Doolittle ES_ LBP Mitigation_Laundry Rm_ 02-28-2023 Environmental Contractors (for abatement jobs only) 99% of work driven by MEC) Pre-Qualified Contractor Opportunities Questions Due Date: Feb 9th 2023, 2:30 PM CST A. The work includes all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies necessary to perform the Scope of Work in the bid documents (refer to Contract Drawings in Appendix C, and Environmental Scope Sheets in Section 02 83 19 for additional details) 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. B. Clean-up of lead-bearing dust, flakes, and residues; abatement of paint, architectural components, substrates, or other lead-bearing items listed in the Bid documents including precleaning, moving of furnishings, establishing regulated areas, isolating the Work Areas, protection of adjacent surfaces, 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. C. Repair or replacement of damaged surfaces, fixtures, or furnishings to restore them to their preexisting condition to the satisfaction of the Board Representative, MEC and school engineer. D. 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 and the least amount of total waste. That sequence will generally be: 1. Cleanup and removal of failed or delaminated friable asbestos-containing debris, if any. 2. Cleanup of lead dust, flakes, chips, and residues. If these lead wastes are mixed with asbestos debris, they must be disposed together as regulated lead waste or asbestos waste depending on TCLP results. 3. Removal of friable asbestos materials and cleanup of visible residues. 4. Removal of architectural components with lead-based paint still adhered, such as wood trim, doors, plaster, drywall, window frames, etc. 5. Removal of non-friable asbestos materials from the exterior. 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 as construction debris as long as both the lead- and asbestos-bearing materials remain 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 work is combined, the more stringent regulations and procedures shall apply for both. 9. Waste disposal: a. Classified waste: loose paint flakes, chips, and dust; lead cleaning and decontamination supplies; combined final decontamination supplies; contaminated soil; disposable suits, gloves, head covers, and foot covers; respirator, vacuum, or negative air machine filters; or other items likely to fail a TCLP or RCRA test. b. Special waste: 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; cleaned poly sheeting from lead projects; concrete and lumber without tile or mastic attached, demolition debris, and other general wastes. d. All asbestos-containing or lead-bearing wastes shall be disposed in a facility permitted to accept asbestos-containing or lead-bearing waste materials. E. Compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, standards, and these specifications. In the case of a conflict, the contractor shall comply with the most stringent. F. All licenses, accreditations, permits, notifications, reports, or other documents required by law, regulation, this specification, or the Bid documents.
