Engineering Controls for Lead Demolition: Contractor shall reference to section 01526, 6.0 Non-Enclosure Requirements (Lead Demolition) pages 38 and 39 of the Technical Specifications for Manual Demolition. Workers scraping, sanding, heat gun applications, power tool cleaning, abrasive blasting, welding, cutting and torch burning on surfaces that are coated with lead (Pb) are required to follow the OSHA Construction Standard of Lead (29CFR 1926.62) 2.0

INSPECTION:

2.1 Prior to commencement of work, a representative of Mountain Home AFB, and the Contractor shall walk through the areas in which work will be performed and prepare a listing of existing damage to structures, surfaces, equipment, or of surrounding properties which could be misconstrued as damage resulting from asbestos removal. All representatives shall sign the developed list. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to identify damage not listed but present in the work areas. Damage identified at the completion of work will be repaired by the Contractor.

POTENTIAL ASBESTOS HAZARD:

3.1 The disturbance or dislocation of asbestos‑containing materials may cause asbestos fibers and lead (Pb) in air to be released into the building's atmosphere, thereby creating a potential health hazard to workers. Apprise all workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors and consultants who will be at the job site of the seriousness of the hazards and of proper work procedures that must be followed.

3.2 During the performance of the work, if the project is located where workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors, or Mountain Home AFB personnel may encounter, disturb, or otherwise function in the immediate vicinity of any identified asbestos-containing and lead (Pb) materials, take appropriate continuous measures as necessary to protect all building occupants from the potential hazard of exposure to airborne asbestos and lead (Pb). Such measures shall include the procedures and methods described in the contract documents, and compliance with regulations of applicable federal, state, and local agencies.

4.0 Reserved 5.0

ASBESTOS‑LEAD CONTAINING MATERIALS:

5.1 Asbestos and Lead (Pb) containing materials are known to be present at the work site. If any other materials are found which are suspected of containing asbestos or lead (Pb), notify the Mountain Home AFB representative immediately.

Unless specifically identified within this specification, the Contractor should assume that the site is fully operational 24 hours per day and that all process systems are active. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that business is not interrupted at any time. Further, it is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that supervisors, workers, and subcontractors do not leave the immediate area of work.

6.2 Use of the Site: Confine operations at the site to the areas permitted under the Contract. Portions of the site beyond areas on which work is indicated are not to be disturbed. Depending upon the situation, violations of this requirement may result in immediate dismissal from the site. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to conform to all rules affecting the work while engaged in project construction as listed below:

6.2.1 Lock automotive-type vehicles, such as passenger cars and trucks and other mechanized or motorized construction equipment, when parked and unattended, to prevent unauthorized use. Do not leave such vehicles or equipment unattended with the motor running or the ignition key in place or accessible to unauthorized persons.

6.2.2 Do not unreasonably encumber the site with materials or equipment. Confine stockpiling of materials to specific areas identified by the Mountain Home AFB representative. The Owner will determine the on-site office and storage areas prior to the on set of work.

6.2.3 Keep existing driveways and entrances serving the premises clear and available to the Mountain Home AFB and its employees at all times. Contractor will use designated parking areas at all times.

6.2.4 Use designated smoking areas, if available, while working on the site.

6.2.5 The location of any locked, fully enclosed dumpsters will be coordinated with the Mountain Home AFB prior to the onset of work.

6.2.6 Mountain Home AFB controls the use of open flames, torches, or other ignition sources during any abatement operation.

Refer instances of uncertainty to the Project Manager for decision before proceeding.

3.6 Copies of Standards: Each entity engaged in construction on the Project is required to be familiar with industry standards applicable to that entities' construction activity. Copies of applicable standards are not bound with the Contract Documents.

Where copies of standards are needed for performance of a required construction activity, the Contractor shall obtain copies directly from the publication source.

Although copies of standards needed for enforcement of requirements may be part of required submittals, the Project Administrator and Project Manager reserve the right to require the Contractor to submit additional copies as necessary for enforcement of requirements.
