1.) Is the attached Asbestos report for the entire building, or the location we viewed today? The attached site map on page 10 does not appear to reflect the area we were viewing today. It references carpet and I believe we are only replacing the blue rubber flooring materials with new

LVT.

A.) Test 5 -07 Is the stairway tile.

2.) For the installation method, how do they want to flooring installed? I would recommend random to mimic a wood floor as this is the style of LVT that has been selected. A wood look. That way the pieces on the stair treads and risers will blend better for an overall better aesthetic.

A.) Yes.
