7. GENERAL: Work under this section consists of the proper removal, handling and disposal of asbestos containing materials from the buildings and facilities included in the contract and the incidental procedures and equipment required to protect workers and base personnel from contact with airborne asbestos fibers. Approximate locations of asbestos containing materials to be removed and disposed of will be provided by the government. It will be the contractor's responsibility to visit the buildings and determine the exact amount of asbestos bearing materials, prior to bidding, and to prepare his bid accordingly.

8. EXECUTION:

a. Respirator Protection:

(1) See Paragraph 6.

(2) An organic filter also must be worn to protect against solvent fumes, when applicable.

b. Work Area Preparation (where applicable) - General:

(1) Completely isolate the work area from other parts of the building so as to prevent asbestos-containing dust or debris from passing beyond the isolated area. The work area shall be separated by polyethylene plastic sheet barriers at least 6 mil in thickness and perimeters sealed with duct tape or spray cement. Should the area(s) beyond the work area(s) become contaminated with asbestos-containing dust or debris as a consequence of the initial work performed, immediately stop all abatement work and clean those areas in accordance with the procedures indicated in FINAL INSPECTION AND TESTING, paragraph 8.e. All required cleaning or decontamination shall be performed at no additional cost to the government.

(2) For isolated contaminated area(s), seal all ventilation openings (supply and exhaust), lighting fixtures, clocks, doorways, windows, convectors, speakers, and other potential pathways/openings into the work area with 6 mil thickness polyethyulene sheeting taped securely in place with duct tape. Maintain seal until all work including project decontamination is completed.

(3) For areas considered contaminated and whereby surface cleaning alone will not ensure decontamination, remove and clean accessible fixtures such as clocks, lights, ventilation and exhaust grilles, movable cabinets, etc.

(4) Two layers of 4 mil polyethylene shall be placed on wall surfaces.

(5) Shut down, disconnect, lock off and tag all electric power to the work area so that there is no possibility of its reactivation until after clearance testing of the work area. Provide temporary power and lighting and ensure safe installation of temporary power sources and equipment per applicable electrical code requirements and OSHA requirements for temporary lighting in the asbestos abatement work area.

(6) Shut down, isolate and tag heating, cooling, and ventilating air systems to prevent contamination and fiber dispersal to other areas of the structure. During the work, vents within the

02080-4 work area shall be sealed with tape and plastic sheeting. Where possible, air supply shall be maintained to government occupied areas at all times.

(7) Clean all surfaces in work area with a HEPA filtered vacuum and by wet wiping prior to the installation of any sheet plastic.

(8) Cover floor of work area where applicable with at least two individual layers of clear polyethylene sheeting, at least 6 mil in thickness turned up walls at least 18 inches. Both spray-glue and duct tape all seams in floor covering. Locate seams in top layer 6 feet from, or at right angles to, seams in bottom layer.

Install sheeting so that top layer can be removed independently of bottom layer. Where carpet is present, three layers of six mil polyethylene will be required.

(9) Remove and reinstall all electrical and mechanical items, such as lighting fixtures, clocks, diffusers, registers, escutcheon plates, etc., which cover any part of the surface to be worked on.

(10) Preclean fixed objects with filtered HEPA vacuum and/or wet cleaning methods as appropriate. Seal joints of covers or casing(s) with duct tape and enclose fixed objects with minimum of 6 mil plastic sheeting sealed airtight with duct tape. Disassembly of these fixed objects is not required.

(b) Prepare work area(s) as previously specified.

(c) Spray large areas of asbestos material with amended water, using spray equipment recommended by surfactant manufacturer capable of providing a "mist" application, to reduce the release of fibers. Wet the material sufficiently to saturate it to the substrate without causing excessive dripping. Spray the asbestos material repeatedly during removal to maintain wet conditions. Do not use excessive amounts of water.

(d) Use extreme care when using water in connection with asbestos removal.

Contractor shall be solely and completely, financially and otherwise, responsible for all water damage in adjacent work areas and throughout the remainder of the building which occurs as a result of executing the work of this section.

(e) Clean surfaces with a stiff nylon brush. Remove overspray from walls, slab, etc. Contractor is responsible for complete cleaning of the surfaces in the Work Area.

(f) Remove the saturated asbestos material in small sections. Do not allow material to dry out. As it is removed, place the material in sealable plastic bags of 6 mil minimum thickness and place in labeled containers for transport.

(g) After removal of asbestos-containing material, all surfaces shall be wet-cleaned to remove residual accumulated material. Continue to wet-clean until surface is free of visible material.

d. Monitoring (Where Applicable):

(1) The contractor will conduct all air monitoring as required by OSHA. Daily air sampling results must be recorded and posted on a daily basis. All air sampling results shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer at the conclusion of this project.

(2) The air sample collection method must be consistent with criteria set forth in the

OSHA CIH technical manual (OSHA Instruction CPL 2-2.43, 20 Oct 87) on gravimetric air sampling. Air samples must be analyzed by AIHA accredited laboratory or one that has successfully participated in NIOSH PAT program. The analyst must have successfully completed a "Sampling and Evaluating Airborne Asbestos Dust" NIOSH 582 course or equivalent.

e. Final Inspection and Testing:

02080-6

(1) Final Inspection and Testing: Cleaning of the work areas and other contaminated areas shall be conducted in accordance with the three-step procedure described below unless noted:

Step 1: Preliminary cleanup Visual inspection

Step 2: Lockdown ---

Step 3: Final Re-Occupancy Visual inspection and fiber count

Clearance less than 0.01f/cc using PCM for the average of three samples

(a) Step 1. Preliminary Cleanup:

1. Remove visible accumulation of asbestos material and debris.

2. Wet clean all surfaces and objects in the work area and any other contaminated area.

3. After cleaning the work area, remove first layer of polyethylene from walls and perform a complete visual inspection of the work area to assure that the area is free of contamination.

4. Sealed bags and all equipment used in the work areas shall be included in the cleanup and shall be removed from work area.

(b) Step 2. Lockdown:

1. After visual inspection, all surfaces and building components from which asbestos-containing material was removed shall receive lockdown sealant to seal existing surfaces according to the following criteria:

a. Mixing, spraying, and pumping equipment, as recommended by the sealant material's manufacturer, shall be used to insure a minimum dry film thickness obtainable by spraying one gallon of sealant over 300 square feet.

b. Sealant specified in other divisions shall be installed using procedures as recommended by the manufacturer's written instructions.

2. When the sealant is dry, wait minimum 12 hours to allow for settlement of dust.

(c) Step 3. Final Re-occupancy Clearance. Re-occupancy will be approved if the fiber found in the work area is 0.01f/cc or less using aggressive sampling techniques.

Failure to achieve this level will necessitate further cleaning by and at the expense of the

Contractor. When the work area passes the re-occupancy test, the second layer of polyethylene and all controls and seals established will be removed, placed in double bags, and disposed of as asbestos contaminated waste.
