PROJECT SUMMARY

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, warranties, tools, equipment, supervision and all other items as necessary to complete the work as described. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is broken down as follows: section 1, work to be completed in contract, and section 2, general requirements. The contractor is responsible for producing all measurements before ordering material for project, if necessary. The contractor shall perform to the standards in the contract. The contractor shall conduct all work in a professional manner, in accordance with regulations, acceptable work practices, and techniques.

1. SCOPE OF WORK:

1.1.1 Sample:

Sampling Area: Asbestos/Lead Paint Sampling for the following rooms: 101,102,103,107,137, 168, UCC / HSOC.

Provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items as necessary to determine whether or not asbestos or lead based paint exists in the carpet, floor or other areas impacted by the removal and installation of new carpet. Any paint discovered when removing the carpet for sampling will be tested for lead.

Sampling: Asbestos and Lead sampling will be completed by EPA & State of Alaska trained and certified personnel according to State of Alaska, US Environmental Protection Agency and US Department of Labor standards.

Protect furniture, walls, and any other materials during project to prevent damage. The contractor will move any furniture and appliances (Not to include office automation/phones/electronics/computers) from the testing location prior to work starting, and will replace all items in the room after the testing is complete.

Return all rooms to pre-sampling conditions as possible. Patch and repaint walls damaged during flooring removal.

Provide clearance samples, ACM disposal manifest, and close out report to 773 CES Asbestos Shop. Area will be cleaned according to regulations so occupants can safely occupy area after abatement.

1.1.2 Abate:

Abatement area: asbestos/lead abatement and carpet removal for Room 122, Building 1, JBER, AK. This room was previously determined to contain Asbestos in the mastic. Abatement area also includes the following rooms if it is determined that Asbestos or Lead is present:

101,102,103,107,137, 168, UCC / HSOC.

Remove approximately 2,250 square feet of flooring materials and mastic that may consist of, or be a combination of layers of carpet, vinyl tile, floor adhesive, or other material that may contain

U.S. Air Force | Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson 3 asbestos or lead based paint.

Floor will be abated to bare concrete, and have a coating of encapsulate when abatement is complete. Abatement is complete when all asbestos/lead is removed and concrete or substrate is able to accept new adhesive within 7 days. Contractor will not be responsible for moving furniture, shelving, automation or any other items necessary to perform the abatement for the room.

Protect walls, equipment remaining in the room and any other materials present during the project to prevent damage.

Contractor will supply their own equipment for abatement, no government equipment or assets will be used for the abatement project.

Building may be occupied, coordination with building occupants will be necessary to minimize impact on US Government mission.

Provide clearance samples, ACM disposal manifest, and close out report to 773 CES Asbestos Shop. Area will be cleaned according to regulations so occupants can safely occupy area after abatement.

This includes inadvertent spills (spill definitions: Asbestos, damaged material that would cause Asbestos to become airborne, Lead-Based Paint, chipping or flaking that would cause Lead- Based Paint to become airborne) of dirt, dust or debris in which it is reasonable to conclude that lead-based paint or asbestos may exist. When these spills occur, the US Environmental Protection Agency shall be notified, work shall stop in all affected areas immediately and the spill shall be cleaned to conform to all, Federal, State and Local codes and regulations. When satisfactory visual inspection and sampling analysis results are obtained and have been evaluated by the Contractors Industrial Hygienist and the Government appointed official, work may proceed.
