About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to asbestos abatement specifications issued by Walled Lake Consolidated Schools for asbestos removal activities prior to renovations at Walled Lake Western High School located at 600 Beck Road, Walled Lake, Michigan. The addendum modifies the original bid specifications to reflect significant changes in abatement materials and requirements, specifically correcting Project Group WLW-1 to address exterior window frames with asbestos glazing rather than exterior window frames with asbestos caulk. The project encompasses removal and disposal of asbestos floor tile, asbestos floor tile mastic, wall window frames with asbestos glazing, exterior window frames with asbestos glazing, asbestos lab countertop materials, interior door frames with asbestos caulk, sinks with asbestos undercoating, tagged fire doors and frames, and non-asbestos carpet materials from construction Area E throughout the school building. Project Group WLW-1 is scheduled to commence on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, and be completed by the end of the work shift on Thursday, June 25, 2026, allowing eight workdays for completion with building availability from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. A separate Project Group WLW-3 for Area H is scheduled from Tuesday, June 30, 2026, through Monday, July 6, 2026, with four workdays allowed for completion. Original bid submissions were due at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
The contractor must establish multiple negative pressure regulated enclosures using Class II removal procedures and comply with all AHERA and OSHA Asbestos Standard requirements. Project Group WLW-1 requires thirteen TEM clearance air samples (five inside, five outside, three blanks) with all inside samples analyzed below an average of 70 AS/mm² for enclosure tear down, and five PCM samples per regulated area analyzed below 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter. The contractor is responsible for supplying labor and materials to board up and weatherproof all window openings created by exterior window removal with plywood and 2' x 4' supports, with such boarding expected to remain in place for up to two weeks. The owner will clear all project areas of furniture and moveable objects prior to project commencement. Detailed scope summaries identify specific locations and quantities of materials to be removed across multiple rooms, including square footage of flooring materials, linear feet of caulked areas, and numbered frames requiring abatement.
