Addendum 1 – City of Cortland Roundhouse Mill Demolition Project

This is an addendum to a demolition project request for proposals issued by the City of Cortland, New York, in conjunction with the New York State Department of Labor. The addendum documents a variance petition (SH-67M3E) for controlled demolition with non-friable asbestos-containing material (ACM) in place at the former feed mill located at 41 Elm Street, Cortland, New York 13045. The City of Cortland is seeking demolition, site clearance, site restoration, removal and disposal of all debris including ACM, backfill, grading, and final site restoration. The project encompasses approximately 9,200 square feet of a three-story building structure on the south side of Elm Street, with a demolition date of July 1, 2026. All work must comply with the approved variance conditions and applicable New York State and federal asbestos regulations. Contractors must be licensed by New York State for asbestos handling and demonstrate the necessary experience, skill, and competence to perform the work in an efficient, cost-effective, and professional manner. The City of Cortland intends to award a single contract to the lowest responsible bidder.

The variance, granted by the New York State Department of Labor Commissioner on December 5, 2025, imposes specific conditions including the requirement for a full-time independent project monitor on-site during all abatement activities to ensure compliance with Industrial Code Rule 56 requirements and prevent visible emissions. All friable ACM, transite/cement board, and Category II non-friable ACM must be removed prior to controlled demolition, with regulated work areas cordoned off at 25 feet where possible. Daily air monitoring is required at the project perimeter with minimum samples collected upwind and downwind of the work area. Non-porous items such as structural steel may be salvaged if fully decontaminated, while debris not rendered friable shall be disposed of as construction waste at authorized landfills. The variance remains valid through December 31, 2026. All bids must be inclusive of permits, disposal costs and transportation fees, equipment, materials, and all labor necessary to complete the project. A pre-demolition asbestos inspection report conducted on August 27, 2024, by A2Z Environmental LLC identified that all 17 bulk samples collected tested negative for asbestos (0% asbestos by weight), with additional non-friable roofing materials identified in an addendum dated December 1, 2025.

1.0EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A2Z Environmental llc. was retained by Brian Malchak Rental llcto perform a limited pre-demolition building survey for asbestos containing materials (ACM). This is report is not to be used for design purposes. Measurements are for a guide and should be verified by abatement contractor. There may be areas that were inaccessible for the inspector to sample.
The survey was performed by Jamie Foster (23-61QZU-SHAB), New York State certified building inspector for A2Z Environmental llc. and included the following:

Review of available building records for reference to ACM;

Visual inspection of the area to identify suspect ACM;

Collection of representative samples of suspect ACM;

Analysis of all samples by an independent, accredited laboratory;

Preparation of a written report.

Fieldwork for the survey was performed on 08-27-2024. Samples were delivered to Eurofin.
for polarized light microscopy (PLM) or (TEM) analysis on 08-29-2024.The survey
included the collection and analysis oflayers.
2.0INTRODUCTION
The survey was performed at the request ofin preparation for possible

Brian Malchak demolition or renovation of the old feed mill located at 41 Elm Street, Cortland The objective of the survey was to identify ACM within the space or the entire building so that appropriate considerations can be made prior to demolition of the building or renovation of the said space.

New York State Department of Labor Industrial Code Rule 56 (12NYCRR, Part 56) requires that prior to advertising for bids or contracting for or commencing work on any demolition work on a building, that the owner or agent of such building shall cause a survey for ACM to be conducted, and that identified ACM be removed by a licensed contractor prior to initiation of demolition activities. This survey was performed in accordance with these requirements.

3.0 BACKGROUND

There are many factors that must be considered when determining the extent of potential health risks associated with the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in buildings. The major concern is with the possibility of fiber release from the ACM and the subsequent inhalation of these fibers by building occupants.

ASBESTOS TESTING ASBESTOS PROJECT MONITORING ASBESTOS AIR MONITORING ASBESTOS PROJECT DESIGNING

12/05/2025 Page 5 of 36 SH-67M3E

Asbestos License #73261 P.O. Box 188 Pulaski, New York 13142 (315)527-8888 Asbestos is a known carcinogen found in many types of building materials, but its presence alone may not constitute a health hazard. Rather, a health hazard occurs when the asbestos fibers are in some way disturbed and become airborne. Asbestos fibers are most likely to be released into the air when the materials in which they are contained become loose, friable, or otherwise show signs of damage or deterioration by various causal agents.

Inhalation of these microscopic asbestos fibers has been medically proven to cause chronic disease such as asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer. The severity of these diseases, along with the discovery of great amounts of asbestos in public and private buildings, has led government agencies to promulgate regulations aimed at reducing asbestos exposure. Maximum allowable exposure levels have been set for building occupants, and methods of compliance for removal and disposal of ACM have been instituted. Therefore, it is necessary to locate and identify all ACM within a building. Comprehensive data to this effect will allow for the implementation of a systematic asbestos abatement program.

4.0 METHODOLOGY

The bulk sampling procedure utilized by A2Z Environmental LLC. is designed to collect samples of materials suspected to contain asbestos. Each individual type of materials as delineated by color, texture, pattern and location will be referred to as a homogeneous sampling area. Each homogeneous area will be sampled and assessed independently of each other.

The procedure for collecting a bulk sample entails complete penetration and removal of all layers of the suspect material, while at the same time, minimizing damage and potential fiber release. The sampling procedure begins with complete wetting of the sampling area. A core section is then cut from the material and placed in a sealed, airtight sample container. The exposed area is then sealed with spray adhesive and patched with duct tape when in an occupied space. The area where the core sample was removed is then labeled with a sample number to facilitate future reference. The sampling tool is then wet wiped and decontaminated with a disposable towel.

Each labeled sample is then transported along with a chain of custody form to a certified laboratory for analysis. Laboratory analysis of friable samples (materials which are able to be crushed or reduced to powder by hand pressure) is performed using Polarized Light Microscopy with Dispersion Staining in accordance with the EPA Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples (EPA - 600/M4-82-020).

12/05/2025 Page 6 of 36 SH-67M3E A2Z Environmental LLC Asbestos License #73261 P.O. Box 188 Pulaski, New York 13142 (315)527-8888 Non-friable organically bound samples (NOBs) such as floor tile and roofing undergo gravimetric reduction and are then analyzed using (PLM) polarized light microscopy. Samples that test positive for asbestos are reported as such. Samples which test negative for asbestos (less than 1 % asbestos by weight) must be further analyzed by (TEM) transmission electron microscopy.

The testing laboratory is approved under the NYS Department of Health - Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) as well as the National Institute of Standards and Technology - National Voluntary Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP).

5.0SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Therebuilding records available at the time of the survey, therefore building

were no records have have not, been reviewed as part of this effort.

See Table 5.1 (starting on page 5) for a complete list of samples collected. If any additional suspect materials are discovered prior to or during demolition activities, then the material must be assumed to be asbestos-containing or must undergo Laboratory analysis in accordance with 29 CFR 191 0.1 1 01 to prove it non-asbestos.

The laboratory visually inspected for the presence of suspect ACM on 0 9

0 6

** SEE APPENDIX B FOR LOCATIONS OF ACM **

It must be noted that the quantities of ACM provided on table 5.1 are estimates of the actual materials present that were available for inspection and assessment. These figures themselves should not be used as the sole basis for asbestos abatement contractors' bids or cost estimates. They are meant merely as estimates to gauge the scope of the project.

The purpose of the inspection was to determine the extent of asbestos-containing materials associated with the above referenced property only. New York State Department of Labor Regulations, 12 NYCRR Part 56, requires removal of all asbestos-containing materials from a building or structure prior to demolition or renovation activities.

Details concerning ACM location and quantity, sample locations, laboratory analysis, and consultant credentials are included in this report.

6.0 Responsibility of owner or owner agent

The owner or owners agent is required to send a copy of this report to the Department of Labor prior to any Asbestos Abatement. The address that the report needs to be sent to depends on the county that the property is located. The addresses for the different Department of Labor District offices are listed on page 4 of this report.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Inconclusive - No Asbestos Detected PLM is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and other NOB materials. Currently, quantitative TEM must be used to determine if this material can be considered or treated as non-asbestos containing.

Inconclusive - CR Conflicting Results: Sample yielded 1% or less asbestos as determined by gravimetric reduction and TEM analysis but had protruding fibers identified as asbestos during preliminary examination - further sampling and analysis needed.

Inconclusive - Trace (type of asbestos) detected at 1% or less Asbestos identified at 1% or less by the 198.6 method, and 0 asbestos points out of 400 (or more) nonempty points were counted. Further testing by TEM using NYS 198.4 method is required.

Trace asbestos detected at less than 1% For methods 198.1 and 198.8, NYSDOH defines trace as samples where 0 asbestos points out of 400 (or more) nonempty points were counted, but did contain asbestos positively identified by PLM.

Trace asbestos detected at less than 1% For method 198.4 NYSDOH defines trace as asbestos detected at 1% or less.

REGULATORY LIMIT: > 1% by weight
