HAZARDOUS MATERIAL

TESTING

Koke’e, HI Kauai Astronomical Observatory, 49X3+6W, Hanalei, HI 96746

611th CES Squadron 27 FEB 2025

1. Scope: This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the necessary procedures for conducting Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) testing in buildings 1, 5, 10, and 14100 located on Koke’e.

1.1. Background: Asbestos has been a known issue at the Koke’e location since a report completed in 1995. The report revealed asbestos levels ranging from 2-7% in the floor tiles of buildings 1, 5, 10, and 14100. These levels are significant, as asbestos exposure can pose serious health risks. Personnel at the Koke’e location have reported various medical conditions and issues related to asbestos exposure. Asbestos exposure can lead to both cancerous and non-cancerous diseases.

3.2.4 The Contractor must utilize a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) approved lab for the sample report.

3.2.5 The Contractor will undertake a comprehensive assessment and sampling procedure, which includes ACM (Asbestos-Containing Materials) testing for buildings 1, 5, 10, and 14100, with a total area of approximately 20,000 square feet. Adequate sampling will be conducted on the floors, walls, pipes, ceilings to ensure the government receives thorough and accurate information for each facility. Contractor will ensure adequate testing is done in the upstairs support section room, downstairs radar tech offices, kitchen/common area, and the bedrooms of building 1 and the results for these areas should be specifically denoted in the report. See attached for a Map of the buildings.

4. Submittals:

4.1. All project submittals must be accompanied by a completed AF Form 3000, Material Approval Submittal. All AF3000 will be submitted to the CO for signature. If there is a change in process or material, different from what was proposed and awarded, the CO or PM’s signature on the AF3000 does not constitute an approved change order. Any changes must be coordinated with the CO prior to submission of the AF3000 for signature.

4.2. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer the following Schedule timeline within 15 days of award for all major project milestones.

4.3. All sitework completed and testing results submitted to government within 15 business days of contractor having access to installation.
