ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION

NOTIFICATION TO EMPLOYEES AND OCCUPANTS REGARDING THE PRESENCE OF ASBESTOS

CONTAINING MATERIAL AT

Richard Bolling Federal Building 601 E. 12th St, Kansas City, MO 64106

This notification is being furnished to inform you about asbestos containing material (ACM) in this building and to provide the information required by regulation and GSA asbestos policy in order to help you avoid any unintentional contact with the ACM, to assure that appropriate precautionary measures are taken before disturbing any ACM, and to assist in making appropriate disclosures to employees and others.

GSA has engaged qualified asbestos consultants to survey the building for asbestos and to develop an asbestos management plan that includes, among other things, periodic re-inspection and surveillance, work procedures and other measure to minimize potential fiber release, emergency fiber release procedures.

During any period when work is being done in areas containing ACM, the area will be closed to all but those workers involved in the project. Please observe posted signs and comply with all instruction regarding access to the area.

With respect to any asbestos containing material remaining in the building, GSA has no reason to believe that such asbestos is currently in a condition to release asbestos fibers, which would pose significant health hazard to the building’s occupants; this should remain so if such ACM is properly handled and remains undisturbed. At the present time, all ACM in this building is in good condition and poses no health and safety concern to the occupants, and 100% contained.

The following asbestos containing materials and suspect/presumed asbestos containing materials are present at this building when a survey was conducted in 2020:

Because any tenant alteration or other work at the property could disturb ACM and possibly release asbestos fibers into the air, or asbestos dust onto surfaces, GSA must require that you obtain our written approval prior to beginning such projects. This includes major alterations as well as minor improvement, renovation, remodeling, etc., work including but not limited to telecommunications or computer lines upgrade, sanding or finishing floors, removing flooring, removing ceilings, removing walls, or other work which disturbs ACM.

In many cases, such activities will not affect ACM, but you must check with the building manager in advance, just in case. The building manager will make available such instruction as may be required. An individual or contractor who is not qualified to handle ACM should not attempt any such work.

If you have any questions, please contact our Stefanie Walters, Building Manager at 816-426-

Sincerely, GSA Building Management

816-426-3963
