The contractor must not allow any pollutant or particulate matter to be released to the atmosphere at levels that are visible from outside of Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). The contractor must not perform work that will release pollutants or particulate matter to the atmosphere when the wind speed exceeds ten miles per hour and will result in adverse effects to the surrounding areas. TYAD will monitor the wind speed; it is the contractor’s responsibility to obtain wind speed information through the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

2. Asbestos

The contractor must ensure that all materials used in the performance of this contract are asbestos-free.

Unless specified in the contract, the contractor must not disturb any existing Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) in the performance of this contract. If ACM, or suspect ACM might be disturbed in performance of this contract, the contractor must avoid coming in contact with the material and immediately notify the COR and the Contract Administrator in writing. The COR must coordinate with EB to have the material tested to determine if there is ACM. If the material is determined to be ACM and the contractor cannot avoid disturbing the material, the COR will notify the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will direct a change pursuant to the contract clauses entitled “Changes” and “Differing Site Conditions.” If ACM, or suspect ACM has been disturbed, the contractor must immediately notify the COR and call the EB. The contractor will shut down and not move any equipment or supplies near the damaged ACM. The contractor will evacuate all non-contaminated contractor personnel from the immediate vicinity. Any contractor personnel thought to be contaminated with asbestos must remain in the area until the EB responds. If the damaged material is determined to be ACM and there is potential for further damage, the Contracting Officer will direct a change pursuant to the clauses of the contract clauses entitled “Changes” and “Differing Site Conditions.”

Asbestos abatement required under the contract as originally awarded must be in accordance with United Facilities Guide Specification 02 83 14 00 10 and as otherwise required in the contract. Asbestos abatement not required under the contract as originally awarded, can be incorporated into the existing contract via contract modification, or by the Government taking responsibility for the asbestos abatement.
