outside/past specified project hours, the Contractor shall bear all costs incurred by
Owner/Owners representative.
Where the Owner/Owners representative has an on-site representative, the Contractor
shall give the Owner/Owners representative two hours advance notice of an impending
inspection. Where the Owner/Owners representative does not have an on-site
representative present, then a twenty-four hour advance notice of impending inspection is
required. Contractor shall request in writing via fax or by email required Owner/Owners
representative inspections including the time and date of the requested inspection.
If the visual inspection detects items to be corrected the area will be termed "failed" and
will need to have corrective action taken by the Contractor.
The Contractor must allow for a two hour notice period before the re-inspection of the
failed area may begin (this requirement may be waived by Owner/Owners
representative). Items of work requiring inspection sign-off by Owner/Owners
representative include:
- Pre-Abatement Inspection Removal of asbestos and necessary demolition shall
not take place until Owner/Owners representative has inspected area preparation
work and given approval.

- Final Visual Inspection The area shall not be encapsulated or locked down until
Owner/Owners representative has inspected and given approval of the final
cleaning and area decontamination. The containment must be completely dry,
during the inspection with no water droplets remaining or saturation on
polyethylene sheeting or other surfaces in the containment.
The inspections are listed in the applicable above paragraphs. A punch list of items to be
corrected resulting from the "failed" inspection, will be prepared jointly by the Contractor
and Owner/Owners representative prior to final acceptance of the project by the
Owner/Owners representative. Inspections shall in no way be construed as final or partial
acceptance by Owner/Owners representative. Any failure or omission of the
Owner/Owners representative to notify the Contractor of defective work shall not excuse
Contractor for liability for such defective work.
It will be necessary that the Contractor successfully confine fiber release to the
designated work area and within the containment. Owner/Owners representative
obligations are solely to the Owner. In meeting such obligations Owner/Owners
representative may increase the burdens and expense of the Contractor, his sub-
contractors or employees, or the surety of them. Nothing in the performance of
Owner/Owners representative services in connection with this project implies the
undertaking for the benefit of, or which may be enforced by, the Contractor, his sub-
contractors, or employees, or the surety of any of them. It is not the function of
Owner/Owners representative to specify all of the means by which the Contractor will
attain the intended results, nor to state all of the environmental conditions that must be
present for the safety of workers who are employed to achieve the intended results, or for
the safety of others during construction. The Contractor shall establish means and
environmental conditions that meet all applicable laws and regulations.
The Contractor is required to remove all specified RACMs. Any RACM, debris or
contaminated materials, missed, not accessed or abated thoroughly, and later discovered
by the Owner/Owners representative, will be corrected by the Contractor at no cost to the
Owner/Owners representative.
The Owner/Owners representative will perform final visual inspection for the work area
and Work Area Clearance sampling for the work area. If samples collected within the
work area exceed 0.010 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc), the work area will be deemed
to have failed, and must be re-cleaned and re-tested. Contractor may, on the approval of
the Owner/Owners representative, have the work area re-sampled and the samples
analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) if it will not interfere with the
project schedule. All cost for re-sampling and sample analysis by TEM will be the
responsibility of the Contractor.
The Contractor may be charged for any re-inspections and/or re-sampling of the work
areas at the discretion of the Owner.

2.1.3 Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level (MAAL)
Outside Work Area: If any air sample taken outside of the work area exceeds the CDPHE
maximum allowable asbestos level (MAAL), immediately and automatically stop all work
except corrective action. The Owner/Owners representative will determine the source of the
high reading and so notify the Contractor in writing.
Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level
- Air monitoring shall be conducted during normal occupancy and samples shall
not be collected in an aggressive manner.
- Where PCM is used as the method of analysis the standard is 0.010 f/cc of air
which is equivalent to 10,000 fibers per cubic meter of air (f/m3). The
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 7400 Method
shall be used to analyze samples. The number of samples to be taken shall be
determined by the air monitoring specialist. Where TEM is used as the
method of analysis, the standard is 70 structures per square millimeter
(s/mm2). TEM analysis shall be conducted pursuant to the protocol in 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 763, Appendix A to Subpart E.
- All air monitoring samples collected for MAAL and clearance purposes shall
be performed by the Owners representative who is independent of the
Contractor to avoid possible conflict of interest.
In the event that airborne fiber levels outside a work area exceed the MAAL when
analyzed by PCM (and verified by TEM), the Contractor shall comply with CDPHE
requirements for Major Asbestos Spills (Regulation 8 Section III.T.1). If the high
reading was the result of a failure of work area isolation measures initiate the
following actions:
- Immediately erect critical barriers to isolate the affected area from the balance
of the building and establish a negative pressure differential. Erect critical
barriers at the next existing structural isolation of the involved space (e.g.
ceiling, floor, and wall).
- Decontaminate the affected area.
- Require that respiratory protection be worn in affected area until area is
cleared for re-occupancy.
- Leave critical barriers in place until completion of work and insure that the
operation of the pressure differential system in the area results in a flow of air
from the balance of the building into the affected area.

an ecology and environment company
900055.7978.010 222 LaPorte Ave Work Plan 6
- If the exit from the clean room of the personnel decontamination unit enters
the affected area, establish a decontamination facility consisting of a shower
room and change room at entry point to affected area.
- After certification of visual inspection in the affected area, final clearance air
samples will be taken within the area.
In the event that areas beyond the work area become contaminated with asbestos, or
asbestos-containing dust/debris, and/or visible emissions from the work area, the
Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with cleaning and subsequent
testing (visual inspection, air sampling, and laboratory analysis) of these areas.
If the high reading was the result of other causes, Contractor shall initiate corrective
action as required by the Owner/Owners representative.
Effect on Contract Sum: Complete corrective work with no change in the contract sum if high
airborne fiber counts were caused by Contractors activities. The contract sum and schedule will
be adjusted for additional work caused by high airborne fiber counts beyond the Contractors
control. Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with TEM verification where PCM
samples exceed 0.010 f/cc, and any subsequent cleaning and additional sampling costs regardless
of TEM sample results.
2.2 Regulated Building Materials
The work shall also include the proper removal and disposal or recycling of all regulated building
materials (RBMs) by competent persons trained, knowledgeable and qualified in the proper
procedures for disposal of hazardous and universal waste materials. Contractor shall be responsible
for characterizing the waste and proper disposal.
The following table below provides approximate quantity for each type of RBM identified for
characterization and proper disposal.

regulated building materials identified is included in Appendix B.
3 Special Considerations
Electricity (110 volt) is available at the Site. The Contractor is responsible for all costs related to
providing any rework wiring required. Any rework wiring required must be performed by a
qualified and licensed electrician.
The south parking lot will be used for the placement and storage of waste dumpsters, equipment,
vehicles, and materials.
The staging area for equipment and personnel will be at the closest entrance to the work area or an
area determined by the Owner. Security for any equipment and/or vehicles left on-site is the
responsibility of the Contractor. The Owner will not be responsible for theft or vandalism of
Contractor’s equipment that is left on-site.
The building is scheduled for demolition; protection of interior finishes is not required.
The majority of the interior and exterior components of the structure are painted with lead-based
paint. The Contractor is responsible to comply with all current United States Department of
Labor-Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations for employee
exposure to lead.
A majority of the composite drywall, plaster, window calking, and window glazing in the structure
contain trace amounts (0.25% to 1.0%) asbestos. In addition, there are several ACMs that are non-
RACM and will not be removed, please refer to Figures 4-6. The Contractor is responsible to
comply with all current OSHA regulations for employee exposure to asbestos if these materials
are impacted.
