detailed below outlines the required project outcomes. The Contractor shall be responsible for all
necessary work to achieve required outcomes including labor, equipment, tools, personal protective

B. SUMMARY
Various housing quarters at the WRSU Medicine City housing unit complex require ACM
abatement in the kitchen, hall bathroom, hall utility closet, and/or master bedroom bathroom.
The housing unit(s) to be abated shall be identified in each task order.
The sheet vinyl flooring in these rooms contains asbestos containing material (ACM). The
sheet vinyl tile contains homogeneous, nonfriable, nonfibrous chrysotile asbestos with
content between 5-20%. This information was extracted from the 2007 survey report
developed by the U.S. Public Health Service. In multiple rooms, the ACM sheet vinyl tiling
is encapsulated in a second layer of vinyl tiling. Both layers require removal and disposal
during the abatement process.

bathroom (30SF), master bathroom (25SF), and hall utility closet (48SF). The furnace,

arrival of the abatement contractor. The contractor shall remove the top layer of sheet
vinyl tiling then remove the asbestos containing sheet vinyl tile under the upper layer.
See Attachment A for photographs of typical rooms. ACM abatement shall be performed
by appropriately trained and certified personnel. Removed flooring shall be disposed in
accordance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements for asbestos
waste. Following the ACM removal, the contractor shall perform tests to ensure the
abatement process was successful.
