These materials are often hidden and cannot be discovered until after demolition has begun. The failure of the Government to identify all ACM and LBP in no way relieves the contractor from his legal obligation to comply with state and federal regulations regarding the handling of asbestos, lead, or LBP. If suspected asbestos containing materials or LBP surfaces are encountered, immediately cease work and notify the CO and the CE PM immediately. Do not conduct or continue with any work that will violate any AF, local, state or federal regulations regarding asbestos, lead, or LBP.

Take all necessary steps to ensure that materials are not further disturbed, moved, or disposed of until directed to do so by the CO. Failure to notify the Government promptly or failure to comply with state and federal regulations will be grounds for termination of the contract and may result in other appropriate civil and/or criminal actions. "The contractor will be fully responsible for any and all fines or other penalties resulting from acts and/or omissions pursuant to law and regulation. At the preconstruction meeting, the contractor will be required to sign the "Contractor's Safety and Hazardous Materials Requirements".
