2.2. Background. VHA Directive 7714 - This Directive establishes the policy on the identification, management, and control of hazards related to asbestos-containing materials (ACM) at VA facilities. It is the intent of this policy to assist facilities in developing a comprehensive building asbestos survey. This VA policy complies with Title 38 United States Code 7301(b); 29 Code of Federal Regulations: CFR 1910.1001; 29 CFR 1926.101;
40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E; and 40 CFR 61. VHA 7714 mandates to perform an original inspection to determine whether asbestos-containing materials are present and abate the asbestos containing materials and then re-inspect asbestos containing materials every three years. This environmental data collection and data management services will be performed on all the buildings at VA GLAHS (VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System- VA West LOS Angeles, VA Sepulveda, and VA LAACC Facility Buildings). 2.3. Scope. o Contractor shall prepare re-inspection forms for the materials, any prior documentation identified as Asbestos containing materials (ACM)/Asbestos Containing construction materials (ACCM) and prior documentation identified as Lead Base Paints (LBP).
o Contractor shall perform Operations and Maintenance level surveys of interiors of buildings that have not been surveyed, as identified in any prior documentation. These surveys will focus on identifying predominant suspect ACMs/ACCMs and will include sampling of friable and damaged non-friable materials, as well as predominant non-friable materials. All suspect ACMs/ACCMs may not be sampled during surveys.
