B. When more than one class, size, or thickness is specified in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS for any pay item, suffixes will be added to the item number to differentiate between items to be bid.

4.02 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

A. The following methods of measurement are used to determine contract quantities for payment.

1. For individual construction items, longitudinal and lateral measurements for area computations will be made horizontally or corrected to horizontal measurement unless otherwise specified. Measurements for seeding, mulching, geotextiles, netting, erosion control blankets, and sodding will be along slope lines.

2. Structures will be measured according to neat lines SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS or as altered by the Engineer in writing to fit field conditions.

3. For items that are measured by the linear foot, measurements will be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed

4. For standard manufactured items, such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances will be accepted.

4.03 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

A. Payment will be by units defined and determined according to U.S. Standard measure as follows:

1. Acre – Make longitudinal and transverse measurements for area computations horizontally.

2. Cubic Yard - A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

a. Material in the Delivery Vehicle - The measurement computed using measurements of material in the hauling vehicles at the point of delivery.

Vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity. Leveling of the loads may be required when vehicles arrive at the delivery point.

3. Cubic Yard Mile - A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of a cubic yard of material 1 mile.

4. Each - One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.

5. Gallon – The quantity may be measured by any of the following methods:

a. Measured volume container.

b. Metered volume. Use an approved metering system.

9. Pound – If sacked or packaged material is furnished, the net weight as packed by the manufacturer may be used.

10. Square Foot - Measure on a plane parallel to the surface being measured or horizontal.

11. Square Yard – Measure on a plane parallel to the surface being measured or horizontal.

12. Ton - Short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

13. Ton Mile - A combination of linear and weight measurement meaning the movement of

1 ton of material 1 mile.

14. Lump Sum – One complete unit.

4.04 METHODS OF MEASUREMENT

A. One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is

DESIGNATED on the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS for each pay item:

1. Designed Quantities (DQ) - These quantities denote the final number of units to be paid for under the terms of the contract. They are based upon the original design data available prior to advertising the project. Original design data include the preliminary survey information, design assumptions, calculations, drawings, and the presentation in the contract. Changes in the number of units SHOWN in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS may be authorized under any of the following conditions:

a. As a result of changes in the work authorized by the Contracting Officer.

b. As a result of the Contracting Officer determining that errors exist in the original design data used to determine designed quantities that cause a pay item to change by 15 percent or more.

c. As a result of the Contractor submitting to the Contracting Officer a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design data used to determine design quantities that cause a pay item total to change by 15 percent or more.

The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is believed to be in error.

2. Staked Quantities (SQ) - These quantities are determined from staked measurements prior to construction.

3. Actual Quantities (AQ) - These quantities are determined from measurements of completed work.

4. Vehicle Quantities (VQ) - These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.

5. Lump Sum Quantities (LSQ) - These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract, including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job. They will not be measured.

6. All workers disturbing asbestos outside of a Negative- Pressure Enclosure System shall be monitored continuously.

7. In addition to the samples listed in paragraphs 1 through 6 above, when employing a negative pressure enclosure, take one (1) air sample every other day located at the entrance to the decontamination chamber and one (1) air sample located at the exhaust(s) of the HEPA filtration unit(s) (if more than one unit is used, the sampling may be rotated between units, however, each unit must be sampled at least once every other day). Decontamination chamber entrance and HEPA exhaust samples are not required if negative pressure enclosures are not used.

Include a statement that all asbestos in the work area has been removed, repaired, and/or encapsulated as required by the contract, and that all debris has been removed.

3.07 CLEARANCE AIR MONITORING

A. The Contractor will conduct final inspection and final third party air clearance monitoring. Final clearance air monitoring shall be conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 763 Subpart E. Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) or

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) final air clearance samples, dependent on quantity of ACM removed, shall be collected using aggressive sampling. Final clearance levels shall be in accordance with 40 CFR 763 (e.g., 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter for PCM clearance, or 70 structures per square millimeter for TEM). The Contractor will use twenty-four hour laboratory turn-around for all final clearance samples. PCM samples will be analyzed locally.

TEM samples will be shipped by next day delivery to the analytical laboratory.

B. Prior to admitting non-certified workers into areas regulated, the Contractor shall conduct a visual inspection to verify the completion of removal and clean-up and will conduct clearance air monitoring using phase contract microscopy (PCM). Airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers from the pre-clearance samples must be less than 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter using PCM. Upon receipt of satisfactory air clearance results the Contractor will notify

5/14/2020 PNW – Olympia Asbestos Abatement 20 OF 23 the Contracting Officer's Representative that the work area is ready for final inspection and final air clearance sampling.

C. Final clearance air monitoring tests will not be performed until all areas and materials within the work area are fully clean, encapsulated and dry.

D. If the final clearance air monitoring results show that the work area has failed to meet the clearance criteria, the

Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor. The Contractor shall re-clean the work area and collect and analyze an additional set of PCM clearance air monitoring samples whose asbestos concentration must be less than 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter prior to requesting the Contracting Officer collect another set of final clearance air monitoring samples. All work specified in this paragraph shall be done at no additional expense to the Government, including all labor and laboratory fees of the Government.

E. Once the final clearance air monitoring results meet the clearance criteria of 40 CFR 763 Subpart E for the work, then the HEPA filtration units may be deactivated (if applicable) and all seals, barriers, barricades, and decontamination areas shall be dismantled and removed except for visqueen to remain in place to separate “clean” areas from “unclean” areas. The work area will then be released to unprotected workers.

F. Work area containment's and/or critical barriers shall not be removed until final clearance results are reviewed and accepted by the Contracting Officer.

3.08 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

A. After the work area barriers have been removed, the Contractor shall conduct an additional inspection to verify that there was no asbestos debris, contaminated water, or other residue, concealed by the work area protection installations. Any such residue shall be cleaned up using HEPA vacuum cleaners and wet wiping methods.

B. After the Contractor certifies that the work area has been cleaned of all asbestos in compliance with the contract, the

Contractor shall conduct a final inspection to verify that there is no un-repaired damage to walls, ceilings, doors or surfaces or finishes other than that called for by the scope of work. Costs of restoration of damaged finishes shall be borne by the Contractor.
