SCOPE OF WORK

Asbestos Abatement and Cleaning of Structural Steel and Related Surfaces, Building 101

AFRL/RI Rome, New York

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Objectives

This Scope of Work (SOW) defines requirements for asbestos abatement and cleaning of structural steel and related surfaces at Building 101 located at AFRL/RI, Rome, NY.

1.2 Contracts

The SOW shall be performed under one (1) Prime Contract as follows:

a. Contract 1, Asbestos Abatement, Structural Steel Cleaning and Related Work

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

2.1 Task 1 – Asbestos Abatement at Building 101

The Contractor shall remove and properly dispose of all asbestos containing pipe insulation as specified herein. Once abatement has been completed, piping shall be reinsulated as specified herein. All work will be conducted in accordance with all applicable regulations and shall be done as directed by AFRL/RI and/or AFRL/RI’s designated representative(s).

Piping will be reinsulated consistent with the current extent of insulation and currently active piping systems. Reinsulation of piping will be completed after the conclusion of all Task 2 activities.

2.2 Task 2 – Cleaning of Structural Steel and Related Surfaces at Building 101

The Contractor shall clean all steel and related surfaces as specified herein throughout Building 101.

Structural steel and dust-laden surfaces located eight (8) feet above the building floor elevation(s) will be cleaned to remove RCRA metals as specified herein. The floor area (and floor mounted equipment) within the Paint Corrosion Control Shop mezzanine will be cleaned of RCRA metals and PCB contamination in accordance with the plans and specification provided.

Cleaning will include gross cleaning with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) vacuums to remove dust particulates followed by wet wiping with a cleaning solution to ensure that residual dust is removed from all surfaces identified in the specifications and associated documents.

A-2

A final wiping with distilled water will be completed before confirmatory sampling is conducted by AFRL/RI’s representative. Work will be considered complete in each work area upon receipt of favorable confirmatory sampling results. An area shall be deemed as “clean as practicable” as defined in Section 2.3.7 below.

The Contractor shall containerize all waste generated by the cleaning operation in labeled 55-gallon drums and/or open roll-offs. The Contractor shall add to the label the date on which the waste container was filled. At the conclusion of the project or as appropriate, waste drums shall be consolidated in the B101 hangar for waste characterization and disposal in coordination with AFRL/RI.

The Contractor will collect breathing air samples from at least two (2) of the personnel conducting removal activities to ensure that adequate respiratory protection is being used. Samples shall be collected over an 8-hour period and compared to the NIOSH time weighted average (TWA) for worker exposure. Samples shall be submitted for analysis using NIOSH method N7300 for four (4) RCRA Metals including barium, cadmium, chromium, and lead and Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) Method ID-215 for chromium (hexavalent) [Cr(VI)]. As initial sample results are obtained, some constituents may be removed from that list if not identified in background samples. If additional sampling is required under OSHA or other applicable regulations, the Contractor shall be responsible for all required sampling and analysis.

At the completion of work, the Contractor shall prepare a completion report to include a description of removal activities, sample locations and sample results.

Pertaining to Contractor Usage

For the purposes of this contract, the “HMMP Team” and the “HAZMART” are the EOH Office.

2.4.4 HAZMAT Determination and Authorization Procedures for Contractors

2.4.4.1 Contractors using HAZMAT on Air Force installations must comply with the authorization procedures below.

2.4.4.1.1 If a contract is expected to require a Contractor to bring or to use HAZMAT on an installation, the Contracting Office shall include both Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.223-3, Hazardous Material Identification and Material Safety Data, current edition, AFFARS Clause 5352.223-9003, and installation-specific contract requirements.

2.4.4.1.2 HMMP team representatives will provide the contracting office with installation-specific contract requirements (for inclusion in the contract) regarding how contractors must request AF Form 3952 authorization and report the required HAZMAT usage data to the

HAZMART.

2.4.4.1.3 IAW FAR Clause 52.223-3, each offeror must provide the Contracting Office with a list of proposed HAZMAT that it plans to use on the installation during the performance of the contract. Contractors must obtain Air Force authorization prior to using HAZMAT on an Air Force installation, and must report usage data to the HAZMART.

2.4.4.1.4 Contractors must submit to the Contracting Office the information and supporting documentation (including MSDS) necessary to obtain HAZMAT usage authorization. The Contracting Office will transmit the contractor submittal to the HAZMART for processing.

No Class I ODS’s can be used.

2.4.4.1.5 For each Contractor-identified HAZMAT that the HMMP team determines does not meet the Air Force definition of a HAZMAT, the AFRL/RI HMP requirements do not apply. The HMMP team will notify the Contracting Office that the Contractor has authorization to bring and use that material on the installation without reporting usage.

2.4.4.1.6 For each Contractor-identified HAZMAT that the HMMP team determines does meet the

Air Force definition of a HAZMAT, the Air Force will require CE authorization and SE review of the AF Form 3952 information. The CE authorization is for environmental, fire protection concerns, and emergency response purposes. The SE review is “for information purposes only” (see AF Form 3952), and does not involve evaluation and approval of the Contractor’s safety and health programs. The purpose of the SE review is to identify potential risks to government personnel and resources and advise CE and the Contracting Office on how to mitigate identified hazards from planned Contractor HAZMAT usage.

B-13

2.4.4.1.7 The HAZMART ensures entry of the contractor supplied information into HMMS. This action includes the addition of the contractor to the AUL.

2.4.4.1.8 Report data on the HAZMAT used during the performance of the contract at intervals and in the format specified by the HMMP team. For the purposes of this contract, total gallons of each HAZMAT used must be reported.

2.4.4.1.9 If the contractor needs to bring a material on the installation that was not included in the original HAZMAT listing, the contractor must first notify the Contracting Office and then obtain prior authorization, if the HMMP team determines the material to be a HAZMAT.
