2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: This specification covers the removal and disposal of asbestos materials performed under this contract.

2.1 Work Required: Asbestos containing materials (ACM) present within and upon the structures, materials, and equipment to be altered, demolished, or repaired shall be removed and

18 Page U.S. COST disposed of prior to demolition, alteration, or repair of the structures, materials, and equipment involved.

2.1.1 Locations: Asbestos containing materials shall be removed from the structures, materials, and equipment to be demolished, altered, or repaired, and from all other site locations where directed. Asbestos materials to be removed shall be as identified in the appropriate "Asbestos Sampling Report" provided by the Government or as shown on the drawings or written descriptions which form a part of the construction documents. This shall not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of notifying the Contracting Officer or his representative of the discovery of suspected additional asbestos during the course of contract performance. Upon notification by the Contractor of suspected additional ACM, the Contracting Officer shall be responsible for the verification of existence and extent of additional work. Should the suspected material prove not to be ACM, the Contracting Officer shall so notify the Contractor.

2.1.2 Debris: All debris located within the project limits for asbestos removal and disposal work shall be considered as containing, or having been contaminated with asbestos, and shall be treated, handled, removed and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. Any miscellaneous debris located outside of the requested work area which is determined to contain asbestos shall also be disposed of in accordance with the applicable regulations.

2.1.3 Structures, Materials, and Equipment Surfaces: Interior building surfaces, including supporting structure surfaces or equipment shall be considered as contaminated with asbestos containing dust. Surfaces shall be cleaned in accordance with the regulations prior to demolition, alteration, or repair of the structures, materials, and equipment.

3.0 CONTRACTOR COMPLIANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY:

3.1 Compliance: The Contractor shall perform asbestos removal and disposal operations in compliance with all Federal, State, and Local laws, regulations, standards, codes and these specifications, governing asbestos removal and disposal. Any other work required in conjunction with such removal and disposal shall also comply with all Federal, State, and Local laws, regulations, codes, and these specifications. In the event of a conflict between the requirements of the regulations and the requirements contained in these specifications, the more stringent requirements shall govern.

3.2 Responsibility: It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to visit and investigate the site; review all applicable drawings and specifications; to review all applicable and available "Asbestos Sampling Reports"; to assess the actual amount of asbestos present; and become thoroughly familiar with conditions, and the relative difficulty thereof, which are present and will affect a complete asbestos removal and disposal operation.

3.2.1 The Contractor is responsible for supplying all labor, material, equipment, services, insurances, and all incidentals which are necessary or required to perform the work in accordance with the applicable regulations and these specifications.

3.2.2 The Contractor shall have a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) or his representative at the job site throughout all phases of the work.

4.0 GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY:

4.1 Asbestos Sampling Report: When available, the Contracting Officer or his representative shall provide the Contractor with an Asbestos Sampling Report based on samples

U.S. COST Page 19 taken and analyzed at a testing laboratory. This report shall constitute a representation of what is believed to be a complete identification of the asbestos containing material associated with a facility or site, and be definitive to the degree that the Contractor may use the report to determine initial project requirements. While the report should identify all known asbestos at the facility or site, it is not a certification of total scope identification. The Contractor shall remain responsible for notification to the Contracting Officer of any additional suspected asbestos containing materials discovered during the execution of the Contract.

4.2 Monitoring: The Government may employ a Certified Industrial Hygienist (independent of that required to be employed by the Contractor) to monitor air quality, project procedures, and to help ensure the Contractor is in compliance with applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations.
