SECTION 00 0220.3 - OFFERERS DISCLOSURE

Offerer Disclosure of Prior

Non-Responsibility Determinations

Background:

New York State Finance Law §139-k(2) obligates a Governmental Entity to obtain specific information regarding prior non-responsibility determinations with respect to

State Finance Law §139-j. This information must be collected in addition to the information that is separately obtained pursuant to State Finance Law §163(9). In accordance with State Finance Law §139-k, an Offerer must be asked to disclose whether there has been a finding of non-responsibility made within the previous four (4) years by any Governmental Entity due to: (a) a violation of State Finance Law §139-j or (b) the intentional provision of false or incomplete information to a Governmental Entity. The terms “Offerer” and “Governmental Entity” are defined in State Finance Law § 139-k(1).

State Finance Law §139-j sets forth detailed requirements about the restrictions on

Contacts during the procurement process. A violation of State Finance Law

§139-j includes, but is not limited to, an impermissible Contact during the restricted period (for example, contacting a person or entity other than the designated contact person, when such contact does not fall within one of the exemptions).

As part of its responsibility determination, State Finance Law §139-k(3) mandates consideration of whether an Offerer fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information regarding the above non-responsibility determination. In accordance with law, no Procurement Contract shall be awarded to any Offerer that fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information under this section, unless a finding is made that the award of the Procurement Contract to the Offerer is necessary to protect public property or public health safety, and that the Offerer is the only source capable of supplying the required Article of Procurement within the necessary timeframe. See State Finance Law

§§139-j (10)(b) and 139-k(3).

Instructions:

A Governmental Entity must include a disclosure request regarding prior non-responsibility determinations in accordance with State Finance Law §139-k in its solicitation of proposals or bid documents or specifications or contract documents, as applicable, for procurement contracts. The attached form is to be completed and submitted by the individual or entity seeking to enter into a Procurement Contract.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

The purpose of the sampling was to determine the presence, location and quantity of ACM (asbestos containing materials), at the above referenced location. As defined by the property owners’ specific scope of work for the project. The site has had numerous asbestos testing on the site previously. ACS has incorporated the previous sample results in a chart for reference. ACM is throughout the facility in both accessible and inaccessible areas.

In total 47. non-friable samples for this Phase of the asbestos project were from accessible areas within the scope of work were analyzed. Numerous building material sampled contained asbestos containing materials. Most all materials are in poor condition and have caused numerous areas of the building to be contaminated. The Chain of

Custody identifies the specific unit that was sampled for asbestos. Analysis was completed by ACS Labs NYS

ELAP#121161

1.0 GENERAL CONDITIONS OF INSPECTION

Please refer to the general notes section of this report for additional comments on materials at this location. Not all identified materials may be listed in each building summary but will instead be listed in the general notes for the entire site.

Any reported quantities found in this report, if applicable, are field approximations of materials in readily accessible areas only and should be field verified prior to abatement. This report is not designed to serve as a specification for abatement. Please, find enclosed the laboratory analytical results and chain of custody documentation, if applicable. Drawings, if provided, are for reference purposes only and are not to scale.

Any suspect materials found within the scope of work and not specifically accounted for with applicable sampling in this report should be presumed to contain asbestos and treated accordingly until sampled and proven otherwise, including but not limited to; below grade materials, sub- flooring under installed existing flooring and materials and insulation within walls, above fixed and suspended ceiling systems, interiors of fire doors, if applicable.

Any included laboratory results, if applicable, are submitted pursuant to ACS current terms and conditions of sale, including the company’s standard warrant and limitation of liability provisions. No responsibility or liability is assumed for the manner in which the results are used or interpreted.

This report is based on the condition and contents present at the above referenced location at the time of sampling.

Any listed asbestos containing or presumed asbestos containing materials should only be handled and/or disturbed by licensed individuals, adhering to both state and federal regulations for abatement.

2.0 RECOMMENDED FIELD SAMPLING PROCEDURES AND SAMPLE METHODS

Guidelines used for the visual inspection were established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the

“Guidance for Controlling Asbestos Containing Materials in Buildings, Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances, Doc 560/5-85-024”.

Field information was organized in accordance with the AHERA methodology of homogenous area (HAN). During the visual inspection, reasonable effort was made to identify all locations and types of ACM associated with the scope of work. Sampling, when applicable, should included multiple samples of the same materials chosen at random. However, due to inconsistencies of a manufacturer's processes and the contractor’s installation methods, materials of similar construction may contain various amounts of asbestos. Furthermore, some materials that were not originally specified to contain asbestos may in fact contain this mineral. For example, cementitious pipe insulation and plaster were frequently mixed with asbestos at the construction site for ease of application.

Locating all asbestos materials can only be definitively achieved by conducting exploratory demolition and sampling every section of pipe insulation, fitting or valve covering, fireproofing, and other suspect ACM.

Bulk samples of suspect ACM may be analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining, as described in 40 CFR Part 763 and the National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAPS). NESHAPS is the standard industry protocol for the determination of asbestos in building materials. A suspect material is immersed in a solution of known refractive index and subjected to illumination by polarized light.

The color displays that result are compared to a standardized atlas whereby the specific variety of asbestos is determined. It should also be recognized that PLM is primarily a qualitative identification method whereby asbestos percentage, if any, is estimated. EPA and New York State regulations governing ACM consider materials containing greater than 1-percent as asbestos containing materials.

For jobs performed in New York State, The New York State Department of Health has revised the PLM Stratified

Point Counting Method. The method, "Polarized Light Microscopy Methods for Identifying and Quantifying

Asbestos in Bulk Samples" can be found as item 198.1 in the Environmental Laboratory Approval program (ELAP)

Certification manual. The method specifies a procedure of analysis for bulk samples that fall into the category of

"Non-friable Organically Bound" (NOB). This category includes any sample in a flexible to rigid asphalt or vinyl matrix (floor tiles, mastic, roofing shingles, roofing felt, etc.). Additional materials that may fall into this category are textured paints and stucco, pipe valve and joint packing, and a variety of other applications. These samples must be “ashed” in a muffle furnace at 480-degrees Celsius (to remove organic matrix), treated with acid (to remove any mineral carbonate), and filtered through a 0.4-micron filter before being analyzed by PLM. The sample must be weighed between each of these steps to track the percent loss of organic matrix.

ELAP has determined that analysis of NOB materials is not reliably performed by PLM. Therefore, if PLM yields results of 1-percent asbestos or less, the result must be confirmed by TEM. Bulk samples that undergo TEM analysis use the sample reduction methodology stated above for NOB analysis by PLM. ELAP certified laboratories must include the following statement with their PLM analysis results for each “negative” (1-percent or less asbestos) NOB sample: "Polarized-light microscopy is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials. Before this material can be considered or treated as non-ACM, confirmation must be made by quantitative transmission electron microscopy".

Some samples are initially analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy. Samples which yield a negative PLM result and which are classified as a "non-friable" material should then re-analyzed utilizing Transmission Electron Microscopy methods both these analysis procedures shall be ELAP accredited.
