Iron River Nation Fish Hatchery

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) Iron River NFH located in Bayfield County, WI is requesting a Request For Quote (RFQ) to perform all work necessary for and incidental to the inspection of structures prior to building renovations, demolition and/or deconstruction to determine the presence of asbestos until 3:30 pm central time on August 31, 2022. Any Request for Proposals received after that time will be rejected for consideration. The Request for Quote will be awarded to the bidder who is qualified and has the lowest price.

This Scope of Work is requested to provide sufficient sampling, testing and an assessment for Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) prior to the demolition of building(s) and/or to perform repairs or maintenance to building(s) that are occupied.

Iron River NFH – Quarters 25 Barn Building

The Quarters 25 Barn Building (RPI Asset Code – 35800500, RPI# 10011040) was built around 1956, The building is a wood constructed building with cedar shingle roofing. The building is approximately 1576

sq. ft. The assessment survey will consist of a comprehensive sampling of the entire structure for asbestos.

The following materials were observed during walkaround of site: windows (possible caulk), electrical wire coating, tar paper, and chipboard installation. Photo documentation of current status of building and site location is provided in Attachment 1.

2. GUIDELINES

The inspector's primary contact will be Carey Edwards, Hatchery Manager located at Iron River NFH.

The inspector shall take sufficient samples of all suspected ACM building materials and commercial products in accordance with guidance provided in this document or stricter state regulations and have them analyzed by a lab with accreditation for Asbestos and is a Wisconsin state certified laboratory.

Suspect asbestos samples shall be collected following professional protocols with appropriate sampling tools and leak-tight containers.

Each suspect sample shall be individually numbered, recorded on a sample log, description of material, quantified, and submitted under chain-of-custody to a laboratory certified under the Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program.

Any sampling debris (i.e. protective clothing, contaminated wipes, respiratory cartridges, etc.) will be the responsibility of the contractor. As such the contractor assumes all liability for the correct disposal of suspect ACM and RACM waste.

A) ASBESTOS

The building assessment surveys will identify friable and non-friable asbestos-containing-materials (ACM) and asbestos containing commercial products. The survey shall consist of the identification, measuring, quantifying, testing and estimating the cost of removal of Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material ( RACM), Category I and Category II non-friable asbestos containing building materials, and commercial products that contain asbestos material. This survey shall be performed by a Wisconsin Licensed Asbestos Building Inspector.

1) INSPECTION PROCEDURE

I. Proper bulk sampling methods for suspect ACM will be followed. Proper bulk sampling methods are defined as wetting with amended water, encapsulation after sample collection, and clean-up of debris associated with sample collection.

II. Obtain randomly distributed samples from each homogeneous area as listed in Table I. A material may be assumed to be ACM without sampling or based on the analytical results of fewer samples.

III. Locate and quantify all homogeneous areas of surfacing materials, thermal system insulation, miscellaneous materials, and asbestos commercial products in areas to be demolished or renovated. Note any possible asbestos debris that is present due to deterioration or damage in the above areas. Unless assumed to be ACM, all types of floor tiles in all layers must be inspected and sampled. Whenever necessary, destructive sampling must be done to access ducts and/or pipes in walls or chases and in areas above suspended ceilings to determine if ACM is present for buildings scheduled for demotion. In buildings that are not scheduled for demolition, the report shall identify areas where destructive testing was not conducted.

IV. Analysis of suspect ACM bulk samples through Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) shall be performed by persons or laboratories with proficiency demonstrated by current successful participation in a nationally recognized testing program such as the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) or the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) or the Round Robin for bulk samples administered by the American

Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) or an equivalent nationally recognized round robin testing program.

V. The laboratory should delineate sample layers (i.e. VAT and mastic; drywall, mud, and tape;

cloth wrap and mag; etc.).

VI. Tabulate results by property address. Show the location and square or linear footage of each homogeneous area. Quantify all assumed materials such as floor tile and resilient roofing and siding as ACM (note multiple layers). If ducts and pipes inside walls could not be visually inspected, they must be assumed ACM. The inspector's name, address, phone number, certification number and date of inspection must appear on each report.

VII. Provide and estimate for remediation of asbestos containing material.

2) ACM sample material shall be analyzed and retained by the laboratory for 30 days in case the Service requests follow on point count analysis.

TABLE I - Minimum Sampling Requirements for Asbestos Containing Materials (The materials listed in this table are provided as common examples and are not a complete list of building components or equipment that require testing.)

Quantities of samples to be obtained per homogeneous area are:

(NOTE: Discretion shall be exercised when defining homogeneous areas, giving consideration to all factors which could reduce the number of samples required.)

Material Type Number of Samples Size of Homogenous Area

Surfacing materials 3 <= 1,000 square feet 5 > 1,000 square feet and <=5,000 square feet 7 > 5,000 square feet

Thermal System Insulation

3 each homogeneous area

1 Each homogenous area of patch less than 6 linear or 6 square feet

3 Each homogeneous group valves, fittings, elbow tees, hangers

0*

Inspector has determined that the thermal system insulation is fiberglass, foam glass, rubber, or other non-ACBM. * Need to note on inspection that location of material was seen.

Miscellaneous Material*

- Each layer of floor tile,

- Resilient sheet goods,

- Paper backing of sheet flooring,

- Mastic,

- Resilient roofing,

- Siding materials

- Each homogeneous areas of ceiling tiles,

- Slate flooring and roofing.

- Slate or transite siding,

- Drywall/drywall joint compound systems,

- Ect.

3 The minimum of three samples

Additional sample may be obtained at the discretion of the inspector based upon the square footage of the homogenous area:

3 <= 1,000 square feet

5 > 1,000 square feet and <=5,000 square feet

7 > 5,000 square feet

Other – Asbestos Containing Products:

- Asbestos Gloves

- Fireproof Safes

- Asbestos Gasket

- Etc.

1* Material that are labeled asbestos containing do not need to be sampled but shall be inventoried.

Note: When debris is identified that corresponds with identifiable suspect ACM or ACBM, utilize the correct Homogeneous Area Numbers corresponding with the suspect material.
