Project Title

Rio Grande National Forest Bunkhouse Asbestos Sampling

General Information

1.0 Background and Purpose

The Rio Grande National Forest utilizes multiple barracks and bunkhouses for housing seasonal employees and in the performance of our mission. These buildings were often built using dangerous Asbestos-Containing Materials, and the Forest Service would like to identify any ACMs present in these buildings and the locations of these materials. Additionally, a mitigation strategy for each ACMs is needed. Mitigation is NOT included in this requirement; the Contractor is only required to find suspected ACMs, testing each sample, providing reports of the testing results, and provide a common recommended mitigation strategy for each instance of ACMs found and tested positive for. For example: removal, abatement, enclosure, regular monitoring, etc..

The goals of this requirement are as follows:

For each of the eight (8) buildings listed in this requirement:

· Identification and sampling of ACMs within each building

· Provide a diagram showing locations of each instance of ACMs for each building

· Provide a recommended mitigation strategy for each instance of ACMs found

· Provide a report(s) on ACMs tested in each building

The buildings to be tested have the following characteristics:

2.0 Definitions

ACMs – Asbestos-Containing Materials – Any materials containing more than 1% asbestos.
