2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

2.1. CLIN #1 Abate Campground Comfort Station Roofing Material

2.1.1. Campground comfort stations have men’s and women’s restrooms, a utility sink room, and mechanical room. The six structures included in this project were built in the 1950s and 1960s in three separate projects.

2.1.2. Asbestos-containing materials have been positively identified in the roofing system of several of these buildings, according to the attached hazmat reports; however, it is believed that the roofing system of all six buildings contains asbestos. The work under this CLIN shall be performed under the assumption that the roofing system of all six buildings contain asbestos.

2.1.3. Refer to the available as-built drawings for the comfort stations. All comfort stations have a similar roofing system, described as follows:

a. Roof area, approximate:

1) Two Medicine B#535 and B#536: 594 square feet

2) St Mary B#1019, B#1020, B#1022: 492 square feet

3) St Mary B#1133: 631 square feet

b. Roof perimeter of lumber fascia boards and metal drip edge, approximate:

1) Two Medicine B#535 and B#536: 97 linear feet

2) St Mary B#1019, B#1020, B#1022: 91 linear feet

3) St Mary B#1133: 100 linear feet

c. 1:12 roof slope with high point at center

d. Approximate 8’ roof height above grade

e. Roof structure typically consisting of the following, from bottom to top (the roof structure may vary some from building to building):

1) Bottom layer of lumber tongue-and-groove board roof deck, under

2) Approximately 1” thick fiberboard panels (typically bonded to the roof deck with cap nails), under

3) Gravel layer bonded by asbestos-containing black tar, under

4) Approximately 3” thick foam boards, under

5) Top layer polymer-like layer that provides a singular, waterproof roof membrane, bonded to metal drip edge.

f. One plumbing vent penetration through the roof

g. Three of four buildings in the St Mary Campground (all but B#1133) are served by overhead electric lines with a roof penetration for the electrical connection.

h. At least one building (Two Medicine B#536) is NOT accessible by trailer. This building can only be accessed by narrow foot paths. Trailer access to other buildings may be difficult.

2.2. CLIN #2 Abate Two Medicine Triplex Flooring Material

2.2.1. B#1085 Two Medicine Triplex is a three-unit apartment building located off of the Two Medicine Campground Road, just past the Two Medicine Ranger Station. This building was constructed in 1966.

2.2.2. Each of the three apartments has a kitchen area, living space, bathroom, three closets, and a bedroom. As-built plans (dated 1966) are included in the attachments.

2.2.3. A laundry, storage, and mechanical room is located in the rear of the building.

2.2.4. 1/8” thick, 9” square, brown-colored vinyl-asbestos tiles are glued to a finished concrete surface. The glue tested negative for any hazardous materials. In 2002, this vinyl-asbestos tile was covered in vinyl or laminate flooring with a wood-grained appearance. This makes up the entire floor surface of the following units:

a. Apartment 1: approximately 475 square feet

b. Apartment 2: approximately 475 square feet

c. Apartment 3: approximately 486 square feet

d. Laundry, storage, and mechanical room: approximately 105 square feet

2.2.5. Furniture, cabinets, toilets, and other appliances will be removed by NPS prior to the start of abatement work.

2.3. CLIN #3 Abate Polebridge Cabin Wall and Floor Material

2.3.1. B#353 Polebridge Cabin is a one room building located in the Polebridge housing area in the Park. It was built in 1935 and has served several purposes, but is currently used as storage. Refer to the attached building plans.

2.3.2. Asbestos has been identified in the wall and ceiling joint material in the building. Refer to the hazmat history attachment.

2.3.3. Asbestos has been identified in the black mastic under the sheet linoleum that covers the entire floor surface. The building’s subfloor is constructed of lumber.

2.3.4. Its interior dimensions are approximately 12’ in width by 18’ in length by 8.33’ in height. It has four windows (approximately 2’ by 3’ each) and one door (approximately 3’ by 6.5’). A quantity estimate is provided below:

a. West (front door) wall: 118 sf

b. Side walls: 94 sf each x 2

c. East wall: 150 sf

d. Ceiling and floor: 216 sf
