PART I

1. General:

This is a non-personal services contract to provide demolition, asbestos and lead abatement services at Raven Rock Mountain Complex (RRMC). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

RRMC Fire and Emergency Services, the COR, the RRMC PM, and ESH phone numbers shall be posted at the entrance to the work area, as well as the number(s) for any other contractors and/or RRMC occupants who may be affected by work being performed. The SSHO is responsible for ensuring that all personnel working under this SOW are aware of the location of these contact numbers and the nearest phone.

5.1.2.7. In the event that a work area includes abatement of asbestos or lead, the SSHO shall also train all abatement workers in emergency evacuation procedures as specified in the following:

5.1.2.8. For non-life-threatening situations, employees injured or otherwise incapacitated shall be decontaminated following normal procedures, with assistance from other abatement workers operating in the work area, if necessary, before exiting the work area to obtain proper medical treatment.

5.1.2.9. For a life-threatening injury or illness, worker decontamination shall take subordinate priority following measures to stabilize the injured worker have taken place. Other abatement workers operating in the work area, if necessary, will assist in decon procedures. After the injured worker is removed from the containment, all damage to the containment that may have occurred shall be immediately repaired and the Government third party IH will coordinate with ESH to perform applicable sampling to determine if personnel removal or compromises to the containment resulted in any contamination outside of the regulated area.

5.1.2.10. The COR, RRMC PM, and ESH shall be notified immediately of any incident or situation deemed an emergency and/or constituting a potential fiber release. Measures for mitigating the situation must be executed as soon as practical and the Government third party IH shall coordinate with ESH to perform applicable sampling to determine if the incident and subsequent activities resulted in compromise to the regulated area and release or tracking of fibers outside of the regulated area.

5.1.2.11. The contractor is responsible for requesting and coordinating with RRMC to ensure adequate power and water is available to a work area (see section 3.1.3).

5.1.2.12. Provide adequate HEPA-filtered negative air machines with 3-stage filtration. When using an NPE, enough negative air machines (or HEPA vacuums) must be in use to maintain a minimum of -0.02 inches of water column ("WC) negative pressure for the duration of abatement activities, and until all final clearance samples have been collected, analyzed and results reported to and accepted by ESH and the COR. Negative air machines must provide one complete work area air change every fifteen minutes. At least one stand-by (not in use) negative air machine must be set up and ready to be put in service in the event any other unit in service fails. All negative air machine exhaust ducts must consist of fire-retardant polyethylene. The contractor shall dispose of all negative air machine and vacuum filters as asbestos containing waste. Filters may not be changed, under any circumstances, outside of a NPE while operating at RRMC.
