*As of April 19, 2022, a general contractor has been awarded. Questions Due Date: Jan 19th 2022, 10:30 AM The Work includes all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies necessary to perform the Scope of Work in the bid documents by the procedures described herein. The Contractor, by submitting a bid for the Work, represents itself as knowledgeable and expert in the performance of the Work, and includes all things usually and customarily necessary to provide a complete and finished job, whether specifically mentioned or not. C. Removal of friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials listed in the bid documents, including pre-cleaning, moving of furnishings, establishing regulated areas, isolating the Work Areas, protection of adjacent areas, containment when required, cleanup and decontamination to the specified clearance levels, proper packaging and disposal of wastes, and all other steps necessary to complete the scope of work. D. Repair or replacement of damaged surfaces, fixtures, or furnishings to restore them to their preexisting condition to the satisfaction of the Architect of Record and the Board Representative. E. When the bid documents include lead and asbestos abatement items in the same spaces, they should be performed in the sequence and combinations that produce the most efficient results, minimize concentrated lead waste volume, and produce the least amount of total waste. That sequence will generally be: 1. Cleanup of lead dust, flakes, chips, and residues most likely to fail a TCLP test. If both lead and asbestos debris are present and mixed together, they may be cleaned up and disposed together. 2. Cleanup and removal of failed or delaminated friable asbestos-containing debris, if any. 3. Removal of friable asbestos materials and cleanup of visible residues. 4. Removal of lead-bearing architectural components. 5. Removal of non-friable asbestos items. If both asbestos and lead are on the same components, for example lead paint and asbestos-containing glazing compound, the components may be removed and disposed with both the lead and asbestos-bearing items intact. 6. Removal of lead-based paint, coatings, or surfacing material. 7. Final cleanup and decontamination of the work space. Final air clearance (asbestos) and wipe samples (lead) may be performed concurrently. 8. When lead and asbestos final decontamination processes are combined, the more stringent cleanup procedures shall apply for both. 9. Waste disposal: a. Hazardous waste: loose paint flakes, chips, and dust; lead-specific cleaning supplies; contaminated soil; combined final decontamination supplies; disposable suits, gloves, head covers, and foot covers; other items that fail a TCLP or other RCRA test. b. Special waste: friable asbestos-containing waste materials and lead-contaminated waste that has passed TCLP or other RCRA tests. c. Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris: lead-bearing architectural components; concrete and lumber with or without tile or mastic attached; demolition debris, and other general wastes. d. All asbestos-containing or lead-bearing wastes, regardless of classification, shall be disposed in a landfill approved by the IEPA to accept asbestos-containing or lead-bearing waste materials.
