1.0 Project Description / Summary:

This project aims to attain the abatement and mitigation of lead and asbestos within the Tuzigoot National Monument Visitor Center windows, situated at 25 West Tuzigoot Road, Clarkdale, AZ 86324.

2.0 Objectives:

The National Park Service is actively soliciting the expertise of a licensed and qualified lead abatement and asbestos abatement mitigation service provider to conduct the comprehensive removal and mitigation of lead and asbestos containing material and paint within the wood casing, muntin, stile, glass, frame, head, jamb, sash, lintel, apron, stool, rabit, and sill both interior and exterior of all windows situated at the Tuzigoot Visitor Center. Additionally, the licensed contractor is expected to diligently execute the outlined responsibilities detailed in section 4.0 to ensure the timely completion of this project.

3.0 Background:

The extant windows situated within the Tuzigoot Visitor Center possess historical significance, featuring lead and asbestos construction materials indicative of a bygone era. Prior to undertaking the meticulous process of historically preserving these windows, it is imperative to address the presence of lead and asbestos within the paint and construction materials. A total of up to 35 windows and 11 storm windows are identified as containing lead materials and asbestos materials, thereby necessitating the removal of such elements before embarking on the preservation efforts. The prevailing state of both the windows and their surrounding structures is suboptimal, underscoring the vital role of lead and asbestos abatement as the initial phase in rectifying the structural deficiencies and restoring these elements to a stable condition.

4.0 Specific Work / Tasks:

a. Project Overview: The lead abatement and removal focuses on the identification, containment, and safe elimination of lead-based materials present in the windows of the Tuzigoot National Monument Visitor Center. The goal is to create a secure and lead-free environment while preserving the structural integrity of the windows.

b. Site Assessment: Conduct a detailed site assessment of all windows to identify lead and asbestos-containing materials. This includes a thorough examination of window frames, sashes, and any associated components.

c. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure strict adherence to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing lead abatement.

Obtain necessary permits and approvals for the project and maintain compliance throughout the process. Prior to implementation, prepare pre-submittals including Negative Exposure Assessments (NEA’s), Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s), worker certifications, and insurance certificates.

d. Abatement Plan Development: Develop a comprehensive abatement plan outlining methodologies for the safe removal of lead-based materials from windows. Include containment strategies to prevent the dispersion of lead dust during the abatement process.

Accept delivery of the thirty-five window sashes and 11 storm windows at a safe and secure off-site treatment location identified by vendor. The window sashes are historic and fragile – care must be taken to in their storage. Ensure that all window sashes and lites are properly labelled for their location so as to be replaced in the same location they originated from.

e. Worker Safety Measures: Implement rigorous safety measures to protect workers involved in lead abatement activities. This includes the provision of appropriate OSHA Lead and asbestos certified personal protective equipment (PPE), thorough training, and continuous monitoring for exposure risks.

f. Containment and Ventilation: Establish effective containment measures to isolate work areas and prevent lead dust from spreading.

Implement proper ventilation systems to maintain air quality during the removal process. Secure the exterior of the building with temporary fencing to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the work site. Prepare and regulate the work area including covering floors and furniture with 6 mil polyethylene sheeting and drop cloths; sealing off the work area from the rest of the building to prevent dust and debris from spreading; use proper abatement signs/signage to make Park personnel aware of ongoing work.

g. Lead and Asbestos Material Removal: Utilize approved techniques for the systematic removal of lead and asbestos based materials from windows sills, headers, casings and all associated components including the glazing on each window sash. Employ methods for complete removal, ensuring minimal disruption and contamination. Dispose of lead and asbestos waste in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Remove the lead and asbestos based paint from the thirty-five (35) window sashes and 11 storm windows via chemical stripping/dipping, taking care to minimize damage to existing lites – relabel and save any lites that come loose from the sashes. The lead and asbestos abatement of the window sashes will be done at an offsite facility. Transportation of the widow sashes will be required by the abatement team. The window sashes will be appropriately packaged for transportation to the offsite facility by the National Park Service Historic Preservation Team. Once the abatement of the window sashes is complete transportation and delivery of the abated windows to the Historic Preservation Maintenance Action Team Carpentry shop in Flagstaff Arizona will be required. The windows will be delivered to H.P.T.C. / I.M.R.

post abatement. Approximate quantities via chemical stripping and hand tools: the paint on twenty-five window opening frames, casings, lintels, sills both exterior and interior will be removed.

h. Abatement of fixed and unfixed window parts: The removable portion of the windows will be abated off site. The window sills headers and casings will be abated in place on site.

i. Window Restoration Assessment: Conduct an assessment of the windows post-abatement to determine any restoration or repair needs. Identify and document areas requiring attention to restore windows to their original condition. Any exterior lintels that cannot be abated due to deterioration will be removed and disposed of in accordance with all L.C.M. and asbestos disposal regulations.

j. Post-Abatement Clearance Testing: Conduct thorough clearance testing to verify that lead levels meet or exceed regulatory standards after material removal. This step is crucial to certify the effectiveness of the abatement efforts and ensure a safe environment to reestablish occupancy of the building.

k. Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed records of all activities, including pre-abatement assessments, abatement plans, removal procedures, and clearance testing results. Provide comprehensive reports documenting the entire lead abatement and removal process.

l. Communication and Stakeholder Engagement: Keep stakeholders, including property owners and occupants, informed about project progress, milestones, and any necessary safety precautions. Maintain open communication with regulatory authorities to address concerns promptly.

m. Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement: Implement a quality assurance program to evaluate the effectiveness of lead abatement and removal.

n. Proper disposal of all waste.
