STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

ASBESTOS REMOVAL

1.0. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. The contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment and labor necessary to ensure that asbestos services performed at Hill AFB, shall be in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and follow the procedures outlined in the respective approved work plan submitted by the contractor. Contractor is to remove asbestos drywall ceilings, TSI pipe fittings, and decontaminate finished areas. Contractor will be required to construct one (1) negative pressure enclosure. Upon completion of removal activities, contractor will wet clean all building components from the ceiling deck, down to the floor. This will be accomplished prior to encapsulation and aggressive air clearance sampling. Asbestos removal work plan will be submitted by the contractor to 75 CES/CEOHA for approval, prior to starting the project. Contractor will be responsible for submitting the required NESHAP notification to the Utah Department of Air Quality (DAQ), 10 days prior to starting the asbestos removal phase of any project when required.

1.1. REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS MATERIALS (ACM). The contractor will remove the ACM in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1101 and as outlined in DAQ R307-801, prior to set-up and removal of any asbestos containing materials. Critical barriers will cover all openings and penetrations inside the regulated work area and will remain in place until the areas have been released as clean, first by a visual inspection and then by aggressive air clearance sampling. A government representative, certified as an asbestos inspector from 75 Civil Engineering will provide this visual inspection. An independent, third party consulting firm will run the aggressive air clearance samples. A three stage decon unit will be attached to each enclosure/phase prior to starting any asbestos removal. The decon unit will be equipped with hot and cold running water. Shower and or residual water will be filtered down to 5 microns before being discharged into a sanitary sewer drain. Regulated area will be demarcated with asbestos warning signs and barrier tape. Contractor will remove and properly package the ACM while adequately wet.

1.2. SAFETY BARRIERS. All wall, ceiling, as well as HVAC supply and return grills, exhaust fans, ceiling return plenums or associated ventilation openings, including all openings above the suspended ceiling will be sealed in an airtight manner with 6-mil polyethylene sheeting and 3” duct tape. These airtight critical barriers are to remain in place for the duration of the removal project and will not be removed until the work area has passed final visual inspection by 75 Civil Engineering and aggressive air clearance sampling has been completed. Negative air flow/pressure enclosures will be constructed out of fire retardant 4 and 6-mil polyethylene sheeting. Prior to the disturbance of any ACM, asbestos warning signs will be posted at the decon module entrance into the regulated area or at any openings where unauthorized entry could be made. The contractor shall provide all construction support equipment items to control and secure the removal site and any remote storage areas, including, sanitary facilities, barriers, barricades, scaffolding, fences, traffic/parking signs/signals, and flag persons when required. The contractor is responsible for the erection and safe application of all equipment.

1.3. NEGATIVE AIR FLOW AND OR NEGATIVE PRESSURE ENCLOSURE. Prior to the disturbance of any asbestos materials, contractor will establish negative airflow and pressure inside each regulated area, through the use of HEPA air filtration device’s (AFD). These AFD’s will be located in such a way, that will allow proper directional airflow in all locations of the contained work area and provide at least four complete air changes per hour and the AFD’s will provide at a minimum -0.02” inches of column water pressure, differential relative to outside pressure. Maintain a monitoring device to measure the negative pressure in the enclosure and maintain this negative pressure until each area has been released as clean by visual inspections and aggressive air clearance sampling. If the negative pressure drops below the minimal -0.02”, work will be stopped immediately; until the required negative pressure is again restored.

1.4. REMOVE ASBESTOS DRYWALL/JOINT COMPOUND. Drywall/joint compound shall be removed inside a negative pressure enclosure and shall be adequately wetted before and during removal activities with amended water, applied with an airless sprayer as per 29 CFR 1926.1101. Approximately 600 square feet of drywall/joint compound will be removed from the mech. room ceilings. Debris will be placed into double 6-mil burial bags. Nails and or screws used to secure drywall in place will be removed as asbestos waste. Upon completion of the asbestos removal, all surfaces inside the regulated area shall be visibly clean of any debris and or dust. Entire work area will be HEPA vacuumed and wet cleaned prior to the final visual inspection and encapsulation.

1.5. REMOVE THERMAL SYSTEM INSULATION FROM PIPE FITTINGS. The contractor will remove approximately 80 asbestos thermal systems pipe fitting insulation inside a negative pressure enclosure, in accordance with the Utah Division of Air Quality regulation R307-801 14(2). Pipe fittings will be adequately wetted before and during removal activities with amended water and debris will be placed into double 6-mil burial bags. Upon completion of the asbestos removal, all surfaces inside the regulated area shall be visibly clean of any debris and/or dust. Entire work area will be HEPA vacuumed and wet cleaned prior to the final visual inspection and encapsulation.

1.6. STANDARD DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURE. Three-stage decontamination module will be used for entry to and exit from each work area. This will consist of 1) clean change room; 2) shower unit with hot and cold running water and 3) dirty or equipment room. A double flap polyethylene barrier will be used as a barrier between each of these rooms, as well as at the outer clean room entrance and the threshold between the equipment room and work area. Contractor employee’s/visitors will enter/exit through this decon unit only. Protective clothing will be removed inside the dirty chamber while still wearing respiratory protection. Personnel will rinse off in the shower first, before doffing their respirators. Upon completion of shower, personnel will enter the clean room to dry, dress, and visually inspect respirator for damage prior to storing in proper container. Shower and waste water will be filtered down to 5 microns, before water is discharged into the nearest sanitary sewer drain.

1.7. AIR SAMPLE MONITORING. The contractor shall monitor all areas for potential hazards and ensure that health and safety precautions are taken during asbestos removal activities. This is to include personal breathing zone monitors as required by OSHA, area air samples, and aggressive air clearance samples. Personal breathing zone air sampling will be conducted daily for each activity/job being performed inside the containment. In situations where all workers are involved in the same activity/job, the workers to be sampled will be selected based on the highest potential for exposure. These samples will then be considered as representative of all workers performing the same activity. Thirty-minute excursion sampling will be conducted during this same, worst case activity. Aggressive air clearance samples will be conducted by an independent, third party consulting firm. This independent firm must be licensed and certified as a consultant/inspector with the Utah Division of Air Quality. If the contractor fails the air clearance criteria, then the contractor will be responsible for re-cleaning the regulated area and having the independent consulting firm run the aggressive air clearance samples again, at no expense to the government.

1.8. CLEANING AND WASTE CONTROL. The contractor shall ensure that the regulated work area is cleared of visible asbestos containing materials/debris, prior to 75 CES/CEOHA certified asbestos inspectors providing the final visual inspection. Once the contractor has passed the final visual inspection, contractor will lightly encapsulate the entire work area with Fosters 32-22. Dry sweep or compressed air shall not be used for cleanup. Polyethylene sheeting will be treated as asbestos containing materials. All ACM materials will be properly packaged while adequately wet, labeled, and disposed of in an EPA approved landfill.

1.9. USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE). The provisions of this section are applicable to all of the abatement procedures in this statement of work. Regardless of exposure levels, all employees in the regulated area will wear an appropriate type respirator (i.e. PAPR with dual HEPA P100 cartridges/organic cartridges or half-face respirator with dual HEPA P100 cartridges/organic cartridges), protective clothing (polypropylene/tyvek), head coverings, gloves, foot coverings, and proper eye protection. If more stringent respiratory protection is required, it will follow the guidelines set forth in Table 1 of 29 CFR 1926.1101. When rips or tears are detected while a worker is working within a regulated area the rips and tears shall be immediately mended or the work suit shall be immediately replaced. Regardless of the exposure levels detected or anticipated, not less than a half-face air-purifying respirator will be provided to all workers inside the regulated area or those handling bagged material. Contractor will provide adequate protective clothing to all authorized visitors and inspectors. Personnel inside the regulated area will not be allowed to eat, smoke, drink, and chew tobacco or gum. Employees working outside of the regulated area handling bagged or containerized material will wear a half-face respirator and clean protective suits.

1.10. ELECTRICAL SAFETY. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and wet environment electrical cords will be used inside the regulated work area. GFCI’s used are designed to remove power from equipment loads when these loads have a potentially lethal ground current in excess of six milliamperes.
