1.13 ASBESTOS (NOV 1993)

1.13.1 WARNING

THE CONTRACTOR IS WARNED THAT EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE ASBESTOS HAS BEEN

ASSOCIATED WITH FOUR DISEASES: LUNG CANCER, CERTAIN GASTROINTESTINAL

CANCERS, PLEURAL OR PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA AND ASBESTOSIS. Studies indicate there are significantly increased health dangers to persons exposed to asbestos who smoke and further, to family members and other persons who become indirectly exposed as a result of the exposed worker bringing asbestos-laden work clothing home to be laundered.

1.13.2 Friable and/or Nonfriable Asbestos

The Contractor is advised that friable and/or nonfriable asbestos containing material has been identified in area(s) where contract work is to be performed. Friable asbestos containing material means any material that contains more than 1 percent asbestos by weight that hand pressure can crumble, pulverize or reduce to powder when dry. Nonfriable asbestos containing materials do not release airborne asbestos fiber during routine handling and end-use. However, excessive fiber concentrations may be produced during uncontrolled abrading, sanding, drilling, cutting, machining, removal, demolition or other similar activities.

1.13.3 Exposure to Airborne Asbestos

Care must be taken to avoid releasing or causing to be released, asbestos fibers into the atmosphere where they may be inhaled or ingested. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set standards at 29 CFR 1926.1101, for exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers, methods of compliance, medical surveillance, housekeeping procedures and other measures that must be taken when working with or around asbestos containing materials which release airborne asbestos fibers at concentrations in excess of those established in 29 CFR 1926.1101. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established standards at CFR 40 Part 61, Subpart M for the control of asbestos emissions to the environment and the handling and disposal of asbestos wastes.

1.13.4 Potential Locations

When contract work activities are carried out in locations where the potential exists for exposure to airborne asbestos fibers as described in paragraph "Friable and/or Nonfriable Asbestos" or where asbestos waste will be generated, the contractor shall assure that all measures necessary to provide effective protection to persons from exposure to asbestos fibers and prevention of contamination to property, materials, supplies, equipment and the internal and external environment are effectively instituted.

1.13.5 Regulation Compliance

As a minimum, the contractor shall comply with the provisions of 29 CFR 1926.1101, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M and 49 CFR 172.101,172.200-204, 172.316, 173; and the District of Columbia implementing hazardous waste regulation that regulates asbestos as a hazardous waste under the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements and any other applicable federal, state or local requirements, including 20 DCMR.

1.14 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

1.14.1 Procedure for Determination

This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance the contract clause entitled "Default: (Fixed Price Construction)". In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the contractor.

1.14.2 Anticipated Adverse Weather Delays

The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY

WORK DAYS BASED ON (5) DAY WORK WEEK

Washington Aqueduct (WA) Facilities, Washington, D.C.

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

4 5 6 7 6 6 6 5 2 5 4 3

1.14.3 Impact

Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the contractor will record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the contractor's scheduled work day. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in paragraph "Anticipated Adverse Weather Delays", above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a contract modification.
