This is an Addendum 1 to the Invitation for Bid (IFB) 27011 for the Godwin-Virginian Pilot Building Renovation project located at 157 N Main Street, Suffolk, Virginia 23434, issued by the City of Suffolk with project design and management by Woolpert. The project encompasses Phase 2 First Floor Renovation and includes comprehensive asbestos remediation and lead, cadmium, and chromium abatement work. The specification document provides detailed technical requirements for removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) including fire doors, flooring, ceramic and resilient floor tiles, carpet, exterior light well window glazing putty, sealants, HVAC duct mastic, exterior cement ceiling panels, wall cavity waterproofing, and roof flashing. Parallel work requirements include removal and disturbance of lead-based paint surfaces classified as Group 1, 2, and 3 tasks. The contractor must submit comprehensive pre-job submittals including notification to EPA Region III and Virginia Department of Labor and Industry at least 20 days before work commences, employee documentation with medical surveillance and respirator fit test records, worker and supervisor licenses, safety program evidence, air monitoring qualifications, and a detailed Lead Work Plan certified by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH).

Work execution requires strict compliance with 29 CFR 1926.1101 for asbestos and 29 CFR 1926.62, 1926.1126, and 1926.1127 for lead, cadmium, and chromium exposure. For asbestos removal, contractors must establish Class I full containment negative pressure enclosures with continuous 24-hour monitoring and maintain airborne fiber concentrations below 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter for exterior work areas and below 70 structures per square millimeter using TEM analysis for interior areas requiring reoccupancy. All asbestos waste must be disposed of at EPA and state-approved landfills with receipts provided within three days. The Owner will bear costs for initial laboratory clearance testing and final inspections, but the contractor is responsible for all recleaning, resampling, and personal air monitoring costs if limits are exceeded. An Owner's Project Monitor will conduct routine environmental air sampling, visual inspections, and final clearance testing at Owner expense, while the contractor must provide its own compliance monitoring. Post-job submittals include completed manometer readings, sign in/out logs, personal air monitoring results, and landfill waste manifests documenting disposal of all hazardous materials.

B. Amended Water: Water containing a wetting agent or surfactant with a surface tension tested in accordance with ASTM D 1331.

C. Architect: Architectural Firm or any individual employed by the firm providing architectural services for the project.

D. Area Sampling: Sampling of asbestos fiber concentrations within the asbestos control area and outside the asbestos control area which approximates the concentrations of airborne fibers in the theoretical breathing zone but is not actually collected in the breathing zone of an employee.

E. Asbestos: The term asbestos includes chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite and any of these minerals that has been chemically treated or altered. Materials are considered to contain asbestos if the asbestos content is more than one percent of the material by area.

F. Asbestos Control Area: That area where asbestos removal operations are performed which is isolated by physical boundaries to prevent unauthorized entry of personnel and to prevent the spread of asbestos dust, fibers, or debris. Two examples of an asbestos control area are: a full containment and a "glovebag."

G. Asbestos Fibers: Those fibers having an aspect ratio of at least 3:1 and longer than 5 micrometers as determined by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method 7400.

H. Asbestos Permissible Exposure Limit: 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air as an 8-hour time weighted average as defined by 29 CFR 1926.1101 or other federal legislation having legal jurisdiction for the protection of workers health.

I. Background: The ambient airborne asbestos concentration in an uncontaminated area as measured prior to any asbestos hazard abatement efforts. Background concentrations for other (contaminated) areas are measured in similar but asbestos free locations.

J. Class I Asbestos Work: Activities defined by OSHA involving the removal of thermal system insulation

(TSI) and surfacing ACM.

K. Class II Asbestos Work: Activities defined by OSHA involving the removal of ACM which is not thermal system insulation or surfacing material. This includes, but is not limited to, the removal of asbestos- containing wallboard, floor tile and sheeting, roofing and siding shingles, and construction mastic. Certain "incidental" roofing materials such as mastic, flashing and cements when they are still

ASBESTOS REMEDIATION 028200 - 6

intact are excluded from Class II asbestos work. Removal of small amounts of these materials which would fit into a glove bag may be classified as a Class III job.

L. Class III Asbestos Work: Activities defined by OSHA that involve repair and maintenance operations, where ACM, including TSI and surfacing ACM, is likely to be disturbed. Operations may include drilling, abrading, cutting a hole, cable pulling, crawling through tunnels or attics and spaces above the ceiling, where asbestos is actively disturbed or asbestos-containing debris is actively disturbed.

M. Class IV Asbestos Work: Maintenance and custodial construction activities during which employees contact but do not disturb ACM and activities to clean-up dust, waste and debris resulting from Class I, II, and III activities. This may include dusting surfaces where ACM waste and debris and accompanying dust exists and cleaning up loose ACM debris from TSI or surfacing ACM following construction.

N. Clean Room: An uncontaminated area or room which is part of worker decontamination enclosure system, with provisions for storage of worker street clothes and protective equipment. Also known as the

"Change Room."

O. Competent Person: One who is on the work site at the asbestos control area and capable of identifying existing asbestos; chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, tremolite, anthophyllite, or actinolite hazards in the workplace and who has the authority to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them, as specified in 29 CFR 1926.1101. The duties of the competent person include at least the following: establishing the asbestos regulated work area, ensuring its integrity, and controlling entry to and exit from the asbestos regulated work area; supervising any employee exposure monitoring required by the standard; ensuring that all employees working within such an asbestos regulated work area wear the appropriate personal protective equipment, are trained in the use of appropriate methods of exposure control, and use the hygiene facilities and decontamination procedures specified in the standard; and ensuring that engineering controls in use are in proper operating condition and are functioning properly.

P. Contractor: The Contractor is that individual, or entity under contract to the Owner to perform the herein listed work.

Q. Critical Barrier: Seal applied to openings connecting the abatement area with adjacent spaces that will not be included in the containment. Critical barriers shall not be exposed to the gross removal environment.

Examples of openings requiring critical barriers include but are not limited to: HVAC vents and diffusers, doorways, windows, floor, wall, and ceiling penetrations, and air plenums.

R. Curtained Doorway: A device to allow ingress or egress from the room to another while minimizing air movement between the rooms. Two curtained doorways spaced a minimum of three feet apart from an airlock.

S. Decontamination Enclosure System: A series of connected rooms, with airlocks between any two adjacent rooms, for the decontamination of workers or of materials and equipment. Decontamination systems shall be contiguous and adjacent to the enclosed asbestos control area.

T. Duct Tape: Utility grade laminated polyethylene/cloth tape with calendered adhesive system.

U. Encapsulants: Specific materials in various forms used to chemically entrap asbestos fibers in various configurations to prevent these fibers from becoming airborne. There are four types of encapsulants as follows that must comply with performance requirements as specified herein.

V. Removal Encapsulant (can be used as a wetting agent).

W. Bridging Encapsulant (used to provide a tough, durable surface coating to asbestos-containing material).

X. Penetrating Encapsulant (used to penetrate the asbestos-containing material down to substrate, encapsulating all asbestos-containing material down to substrate, encapsulating asbestos fibers).

Y. Lock-Down Encapsulant (used to seal off or "lock-down" minute asbestos fibers left on surfaces, after fine cleaning from which asbestos-containing material has been removed).

Z. Engineer: Individual employed by the Engineering Consulting Firm to design the project.

ASBESTOS REMEDIATION 028200 - 7

AA. Equipment Decontamination Enclosure System: A decontamination system for waste materials and equipment, typically consisting of a designated area of the work area, a washroom, and a holding area with airlocks between any two adjacent rooms. Not to be used for personnel entry/exit.

BB. Friable Asbestos Material: Material that contains more than one percent asbestos that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure or which under normal use or maintenance emits or can be expected to emit asbestos fibers into the air.

CC. HEPA Filter Equipment: High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuum and/or exhaust ventilation equipment with a filter system capable of collecting and retaining asbestos fibers. Filters shall retain 99.97 percent of particles 0.3 microns or larger as indicated in UL 586.

DD. Lockdown: Lockdown is the procedure of applying a protective coating or sealant to a surface from which asbestos-containing material has been removed. Its primary function is to control and minimize airborne asbestos fiber generation that might result from any asbestos-containing residue on the substrate.

EE. Nonfriable Asbestos Material: Material that contains asbestos in which the fibers have been temporarily locked in by a bonding agent, coating, binder, or other material so that the asbestos is well bound and will not normally release asbestos fibers during any appropriate use, handling, storage or transportation. It is understood that asbestos fibers will be released under other conditions such as renovation or removal.

FF. Owner: Individual or representative employed by the Whaleyville Police Department or municipality.

GG. Personnel Decontamination Enclosure System: A decontamination system for personnel, consisting typically of a clean room, a shower room and an equipment room (dirty change room) with airlocks between any two adjacent rooms.
