About this file

This document contains an asbestos analysis report and related federal contract opportunity for roof replacement. The asbestos analysis report details testing conducted on samples from the break room and maintenance room of Building 53, Section A at the National Center for Toxicological Research facility in Jefferson, Arkansas. Two of the five samples from the break room contained chrysotile asbestos at 10% and amosite asbestos at 3-4%. The remaining samples and both samples from the maintenance room did not contain detectable asbestos.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration Office of Acquisition and Grant Services to replace roofs on Buildings 15 and 53 A, B, C, D and the mechanical room at the National Center for Toxicological Research facility in Jefferson, Arkansas. The solicitation seeks roof repair and replacement services at this location but provides no further details on response dates, award amounts, or other contractual terms.

Environmental Enterprise Group (EEG), Inc. has completed the analysis of the sample submitted to our laboratory on August 05, 2020, from the above-referenced project.

The method of analysis utilized follows the U.S. EPA 600/R-93/116 Interim Method for the Determination of

Asbestos Bulk Insulation Samples. Quantification is based upon visual estimation of the amounts of material present utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy. It may be found that additional techniques are needed to attain a positive identification of asbestos and a reliable accuracy for the quantity of asbestos in a sample; therefore, EEG appended their Polarized Light Microscopy analysis with the following footnote.

Analysis of floor tile and other resinously bound materials by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) may yield false negative results because of method limitations in separating closely bound fibers in detecting fibers of small length and diameter. When analysis of such materials by the PLM Method yields negative results for the presence of asbestos, Environmental Enterprise Group (EEG), Inc. recommends utilizing alternative methods of identification including Transmission Electron Microscopy.

These samples can be resubmitted at your discretion. Samples will be disposed of within 30 days unless otherwise notified in writing by the client.

If you have any questions regarding your report, please contact me at (800) 530-7968 or (479) 968-6767.
