ASBESTOS ABATEMENT

PART 1 - GENERAL:

1.1 SUMMARY OF THE WORK:

1.1.1 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS:

Drawings, general provision of contract, including general and supplementary conditions and other division 1000 specifications, apply to the work of this section. The contract documents show the work of the contract and related requirements and conditions impacting the project. Related requirements and conditions include applicable codes and regulations, notices and permits, existing site conditions and restrictions on use of the site, requirements for partial owner occupancy during work, coordination with other work and phasing of work. In the event the asbestos abatement contractor discovers an ambiguity or conflict in or between the contract documents and related requirements and codes, that issue must be immediately brought to the attention of the contracting officer for resolution. Any action taken without obtaining such guidance from the contracting officer shall be the sole risk and responsibility of the abatement contractor.

1.1.2 EXTENT OF WORK:

A brief written summary of the extent of the work and non-binding to the contract documents is as follows and is shown on the attached drawings.

A. Below is a brief description of the estimated quantities of asbestos-containing materials to be removed. This data is provided for informational purpose only, and is based on the best information available at the time of specification preparation. Nothing in this section may be interpreted as limiting the scope of work otherwise required by this contract and related documents.

B. Asbestos-containing gutter drain flashing and gutter drain/downspout pipe fitting insulation is to be abated in accordance with New York State Industrial Code Rule 56, OSHA and USEPA regulations. Gutter drain/downspout pipe fittings are insulated with asbestos-containing materials at locations within several of the building attics. Not all gutter drain/downspouts have pipe fittings that are insulated with asbestos.

C. Gutter drain flashing shall include all cements, gaskets, caulks and bedding compounds impacted by the removal and replacement of the gutter drains. The contractor is to remove the gutter drain flashing so that the removal of the existing gutter drain and installation of the new gutter drain and lining does not disturb surrounding asbestos-containing materials.

D. All gutter drain/downspout pipe fitting insulation asbestos abatement within attics shall be performed using glovebags within HEPA-filtered negative air pressure tent enclosures. Tent enclosures shall be erected allowing enough room for workers, equipment and negative air machines.

The tent enclosures shall be braced and supported so that the negative air pressure created by the HEPA-filtered negative air machines does not cause them to collapse throughout the duration of asbestos abatement including clearance air sampling. All gutter drain/downspout pipe fitting insulation asbestos abatement shall be performed within a HEPA-filtered negative pressure tent enclosure. In areas of public access, the entire tent enclosure shall be sheathed with ½ inch fire retardant rigid sheathing for safety. All indoor abatement areas shall have an airlock entrance. In areas of public access the airlock shall be sheathed for safety with a lockable door. The contractor shall construct a decontamination unit in the attic of each building requiring gutter

02 82 11- 6 drain/downspout pipe fitting insulation asbestos abatement.

E. The asbestos abatement contractor shall coordinate the exact location of the removals with the mechanical contractor. The asbestos abatement contractor shall coordinate his work with the mechanical contractor so that the building is not exposed to water damage. The mechanical contractor shall make every effort to perform his work without disturbing asbestos-containing materials.

F. A minimum settling period of two (2) hours shall be observed before clearance air sampling is performed in all indoor work areas. The contractor must allow for a minimum two (2) hour settling period following removal before clearance air testing is performed and twenty-four (24) hours for air sample collection and analysis in all indoor work areas. Additionally, the contractor must allow time to breakdown each tent. Gutter drain work areas shall not require clearance air samples. The gutter drain work areas will be considered abated when there is no visible debris or dust remaining and the VPIH has performed a successful visual inspection. Gutter drain/downspout pipe fitting insulation tents will require clearance air sampling.

F. The location of the remote decontamination unit and waste dumpster shall be mutually agreed upon during the preconstruction meeting by the VAMC and asbestos abatement contractor. Each building shall have its own personal and waste decontamination units located within twenty-five feet (25’) of the building. Decontamination units shall be constructed at the front and rear of each building so that the workers do not have to walk through or around the building to decontaminate.

G. Asbestos abatement shall be coordinated to avoid interruptions to the normal activities of the VAMC and the removal may be scheduled after normal business hours at no additional cost to the VAMC.

H. The entire gutter and adjacent roof shall be considered the asbestos abatement work area. Only NYSDOL certified asbestos workers and authorized visitors shall be permitted in the work area. The asbestos abatement contractor and mechanical contractor must maintain a twenty-five foot (25’) minimum distance when working on the same building.

I. The contractor is required to use either fixed or moveable scaffolding for access to the gutter work areas. Ladders will not be allowed.

J. Mechanical work is to be performed on the drainpipes within the buildings crawl spaces and basements. The drain pipes are not insulated with asbestos in these locations. However, there is asbestos pipe insulation on the steam and domestic water pipes in these areas. It is the VAMC policy to require personal protective equipment including disposable suits, gloves and P100 respirators when working in these areas. The mechanical contractor must understand that the asbestos-containing pipe insulation within the crawl spaces and basements will not be abated as part of this work and incidental contact with the asbestos pipe insulation may occur during the removal and installation of the drain pipes and associated mechanical work. Therefore the contractor shall construct a decontamination unit at the entrance to each buildings crawl space and/or basement where mechanical work is to be performed. Workers are to enter and exit the buildings crawl space and/or basements through this decontamination unit.

K. The mechanical contractor must be a licensed asbestos abatement contractor employing New York State Department of Labor Restricted Asbestos Handler-Allied Trades to perform the mechanical work within the basements and crawl spaces. The mechanical contractor’s employees will utilize a personal decontamination enclosure system that complies with Industrial Code Rule 56 following all work within the basements, crawl spaces and mechanical rooms. The decontamination enclosure shall be constructed contiguous to the work areas. A tape barrier shall be installed at an appropriate distance from the perimeter of the work area

02 82 11- 7 to isolate the work area. Uncertified workers shall be prohibited from all work areas. Workers are to wear personal protective equipment including disposable suits, respirators, gloves, hardhats, and boots during mechanical work within the basements, crawl spaces and mechanical rooms.

L. Removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials and asbestos-contaminated materials is present in the following approximate quantities:

All asbestos-containing materials within the contract limits must be removed and disposed of as asbestos-contaminated waste unless specifically excluded in these specifications or on the drawings.

P. In areas of public access, the contractor shall erect isolation barriers that separate the work areas from the remainder of the building. The barriers shall be constructed of a sheathing material of at least 1/2" thickness. The isolation barrier shall be plasticized with two (2) layers of 6-mil plastic sheeting. The isolation barriers shall be caulked at the sheathing seams and where the sheathing meets the floor, walls and ceiling. The isolation barrier shall be constructed using 2"x4" framing, 16 inches center-to-center, and caulked at all seams.

All utilities and piping shall be locked out and tagged before the contractor is to begin abatement activities.

1.1.3 RELATED WORK:

A. Section 09 96 60 In-Situ Epoxy Coating For Metallic Pipe

B. Section 22 14 00 Facility Storm Drainage

1.1.4 TASKS:

Work can be briefly summarized as follows:

A. Preabatement activities including preabatement meeting, inspection, notification, permits, submittal approvals, preparations, emergency arrangements and standard operating procedures.

B. Abatement activities including removal, encapsulation, enclosure, disposal of contaminated waste, record keeping, security, inspection, and monitoring.

C. Cleaning and decontaminating activities including final inspection and testing and certification of decontamination.

D. Reinsulation activities including reinsulation of all thermal and mechanical insulation removed during the abatement process.

1.1.5 CONTRACTORS USE OF PREMISES:

A. Cooperate fully with the VA's representative to minimize conflicts and

02 82 11- 9 to facilitate the VA's safe and smooth usage of the buildings. Perform the work in accordance with the specifications, drawings, and phasing plan.

B. Use existing facilities in occupied building strictly within the limits shown in contract documents and the approved preabatement plan of action.

1.2 VARIATION IN QUANTITIES:

The quantities and location of ACM indicated on the drawings and the extent of work included in this section are only best estimates which are limited by the physical constraints imposed by occupancy of the buildings. Accordingly minor variations of plus or minus 10% of the estimated quantities of ACM within the limits of containment for abatement are considered as having no impact on contract price and time of this contract. Locations of ACM different than that indicated on the drawings but within the limits of containment are considered as having no impact on contract price and time of this contract.

Where additional asbestos abatement work is required beyond the above variations, the contract price and time will be adjusted under provisions of applicable clause in the contract. Additional or reduced abatement work beyond the variations stated will be a basis for adjustment of the contract price.

1.3 STOP ASBESTOS REMOVAL:

If the contracting officer or his field representative presents a written stop asbestos removal stop all work and initiate fiber reduction activities. Do not resume asbestos removal until authorized in writing by VA. A stop asbestos removal order will be issued at any time VA determines abatement conditions are not within specifications requirements. Stoppage will continue until conditions have been corrected. Standby time and cost required for corrective action is at the contractor`s expense. The occurrence of the following events shall be reported in writing to the VA representative and shall require the contractor to immediately stop asbestos removal and initiate fiber reduction activities.

A. Excessive airborne fibers outside containment area (0.01 f/cc or greater, or levels that are statistically greater than preabatement as determined by Phase Contrast Microscopy utilizing NIOSH 7400 Method).

B. Break in either the primary or secondary containment barriers.

C. Loss of negative air pressure (at or below 0.02 inches of water).

D. Serious worker injury within the containment area which necessitates interruption of the normal decontamination procedures.

E. Presence of a fire and/or safety emergency.

F. Respiratory protection system failure.

G. Power failure.

H. Excessive airborne fibers inside containment area (0.5 f/cc or greater when wet methods are employed).
