers, etc. shall be though or within the building itself. Refer also to paragraph 1.4 A.5 for further work plan restrictions and requirements.

1.3 PERMITS AND COMPLIANCE

A. The Contractor shall assume full responsibility and liability for compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to Work practices, protection of Workers, authorized visitors to the site, persons, and property adjacent to the Work.
