RFI - 0012 Has there been any asbestos and lead paint studies completed on the building? CES No, part of the request is to have a complete lead based paint study completed

RFI - 0013

Do we have all the paint (interior & exterior removed (remediation) to raw metal before recoating?

CES

No exterior work. •Op on one aligns with the scope outlined in the SHPO/AHC packet that has been approved, to scrape and paint. With this option, you will scrape the paint to collect on plastic and when all scraping is done the paint chips go into a drum for Haz waste disposal as paint waste.

•Op on two, is to do a full abatement. With this op on, you will need an abatement contractor who specializes in lead abatement and the metal would have to be fully striped of paint. This option has potential to be approved if this is the option chosen.

Option two requires a lead abatement contractor that has been certified.
