Nonetheless if the Contractor suspects previously unidentified ACMs the Contractor should notify GSA and with GSA's concurrence may test for asbestos. If ACMs are detected GSA will reimburse the Contractor for the direct cost of reasonable testing as agreed when GSA approved the testing, and also GSA will be responsible for any necessary abatement (to be performed by a third party hired by GSA). If no ACMs are detected the Contractor is responsible for testing costs.
