2) A TCLP test shall be performed in order to dispose of the lead paint waste materials into a land fill. The lead-specific TCLP test simulates landfill-leaching conditions; specifically, how much lead will leach out of the waste when exposed to typical landfill conditions. If the leachable amount of lead is equal to or greater than 5.0 milligrams per liter (mg/L), the waste is classified as hazardous waste.

3) The Contractor shall abide by all state and federal regulations and codes. All work shall comply with codes and standards applicable to each type of work through the course of this project. The contractor shall also comply with the requirements of GSA BuildGreen standards, and PBS P-100.

5) The following information is provided for bidding purposes only. The contractor is advised to conduct a site visit and field-verify the exact information required for use in completing the work and submitting an offer.

6) No asbestos or lead containing materials shall be used.

7) The contractor is responsible for the protection of all existing building property surfaces from damage due to work performed under this contract. Damages to existing surfaces caused by the performance of this contract shall be repaired as to match the existing surface finish at no additional cost to the Government.

8) The Contractor shall remove all debris generated in the performance of this contract daily.

9) The contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent any dust or debris from filtering into other parts of the building including but not limited to mechanical systems.
