PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

According to the Statement of Architect-Engineer Services (SAES) dated 26 August 2014 provided by Stanley consultants with Attachment 6 only, the project is described as follows:

The AE shall provide Design and Engineering Services in accordance with Reference (a) Basic IQ Contract SAES, Reference (b) DD1391, and all supplementary and/or revised requirements contained in this T.O. SAES, to provide repair of MacDonough Hall.

The general details in the SAES describe the various repairs broken down in the following categories: MacDonough Pool, ATFP, Historic Preservation, Structural, Architectural, Life Safety, Mechanical, and Electrical.

Based on our review of the SAES it appears the repairs will be extensive and involve the entire building. The specific repair scope has not yet been finalized.

The proposed project will prepare a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) construction package consisting of full plans, specifications, detailed cost estimate and other services as requested by this T.O.

BUILDING DESCRIPTION

According to the Facility Assessment and Site Investigation Report prepared by Clark Nexsen in 2014, “MacDonough Hall was originally built to serve as a dry dock facility for the US Naval Academy. The building was extensively renovated in 1982 to provide athletic facilities. The building today encompasses 128, 000 square feet over six floors as shown on the building plans.

The first floor has the largest area and encompasses approximately 49,000 square feet.

The building actually consists of three floors of athletic facilities with the fourth, fifth and sixth “floors” serving as mezzanine and top of stairway spaces. Large mechanical rooms are located on the east and west ends of the fifth floor in the building.

The building is constructed of noncombustible materials such as steel structural members, masonry exterior walls, and concrete floors.

Exposed structural steel members are not provided with fire resistant coatings.

SAMPLING METHODOLOGIES

SUSPECT ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

(ACM)

The AHERA regulation, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 763, is the primary governing regulation when performing asbestos surveys. This regulation was originally enacted for school buildings, but has since been applied to public and commercial buildings by the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act (ASHARA) in 1994 and by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) worker protection regulations in 1995, specifically 29 CFR 1926.1101(k). The demolition of structures is also subject to 40 CFR Part 61 “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants” (NESHAPs).

ACM is specifically addressed in 40 CFR 61 Subpart M “National Emission Standard for Asbestos.”

ACM is generally divided into three primary classifications as follows: (a) Surfacing material, (b) Thermal System Insulation, and (c) Miscellaneous material. These classifications are defined in 40 CFR 763.83 as provided below.

Miscellaneous material means interior building on structural components, structural members or fixtures, such as floor and ceiling tiles, and does not include surfacing material or thermal system insulation.

Surfacing material means material in a school building that is sprayed-on, troweled-on, or

GER

Building 102 United States Naval Academy

Annapolis, Maryland

GER 130-6577

otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes.

Thermal system insulation means material in a school building applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts, or other interior structural components to prevent heat loss or gain, or water condensation, or for other purposes.

The sampling methodologies employed to address the ACM categories described above are as follows:

Surfacing material – An accredited inspector shall collect, in a statistically random manner that is representative of the homogeneous are, bulk samples from each homogeneous area of friable surfacing material that is not assumed to be ACM, and shall collect the samples as follows:

(1) At least three bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is 1,000 SF or less.

(2) At least five bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than 1,000 SF but less than or equal to 5,000 SF.

(3) At least seven bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than 5,000 SF.

Thermal system insulation - An accredited inspector shall collect the samples as follows:

(1) At least three bulk samples, in a random distributed manner from each homogeneous area of thermal system insulation that is not assumed to be ACM.

(2) Collect at least one bulk sample from each homogeneous are of patched thermal system insulation that is not assumed to be ACM if the patched section is less than 6 linear or square feet.

(3) In a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM, collect bulk samples from each insulated mechanical system that is not assumed to be ACM where cement or plaster is used on fittings such as tees, elbows, or valves.

(4) Bulk samples are not required to be collected from any homogeneous area where the accredited inspector has determined that the thermal system insulation is fiberglass, foam glass, rubber, or other non-ACBM.

Miscellaneous material - An accredited inspector shall collect the samples as follows:

(1) In a manner sufficient to determine whether material is ACM or not ACM from each homogeneous area of friable miscellaneous material that is not assumed to be ACM.

Non friable suspected ACBM - An accredited inspector shall collect the samples as follows:

If any homogeneous area of non friable suspected ACBM is not assumed to be ACM, then an accredited inspector shall collect, in a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM, bulk samples from the homogeneous are of non friable suspected ACBM that is not assumed to be ACM.

LEAD BASED PAINT (LBP)

Testing of painted surfaces for lead, cadmium and chromium was conducted by collecting bulk paint chip samples from various painted surfaces. It is important to note that this inspection was not intended to meet the requirements of HUD sampling protocols for lead paint and was not a comprehensive, surface-by-surface evaluation, but rather a screening inspection of major painted components, which may contain LBP.

ANALYTICAL METHODS

SUSPECT ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

(ACM)

Suspect bulk ACM samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) and dispersion staining techniques and transmission electron microscopy. The analytical method was conducted in accordance with Method EPA-600/M4-82-020 and/or EPA 600/R-93/116.

Analysis was performed by EMSL Analytical, Inc., Cinnaminson, NJ NVLAP Lab Code 101048-0, AIHA-LAP, LLC-IHLAP Lab 100194, NYS ELAP

PREVIOUS RENOVATION DRAWING

REVIEW

The most recent major renovation to the building was performed in or about 1983. The project was titled “Rehabilitation of Physical Education

Repair Macdonough Hall, Building 102 GER 130-6577 Page 4

Facilities.” The Construction Contract number was N62477-79-C-0053. The drawing sheet index for the project did not specifically identify any sheets associated with hazardous materials. However, the Mechanical Demolition sheets contained symbols and notes indicating ACM insulation was present on mechanical equipment and or piping. The General Demolition Note on drawing #3028713 (M-1) stated “All pipe & duct insulation shall be removed.

Asbestos insulation shall be removed as specified prior to pipe removal.”

For purposes of this report, we assume the ACM was properly removed and disposed of by the contractor performing the work. We have not been provided with any additional documents to indicate otherwise.

FIELD SURVEY

ASBESTOS BULK SAMPLING

In December of 2014, eighty-three (83) bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected by H.

Nelson Adcock, a Maryland Licensed Asbestos Inspector. Additionally, four (4) bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected by Gayle, Inc., during the roofing inspection and forwarded to us for analysis. Samples were collected from accessible areas throughout the building.

The attached Table 1 is a summary of the sample materials, sample location, and laboratory results.

Laboratory results are contained in Section 2 of this report. Drawings showing the approximate sample locations, are contained in Section 3.

Destructive activities such as breaking into walls, chases, ceilings, or floors were not performed in order to obtain samples. Therefore, if during the demolition process suspect hazardous materials are uncovered, they must be properly addressed.

As the sample results indicate, the following materials were determined to contain asbestos:

Exterior window glazing on the roof.

INACCESSIBLE PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING

During our inspection there were portions of the building that were not accessible for various reasons. We were provided with a building key by Mr. Rich Miranda, Facilities Manager for the building. While the key provided access to many areas of the building, it did not open all locked areas. The list below identifies major areas of the building that were not accessible; however, the list should not be considered to be all inclusive.

1. Tunnel Area Beneath The Swimming Pool - This area appeared to be a confined space and was not entered for safety reasons.

2. Roof Area - The standing seam metal roof was not accessible by our inspector. Special safety requirements were required to be implemented to access the roof. The roof inspection was performed by Gayle Inc. They collected a limited number of bulk samples from the roofing components and provided them to us for analysis.

3. Swimming Pool Balcony - The entrance to the swimming pool balcony was locked at the time of our inspection. The key we were provided di not allow access to this area.

ASBESTOS DISCUSSION

The EPA defines ACM as any material which contains greater than 1% asbestos by weight.

Based on previous hazardous material inspection reports and our current inspection the following categories of ACM were identified in the buildings:

Presumed Friable ACM

Pipe and Fitting Insulation: ACM pipe and fitting insulation was identified on previous renovation drawings. It is presumed these ACM materials were removed in accordance with the drawings. However, as a precaution, we have assumed limited amounts of this ACM may be present in concealed areas. Estimated Quantity

- 2,000 linear feet.

Fire Doors: Fire doors within the building may contain ACM. These doors are generally not labeled as asbestos-containing. Destructive techniques were not used to inspect the doors within the building since that would impair the doors fire protection rating. Estimated Quantity

- 51 each.

Friable ACM

Exterior Roof Window Glazing (2% Chrysotile): Asbestos-containing exterior window glazing exists on the windows located on the roof. This material was in fair condition

Repair Macdonough Hall, Building 102 GER 130-6577 Page 5 at the time of the survey. Estimated Quantity - 4,000 linear feet.

Dark Gray Spray Applied Fireproofing (1%

- 5% Chrysotile): Asbestos-containing dark gray spray applied fireproofing exists on the structural steel above the 2nd floor intramural office according to previous reports. This material was in fair condition at the time of the survey. Estimated Quantity - 1,500 square feet.

Non-Friable ACM

9-inch Green Floor Tile and Mastic (10% - 15% Chrysotile in the tile, <1% Chrysotile in the mastic): Asbestos-containing floor tile and mastic is located on the pool balcony according to previous reports. This material is classified as Category I ACM and was presumed to be in fair condition at the time of the inspection.

Estimated Quantity - 2,400 square feet.

Unit Ventilator Mastic (3% - 10% Chrysotile): Asbestos-containing mastic was associated with the unit ventilators according to previous reports. This material is classified as Category II ACM and was presumed to be in fair condition at the time of the inspection.

Estimated Quantity - 14 units.

Black Mirror Mastic (15% Chrysotile):

Asbestos-containing black mirror mastic was identified in the building according to previous reports. This material is classified as Category II ACM and was presumed to be in fair condition at the time of the inspection.

Estimated Quantity - 1,100 square feet.

Gray/Black Window Glazing (2% Chrysotile): Asbestos-containing gray/black window glazing was identified in the building according to previous reports. This material is classified as Category II ACM and was presumed to be in fair condition at the time of the inspection. Estimated Quantity - 3,000 linear feet.

Materials Containing <1% Asbestos

Exterior Door Frame Sealant - (<1% Chrysotile: This material does not meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) definition of ACM; however, since it does contain asbestos it must still be handled in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1101.

Estimated quantity to be disturbed - 350 LF.

Under the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) all friable ACM must be removed prior to disturbance through either renovation or demolition. No friable ACM which will be disturbed during the renovation project must also be removed.

All asbestos abatement activities should be performed by a Maryland Licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor.

All asbestos abatement work shall be performed in accordance with local, state and Federal regulations including but not limited to:

29CFR1926.1101 - Asbestos.

40CFR61 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants.

COMAR 26.04.07 - Solid Waste Management Regulations

COMAR 26.11.21 - Control of Asbestos

PAINT SAMPLING

As part of the building inspection process ten (10) paint chip samples were collected by GER. The attached Table 2 summarizes the samples collected and their laboratory results. The laboratory analytical results are contained in Section 2. The purpose of our sampling was to obtain representative data on the concentrations of lead, cadmium and chromium in the existing painted surfaces scheduled to be disturbed by the work.

Paint samples were collected from painted surfaces that may be disturbed by the planned renovation work.

PAINT DISCUSSION

There are two frequently used standards to define lead-based paint, the Consumer Product and Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In 1978, the CPSC, acting under the authority of the Consumer Product Safety Act, banned the sale of paint containing more than 0.06% lead by weight to consumers. Paint which contains more than 0.06% lead by weight is defined as Lead-containing paint (LCP). The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines Lead-based paint (LBP) as any paint, varnish, shellac, or other coating that contains lead equal to or greater than

1.0 mg/cm2 as measured by X-ray fluorescence

Repair Macdonough Hall, Building 102 GER 130-6577 Page 6

(XRF) analyzer or laboratory analysis, or 0.5% by weight as measured by laboratory analysis.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62) does not define lead-based paint.

However, to comply with OSHA, all painted surfaces with a lead concentration at or above the laboratory’s minimum detection limit (MDL) should be considered lead containing. Compliance with this standard is required even for paints with less than 0.5% or 0.06% lead by weight. Therefore, painted surfaces exceeding the MDL should not be disturbed without taking the appropriate precautions when performing certain high risk tasks. Activities such as scraping, sanding, welding/torching and disturbance of painted surfaces could potentially release leaded dust. OSHA has categorized the following high risks tasks into three groups:

Group 1: manual demolition manual scraping heat-gun applications power tool cleaning with dust collection system spray paint with lead-based paints

Group 2: lead burning using lead-containing mortar power tool cleaning without dust collection system rivet blasting cleanup activities where dry expendable abrasives are used movement and removal of abrasive blasting enclosures

Group 3: abrasive blasting welding, cutting and burning on steel structures

Analytical results for lead paint indicated that all of the samples collected and analyzed were found to have lead concentrations above the laboratory's minimum detection limit. Four of the ten samples analyzed were determined to be lead-based (>0.5%).

Paints containing cadmium and chromium are often found as protective coatings on structural steel or exterior coatings on metal surfaces. These paints tend to be red, yellow or orange and are typically the first layer. All of the bulk paint chip samples were also tested for cadmium and chromium.

Analytical results for cadmium and chromium indicate that all of the samples analyzed resulted in concentrations above the MDL for cadmium and chromium. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) identifies chromium as a confirmed carcinogen and cadmium as a suspect carcinogen.

Therefore, all existing painted surfaces scheduled for demolition should be considered lead, cadmium and chromium containing for the purposes of complying with 29 CFR 1926.62, 29 CFR 1926.1126 and 29 CFR 1926.1127 in order to protect workers and the environment.

Construction Standards established by OSHA for lead, cadmium and chromium are:

Lead 29 CFR 1926.62 Cadmium 29 CFR 1926.1127 Chromium 29 CRF 1926.1126

The permissible exposure limits (PEL) established by OSHA are 5 ug/m3 for cadmium, 5 ug/m3 for chromium (chromates) and 50 ug/m3 for lead.

The PEL is an airborne measurement to address worker exposure. There is no direct correlation between lead, cadmium, and chromium concentrations in paint and worker exposure. Only when these concentrations are below the laboratory’s MDL, is worker exposure not an issue.

Appropriate precautions should be taken during the disturbance of all painted surfaces to ensure protection of workers and the environment.

All lead, cadmium and chromium paint work shall be performed in accordance with all local, state and Federal regulations to protect workers and the environment, including but not limited to:

29CFR 1926.62 - Lead

29CFR 1926.1126 - Chromium

29CFR 1926.1127 - Cadmium

POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS)

On January 1, 1979, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the manufacturing of light ballasts which contain PCB’s and phased out most PCB uses. Therefore, all light ballasts manufactured prior to January 1, 1979 without “Non-PCB” markings must be considered PCB containing. The EPA’s actions subjects all substances containing over 50 ppm PCBs to regulatory control (with the exception of PCB-contaminated waste oil which is prohibited at any level).

Our field investigation of existing light fixtures indicated there were generally newer fluorescent light fixtures used in the buildings. The T8 fluorescent light fixtures observed in the building contained electronic ballasts. We also observed some older fluorescent light fixtures in the building.

We observed an electrical ballast manufactured by Advance in several of these fluorescent light fixtures. The Advance electrical ballasts were labeled “No PCBs.”

All fluorescent light ballasts, other than electronic ballast and those not marked as “No PCBs” must be considered to contain PCB’s. We recommend assuming that 10% of all light ballasts contain PCB's and all light tubes and lamps are assumed to be mercury containing.

All PCB and mercury containing light tube work shall be performed in accordance with all local, state and Federal regulations to protect workers and the environment, including but not limited to:

40CFR761 - Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution In Commerce, and Use Prohibitions

COMAR 26.04.07 - Maryland Solid Waste Management Regulations.

MERCURY CONTAINING THERMOSTATS

We observed wall mounted thermostats throughout the building. Several of the thermostats were disassembled in order to determine whether the thermostat contained mercury. The wall mounted thermostats we observed appeared to be BI-metallic thermostats. If any mercury containing thermostats are discovered and replaced the mercury containing thermostat should be properly recycled to prevent the release of any mercury.

All mercury containing thermostat work shall be performed in accordance with all local, state and Federal regulations to protect workers and the environment, including but not limited to:

COMAR 26.04.07 - Maryland Solid Waste Management Regulations.
