e. Excavation Permits will be good for 30 calendar days from date of issuance. Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining renewals to maintain permit status.

f. Visually survey and verify that all utility markings are consistent with existing appurtenances such as manholes, valve boxes, poles, pedestals, pad-mounted devices, gas meters, etc. prior to any excavation.

g. Hand dig test holes to verify the depth and location of all utilities prior to any mechanical excavation within the limits of work. Other non-damaging methods for utility verification, as indicated in (d) below, may be considered subject to Approval by the Contracting Officer. Also, verify that any abandoned utilities are not active.

h. Preserve all utility markings for the duration of the project to the furthest extent possible.

i. When excavation is performed within 2 feet of any utility line, a non-damaging method of excavation shall be used. The non-damaging method shall be hand digging. Other non-damaging methods, such as soft digging, vacuum excavation, pneumatic hand tools, may be considered subject to approval by the Contracting Officer.

j. Regardless of the type of excavation, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer a minimum of 72 hours prior to any excavation activity. Failure to notify the Contracting Officer can result in the issuance of a "Stop Work" order, which shall not be justification for contract delay or time extension. The Government reserves the right to have personnel present on site during any type of excavation.

k. The Contractor's Quality Control system manager shall ensure that all excavation requirements herein are met at the time of the preparation phase of quality control, and that the excavation procedures are reviewed during the preparatory phase meeting.

1.10 ASBESTOS (JAN 1985 REV NOV 1993)

1.10.1 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.

1.10.2 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. Whether asbestos is friable or nonfriable, care must be taken to avoid releasing or causing to be released, asbestos fibers into the atmosphere where they may be inhaled or ingested.

1.10.3 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" above 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

SECTION 01 14 00 Page 10 effectively instituted. The Contractor shall conduct asbestos-related activities in accordance with Section 02 82 00 ASBESTOS REMEDIATION.

1.10.4 Summarization

The Contractor shall complete and return to the Contracting Officer within 15 working days after the completion of all airborne asbestos monitoring conducted under this contract, a "Summarization of Airborne Asbestos Sampling Results" form provided by the Government. This completed summarization form is to be used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for statistical information purposes and does not relieve the Contractor from his recordkeeping requirements as specified in with Section 02 82 00

ASBESTOS REMEDIATION.

1.10.5 Industrial Hygiene Asbestos Survey

An industrial hygiene asbestos survey was conducted in the contract workarea(s) to identify the presence of asbestos containing materials as described in paragraph "Friable and/or Nonfriable Asbestos" above. The data collected is contained in the following report inserted at the end of this section.

1.10.6 Additional Asbestos Survey

The industrial hygiene asbestos survey described in the above paragraph may not have identified all asbestos containing materials in the contract work area(s). When contract work area(s) appear to have asbestos containing material not identified in the ASBESTOS SURVEY REPORT, the Contractor shall conduct an asbestos survey to identify such material(s) in a manner similar to that described in the ASBESTOS SURVEY REPORT.
