Electrical and Instrumentation with associated substation transformers and generator The work consists of furnishing all labor, tools, materials, facilities, equipment, services, required permits and agreements necessary to perform all work required for the removal and disposal of all asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and asbestos-contaminated elements (ACE) contained within the scope of this project. All work shall be conducted by persons knowledgeable, qualified, trained, and licensed in the removal, treatment, handling, and disposal of asbestos-containing material, and the subsequent cleaning of the affected environment, and who comply with Federal, State, and local regulations which mandate work practices, and who are capable of performing the work of this contract. The Contractor shall supply all insurance, licensing, and incidental costs which are necessary or required to perform the work in accordance with all applicable regulations, Trinity River Authority contractor requirements, and these specifications. The Contractor must supply enough supervisors, workers, and equipment to complete this project according to the schedule set forth by the Owner and the Consultant. Freese and Nichols, Inc., on behalf of the Trinity River Authority (TRA) (Owner), has retained the services of Micro Air of Texas, Inc. (Micro Air) as Asbestos Consulting Agency, who shall act as the owner's representative on this project in the capacities of project design and abatement specification preparation. For the purposes of this document, the reference to "Consultant" shall be construed to mean the project administrator and/or his authorized representative(s). The Consultant can delegate one or more Project Manager(s) / Air Monitoring Technician(s), referenced as "Project Manager", to perform the following job tasks during this project: visual inspections prior to abatement occurring, visual inspections during abatement, ambient air sampling throughout the project, enforcement of project specifications and all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and analysis of all collected area and personnel air samples by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM). The Owner and contracted Asbestos Consultant reserve the right to change the requirements of these specifications, if necessary, at any time subsequent to their release with or without notice. If Contractor believes any such changes will materially affect his ability to perform the work for the agreed price, an adjustment in the contract price may be negotiated, at the Owner's option. The following building materials have been identified as asbestos-containing materials (ACM), and they are located in the Chlorine Building. C Category I non-friable 12" x 12" gray marbled floor tile and yellow glue material located in the small storage room next to the restroom. There is approximately 72 square feet of this material. C Category II non-friable black tar sealant located at the base of the concrete walls and concrete slab around the perimeter of the building. This material is located inside and outside the building, and it is possibly a waterproofing / flashing material. There is approximately 350 LF of this material. C Category II seam sealant / caulking located on all interior expansion joints and in the corners of all perimeter walls. There is approximately 200 SF of this material. None of the above asbestos-containing materials are considered to be Regulated ACM (RACM) in their present condition. It is highly unlikely that the black tar sealant and the seam sealant / caulking will be disturbed by any forthcoming renovation work, unless the building perimeter concrete walls are removed. However, if either of the two Category II non-friable ACMs could potentially be disturbed by renovation work, this set of abatement specifications can be used as a guidance document for the removal of the nonfriable materials, if required. It is assumed that the 12" x 12" graymarbled floor tile and yellow glue will be abated as part of the renovation work. The Abatement Contractor will be responsible for the removal and legal disposal of approximately 72 square feet of 12" x 12" gray marbled floor tile and yellow glue. The work includes, but is not limited to: the construction of a temporary enclosures to isolate the work areas, the establishment of negative air pressure within the isolated work areas, the removal of the ACM from the isolated work areas, and the legal disposal of the removed ACM from the facility. The floor tile and yellow glue can be abated utilizing one full negative pressure containment. Mini-containments may be used, iffound necessary by the Consultant, to abate ACM from localized areas. Work will be performed in no more than one regulated area at any one time, unless the Consultant deems it necessary to change this.
