Asbestos abatement and renovation of a multi-residential development in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Completed plans call for the renovation of a multi-residential development.

This project applies to all eight buildings within the development. 23 units are included in the base scope. Within the units identified, the finish floor is to be replaced. In the process of replacing the finish floor, the underlayment will be removed as needed to receive the new flooring and expose any underlying structural deficiencies. The primary cause of these deficiencies have been identified as water and termite damage in certain units. Where damage is most severe, this includes replacement of the subfloor planking and sistering of the joists which have been compromised. The objective is to achieve the required flatness and an improved level condition for each floor. Where this cannot be achieved by replacement of the underlayment alone, cementitious self-leveling underlayment will be required. Scope includes limited wall finishing where framing was exposed during the structural investigation. Some timber beams accessible through the crawlspaces have been identified to receive epoxy repair for checking. Wood blocking under an interior door jamb is included to mitigate defects in the original construction. Scope includes abatement of any 9"x9" asphalt tiles containing asbestos. Bonds: 5% Bid Bond. Set-asides: 3% DVBE.
