Clarification to Fire Station Demolition GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS, SECTION C.1, SCOPE OF CONTRACT:

With regards to Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) present at the project site, through an agreement with the Army, all friable ACM has been previously removed from this building. Only non-friable ACM such as siding or floor tile are anticipated to be present. Furthermore, due to the unsafe condition of the building as it stands now, attempting to separate the siding and floor tile from the rest of the building materials would require workers to perform in unsafe working conditions. For these reasons, contractors are to estimate this project utilizing a method that would mix the non-friable asbestos in with the rest of the demolition debris and haul to the landfill accordingly. Contractors shall still bear the responsibility of coordinating acceptance of the mixed material with Prairie View landfill and controlling the release of asbestos fibers during demolition and transport as required by the State of Illinois.
