PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Asbestos Abatement of Lab Spaces

1 Introduction:

The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire has a requirement for a Contractor to provide asbestos abatement services. The Contractor shall remove and dispose of asbestos materials in accordance with state and federal regulations. The asbestos-containing materials consist of approximately 3,884 square feet of floor tile and attached mastic, as well as 881 linear feet x 4"- 6" of sheetrock.

1.1 Scope

Approximate total area to be treated is 3,884 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 881 linear feet of cove molding and mastic. The Contractor shall perform asbestos abatement as follows:

300 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 78 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 32A. This room has carpet over the top of the tiles. The Contractor is responsible for removal and disposal of carpet.

176 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 63 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 32B. This room has carpet over the top of the tiles. The Contractor is responsible for removal and disposal of carpet.

235 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 61 feet of cove molding and mastic in room

34. This room has carpet over the top of the tiles. The Contractor is responsible for removal and disposal of carpet.

1103 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 127 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 154.

44 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 21 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 154A.

503 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 92 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 154B.

192 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 133 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 154C.

297 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 72 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 154D.

27 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 21 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 154H.

91 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 42 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 156.

322 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 72 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 158.

594 square feet of floor tile and mastic and 99 feet of cove molding and mastic in room 174.

Within the confines of the above rooms, there is 83 linear feet of the remains of a wall (sheetrock on studs) 4" to 6" high. This wall was anchored in place by fasteners through the asbestos tile. Accordingly, the Contractor shall remove and properly dispose of the wall remnants and the asbestos tile and mastic.

Rooms 32A and 32B must be completed separately and sequentially. There is sensitive equipment in each that must be moved to the other when each room is abated. The Government will move the equipment to room 32A immediately following room 32B abatement.

Then 32A can be abated.

The Contractor shall ensure that no asbestos fibers remain or otherwise enter other parts of the facility. The Contractor and is responsible for all licensing, state notifications, and administrative submissions required by the state of New Hampshire to accomplish this task. The Contractor shall remove the asbestos-containing materials from the campus and dispose of in accordance with all state and federal regulations.

The defined spaces are not contiguous. The Contractor shall sequentially partition off each space, remove the asbestos materials, and clean up. It is acceptable to have multiple crews on site to complete the abatement. It is not acceptable to partition spaces off with no removal of materials occurring for more than one business day. Exceptions to this are permitted but must be coordinated with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) before work commences.

CRREL is a working laboratory and partitioning off spaces creates delays in ongoing work that must be minimized.

All activities must be coordinated with the COR.

The Contractor shall designate a primary POC for work being performed during the execution of the contract. The Contractor primary POC shall keep the COR informed of the work progress and be available to the COR in the event of a change in the schedule or if any problems arise.

The Contractor shall inform the COR in advance of any hazardous material introduced onto the campus by the Contractor (if applicable); at a minimum, the quantities brought onto the campus and the intended amount to be used will be provided to the COR (email is sufficient). For any hazardous material the Contractor brings onto the CRREL campus, the Contractor must produce Safety Data Sheets upon request by the COR. Any spills caused by the Contractor must be cleaned up by the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for all disposal of Contractor-provided hazardous material.

The Contractor shall notify the TPOC of any potentially hazardous situations which may occur during performance of this contract. (Possible example: the noise emitted from the equipment precludes unprotected personnel from being closer than 50 feet.)

The Contractor shall notify the TPOC if any part of the laboratory must be isolated from all Government personnel during performance of this contract. (Possible example: the Contractor must build a negative pressure enclosure to prevent the building's air handling system from sucking in asbestos fibers - this enclosure may preclude Government personnel from conducting their normal activities.)
