Clarifications 10/11/2017 Exp responses in Brown - 10/11/2017

1. Please clarify Carpet requirements for ED space (which floors are new and which is reuse existing) Alternate #4 in Addendum #2.”

Answer: Delete Alternate #4 from the Specification Section 012300.

2. The new Price Proposal Worksheet does not match with the Addendum #2 breakdown for Alternates please revise and resubmit Work sheet to match alternate requested.

Answer: Delete Alternate #4 from the Specification Section 012300.

3. In the Option #2 of the Price Proposal Worksheet, Paint 18th Floor Corridor Walls: can you describe which corridors by numbers please, aren’t sure we talking about all new corridors, existing corridors or both?

Answer: The public corridors, 18CNW, 18CNE, 18CSW, 18CSE, work includes patching, prep, and painting, of exiting painted walls, doors, and HM frames to remain.

4. Please confirm that the GSA will be handling all required asbestos and lead abatement. → follow up from the offeror: In the original SOW there was no mention of asbestos or lead abatement. Amendment 4 meeting notes indicated that the “pre-alteration” assessment for the work areas to determine if there was any asbestos or lead was being completed, however this report has just been made available in Amendment 12. There has been no specification as to who is responsible for providing the work for removal, air quality testing, and remediation completion reports. Will the government be handling asbestos and abatement or should this be included in our proposal?

Answer: The CMc is responsible for asbestos and lead based paint abatement.

5. Can you please provide some information for the Shades noted in the key notes on the Telecom Drawings at Conference rooms? I don’t see them noted anywhere else. Are these to be included or part of your FF& E package, if not what are you looking for?

Answer: The note refers to integrating any controls between AV equipment and any automated shade controllers - to be determined. This is a preliminary note at this stage of design. Currently there are no blinds indicated in the OIG conference rooms.

6. We had a subcontractor remind us of a question that was asked earlier in the project bidding phase, but hasn’t been answered to-date. The Department of Education drawings; on sheet A119 for the 39th floor it doesn’t show any lockers or storage bins (they actually are shown on sheet A139 (the furniture plan). The furniture plan materials and labor are to be by others and we coordinate the installation. As a clarification, are the lockers and storage units included as part of your furniture work or are we supposed to include these items in the construction phase of our costs? Any clarifications that you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: The lockers and storage bins are part of the furniture work.

*Positive joint compound layer separated from cove base sample collected was insufficient sample size for laboratory QA/QC and may have potentially been contaminated as stated by the laboratory. Three (3) other drywall and joint compound samples collected in the 39th floor tax court space were reported as “negative” for ACM content.

EDI recognizes that the laboratory reported an insufficient quantity to define the sample per method.

They do report 1.2% chrysotile. Based on other samples at the facility on this floor for similar materials, EDI recommends that this sample be considered consistent and homogeneous with the results of the drywall and joint compound sample results from other areas. The homogeneous sampling materials were composited and analyzed as a total composite material per EPA guidelines with results reported as Trace chrysotile.

Based on previous reports reviewed by EDI, the following suspect materials were reported to contain asbestos greater than 1 percent (>1%) and are thereby regulated as ACM. EDI did not visually identify these materials on the ductwork and flex connectors on the 18th and 39th floor tax court spaces. However, the renovation project will include removal of the suspended ceiling tile system and renovation to existing ductwork above the suspended ceiling that may impact this material, therefore the material is included as an ACM.

1.0 Introduction

EDI was retained by exp to provide an ACM and LBP survey of the 18th,29th and 39th Floor Tax Court, located at JCK Federal building at 230 S. Dearborn Street in Chicago, IL. The survey focused on all building materials as defined by exp through emails and phone conversations. EDI performed the field activities from July 25 through July 27th, 2017, by Mr. Paul Kybartas, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Asbestos Inspector (Asbestos Inspector License #100-08451), IDPH Lead Risk Assessor (Lead Risk Assessor License # 006379)

Project Purpose and Background

The ACM and LBP survey was conducted for the planned renovations of the 18th, 29th and 39th Floor Tax Court Office Areas.

1.1 Scope of Work

EDI evaluated the facility for the presence of ACM and LBP. The following items were included in the scope of work.

Asbestos Verification and Quantification Inspection

EDI performed a survey to determine and quantify suspect ACM within the facility. Only specific areas as directed by exp were included in the survey. The ACM survey included the following activities:

• Review of previous environmental reports for the subject property

• Visual inspection of accessible areas of the subject property.

• Collection of bulk samples of identified suspect ACM per homogeneous materials.

• NVLAP accredited laboratory analysis of suspect ACM bulk samples by polarized light microscopy

(PLM) to first positive result per homogeneous material.

Preparation of a final report of findings.

LBP Survey

EDI performed a limited LBP survey, including testing of select surfaces that may be impacted by project activities. EDI utilized XRF technology for testing selected surfaces throughout the proposed renovation area. EDI’s LBP survey utilized modified procedures and XRF testing consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations and guidelines. LBP testing by XRF is a non-destructive testing protocol and no paint chip sampling or lead dust wipe were included in the survey. Representative sampling areas (RSAs), consisting of similar components with similar paint color and application, were defined and tested.

General Services Administration (GSA)

Limited Hazardous Material Building Survey

EDI performed a limited visual hazardous and non-hazardous material survey only in the areas that are planned renovation, as provided by exp. Hazardous material surveys were performed by EDI’s experienced and trained professionals. At a minimum, inspectors performing the hazardous material surveys have completed the OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) initial and subsequent refresher training courses. The hazardous material surveys focused on identifying potentially hazardous materials such as polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing components, mercury-containing components, chemicals and other hazardous and non-hazardous materials that will require special handling and disposal prior to demolition activities that may affect those materials. No physical sampling of any potentially hazardous materials was performed as part of the survey.

General Services Administration (GSA)

2.0 Asbestos Survey

2.1 Asbestos Survey Methodology

EDI reviewed the following applicable environmental reports that EDI has been provided by the General Services Administration (GSA);

• “Pre-Renovation Asbestos-Containing Material – 32nd Floor; OSHA Renovation,” dated May 8, 2015 report produced by Carnow Conibear, included as Appendix F

• “Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Building Inspections in Region 5 at John C. Kluczynski Federal Building,” dated September 9, 2014 produced by TRC Environmental Corporation

• “Pre-Renovation Asbestos-Containing Material Survey Summary Report” – 30th Floor dated September 27, 2013 report produced by Carnow Conibear

• “Asbestos Bulk Sampling Results @ GSA Kluczynski Building – 34th Floor Renovation,” dated April 17, 2014 report produced by Carnow Conibear

EDI performed a visual survey of building materials and collected representative samples of homogeneous suspect ACM, in accordance with EPA requirements, guidelines and standard industry practices. The representative sampling was performed using hand-tools without aid of power driven equipment. Based on the authorized scope of work, EDI was not required to repair damage from the representative sampling.

Only currently certified and licensed inspector(s) and (if appropriate) trainee(s) were utilized for this inspection.

The inspector(s) first reviewed supplied building documents, if applicable. A property/structure(s) walk-thru was then conducted to locate, identify, measure and separate identified suspect asbestos containing materials into homogeneous areas.

Samples were collected using EPA approved methods specifically designed for sample collection.

Samples were taken utilizing the randomly distributive manner method while simultaneously applying amended water. Samples were immediately placed in a pre-labeled re-sealable plastic bag. To prevent accidental exposure, sample containers are made of a durable plastic designed to provide and airtight seal. The sampling instrument was subsequently wiped with a clean moist cloth to decontaminate the tool, prevent the potential release of asbestos fibers, and prevent cross contamination of subsequent samples. Sample areas were assessed to determine friability.

The following chart, as detailed by 40 CFR 763.86, is typically used (and in certain cases, required) for sampling surfacing materials that are spray-applied and troweled-on to walls and ceilings;

< 1000 s/f 3 samples 1000 – 5000 s/f 5 samples >5000 s/f 7 samples

9 samples are recommended by the EPA for all samples

General Services Administration (GSA)

A minimum of three (3) samples of other suspect homogeneous materials consisting of thermal systems insulation (TSI) on the mechanical systems;

A group letter or combination of letter and number was assigned to each homogenous material. This combination serves as a prefix to identify materials of similar composition, texture, color, and date of installation, i.e., ceiling tile may be represented as CT1. Each sample was then assigned a sample number such as 01, 02, 03, etc.

All samples were identified on a signed and dated Chain-of-Custody document, which accompanied the samples to the laboratory.

The bulk samples were submitted to a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratory for bulk analysis. To ensure both quality and objectivity, an independent laboratory was used. Laboratories are selected based on their current accreditations.

Suspected asbestos samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) / dispersion staining techniques in accordance with the EPA Method documents “US EPA 600/M4-82-020, 1982” & “US EPA 600/R-93/118, 1993”. Detection limits for this type of analysis are approximately one percent (by volume). All samples were analyzed by International Asbestos Testing Laboratories, Inc. (IATL) of Mt.

Laurel, New Jersey. Laboratory results and accreditations are provided in Appendix B.

It should be noted when reviewing the data that multiple results can be reported for the same sample number. This is due to the fact that types of samples can produce multiple layers to be analyzed (i.e., floor tile and mastic, drywall and drywall compound, multi-layered TSI). However, while the laboratory will separate the different layers of the material for analysis, during the renovation if one layer of a multi-layered material is positive for asbestos, then all layers of that positive sample are considered positive for asbestos.

Some materials may not be accurately identified and/or quantified by PLM. As an example, the original fabrication of vinyl floor tile routinely involved milling of asbestos fibers to extremely small sizes. As a result, these fibers may go undetected under the standard PLM method. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is required for a more definitive analysis of these materials. These types of flooring materials that are reported by laboratory analysis to be non-asbestos by PLM analysis are routinely submitted to an accredited laboratory for analysis under TEM for verification of asbestos content. No samples were tested with TEM analysis for this project.

The homogeneous sampling materials

General Services Administration (GSA) were composited and analyzed as a total composite material per EPA guidelines with results reported as Trace chrysotile.

Based on previous reports reviewed by EDI, the following suspect materials were reported to contain asbestos greater than 1 percent (>1%) and are thereby regulated as ACM. EDI did not visually identify these materials on the ductwork and flex connectors on the 18th and 39th floor tax court during our assessment. However, the renovation project will include removal of the suspended ceiling tile system and renovation to existing ductwork above the suspended ceiling that may impact this material, therefore the material is included as an ACM.

Suspect asbestos containing materials were identified and sampled in accordance with the above-referenced survey methodology. Laboratory results for suspect materials that were identified and sampled are included in Appendix A – Table I – Asbestos Survey Analytical Summary.It should be noted when reviewing the data that multiple results can be reported for the same sample number. This is due to the fact that types of samples can produce multiple layers to be analyzed (i.e., floor tile and mastic, drywall and drywall compound, multi-layered TSI). However, while the laboratory will separate the different layers of the material for analysis, during the renovation if one layer of a multi-layered material is positive for asbestos, then all layers of that positive sample are considered positive for asbestos.

General Services Administration (GSA)

2.3 Applicable Regulations

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

EPA's National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR 61, Subpart M) categorizes asbestos-containing materials (ACM) as any product that contains >1% asbestos, thereby ACM is regulated by EPA. EPA classifies the >1% asbestos materials as Regulated ACM, (RACM).

Materials that contain <1% asbestos are not ACM; they are not regulated by EPA; and, are thereby not

RACM.

Thermal system insulation (TSI) and sprayed-on or troweled-on asbestos is friable Regulated ACM (RACM); miscellaneous materials (floor tile and floor tile mastic) are classified as Category I Non- Friable Asbestos; and transite material is classified as Category II Non-Friable Asbestos, unless the material is made friable during demolition. Friable ACM is material that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand.

NESHAP requires at least ten working days’ notification prior to any renovation or demolition activity that will disturb greater than 160 square feet or 260 linear feet of RACM materials. RACM removed during abatement must be disposed of at a landfill approved by the EPA to receive asbestos wastes.

NESHAP states that RACM, including friable ACM and non-friable ACM that has become or has a high probability of becoming friable, present in quantities exceeding 260 lineal feet on pipes or 160 square feet on facility components must be removed prior to the commencement of any demolition activities.

NESHAP also states that Category 1 non-friable ACM does not need to be removed prior to demolition if it is not in poor condition and has not become friable. Friable materials (with the exception of roofing products) and transite are typically required to be removed prior to a demolition. Asbestos containing floor tile and mastic are required to be removed from concrete prior to recycling. If a facility is demolished by intentional burning, all regulated asbestos containing materials including Category I and Category II non-friable ACM must be removed before burning.

Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH)

IDPH requires that a licensed abatement contractor perform the removal of ACM from the interior of facilities located within the State of Illinois. In addition, personnel performing the asbestos removal must be Illinois-licensed workers overseen by an Illinois-licensed supervisor. An Illinois-licensed Asbestos Project Designer should design the abatement of ACM, although no design is required under NESHAP regulations.

General Services Administration (GSA)

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard (29 CFR) regulated materials that contain asbestos. Unlike EPA regulations, OSHA regulations DO APPLY to materials <1% asbestos. OSHA regulations specify minimum work practice standards and engineering controls for materials that contain <1% asbestos. OSHA regulations also specify more stringent engineering controls and work practices for employees handling ACM (>1% asbestos).

OSHA categorizes the removal of ACM, as defined by EPA, by “class” of material. Specific requirements for the removal of OSHA classified materials include, but are not limited to, regulated work areas, air monitoring, engineering controls, work practices, personal protective equipment, notification and training.

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requires special procedures for packaging, labeling and transportation of asbestos wastes to disposal facilities. Other regulations may apply depending upon the contractor’s means and methods.

3.0 Limited Lead Based Paint Survey

3.1 Limited LBP Survey Methodology

EDI staff performed a limited visual survey of the building to identify representative painted surfaces for LBP testing. The limited LBP survey was conducted following a modified and limited sampling plan based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations and guidelines.

EDI utilized x-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology in the form of a Thermo-Scientific Niton, Model XLp, which utilizes a Cadmium-109 source, for testing selected surfaces/components throughout the proposed renovation area. LBP testing by XRF is a non-destructive testing protocol and no paint chip sampling or lead dust wipe sampling was included in the survey. Representative sampling areas (RSAs), consisting of similar components with similar paint color and application based on the age and era of construction, were defined and tested. The limited LBP survey was focused to determine surfaces/components that may require special handling for recycling and disposal as part of the planned renovation/demolition. The XRF is a Niton Lead Paint Analyzer (LPA) 1 using a Cobalt-57 (Co-57) isotope with a 20 milli-curie source. The XRF analyzer was used on interior and exterior painted surfaces that were determined to be Representative Sampling Areas (RSAs). RSAs are materials that are similar in color, texture, and general appearance, and which appear to have been painted during the same time period. Calibration checks of the XRF analyzer were performed prior to and at the conclusion of the shift. The XRF analyzer provides immediate positive or negative result readings of the painted surface, which are then recorded on a lead sample log.

3.2 LBP Survey Results

Two (2) of the building materials were reported to contain LBP.

3.3 Identified LBP

Based on previous inspections, and current sampling, the following building materials were reported to contain LBP.

3.4 Applicable Regulations and Guidelines

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

Although not applicable to public and commercial properties, HUD guidelines cover topics such as lead-based paint inspections/risk assessments, abatement options and methods, worker protection, occupant protection, cleanup, clearance, and waste. Except for those parts pertaining exclusively to housing, the

General Services Administration (GSA) guidelines can be used as resource information and methodologies for identifying and abating lead-based paint hazards in buildings.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

EPA regulations and guidelines cover requirements for certification and testing for LBP in residential structures. Work practices include topics such as: lead-based paint inspections/risk assessments;

abatement options and methods; cleanup; clearance; and, waste disposal.

According to the Illinois Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (35 IAC 721), and IEPAs Information Statement on the Removal of Lead-Based Paint, workers handling LBP coated building materials must be protected from exposure following OSHA regulations.

Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH)

Although not applicable to public and commercial properties, Illinois Administrative Code 845 (Title 77, Chapter I, and Subchapter P, Part 845) defines lead abatement/mitigation as the remediation of a lead hazard so that the lead bearing substance does not pose an immediate health hazard to humans.

Except for those parts pertaining exclusively to housing, the regulations can be used as resource information and methodologies for identifying and abating lead-based paint hazards in Illinois.

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)

USDOT and IDOT require lead-based paint waste to be properly containerized and transported by a licensed waste hauler.

4.0 HAZMAT Survey

4.1 HAZMAT Survey Methodology

HAZMAT material surveys were performed by EDI’s experienced and trained professionals. At a minimum, inspectors performing the hazardous material surveys have completed the OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) initial and subsequent refresher training courses. The hazardous material surveys focused on identifying potentially hazardous materials such as polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing components, mercury-containing components, chemicals and other hazardous and non-hazardous materials that will require special handling and disposal prior to demolition activities that may affect those materials. No physical sampling of any potentially hazardous materials was performed as part of the survey.

EDI’s inspector performed a visual survey for suspect hazardous materials that are regulated under the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations for hazardous waste management in the areas planned for demolition. Suspect hazardous materials were identified, quantified, recorded on a field log, and photographed. The suspect hazardous materials were not sampled, therefore these materials should be presumed to be hazardous until sampling confirms otherwise.

4.2 HAZMAT Survey Results

The visual survey identified the following identified suspect hazardous materials.

Table 3

Material Description Estimated Quantity

Lighting bulbs/ballasts Present Thermostats Present

Potential Silica-based hazards Present Suspect microbial growths Not Present

CFC’s Not present

The suspect hazardous materials were not sampled; therefore, these materials should be presumed to be hazardous until sampling confirms otherwise.

Suspect hazardous materials should be removed, handled, and disposed of in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. EDI recommends that any material that will be impacted by the ADA upgrade be removed prior to renovation.

5.0 Findings and Recommendations

The following is a summary of the findings and recommendations based on the limited hazardous material survey.

5.1 Asbestos Building Survey

ACM Materials

Based on the bulk sample laboratory analysis, the following suspect materials were reported to contain

Brown Vinyl “Sheet Goods” Linoleum

Flooring and Associated Mastic

~2010 LF

At interior perimeter air registers throughout all floors 18,29,39th Tax Court

PC 1.3% - 4.1%

Chrysotile

Drywall Joint Compound ~3,000 SF Throughout 39th Floor Tax Court PC 1.2% Chrysotile

Beige Flex Duct Connection Sealant ~100 SF

Throughout 18,29,39th Tax Court (confirmed on 29th floor)

1.7%-2.2% Chrysotile

*Positive joint compound layer separated from cove base sample collected was insufficient sample size for laboratory QA/QC and may have potentially been contaminated as stated by the laboratory. Three (3) other drywall and joint compound samples collected in the 39th floor tax court space were reported as “negative“ for ACM content.

EDI recognizes that the laboratory reported an insufficient quantity to define the sample per method.

They do report 1.2% chrysotile. Based on other samples at the facility on this floor for similar materials, EDI recommends that this sample be considered consistent and homogeneous with the results of the drywall and joint compound sample results from other areas. The homogeneous sampling materials were composited and analyzed as a total composite material per EPA guidelines with results reported as Trace chrysotile.

Based on previous reports reviewed by EDI, the following suspect materials were reported to contain asbestos greater than 1 percent (>1%) and are thereby regulated as ACM. EDI did not visually identify these materials on the ductwork and flex connectors on the 18th and 39th Floor Tax Court areas accessible during our assessment.

1 – “Pre-Renovation Asbestos-Containing Material – 32nd Floor; OSHA Renovation,” May 8, 2015 report produced by Carnow Conibear, included as Appendix F

Based on applicable regulations cited herein, ACM must be abated, removed, and disposed of by licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to demolition of the building.

EDI recommends that an asbestos project design document be developed in coordination with the demolition documents to define the extent and scope of materials to be included in the abatement, and to define the minimum regulatory standards applicable to the abatement work.

If additional suspect ACMs are identified during the renovation, those materials should be assumed to be positive for asbestos until they can be assessed, sampled, and analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory.

General Services Administration (GSA)

5.2 LBP Building Survey

The following building materials were reported to contain LBP.

Any LBP painted component that remains in place as part of the renovation should be left with paint intact, and waste must be handled and disposed of in accordance with EPA regulations, inclusive of disposal in a construction and demolition (C&D) landfill, provided the waste of said C&D waste passes EPA-required sampling and analysis requirements.

5.3 HAZMAT Building Survey

EDI identified a variety of materials and products during the completion of the HAZMAT survey.

These materials should be removed and disposed of in accordance to applicable rules and regulations, if impacted by planned renovations.

Material Description Estimated Quantity

Lighting bulbs/ballasts Present Thermostats Present

Potential Silica-based hazards Present Suspect microbial growths Not Present

CFC’s Not present

Suspect hazardous materials should be removed, handled, and disposed of in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. EDI recommends that any material that will be impacted by the demolition be removed prior to demolition.

6.0 Limitations

The conclusions of this report are EDI’s professional opinions, based solely upon visual site observations and interpretations of laboratory analyses, as described in this report. The opinions presented herein apply to the site conditions existing at the time of EDI’s investigation and interpretation of current regulations pertaining to asbestos. Therefore, EDI’s opinions and recommendations may not apply to future conditions that may exist at the site, which we have not had the opportunity to evaluate.

It should be noted that conditions change and that materials constantly degrade. All applicable federal, state and local regulations should always be verified prior to any work that will disturb or dislodge materials confirmed, assumed or presumed to contain asbestos.

Limited selective destruction of interior finishes and surfaces was included in the scope of work for the subject property in order to access identifiable concealed spaces, utility chases, and enclosed areas. The university was responsible for any patch and repair of surfaces.

EDI’s assessment was limited to observations, sampling and the analysis of suspect asbestos containing products in accessible portions of the area(s) covered by this survey. Materials in the building that are not considered building materials, are unusual or de minimis, or were inaccessible, due to common construction techniques, to the inspector were excluded from the inspection. As a result, additional asbestos containing building materials may be present in inaccessible areas (e.g. between walls, ceiling spaces enclosed by wallboard, interior of fire doors, etc.) of the structure that were not observed during the survey.

This inspection report is designed to assist exp in the understanding of the regulations regarding asbestos. However, it should not be used as a substitution for obtaining and familiarizing yourself with, including the compliance of, all federal, state, and local regulations prior to the start of any renovation or demolition activity that will disturb or dislodge ACM.

This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of exp, for the specific application to the defined property as addressed in this report. Any additional user of this report shall determine the suitability of the material contained herein for their intended use, and any such user assumes all risks and liability in connection therewith. No claim is made that these findings will remain applicable to future site activities and conditions. Interpretations by any such user from information contained in this report or the drawing of conclusions by any such user from information contained in this report shall be undertaken solely at the risk of said party.

At all times during the performance of the inspection, safety was a priority. Due to the emphasis on safety, there were no injuries, and there were no exposures to either EDI personnel or building occupants.

The survey was conducted in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the environmental profession under similar conditions. No other warranty or guarantee, express or implied, is included or intended in this Report or otherwise.
