SECTION 00 31 26 - EXISTING HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INFORMATION

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Document discloses Reference Documents that are available to the Contractors regarding the hazardous materials investigations and/or past hazardous materials remediation work that was utilized by the Government and its Consultant(s) in preparing the Contract Documents.

1.2 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REPORT(S)

A. The Contractor’s attention is directed to the fact that a hazardous materials survey report was prepared for the site and is known as:

1. “Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report for National Park Service, United States Department of Interior, Golden Gate National Recreational Area, San Francisco, California,” prepared by MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc., September 28, 2012, MACTEC Proj.

No. 6141-10-0320.

1.3 HAZARD SUMMARY

A. Asbestos Hazards: Certain existing building components or materials, which may be impacted by the Work of this Project, are known or presumed to contain asbestos.

1. The following materials were assumed to contain asbestos at concentrations greater than one percent (>1%):

a. Corrugated exterior cement roofing (Transite, non friable) throughout the Electric Shop building over older wood shingles, totaling about 1197 SF [Sample I.D.

GOGA.38356.004a].

B. Lead Hazards: Certain existing painted or coated surfaces to be impacted by the Work of this Project are known or suspected to contain lead.

1. The following materials were not all tested but, the Contractor, for the purposes of this Contract and for Cal/OSHA (8 CCR 1532.1) and Cal/EPA (Title 22 CCR) compliance shall assume and manage them as lead containing.

a. Roof flashings.

b. Caulking.

c. Mastic and adhesives.

2. Disturbance of painted surface, flashings, caulking, mastics and adhesives is not anticipated on either structure. The Government has not has not verified that any paints, coatings, dusts, or materials are “lead free,” therefore, all “ trigger 1” construction activities, such as demolition of painted surfaces, manual scraping or sanding of painted surfaces, or renovations impacting painted surfaces and primed structural steel shall be completed using dust controls and personal protective measures in compliance with the Cal/OSHA Construction Lead Standard, 8 CCR

1532.1. All settled dust within ductwork, ceiling plenums, crawl spaces, attics, chases and non-regular housekeeping areas shall be treated as having a lead content greater than 600 ppm requiring dust controls in compliance with 8 CCR 1532.1 during [demolition] [renovations].

C. Other Hazards:

1. Biological Hazards requiring compliance with Cal/OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen standards, include, but are not necessarily limited to:

a. Sea gull, pigeon or animal waste.

2. Mold requiring remediation and personal protection in compliance with the “Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments” (New York City Department of Health, April 2000), guidelines established in Bioaerosols Assessment and Control (J.

Macher, Editor, ACGIH, 1999) and “Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings” (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, March 2001) and as otherwise noted in the Contract Documents.

1.4 USE OF DATA

A. Environmental consultation was obtained only for the use of the Government and its Consultants for planning and design stages of this Project. The above mentioned report(s) are not, as a whole, part of the Contract Documents, but the survey data contained therein can be relied upon by the Contractor to characterize general site conditions, although quantities, friability and other factors may have changed or been altered since the published report date(s).

B. All statements, findings, and interpretations in the above mentioned report(s) are those of the Survey or Abatement Consultant(s). The Government makes no representations, either expressed or implied, as to the completeness or adequacy of the above-mentioned reports. Contractors are advised that the limited testing of components allow for generalizations in describing the extent of hazardous materials. Specific components or materials, should be checked against the referenced survey report(s) and the Contract Documents, or be tested at affected locations, prior to disturbance of such components or materials.

C. Contractors shall visit the work site and acquaint themselves with its existing conditions.

Difference in conditions, if any, shall be brought to the Government’s attention prior to bidding.

1.5 PRE-BID VISIT TO WORK SITE

A. Prior to bidding, Contractors may make their own investigations to satisfy themselves as to the Site and subsurface conditions, but such investigations shall be performed only under the provisions set by the Government during the Bid Walk Phase.

B. Purpose: The purpose of the Construction Schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during execution of the work by the Contractor. The Construction Schedule will assist the Contractor and Contracting Officer in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the Contractor's monthly progress payment.

10.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.

B. Cost Loading: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of an activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer.

C. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project.

D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the Contractor but is jointly owned.

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.

10.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Construction Baseline Schedule: After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference, submit two paper copies of baseline schedule, large enough to show entire schedule for entire construction period.

B. Construction Schedule Updates: On or before the 7th day preceding the progress payment request date, submit estimates of the percent completion of each schedule activity and necessary supporting data. Provide two paper copies.

1. Coordinate each submittal with fabrication, purchasing, testing, delivery, other submittals, and related activities that require sequential activity.

2. Coordinate transmittal of different types of submittals for related parts of the Work so processing will not be delayed because of need to review submittals concurrently for coordination.

a. Contracting Officer reserves the right to withhold action on a submittal requiring coordination with other submittals until related submittals are received.

C. Submittal List: A submittal list has been attached to the end of this Specification Section. The intent is to provide an overall summary of submittal requirements and not a comprehensive list.

D. Processing Time: Allow enough time for submittal review, including time for re-submittals, as follows. Time for review shall commence when an e-mail notification is received by the Contracting Officer (or designee) indicating the submittal has been posted on the NPS SharePoint website and is ready for review. When the Contracting Officer has completed their review, an e-mail notification will be sent to the Contractor indicating the submittal has been processed. No extension of the Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals enough in advance of the Work to permit processing, including re-submittals.
