GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

DATE: April 2023

PART 1 – SUMMARY OF WORK (SECTION 01 11 00)

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. General: All work outlined below will be performed under a single contract.

B. Project Location: This project is located at Quarters 16 and 17 within Lassen Volcanic National

Park Headquarters, Tehama County, CA. The buildings are located 35 miles east of Red Bluff, CA.

Directions to Qtrs. 16 and 17 (LAVO) from Red Bluff, CA.: To access the project site, take Highway 36 east from Red Bluff to park headquarters, 1 mile West of Mineral, California. A map is attached and can also be found in the park’s public website: http://www.nps.gov/lavo/index.htm . Mineral, California has food and lodging, but no fuel or repair services.

C. Project Background: Quarters 16 and 17 currently have existing resilient vinyl floor coverings.

Rehabilitation of the buildings by NPS has been halted due to asbestos being found in the existing resilient sheet flooring in both buildings.

Project Scope of Work: The Work consists of the following:

The National Park Service requires the removal and disposal of approximately 1200 sq. ft. of Asbestos

Containing Material (ACM) vinyl resilient flooring recently discovered in the existing flooring in

Quarters 16 and 17. Quarters 16 has 620 SF of flooring area and Quarters 17 has 572 SF of flooring area.

All areas with ACM need to be removed. Anything on top of or in the work area will be moved by the

NPS to allow access to all areas for removal of any ACM flooring by the contractor. The resilient flooring tested 25% chrysolite but the mastic test results were none detected. Results attached as

Attachment 2.

Specifications for ACM Flooring Removal and Abatement:

• DEQ Permits, equipment mobilization and materials.

• Abatement as per California Code of Regulation (CCR) Title 8, Section 1529.

• One (1) Air Clearance via PCM.

• Disposal of asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) at an approved landfill.
