ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

A Federal Occupational Health (FOH) Contractor Representative Steven Eagels, CIH, performed a limited walk-through Annual Asbestos Visual Surveillance Check as required by the General Services Administration (GSA) for their owned facilities. Bulk or air samples were not collected. Compliance with GSA contract safety and health requirements, listed on the attached checklist, was determined for the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and Custodial contractors. As indicated by GSA instructions, only spaces listed on Table A were visually checked. During the surveillance check, observations of any potential damage to the asbestos-containing materials (ACM) was noted and recorded. If any imminently dangerous conditions had been observed they would have been immediately reported to the FOH Representative, GSA Customer Service Center Manager, and GSA Safety and Environmental Management Branch Representative in accordance with GSA established procedure.

In lieu of providing a hand-written copy of completed GSA Form 3614, GSA Notice of Unsafe/Unhealthful Workplace Conditions, GSA Form 3559, Report for Facility Safety, Health or Fire Protection Survey was completed for any potential deficiencies and emailed to the GSA Building Manager within 24 hours of the conclusion of the inspection.

An opportunity to correct violations, if any, was given to the GSA employee or representative during the inspection. Those violations corrected are noted in the text of the report.

The FOH Contractor Representative used the GSA ACM Checklist for fiscal year 2023, which was approved by GSA for consistency purposes and to ensure the required information was obtained at this facility. The checklist is attached to this report as supporting documentation.

This report is based on personal observations during the surveillance check and from conversations with on-site personnel. Not all possible hazards and conditions may have been identified during this brief inspection, because not all spaces were inspected (per GSA), conditions may be hidden or inaccessible and changes in equipment, regulations, operations, and personnel may not be known at the time of the inspection.

The report contains the following GSA required sections: Building Descriptions, General Findings, Comments and Concerns, Action Items, Form 3559, Corrected Items and Other.

Note: The FOH Contractor Representative designated in this project is an employee of CSS, Inc. which has performed the services indicated in this report. Nothing in this report is intended nor should be interpreted as establishing any form of employment or contractor relationship between the FOH Contractor Representative and General Services Administration, Federal Occupational Health, or any division, agency, or contractor thereof.

Reports and other publications issued by the Environmental Health Services program of the Federal Occupational Health (FOH) were prepared under procedures established by FOH, which were designed to assure the technical competency of the persons or organizations under contract to FOH. In addition, reports and other publications were reviewed internally by one or more FOH technical staff, and all comments were addressed to the satisfaction of the issuing office, prior to dissemination.

I. BUILDING DESCRIPTION

This building is identified as the Claude Pepper Federal Building (GSA Building Number FL0061ZZ) and it is located at 51 Southwest First Avenue, Miami, Florida.

The building is an eighteen-story facility with 16 occupied floors. The 17th floor serves as a machine room and the 18th floor serves as mechanical rooms (penthouse). The building was constructed in 1964 and is approximately 284,737 square feet of area. The building is constructed of steel columns, girders and beams with steel pan, concrete filled floors. The building has a pre-cast concrete exterior of marble and pebble stone placed in grout.

The 1st Floor houses two chillers, one boiler and 2 Air-Handling Units (AHU’s) serving Floors 1-9. The penthouse houses 2 Air-Handling Units (AHU) serving Floor 10-16. The cooling tower is located on the roof. One chiller was installed in July 2001 on the 1st floor. Chilled water is used by the air handlers for cooling purposes and hot water from the boiler is utilized for heating. According to GSA the facility replaced the second chiller, pump condensers and chill water piping during the 1992 renovation. The roofs are built up asphalt with gravel.

A number of renovations have occurred since the original 1986 EMI report. The following report is based on reports and conversations with GSA representatives.

Approximately 3,967 SF of vinyl asbestos floor tiles (VAT) were removed from Room 304A and the Passport Office, in December 1999. Approximately 1398 SF of VAT was removed from the 14th floor in February 2000. VAT in telephone and electrical closets appeared either to have been removed or on most floors covered with new 12 x 12 floor tile. Most of the sprayed-on fireproofing was removed in 1988-1989. Sprayed on material left in the pipe chases and other overspray were partially removed in November 1992 from all 17 floors. However, overspray has been reported to remain in some locations. In February 2004 the old ACM flashing was replaced. In 2012-2013, ACM mastic and floor tile was removed from the 3rd floor south offices and 9th floor offices (900, 914, 916, 918 and 918A). A new roof was installed in 2017.

The 9th and 10th floors are undergoing renovation. The 1st floor Trustee space and the entire 8th floor completed renovation in 2021. Pre-renovation sampling data and abatement documents were reviewed but were limited in scope. Floor tile was removed from the 7th, other materials were not noted in the documents that were available for review.

II. GENERAL FINDINGS

An Annual Visual ACM Surveillance Check of the Claude Pepper Federal Building was conducted by a Contractor Representative of the Federal Occupational Health (FOH), Steven Eagels, CIH. The Annual Visual Surveillance check was conducted on July 18, 2023. John MacDougal, the GSA Building Manager and the Claxton/LTS O&M contractor, Al Mesa, accompanied the FOH Representative.

The Annual Visual ACM Surveillance Spreadsheet, Table A, was utilized from the previous annual visual surveillance report and used to prepare for this surveillance check.

The overall building Risk Assessment Code (RAC) is 3. Significant adverse findings (RAC 1 or 2) were not identified during this surveillance. Four (4) citations were issued of which three (3) are repeat citations. Corrective measures were not implemented during this surveillance survey.

Inaccessible spaces – The following spaces were not accessible during the visual surveillance: Tenant spaces were not inspected. ACM may be inaccessible in pipe chases and under carpeting.

One new asbestos material was identified previous to this survey. The material was reportedly tested positive during the window water intrusion study in 2021. A report was not available for review.

Any additional information obtained by the FOH Contractor Representative during this surveillance check was added to the table. The FOH Contractor Representative did not conduct any asbestos sampling or measure ACM quantities other than noting if ACM was removed since the last surveillance. The FOH Contractor Representative may note suspect materials that were not previously identified or tested and listed them in the spreadsheet (Table A) as suspect with recommendations for testing. Findings are located in the attached table.

All subsequent sampling, inspection results and any new information must be incorporated into the attached table to render it as accurate and usable as possible for future surveillances.

Photographs were taken of the building where possible and are included in the Excel table.

Three attachments are associated with this report: 1) An Annual ACM Visual Surveillance Table, 2) Form 3559.

III. COMMENTS AND CONCERNS

Following is a list of comments and a few notable concerns in conducting the re-surveillance inspections:

• Dull VAT was exposed in the 8th floor electrical and telephone closets. Seal, encapsulate or abate the tile in these areas. Maintain associated documentation onsite.

• Exposed insulation with frayed edges observed during the FY2018 survey in pipe chase in the 12th floor janitor's closet. The panel cover was secured during this survey. Access panels are present in all custodial closets on each floor. It must be assumed that ACM insulation is present in all pipe chases.

Therefore, maintenance activities that require opening a pipe chase must be performed by a trained and properly equipped asbestos professional. To prevent a potential release, the pipe chases were not opened during this survey. However, reportedly the conditions have not changed since the previous survey.

Photo from FY2018 survey

• Moderate deterioration of window caulk was observed on a few of the windows inspected during this survey. Note: Only a random sample of windows were inspected by the FOH representative.

• GSA’s contract has the following nine asbestos O&M requirements: 1) at least one O&M asbestos trained worker/O&M person onsite; 2) annual fit tests; 3) annual medical exams; 4) the EPA “Green Book” on-site; 5) the NIBS O&M book (either available on-site or access to); 6) Asbestos repair equipment on-site; 7) written respirator program; 8) written medical surveillance plan; and 9) written protective equipment plan.

However, according to GSA asbestos policy if the O&M contractor has an arrangement with an asbestos removal firm, then all they have to meet is the 16-hour O&M asbestos training requirement, which they did. The O&M reported that Pilar Services Inc. would perform all repairs and abatement and can respond within 2 hours for emergencies

• The GSA BM had distributed the annual asbestos notification letter providing the current status, condition and location of ACM in the building to the tenants, O&M and custodial contractors.

• The GSA BM had not received annual asbestos refresher training.

• Some outside contractors do not sign in with the O&M Contractor and therefore do not confirm that they are aware of the location and condition status of the building’s ACM.

• Signs were not posted in mechanical rooms where ACM is present. Labels were not present on ACM.

• The custodial staff had completed their annual asbestos awareness training.

• Carpet has been installed over VAT in several spaces. If carpet is adhering (glued) to floor tiles, carpet removal must be considered an abatement project.

• Floor tile (non-ACM) and carpet had been installed over ACM floor tile.

However, removal of non-ACM tile must be considered an abatement project.

• The GSA Building Manager maintains the building documents and reports.

However, the documents are not available in the maintenance office.

• Over spray fire-proofing may remain in the building. Air sampling was last conducted in 2016.

• Changes in the quantity of ACM made during renovation, demolition or general O&M work had not been recorded in the O&M plan and noted in the ACM records. All changes to the quantity, condition, friability, etc. must be recorded immediately in the O&M plan. Each building should have its own records, O&M plan on site and be continuously updated by site personnel. Each facility upon receiving this updated ACM Surveillance Table should check it for accuracy and use it to record all changes in ACM amount, location, condition, etc. This table will be requested during all future checks and audits.

• Not all the TSI could be inspected because it was in pipe chases or above ceilings.

IV. ACTION ITEMS

• All pipe chases must remain sealed. If pipe chases must be opened, abatement procedures must be implemented until the insulation is sampled and analyzed. Ensure O&M contractors do not disturb ACM or PACM without appropriate training and equipment.

• Clean, seal and maintain all VAT and PACM floor tile in good condition.

Alternatively, abate VAT. Sample and analyze PACM floor tile.

• Perform through inspection of building to determine locations of sprayed on fireproofing which remains and abate in accordance with State and Federal regulations. Use caution when access areas where residual spray on material may be present. Determine frequency of air sampling.

• Inspect caulking on all windows, identify deterioration and repair. HEPA vacuum or wet wipe any debris. Work must be performed by trained asbestos workers.

• If carpet tiles are glued to the flooring, the underlying floor tile and mastic should be sampled and analyzed. If the tiles and or mastic are positive for asbestos, the carpet tile should be sampled and analyzed to determine if fibers or mastic is adhering the carpet tiles. Do not remove carpet tiles if they are glued until sampling and analysis is complete.

• GSA Building Manager should continue to distribute asbestos notification letter to tenants, Custodial and O&M Contractors annually.

• Continue to provide asbestos training to GSA Building Manager.

• Require contractors to sign and date a form regarding location and presence of ACM before allowing any contractor to commence work within the building.

This document demonstrates communication between the contractor and GSA regarding ACM and procedures for working around ACM. GSA should ensure that tenants who hire contractors also provide the notification.

• Maintain current records on all removal, sampling, O&M repairs or periodic surveillance activities involving ACM and keep records within the building.

Maintain building records in one master file, which can be used for future inspection and surveillances.

• Any new materials installed during renovation such as, mastic, ceiling tile, drywall mud, etc. are considered as PACM unless a letter is obtained from the construction contractor (PE) and/or architect stating “No asbestos products were installed during this renovation”. If this documentation is not available new materials must be sampled and analyzed for asbestos prior to future renovation, remodeling, and demolition in those areas. Building materials such as roofing products, mastics, vinyl floor tile, drywall mud, etc. may still contain asbestos, especially products obtained from overseas, Mexico or Canada.

• Continue to conduct annual visual surveillance check.

• Require Custodial contractor to annually provide asbestos awareness refresher training and document.

• Require O&M contractor to meet all 9 GSA asbestos related contract requirements.

• All building materials must be considered Suspect ACM and must be sampled and analyzed for asbestos before being disturbed. GSA must perform a pre-renovation check as per the GSA asbestos policy.

• Upon receiving this updated ACM Surveillance Table the GSA Building Manager and Maintenance Inspector should review it for accuracy and use it to record all changes in ACM amount, location, and condition as the renovation continues. It is suggested that this attached Excel spreadsheet, which incorporates older and newer data, be used along with building floor plans to maintain an up-to-date record of asbestos locations and conditions. This table will be requested during all future inspections and audited.

• Label all accessible TSI as ACM or Asbestos Free.

• Suspect material noted in Table A should be sampled and analyzed prior to any additional renovation and/or removal. All material sampled that was positive for asbestos are listed in black print with comments in red (damage) in the attached Excel spreadsheet. Presumed asbestos containing materials (PACM) are noted in blue print.

• All building materials affected by renovations and/or demolition, not previously sampled and analyzed in that specific space, must be sampled and analyzed prior to work commencing or assumed to contain asbestos.

V. 3614’s

1. Repeat - Dull VAT was exposed in the 8th floor electrical and telephone closets. Seal, encapsulate or abate the tile in these areas. Maintain associated documentation onsite.

2. Repeat - Access panels are present in the custodial closets on all floors.

Openings were covered during survey. However, exposed insulation with frayed edges was observed in pipe chases during previous surveys.

Repair/abate/seal exposed damaged TSI. Ensure panels are maintained in place. Access to these spaces must be performed by a trained and equipped abatement company.

3. Repeat - Asbestos danger warning signs were not posted indicating the presence of asbestos. Post a warning sign to the entrance or just inside the door in a visible location where ACM is present.

4. GSA BM does not have current 2 hr. Asbestos Awareness training (required every two years.)

VI. CORRECTED CITATIONS

None.

VII. OTHER

When the facility receives this updated ACM Surveillance Table, they should review it for accuracy and use it to record all changes in ACM amount, location, condition, etc. This table will be requested during all future inspections and will be audited.

When conducting the next visual surveillance, please give the GSA inspector a copy of this report and have them verify all locations. Request that the GSA inspector note any additional suspect ACM. When using the previous Contractor Inspector, request them to use this report and to verify discrepancies between the reports. Require the previous contractor to modify their surveillance report to include the attached spreadsheet. All changes to condition, location, etc. should be made on this standardized report.

The Surveillance Table is to be updated continuously. The table contains three color-highlighted areas that indicate changes in the amount, location or condition of ACM. Red indicates changes in the amount or condition of ACM. Blue denotes “suspect asbestos,” that should be sampled and analyzed before any renovation or demolition occurs. Green indicates that suspect asbestos was determined not to be ACM or that ACM was removed. In the “Condition” column, good implies no or very minor damage (i.e., less than 1 percent), fair implies between 1 and 10 percent overall damage and poor means damage greater than 10 percent overall or 25 percent localized.
