Page 5 RECYCLED PRODUCTS 42 U.S.C. 6962 40 CFR Part 247 Executive Order 12873 Recovered Materials - The contractor agrees to comply with all the requirements of Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 6962), including but not limited to the regulatory provisions of 40 CFR Part 247, and Executive Order 12873, as they apply to the procurement of the items designated in Subpart B of 40 CFR Part 247. DAVIS-BACON ACT 40 USC276a -276a-5 (1995) 29 CFR 5 (1995) The language in this clause is mandated under the DOL regulations at 29 C.F.R.5.5.) (1) Minimum wages - (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employees payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1 321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. (ii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iii) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that Page 6 the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (iv) (A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, Washington, DC 2021 0. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination with 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (1)(iv) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (2) Withholding - The City of Fort Collins shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the Page 7 project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the City of Fort Collins may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and basic records - (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (ii) (A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the City of Fort Collins for transmission to the Federal Transit Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: (1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR part 5 and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3; (3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. Page 8 (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1 001 of title 1 8 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code. (iii The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Federal Transit Administration or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. (4) Apprentices and trainees (i) Apprentices - Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Page 9 Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees - Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal employment opportunity - The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 1 1 246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30. (5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements - The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract. (6) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Federal Transit Administration may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5. (7) Contract termination: debarment - A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. (8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements - All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract. (9) Disputes concerning labor standards - Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such Page 10 disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. (10) Certification of eligibility (i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). (ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages - In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section, in the sum of $ 10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages - The City of Fort Collins shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (2) of this section. (4) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any Page 11 subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in this section. (5) Payrolls and basic records - (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. Section 107 (OSHA): Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (i) The Contractor agrees to comply with section 107 of the Contract t Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, 40 U.S.C. section 333, and applicable DOL regulations, " Safety and Health Regulations for Construction " 29 C.F.R. Part 1926. Among other things, the Contractor agrees that it will not require any laborer or mechanic to work in unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous surroundings or working conditions. (ii) Subcontracts - The Contractor also agrees to include the requirements of this section in each subcontract. The term "subcontract" under this section is considered to refer to a person who agrees to perform any part of the labor or material requirements of a contract for construction, alteration or repair. A person who undertakes to perform a portion of a contract involving the furnishing of supplies or materials will be considered a "subcontractor" under this section if the work in question involves the performance of construction work and is to be performed: (1) directly on or near the construction site, or (2) by the employer for the specific project on a customized basis. Thus, a supplier of materials which will become an integral part of the construction is a "subcontractor' if the supplier fabricates or assembles the goods or materials in question specifically for the construction project and the work involved may be said to be construction activity. If the goods or materials in question are ordinarily sold to other customers from regular inventory, the supplier is not a "subcontractor." The requirements of this section do not apply to contracts or subcontracts for the purchase of supplies or materials or articles normally available on the open market. COPELAND ANTI-KICKBACK ACT 40 U.S.C. 276c (1995) 29 C.F.R. 3 (1995) 29 C.F.R. 5 (1995) 3.1 of the Copeland Act makes it clear that the purpose of the Act is to assist in "the enforcement of Page 12 the minimum wage provisions of the Davis- Bacon Act." In keeping with this intent DOL has included a section on the Copeland Act in the mandatory language of the Davis-Bacon provisions. The language can be found at 5.5(a)(5) of the Davis-Bacon model clauses and reads as follows: NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION TO THIRD PARTIES No Obligation by the Federal Government. (1) The Purchaser and Contractor acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any concurrence by the Federal Government in or approval of the solicitation or award of the underlying contract, absent the express written consent by the Federal Government, the Federal Government is not a party to this contract and shall not be subject to any obligations or liabilities to the Purchaser, Contractor, or any other party (whether or not a party to that contract) pertaining to any matter resulting from the underlying contract. (2) The Contractor agrees to include the above clause in each subcontract financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. It is further agreed that the clause shall not be modified, except to identify the subcontractor who will be subject to its provisions. PROGRAM FRAUD AND FALSE OR FRAUDULENT STATEMENTS AND RELATED ACTS 31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq. 49 CFR Part 31 18 U.S.C. 1001 49 U.S.C. 5307 Program Fraud and False or Fraudulent Statements or Related Acts. (1) The Contractor acknowledges that the provisions of the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986, as amended, 31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq. and U.S. DOT regulations, "Program Fraud Civil Remedies," 49 C.F.R. Part 31, apply to its actions pertaining to this Project. Upon execution of the underlying contract, the Contractor certifies or affirms the truthfulness and accuracy of any statement it has made, it makes, it may make, or causes to be made, pertaining to the underlying contract or the FTA assisted project for which this contract work is being performed. In addition to other penalties that may be applicable, the Contractor further acknowledges that if it makes, or causes to be made, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim, statement, submission, or certification, the Federal Government reserves the right to impose the penalties of the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 on the Contractor to the extent the Federal Government deems appropriate. (2) The Contractor also acknowledges that if it makes, or causes to be made, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim, statement, submission, or certification to the Federal Government under a contract connected with a project that is financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance originally awarded by FTA under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 5307, the Government reserves the right to impose the penalties of 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 49 U.S.C. 5307(n)(1) on the Contractor, to the extent the Federal Government deems appropriate. (3) The Contractor agrees to include the above two clauses in each subcontract financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. It is further agreed that the clauses shall not be modified, except to identify the subcontractor who will be subject to the provisions. Page 13 TERMINATION 49 U.S.C. Part 18 FTA Circular 4220.1 D a.

Termination shall be effected by serving a notice of termination on the contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default. The contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the contract. If it is later determined by the City of Fort Collins that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the City of Fort Collins, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience. c. Opportunity to Cure (General Provision) The City of Fort Collins in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions. If Contractor fails to remedy to the City of Fort Collins' satisfaction the breach or default or any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (1 0) days] after receipt by Contractor or written notice from the City of Fort Collins setting forth the nature of said breach or default, the City of Fort Collins shall have the right to terminate the Contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude the City of Fort Collins from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default. d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that the City of Fort Collins elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by the City of Fort Collins shall not limit the City of Fort Collins's remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract. e.

The Contractor and the City of Fort Collins shall agree on payment for the Preservation and protection of goods. Failure to agree on an amount will be resolved under the Dispute clause. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the City of Fort Collins. g. Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the work or any separable part, with the diligence that will insure its completion within the time specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the City of Fort Collins may terminate this contract for default. The City of Fort Collins shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. In this event, the Recipient may take over the work and compete it by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and plant on the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for any damage to the Recipient resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated. This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Recipient in completing the work. The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor changed with damages under this clause if- 1. the delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: acts of God, acts of the Recipient, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the Recipient, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes; and 2. the contractor, within [1 0] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the City of Fort Collins in writing of the causes of delay. If in the judgment of the City of Fort Collins, the delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The judgment of the City of Fort Collins shall be final and conclusive on the parties, but subject to appeal under the Disputes clauses. If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.

If the termination is for the convenience of the Recipient, the Contracting Officer shall make an Equitable adjustment in the contract price but shall allow no anticipated profit on unperformed services. If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the Recipient may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any additional cost incurred by the Recipient. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient. i. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The City of Fort Collins may terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by serving a notice or termination on the Contractor.

PATENT AND RIGHTS IN DATA 37 CFR Part 401 49 CFR Parts 18 and 19 The FTA patent clause is substantially similar to the text of 49 C.F.R. Part 19, Appendix A, Section 5, but the rights in data clause reflects FTA objectives. For patent rights, FT/k is governed by Federal law and regulation. For data rights, the text on copyrights is insufficient to meet FTA's purposes for awarding research grants. This model clause, with larger rights ,as a standard, is proposed with the understanding that this standard could be modified to FTA's needs. CONTRACTS INVOLVING EXPERIMENTAL, DEVELOPMENTAL, OR RESEARCH WORK. A.

The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar information incidental to contract administration. (2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of the contract to which this Attachment has been added: (a) Except for its own internal use, the Purchaser or Contractor may not publish or reproduce subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Purchaser or Contractor authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the Federal Government, until such time as the Federal Government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an academic institution. (b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. 19.36, the Federal Government reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, for "Federal Government purposes," any subject data or copyright described in subsections (2)(b)l and (2)(b)2 of this clause below.

Without the copyright owner's consent, the Federal Government may not extend its Federal license to any other party. 1. Any subject data developed under that contract, whether or not a copyright has been obtained; and 2. Any rights of copyright purchased by the Purchaser or Contractor using Federal assistance in whole or in part provided by FTA.

(d) Unless prohibited by state law, upon request by the Federal Government, the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Federal Government, its officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official duties against any liability, including costs and expenses, resulting from any willful or intentional violation by the Purchaser or Contractor of proprietary rights, copyrights, or right of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or disposition of any data furnished under that contract. Neither the Purchaser nor the Contractor shall be required to indemnify the Federal Government for any such liability arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the Federal Government. (e) Nothing contained in this clause on rights in data shall imply a license to the Federal Government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the Federal Government under any patent. (f) Data developed by the Purchaser or Contractor and financed entirely without using Federal assistance provided by the Federal Government that has been incorporated into work required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment has been added is exempt from the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause , provided that the Purchaser or Contractor identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of the contract work.

(2) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing, irrespective of the Contractor's status (a large business, small business, state government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution of higher education, individual), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal Government as described in U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R.

Coordinate Owner Inspections All work and material shall be subject to visual inspection by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. The Contractor shall provide reasonable and necessary facilities for such observation and shall render the assistance necessary to permit the Owner to carry out all phases of observation. 1. When required by Owner, the Contractor shall take down or uncover portions of the finished work. If the work thus exposed is satisfactory to Owner, the cost of exposing and restoring the same shall be at the expense of Owner; however, if in opinion of Owner, work is unsatisfactory, all cost and expenses of exposing, removing, retesting, replacing and restoring shall be borne by the Contractor. 2. Any omission or failure on the part of Owner to disapprove or reject any inferior or defective work or material shall not be construed to be an acceptance of any such work or materials. The Contractor shall remove at its own expense any defective work or material rejected by Owner and shall rebuild or replace the same without extra charge to Owner. All retesting of an area for clearance shall be at the Contractor's expense. 3. All inspections shall take place during normal working hours as provided in Section 1.4: Work Schedule. If inspections occur past normal working hours, the Contractor shall bear the costs incurred by Owner as result of the additional labor of Owner. 4. Where the Owner has an on-site representative, the Contractor shall give the Owner two hours advance notice of an impending required inspection. Where the Owner does not have an on-site representative, then a 24-hour advance notice of impending inspection is required. 5. If the inspection detects items to be corrected the area will be termed “failed” and will need to have corrective action taken by the Contractor. 6. The Contractor must allow for a two-hour notice period before the re-inspection of the failed area may begin (this may be waived by Owner). Items of work requiring inspection sign-off by Owner are: a) Pre-Abatement (Area Preparation/Containment) Inspection: Removal of asbestos and necessary demolition shall not take place until Owner or Owner’s Representative has ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-8 inspected area preparation work and given approval. b) Final Visual Inspection: The area shall not be encapsulated or locked down until Owner or Owner’s 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, remains or saturation on polyethylene sheeting or other surfaces in the containment. c) Contractor shall request in writing (via speed memo or fax) required Owner inspections including the time and date of the requested inspection. 7. The inspections are listed in the applicable specification paragraphs. A punch list of items to be corrected resulting from the “failed” inspection, will be prepared jointly by the Contractor and Owner prior to final acceptance of the project by the Owner. Inspections shall in no way be construed as final or partial acceptance by Owner. Any failure or omission of the Owner to notify the Contractor of defective work shall not excuse Contractor for liability for such defective work. 8. It will be necessary that the Contractor successfully confine fiber release to the designated Work Area and within the containment. Owner obligations are solely to Owner. In meeting such obligations, Owner may increase the burdens and expense of the Contractor, his subcontractors or employees, or the surety of them. Nothing in the performance of Owner 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 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 produce the intended results, or for the safety of others during construction. The Contractor shall establish means and environmental conditions that meet applicable laws and regulations. 9. The Contractor is required to remove all specified ACM. Any ACM, debris or contaminated materials, missed, not accessed or not abated thoroughly, and later discovered by the Owner, will be corrected by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner. B. Owner Authority to Stop Work and Require Reassignment/Replacement 1. Owner shall have the authority to stop work. Such work stoppage may occur at any time it is determined by the Owner, Owner’s Representative or other authoritative entity (e.g., federal, state or local regulatory representative) that conditions at the job site are not within the scope of the specifications, or that a health hazard might exist for workers or building occupants. The stoppage of work shall continue until conditions have been corrected. All downtime during the work stoppage will be at the expense of the Contractor. Similarly, the standby time required to correct conditions leading to the work stoppage shall be at the Contractor's expense. 2. Owner reserves the right to require the asbestos Contractor to reassign employees who violate any provisions of the decontamination and work procedures in the specifications, or who are deemed by the Owner to work in a manner which is not consistent with industry standards or health and safety guidelines. 3. In the event that the Contractor's project supervisor or foreman refuses to cooperate with Owner regarding health and safety issues (including issues concerning these technical specifications), Owner reserves the right to require the Contractor to replace the uncooperative individual. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-9 C. Air Monitoring by the Owner Air monitoring may be conducted both outside and inside of the Work Area during the work, prior to the project, and for clearance sampling at the end of the project. 1. Outside of the Work Area: The Owner shall retain the right to sample air outside of the Work Area to detect faults in the Work Area isolation such as: a) Contamination of the building outside of the Work Area with airborne asbestos fibers, b) Failure of filtration or rupture in the differential pressure system and, c) Contamination of air outside the building envelop with airborne asbestos fibers. 2. Inside the Work Area: The Owner shall retain the right to monitor airborne fiber counts in the Work Area. The purpose of this air monitoring is to detect airborne asbestos concentrations, which may challenge the ability of the Work Area isolation procedures to protect the balance of the building or outside of the building from contamination by airborne fibers. D. Work Area Clearance Clearance air sampling shall be conducted by the Owner at the completion of asbestos abatement work is described in Section 01712 Work Area Clearance. E. Personnel air monitoring required by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the responsibility of the Contractor and is not covered in this section. F. Background samples shall be collected by the Owner prior to the start of work activities. PART 2 - PRODUCTS (Not Applicable) PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 WORK SEQUENCE 3.1.2 SEQUENCE OF EVENTS A. This section provides a general summary of the work sequence. Where steps were omitted, the general steps listed below shall apply as the general sequence of events for all phases. Contractor is bound to the conditions within this set of specifications, unless otherwise specified in this section. Owner shall be responsible for the determination of overlapping or unnecessary steps. 1. The Contractor shall install a properly functioning personal decontamination unit and material transfer unit, properly sized for the project, phase or containment in a location best suited for expediting the applicable phase of abatement in the most efficient manner. Both personal decontamination units and waste transfer units shall be attached to full containments. For secondary or mini-containments, personal decontamination units may be constructed remotely in staging area(s) proximate to the Work Area and suitable for regulatory compliance, and shall only be placed after approval of location by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. Personal decontamination units and waste transfer units shall remain in place for the duration of the applicable phase of the project, and shall remain operational until final air clearance sample results have been delivered in writing to the Contractor by the Owner or the Owner’s ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-10 Representative. 2. The Contractor shall then install and initiate negative pressure differential of minus 0.025 inches of water column (as measured by a properly calibrated and zeroed manometer equipped with a strip-chart printout or equivalent) within the Work Area resulting in a minimum four air changes per hour. 3. The Contractor shall then be permitted to pre-clean (using HEPA vacuum and wet-wiping techniques) all remaining surfaces within the space, including, but not limited to, moveable fixtures, non-moveable fixtures, and all other surfaces. Contractor shall then cover all non- asbestos-contaminated or non-asbestos covered fixed objects with a minimum of one layer of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting securely affixed and sealed water-tight with duct tape. 4. Contractor shall then conduct a visual inspection of Work Area pre-cleaning completion to verify compliance with these specifications and regulatory requirements. 5. After all moveable items have been removed from the Work Area, and the area has been pre- cleaned to the satisfaction of the Owner or the Owner’s Representative, the Contractor shall then be permitted to erect primary and secondary containment barriers (installation of a minimum of two layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting on floors, two layers of 4-mil polyethylene sheeting on walls and one layer of 4-mil polyethylene sheeting on ceilings). 6. Once the area has been properly pre-cleaned and sealed, and properly functioning decontamination units (personal and waste transfer) are in place, the Contractor shall ensure that a negative pressure differential of at least minus 0.030 inches of water pressure differential exists within full containment and at least minus 0.025 inches of water pressure differential with secondry containment, with a minimum four air changes per hour. 7. Contractor shall then request a pre-abatement visual inspection from the Owner or Owner’s Representative. The Owner or Owner’s Representative shall then conduct said area preparation pre-abatement visual inspection in accordance with this specification and regulatory requirements. 8. The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling applicable pre-removal inspections by regulatory agencies, before removal may commence. 9. The Contractor shall then lay applicable drop cloths and additional protective sheeting if needed. 10. Upon receiving approval from the Owner or the Owner’s Representative and any applicable regulatory agencies, the Contractor may begin removal of ACM, using appropriate techniques such as wetting, HEPA vacuuming and other appropriate work practices. 11. At a minimum, the Contractor shall use Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) for asbestos removal and cleanup work within the containment. If PAPRs are used, the Contractor must provide initial exposure assessment (IEA) to indicate that higher levels of respiratory protection such as supplied air respirators (SAR) are not required. This exposure documentation must be from similar projects and provide reliable expected values. If documentation is not provided which justifies the lesser protective PAPR, the Contractor must use higher levels of protection such as Type C Pressure Demand Supplied Air Respirators. The Contractor may choose to downgrade respiratory protection only upon submission of three consecutive shifts’ air monitoring results to the Owner or the Owner’s Representative, and these results provide definitive evidence of acceptable levels of airborne fibers within the Work Area. 12. The Contractor shall have at all times two properly functioning sprayers to spray amended water within the containment during the removal process. One shall be a low-pressure ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-11 sprayer suitable for saturating the asbestos-containing material to the substrate. The second shall be an airless type sprayer suitable for misting the air continuously during removal, thus maintaining high humidity and reducing airborne fiber concentrations. 13. At all times a manometer with strip chart recorder or equivalent shall be attached to each containment under abatement and be maintained operational. At all times, a negative pressure differential of negative 0.030 inches of water shall be maintained within full containments (0.025 inches of water within secondary containments). If the negative pressure differential drops to less than the specified minimum, the Contractor shall stop all active abatement activities and begin corrective action. Active abatement may re-commence once negative pressure differential has been re-established and maintained at the specified level for a minimum of two hours after corrective action was completed. 14. Owner or Owner’s Representative is not responsible for the Contractor's OSHA compliance monitoring. The Contractor shall post all air monitoring results on the site within 24-hours after collection of the sample(s). 15. The Contractor shall properly package, seal and label all removed ACWM and asbestos- contaminated materials prior to removal from the contaminated area. The Contractor shall remove all waste materials from the containment area through the waste transfer unit. 16. Once the ACWM (gross material and debris) have been properly packaged, labeled and removed from the Work Area and all substrates properly cleaned, the Contractor shall then begin the first phase of the final cleaning by decontaminating all surfaces within the containment, including the protective sheeting. 17. The first layer of protective sheeting called the "secondary barrier" (the layer that is exposed within the containment) shall be removed by the Contractor after it has been thoroughly cleaned. The Contractor will then begin the second phase of the final cleaning process by cleaning the second layer of protective sheeting called the "primary barrier." Once this layer is properly cleaned, it shall be removed carefully so as not to disturb the isolation barriers called the “critical barriers.” 18. With critical barriers and negative pressure in place, the third phase of final cleaning shall begin. All exposed surfaces including walls and floors shall be cleaned properly. 19. The final visual inspection shall take place, conducted by Owner or the Owner’s Representative, to ensure the area has been cleaned and decontaminated properly with no visible dust and debris. Suspect debris and dust on surfaces within the containment shall be removed per the original Scope of Work. 20. Upon successful completion of the final visual inspection by the Owner or the Owner’s Representative, the Contractor shall then lockdown and encapsulate all unfinished surfaces within the containment including wood joists, walls, and floors, unless the surfaces have been exempted by Owner. If desired, the lockdown can be applied prior to the removal of the primary barriers, thus protecting the walls, floors, and other surfaces. Passing inspections from Owner or Owner’s Representative must precede any lockdown and encapsulating activity. Owner shall then verify the area has been sufficiently encapsulated. 21. Once the area has dried, and the required settling time has elapsed, Owner or Owner’s Representative shall collect final air samples using aggressive techniques 22. The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling applicable final inspections by regulatory agencies, before the critical barriers, decontamination units, and Negative Air Machines (NAMs) are removed. 23. Upon successful completion of the final visual inspection by the Owner or Owner’s ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-12 Representative, final air monitoring, and final visual inspection by regulatory agencies, if applicable, the Contractor shall allow the NAMs to operate until all critical barriers are removed and sealed in disposal bags or other proper ACM waste containers. All temporary barriers (polyethylene sheeting) removed at the conclusion of the abatement shall be disposed of as ACWM as a precautionary measure. As an additional precautionary measure, the Contractor will provide a final cleaning of the area using HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping techniques. 3.2 STOP ACTION LEVELS A. Inside Work Area: The following applies to both personal and area air monitoring conducted within the Work Area. For Secondary Containments maintain an average airborne count in the Work Area of less than the Stop Action Level given below (to protect workers to 0.010 f/cc within the mask) for the type of respiratory protection in use. If the fiber counts rise above this figure for any sample taken, revise work procedures to lower fiber counts. If the Time Weighted Average (TWA) fiber count for any work shift or 8-hour period exceeds the Stop Action Level, stop all work except corrective action, leave pressure differential and air circulation system in operation and notify the Owner. After correcting cause of high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by Owner. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-13 STOP ACTION LEVEL (f/cc) MINIMUM RESPIRATOR REQUIRED PROTECTION FACTOR 0.1 Half-face APR 10 0.5 PAPR 50 1.0 Supplied Air Pressure Demand 100 B. Outside Work Area: If any air sample taken outside of the Work Area exceeds the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level (MAAL), immediately and automatically stop all work except corrective action. The Owner will determine the source of the high reading and so notify the Contractor in writing. 1. Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level a) Air monitoring shall be conducted during abatement activities and samples shall not be collected in an aggressive manner. b) Where Phase Contract Microscopy (PCM) is used as the method of analysis the standard is 0.010 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (f/cc) which is equivalent to 10,000 fibers per cubic meter of air (f/m3). The 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 Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is used as the method of analysis, the standard is 70 structures/millimeter2 (s/mm2). TEM analysis shall be conducted pursuant to the protocol in 40 CFR Part 763, Appendix A to Subpart E (EPA 1995). c) All air monitoring collected for MAAL and Clearance purposes shall be performed by the Owner's representative who is independent of the abatement contractor to avoid possible conflict of interest. 2. In the event that airborne fiber levels outside a Work Area exceed the MAAL when analyzed by PCM (when verified by TEM), the Contractor shall comply with CDPHE requirements for Major Asbestos Spills (Regulation 8 III.C.5.b). If the high reading was the result of a failure of Work Area isolation measures initiate the following actions: a) Immediately erect new critical barriers as set forth in Section 01526 Temporary Containments/Enclosures to isolate the affected area from the balance of the building. Erect Critical Barriers at the next existing structural isolation of the involved space (e.g. wall, ceiling, floor). b) Decontaminate the affected area in accordance with Section 01711 Project Decontamination. c) Require that respiratory protection as set forth in Section 01562 Respiratory Protection is worn in affected area until area is cleared for re-occupancy in accordance with Section 01712 Work Area Clearance. d) Leave critical barriers in place until completion of work and insure that the operation of the pressure differential system in the Work Area results in a flow of air from the balance of the building into the affected area. e) 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 Changing Room as set forth in Section 01563 Decontamination Units at entry point to affected area. f) After certification of visual inspection in the Work Area, remove critical barriers separating the Work Area from the affected area. Final air samples will be taken within ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-14 3. In the event that areas beyond the Work Area become contaminated with asbestos, 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 bulk analysis) of these areas. 4. If the high reading was the result of other causes, initiate corrective action as required by the Owner. C. Effect on Contract Sum: Complete corrective work with no change in the Contract Sum if high airborne fiber counts were caused by Contractor's activities. The Contract Sum and schedule will be adjusted for additional work caused by high airborne fiber counts beyond the Contractor's 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. 3.3 STOP WORK A. If the Owner or Owner’s Representative presents a written stop work order, immediately and automatically conform to that stop work order, while maintaining temporary containments and pressure differential. Do not recommence abatement work until authorized, in writing, by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. B. Immediately initiate the following actions, after being presented with a stop work order immediately: 1. Cease all asbestos removal activities, or any other activities that disturbs ACM. 2. Repair any fallen, ripped or otherwise failed Work Area isolation measures. 3. Maintain in operation all Work Area isolation measures including those required by Sections 01513 Temporary Negative Pressure Differential Ventilation Systems, 01526 Temporary Containments/Enclosures, 01563 Decontamination Units. 4.

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-6 PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ISOLATION A. Isolation: Isolate the Work Area from all adjacent areas or systems of the building with a Pressure Differential that will cause a movement of air from outside to inside at any breach in the physical isolation of the Work Area. B. Relative Pressure in Work Area: Continuously maintain the Work Area at an air pressure that is lower than that in any surrounding space in the building, or at any location in the immediate proximity outside of the building envelope. This pressure differential when measured across any physical or critical barrier must equal or exceed a static pressure of Negative 0.030 inches of water. C. Pressure Differential: Accomplish the pressure differential by exhausting a sufficient number of HEPA filtered fan units from the Work Area. The number of units required will depend on machine characteristics, the seal at barriers, and required air circulation. The number of units will increase with increased make-up air or leaks into the Work Area. Determine the number of units required for pressure isolation by the following procedure: 1. Establish required air flow/movement to ensure that “dead-air” spaces do not exist in the Work Area. 2. Establish required air changes (circulation) and airflow in the Work Area, personnel and equipment decontamination units. 3. Exhaust a sufficient number of units from the Work Area to develop the required pressure differential of negative 0.030 inches of water. 4. The required number of units is the number determined above plus an additional 10 percent or 1 (which ever is greater) for backup purposes. 5. Vent HEPA filtered fan units to outside of building unless authorized in writing by Owner. 6. If air must be exhausted to the interior of the building, air samples will be collected by the Owner’s Health and Safety Representative at least every day to ensure there is no breach in the filtering system. Vent each HEPA filtered fan unit to inlet of second unit. Vent second unit to a controlled area in the building. Ensure that controlled area is isolated from balance of building by critical barriers at all times that units are in operation. 7. Mount units to exhaust directly or through disposable ductwork such as inflatable, disposable plastic ductwork (lengths not greater than 100) and spiral wire-reinforced flex duct (lengths not greater than 50 feet). Arrange so that the length of exhaust duct does not overburden the negative air units. 8. Use only new ductwork except for sheet metal connections and elbows. 9. Use ductwork and fittings of same diameter or larger than discharge connection on fan unit. 10. Arrange exhaust as required to inflate duct to rigidity sufficient to prevent flapping. 11. If direction of discharge from fan unit is not aligned with duct, use sheet metal elbow or spiral wire-reinforced flex duct to change direction. Use a minimum of six feet of spiral wire reinforced flex duct after direction change. D. Isolation of Ductwork: Any duct running through the Work Area that leads to operating HVAC equipment shall be isolated from the Work Area by installing critical barriers. Where possible, ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-7 and as directed by Owner, physically cut and disconnect ductwork outside of the Work Area barriers. Wrap the duct with 6-mil polyethylene. Seal all polyethylene seams with spray glue and duct tape. 3.2 AUXILIARY GENERATOR Where specified in the scope of work, auxiliary gasoline/diesel-powered generator(s) shall be located outside of the building in a location protected from the weather. Install so that the exhaust from the generator does not flow to any building ventilation or supply air intakes. For occupied buildings, arrange so that if a power failure occurs the generator automatically starts and supplies power to a minimum of 50 percent of the HEPA filtered fan units in operation. For work in unoccupied buildings or where the Owner does not require auto- switching, the Contractor shall have access to generator(s) capable of powering a minimum of 50 percent of the minimum required HEPA filtered fan units, in the event of power loss. Where additional power panels are available, power 50 percent of HEPA filtered fan units from a separate power panel. 3.3 AIR CHANGES (CIRCULATION) AND AIR FLOW IN THE WORK AREA A. Air Changes (Circulation): For purposes of this section air circulation refers to either the introduction of outside air to the Work Area or the circulation and cleaning of air within the Work Area. B. Work Area: Air Changes (Circulation) in the Work Area is a minimum requirement intended to help maintain airborne fiber counts at a level that does not significantly challenge the Work Area isolation measures. The Contractor may also use this air circulation as part of the engineering controls in the worker protection program. C. Air Changes (Circulation) Requirements: The airflow volume (cubic meters per minute) exhausted (removed) from the workplace must exceed the amount of makeup air supplied to the containment. Provide a fully operational air circulation system supplying a minimum of 4 air changes per hour. D. Determine Number of Units needed to achieve required air circulation according to the following procedure: 1. Determine the volume in cubic feet of the Work Area by multiplying floor area by ceiling height. Determine total air circulation requirement in cubic feet per minute (CFM) for the Work Area by dividing this volume by 60 and multiplying by the air change rate (4 air changes per minute). Provide fully operational negative pressure systems supplying a minimum of one air change every 15 minutes. In other word, determine total ventilation requirement in cubic feet per minute (cfm) for the Work Area by dividing the room volume by 15 minutes. Volume of Work Area (Cu Ft ) Capacity of Unit with Loaded Filters (CFM) x 10 (4 air changes/hour) = # of units needed 2. Add an additional units as a backup (10 percent or one unit, whichever is greater) for filter loading, equipment failure or machine shutdown for filter changing. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-8 3.4 NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM Pressure differential isolation and air circulation and pressure differential in the Work Area are to be accomplished by an exhaust system as described below. 1. Exhaust all units from the Work Area to meet air circulation requirement of this section. 2. Location of HEPA Filtered Fan Units: Locate fan unit(s) so that makeup air enters Work Area primarily through decontamination facilities and traverses Work Area as much as possible. This may be accomplished by positioning the HEPA filtered fan unit(s) at a maximum distance from the worker access opening or other makeup air sources. Locate fan units and make-up air sources per Project Design or per Plan of Action. 3. The end of the unit or its exhaust duct should be placed through an opening in the plastic barrier or wall covering. Seal plastic around the unit or duct with tape. 4. Vent to Outside of Building, unless authorized in writing by the Owner. Place end of unit or its exhaust duct through an opening in the plastic barrier or wall covering. The plastic around the unit or duct shall then be sealed with tape. 5. Air Handling Unit Exhaust: The exhaust plume from air handling units should be located away from adjacent personnel and intakes for HVAC systems. Contractor is responsible for associated costs with ducting and exhaust installation including removal and reinstallation of windowpanes, etc. 6. Decontamination Units: Arrange Work Area and decontamination units so that the majority of make up air comes through the Decontamination Units. Use either only the personnel Decontamination Unit or only the equipment Decontamination Unit at any one time and seal the other so that make up air passes through unit in use. 7. Supplemental Makeup Air Inlets: Provide supplemental makeup air inlets where required for proper airflow through the Work Area as authorized by the Owner. Additional make- up air shall enter through HEPA filters installed at critical barrier locations. Install to filter air leaving the Work Area (in the case of system failure, resulting is positive pressure). 3.5 AIR CIRCULATION IN DECONTAMINATION UNITS A. Pressure Differential Isolation: It is critical to worker safety that there be movement of air through the decontamination unit from the clean side of the shower toward the Work Area. This movement of air must be adequate to carry away airborne fibers that result from the decontamination and showering process so that the worker is breathing clean air when the respirator is removed. This will typically result in a drafty shower but a safe worker. Continuously maintain the pressure differential required for the Work Area in the: 1. Personnel Decontamination Unit: across the Shower Room with the Equipment Room at a lower pressure than the Clean room. 2. Equipment Decontamination Unit: Across the Holding Room with the Wash Room at a lower pressure than the Clean Room. B. Air Circulation: Continuously maintain air circulation in Decontamination Units at same level as required for Work Area. C. Air Movement: Arrange air circulation through the Personnel Decontamination Unit so that it produces a movement of air from the Clean Room through the Shower Room into the Equipment ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-9 Room. At each opening, the airflow velocity must be sufficient to provide visible indications of air movement into the Work Area. The velocity of airflow within the containment must be adequate to remove airborne contamination from each worker's breathing zone without disturbing the asbestos-containing material on surfaces. 3.6 USE OF THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL AND AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM A. General: Each unit shall be serviced by a dedicated minimum 115V-20A circuit with a GFCI supplied from temporary power supply installed under requirements of Section 01503 Temporary Facilities. Do not use existing branch circuits to power fan units. Power each negative air machine from a separate line or circuit. If at all possible, power some of the units from a separate panel. B. Air Flow Tests: Airflow patterns will be checked before removal operations begin, at least once per operating shift and any time there is a question regarding the integrity of the containment. The primary test for airflow is to trace air currents with smoke tubes or other visual methods. Flow checks are made at each opening and at each doorway to demonstrate that air is being drawn into the containment and at each worker's position to show that air is being drawn away from the worker’s location and toward the HEPA filtration unit. C. Negative Pressure Ventilation: A sufficient quantity of negative pressure ventilation units shall be used, equipped with HEPA filters and operated in accordance with ANSI Z9.2-79 (local exhaust ventilation requirements), EPA guidance document EPA 560/5- 83-002 (Blue Book), and EPA 560/5-85/024 (Purple Book). D. Equipment: Check condition of equipment for each HEPA filtered fan unit and pressure differential monitoring equipment including proper condition and operation of the following: 1. Squareness of HEPA Filter and condition of the seals, and proper operation of Magnehelic gauge 2. Proper operation of all lights, operation of automatic shut down if exhaust is blocked, and alarms 3. Proper operation and calibration of pressure monitoring equipment E. Operation: Verify operation of the pressure differential system including, but not be limited to, the following: 1. Plastic barriers and sheeting move lightly in toward Work Area and curtains of decontamination units move lightly in toward Work Area. 2. There is a noticeable movement of air through the Decontamination Unit. 3. Use smoke tube to demonstrate air movement from Clean Room through Shower Room to Equipment Room. Use smoke tubes to demonstrate a definite motion of air across all areas in which work is to be performed. 4. Use a differential pressure meter or manometer to demonstrate the required pressure differential at barriers separating the Work Area from the balance of the building, equipment, ductwork or outside. 5. Modify the Pressure Differential System as necessary to demonstrate successfully the above. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-10 F. Test: Test negative pressure system by allowing the system at negative 0.030 inches of water to operate 2 hours before any asbestos-containing material is wetted or removed. Demonstrate using strip chart that required negative pressure was maintained during this period. The Owner or Owner’s Representative shall inspect the containment system after the test period to detect any problems. If the system passes inspection, removal may then begin. Use smoke tubes to demonstrate a positive motion of air across all areas. Monitor and record the pressure differential from two points. The recording shall be done through the use of manometers with LED/LCD display (readout) and equipped with properly operating circular or strip chart recorders. Provide adequate paper and pen supplies for recorders. If the containment sustains damage or repairs are made during or after the test period, the containment must be re-tested for 2 hours prior to re- commencing work activities. G. Use of System During Abatement Operations 1. Start fan units before beginning work (before any asbestos-containing material is disturbed). After abatement work has begun, run units continuously to maintain a constant pressure differential and air circulation until decontamination of the Work Area and clearance air sampling is complete. Do not turn off units at the end of the work shift or when abatement operations temporarily stop. Start abatement work at a location farthest from the exhaust units and proceed toward them. 2. After the initial airflow patterns have been checked, the static pressure must be monitored within the containment. At all times a manometer with strip chart recorder or equipment shall be set up and operational. To meet this requirement, the Contractor shall install two functioning manometers in two separate locations, to ensure backup manometer is in place as a contingency for equipment failure. At all times both manometers shall read a minimum negative 0.030 inches of water. If pressure drops below negative 0.030 inches the Contractor shall stop active abatement activities and begin corrective action, active abatement may recommence once negative pressure has maintained -0.030 inches for at least two hours after correction was completed. For projects that have an onsite Owner’s-Representative, submit daily a copy of the 24-hour duration chart from the previous day. For projects that do not have an onsite Owner’s-Representative, submit weekly copies of the 24-hour duration charts from the previous week. 3. Do not shut down air pressure differential system during encapsulating procedures, unless authorized by the Owner in writing. Supply sufficient pre-filters to allow frequent changes. 4. Start abatement work at a location farthest from the fan units and proceed toward them. 5. Corrective Actions: If the manometers or pressure gauges demonstrate a reduction in pressure differential below the required level, work should cease and the reason for the change investigated and appropriate changes made. The airflow patterns should be retested before work begins again. 6. If an electric power failure occurs, immediately stop all abatement work and do not resume until power is restored and negative air units are operating again. 7. If air must be exhausted to the interior of the building, air samples will be taken and analyzed by PCM or any equivalent method approved by the Owner at least every day and must meet the requirements of CDPHE Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level to ensure that there is no breach in the filtering system. In the event that the maximum allowable ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-11 asbestos level is exceeded, all of the requirements of CDPHE Regulation 8 Asbestos Spill Response must be met. 8. At completion of abatement work, allow fan units to run as specified under section 01711, to remove airborne fibers that may have been generated during abatement work and cleanup and to purge the Work Area with clean makeup air. The units may be required to run for a longer time after decontamination, if dry or only partially wetted asbestos material was encountered during any abatement work. H. Dismantling the System: When a final inspection and the results of final air tests indicate that the area has been decontaminated, fan units may be removed from the Work Area. Allow the units to operate until all Critical barriers and pre-filters are removed and sealed in disposal bags. Decontaminate exteriors of machine and seal the intakes to the machine with 6 mil (0.15 mm) polyethylene to prevent environmental contamination from the filters.

The Work Area is a variable of the extent of work of the Contract. It may be a portion of a room, a single room, or a complex of rooms. A "Work Area" is considered contaminated during the work, and must be isolated from the balance of the building within a containment, and decontaminated at the completion of the asbestos control work. A. Isolation: Completely isolate the Work Area from other parts of the building so as to prevent asbestos-containing dust or debris from passing beyond the isolated area. Should the area beyond the Work Area(s) become contaminated with asbestos-containing dust or debris as a consequence of the work, clean those areas in accordance with the procedures indicated in Section 01711 Project Decontamination. Perform all such required cleaning or decontamination at no additional cost to Owner. 1. Prior to beginning pre-cleaning and area preparation, establish Critical Barriers and appropriate decontamination facilities, install negative pressure ventilation units and initiate negative pressure within the Work Area. Seal off all windows, doorways, elevator openings, corridor entrances, drains, ducts, grills, grates, diffusers, skylights and any other openings between the Work Area with a minimum of two (2) layers of six (6) mil polyethylene sheeting and tape. 2. Post appropriate signs meeting the specifications of OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 at all outside entrances to air locks. Signs shall be posted at a distance sufficiently far enough away from the Work Area to permit an employee to read the sign and take the necessary ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-4 protective measures to avoid exposure. Additional signs may need to be posted following construction of work place containment barriers. C. Disabling HVAC Systems: The power to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that service the regulated area must be deactivated and locked out. All ducts, grills, access ports, windows and vents must be sealed off with two layers of plastic to prevent re- entrainment of contaminated air. D. Pre-Cleaning and Removing Movable Objects: Clean movable objects and remove them from the Work Area before a containment is constructed unless moving the objects creates a hazard. Moveable objects will be assumed to be asbestos contaminated and are to be either both cleaned with amended water and a HEPA vacuum, and then removed from the area or wrapped and then disposed of as asbestos-contaminated waste material (ACWM). The following describes the protocol for moveable objects: 1. Preclean all movable objects within the Work Area using HEPA filtered vacuums and/or wet cleaning methods as appropriate. After cleaning, these objects shall be removed from the Work Area and carefully stored in an uncontaminated location. Dispose of all debris, filters, rags, mop head and other cleaning wastes as ACWM in sealed leak-tight containers. 3. Preclean all fixed objects in the Work Area using HEPA filtered vacuums and/or wet cleaning techniques as appropriate. Careful attention must be paid to machinery behind grills or gratings where access may be difficult but contamination can be significant. Also, pay particular attention to wall, floor and ceiling penetrations behind fixed items. After pre-cleaning, completely seal fixed objects within a minimum of two (2) layers of six (6) mil polyethylene sheeting and seal securely in place with tape. 4. Permanent fixtures, shelves, electronic equipment, laboratory tables, sprinklers, alarm systems, closed circuit TV equipment and computer cables that must remain in the Work Area and that require special ventilation or containment requirements shall be designated at the pre-bid meeting along with specified means of protection. Control panels, gauges etc. in the Work Area may require Owner access during abatement. These shall be designated at the pre-bid meeting and special enclosures constructed with access flags sealed with waterproof tape. Dispose of all debris, filters, rags, mop head and other cleaning wastes as ACWM in sealed leak-tight containers. 5. Preclean all surfaces in the Work Area using HEPA filtered vacuums and/or wet cleaning methods as appropriate. Do not use any methods that would raise dust such as dry sweeping or vacuuming with equipment not equipped with HEPA filters. Do not disturb asbestos containing materials during the pre-cleaning phase. Dispose of all debris, filters, rags, mop head and other cleaning wastes as ACWM in sealed leak-tight containers. E. Containments: Construct containments to provide an airtight seal around ducts and openings into existing ventilation systems and around penetrations for electrical conduits, telephone wires, water lines, drain pipes, etc. Construct containments to be both airtight and watertight except for those openings designed to provide entry and/or air flow control. Unless spray-poly is specified or authorized, use sheet plastic for constructing containments. 1. Polyethylene sheeting for floors, stationary objects and Critical Barriers shall be a minimum of 6-mil thick. Use a minimum of two layers of 6-mil thickness in widths selected to minimize the number of joints. Joints shall be staggered. Walls shall be ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-5 covered with a minimum of two layers of 4-mil polyethylene with staggered joints. Wall layers shall cover floor layers that are run 24" up the wall, (unless spray-poly is used). If a containment area has a ceiling that will not be abated as part of the abatement work, at a minimum, the ceiling shall be covered with sheeting that shall consist of one layer of four (4) mil or thicker polyethylene, unless spray poly is used. It shall be installed to minimize seams and shall extend beyond wall/ceiling joints at least twelve (12) inches. No seams shall be located along wall/ceiling joints. 2. Method of attaching polyethylene sheeting shall be agreed upon in advance by the Contractor and Owner or Owner’s Representative and selected to minimize damage to equipment and surfaces. Method of attachment may include any combination of duct tape or other waterproof tape, furring strips, spray glue, staples, nails, screws or other effective procedures capable of sealing adjacent sheets of polyethylene and capable of sealing polyethylene to dissimilar finished or unfinished surfaces under both wet and dry conditions. 3. Polyethylene sheeting utilized for worker decontamination containment shall be opaque white or black in color. 4. Floors, stationary objects and critical barriers will be covered with a minimum of two layers of 6-mil minimum sheeting. Floors requiring special protection shall be specified at the pre-bid meeting. Carpeting, hardwood flooring and tile floors may be damaged by falling material, water leaks, ladder feet, scaffold wheels, etc. Additional layers of protection such as plywood, canvas drop cloths or extra plastic sheeting may be required by the Owner. Additional layers of sheeting may be utilized as drop cloths to aid in cleanup of bulk materials. Plastic shall be sized to minimize seams. If the floor area necessitates seams, those on successive layers of sheeting shall be staggered to reduce the potential for water to penetrate to the flooring material. A distance of at least 6 feet between seams is sufficient. DO NOT locate any seams at wall/floor joints. Floor sheeting shall extend at least 24 inches up the sidewalls of the Work Area. Sheeting shall be installed in a fashion so as to prevent slippage between successive layers of material. 5. Cover walls in the Work Area with polyethylene sheeting. Openings through walls to uncontaminated areas of the building must be sealed. Walls will be covered with a minimum of two layers of 4-mil polyethylene sheeting. Plastic shall be sized to minimize seams. Seams shall be staggered and separated by a distance of at least 6 feet. Wall sheeting shall overlap floor sheeting by at least 24 inches beyond the wall/floor joint to provide a better seal against water damage and for negative pressure. 6. Wall sheeting shall be secured adequately to prevent it from falling away from the walls. 7. If the containment area has a ceiling that will not be abated as part of the abatement work, at a minimum, the ceiling area shall be covered with polyethylene sheeting that shall consist of one (1) layer of four (4) mil or thicker polyethylene sheeting. It shall be installed to minimize seams and shall extend beyond wall/ceiling joints at least 12 inches. No seams shall be located along wall/ceiling joints. F. Size: Construct containment with sufficient volume to encompass all of the working surfaces yet allow unencumbered movement by the worker(s), provide unrestricted air flow past the worker(s), and ensure walking surfaces can be kept free of tripping hazards. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-6 G. Shape: The containment may be any shape that optimizes the flow of ventilation air past the worker(s). H. Structural Integrity: The walls, ceilings and floors must be supported in such a manner that portions of the containment will not fall down during normal use. I. Barrier Supports: Provide frames as necessary to support all unsupported spans of sheeting. J. Openings: It is not necessary that the structure be airtight; openings may be designed to direct airflow. Such openings are to be located at a distance from active removal operations. They are to be designed to draw air into the containment under all anticipated circumstances. Such openings must be fitted with either HEPA filters to trap dust or automatic trap doors that prevent dust from escaping the containment in the event that negative pressure is lost. Openings for exits are to be controlled by an airlock or a vestibule. K. Tools: Place all tools, scaffolding, staging, etc. necessary for the work in the area to be isolated prior to completion of Work Area isolation. L. Areas Within a Containment: Each containment consists of a Work Area, a decontamination containment system, and waste load-out area. The Work Area where the asbestos removal operations occur are to be separated from both the decontamination containment system, and waste load-out area by physical curtains, doors, and/or airflow patterns that force any airborne contamination back into the Work Area. M. Inspection Windows: Install inspection windows in locations shown on the plans or as directed by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. Each inspection window is to have a minimum of a 12- inch x12 inch viewing area fabricated from ¼-inch acrylic or polycarbonate sheet (plexiglass). Install window in a manner that provides unobstructed vision from outside to inside of the Work Area. Protect windows from damage from scratching, dirt or any coatings used during the work. A sufficient number of windows are to be installed to provide observation of all portions of the Work Area that can be made visible from adjacent areas. Inspection windows that open into uncontrolled area are to be covered with a removable plywood hatch secured by lock and hasp. Provide keys to the Owner for all such locks. 3.3 EMERGENCY EXITS Provide emergency exits and emergency lighting as set forth below: A. Emergency Exits: At each existing exit door from the Work Area provide the following means for emergency exiting: 1. Arrange exit door so that it is secure from outside the Work Area but permits exiting from the Work Area. 2. Mark outline of door on Primary and Critical Barriers with luminescent paint at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide. Hang a razor knife on a string beside outline.

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION 01562-9 3.3 TYPE OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTION REQUIRED: A. General: After reducing airborne asbestos levels to the lowest feasible level with engineering controls and work practices, provide respiratory protection as necessary to ensure that workers are not exposed to concentrations in excess of 0.010 f/cc within the mask of the respirator. The Contractor shall provide adequate respiratory protection against sealants, adhesives, solvents, and other hazardous materials that may be encountered by personnel. B. Level of Respiratory Protection: Determine the proper level of respiratory protection by dividing the expected or actual airborne fiber count in the Work Area by the "protection factors" given below. The level of respiratory protection which supplies an airborne fiber level inside the respirator, at the breathing zone of the wearer, at or below 0.010 f/cc within the mask of the respirator is the minimum level of protection allowed. C. Specific Respiratory Protection Requirements: Provide respiratory protection as indicated below as a minimum requirement: 1. Half-mask Negative Pressure Air-Purifying Respirators: Provide half-mask negative pressure air-purifying respirators during pre-cleaning activities, and final cleaning activities, and any preparation activity where workers are in close proximity to or in contact with asbestos-containing materials or asbestos contaminated materials, or potential for exposure to chemicals such as spray adhesive and solvents, or other activities where there has been an “Initial Exposure Assessment” that has determined that airborne asbestos fiber levels will not exceed 0.10 fiber per cubic centimeter (0.10 f/cc). Provide a PAPR where a half-mask negative pressure air-purifying respirator is allowed to any worker who so requests. Upgrading is to be determined by the Contractor's OSHA compliance exposure air monitoring. 2. Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR): Provide PAPR during removal of friable asbestos-containing material or other activity where there has been an “Initial Exposure Assessment” that has determined that airborne asbestos fiber levels will not exceed 1.0 fiber per cubic centimeter (1.0 f/cc). Upgrading and downgrading to be determined by the Contractor's OSHA compliance exposure air monitoring. 3. Type "C" Supplied-air Respirators: Full facepiece pressure demand supplied air respirators are to be used by all workers engaged in the removal of thermal system insulation (TSI) or surfacing materials, or demolition of pipes, structures, or equipment covered or insulated with asbestos, or in the removal or demolition of asbestos insulation or coverings, or any other activity which results in or may result in airborne asbestos fiber levels above 1.0 fibers per cubic centimeter (1.0 f/cc). OSHA requires the use of supplied air respirators in certain situations where there is a potential exposure to elevated levels of asbestos or there is not any past data showing the expected levels. However EPA and NIOSH recommend their use in situations where there is exposure or potential exposure to airborne asbestos. Provide a full facepiece supplied air respirator operated in the pressure demand mode equipped with an auxiliary positive pressure SCBA for all workers within a regulated area where Class I work is being performed and for which an initial exposure assessment has not been produced and the exposure levels may exceed 1 f/cc as an 8-hour TWA. After an initial ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION 01562-10 exposure assessment is made, use the level of respiratory protection required by that assessment and requirements of this specification and the OSHA Asbestos Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.1101.

After the surfaces have passed a Contractor visual inspection verifying that all debris and residue has been removed from the sheet plastic, remove outer layer of protective sheeting (secondary barriers), dispose as ACWM, then proceed with second cleaning. 3.3 SECOND CLEANING A. Carry out a second cleaning of all surfaces in the Work Area in the same manner as the first cleaning. B. Before the application of any sealer to abated surfaces as a lock-down, perform a visual inspection to determine if all ACM including debris and residue has been removed. If lock-down is to be applied during second cleaning, Owner’s Representative will first conduct preliminary visual inspection of substrate. When the area is visually clean and no debris, residue, dust or other material is found by Contractor or Owner’s Representative, lock-down sealants can be applied and the Work Area decontamination process can continue. C. Perform encapsulation of substrate or installation of spray-applied finishes or fireproofing, where required, at this time. Maintain Pressure Differential System in operation during encapsulation work. Perform work only after ensuring that surfaces to be covered with sealer have met the requirements for a visual inspection in this section and Section 01712 Work Area Clearance. D. Removal of Primary Barriers Perform additional cleaning as necessary after application of lock-down or re-spray material. After lock-down or other applied material has dried and/or cured, remove the remaining layer of protective sheeting (Primary Barriers), leaving only: a. Critical Barrier: Which forms the sole barrier between the Work Area and other portions of the building or the outside and other openings. b. Decontamination Units: Maintain in operating condition. c. Pressure Differential System: Maintain in continuous operation. 3.4 FINAL CLEANING A. Final cleaning: Carry out a final cleaning of all surfaces in the Work Area in the same manner as the first cleaning. This cleaning is now being applied to existing room surfaces.

This section covers the clearance to be conducted by a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) certified Air Monitoring Specialist (AMS) who is to be contracted by the Owner. 1.3 CLEARANCE AIR SAMPLING BY THE OWNER: A. To determine if the elevated airborne asbestos structure concentration encountered during abatement operations has been reduced to the specified level; the Owner’s AMS will secure samples and analyze them according to the following procedures. 1. Aggressive sampling procedures as described below will be followed. 2. PCM samples will be secured as indicated below. B. Following the completion of project decontamination operations, the Contractor shall notify the Owner or Owner's Representative that the Work Area is ready for visual inspection and clearance air monitoring. If Owner or Owner's Representative is not on-site full-time, then a 24-hour notification period is required for the initial inspection. If Owner or Owner's Representative is on-site full-time, then a 2 hour notification period is required for the initial inspection. At conclusion of the abatement action with only critical barriers still in place, an AMS under the direction of Owner shall visually inspect each Work Area and determine whether all dust and debris has been removed. If any such dust or debris is found, the area shall be re-cleaned until no dust or debris is found. If a critical barrier is removed for cleaning purposes, the area behind the critical barrier shall be cleaned and the critical barrier immediately replaced. C. Prior to final clearance air sampling the AMS shall inspect the containment to determine whether the area has dried. Final air clearance samples will not be collected until the lockdown/encapsulant has completely dried and a sufficient settling period has elapsed, as determined by the AMS. The AMS will then sample the air in the Work Area for airborne fiber concentrations for analysis under PCM. Allow 24 hours for sample collection and reporting of results by the AMS. D. The AMS shall collect air samples using aggressive techniques as described in 40 CFR Part 763 Appendix A. This shall be aggressive sampling using portable fans and leaf blowers, to keep the Work Area atmosphere in a turbulent state, except that leaf blowers shall not be directed toward ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 WORK AREA CLEARANCE 01712-2 any known friable ACM remaining in the Work Area. The air sampling shall be conducted using sampling pumps that are correctly calibrated. Workers performing the aggressive procedures and sampling will remain in appropriate protective clothing and respirators at all times. Stationary fans shall be placed in locations where they will not interfere with air monitoring equipment. Fans shall be directed towards removed/abated surfaces. One fan shall be used for each 10,000 cubic feet of workspace. All surfaces in the workspace will be swept with the leaf blower. The number of clearance samples collected shall be in accordance with the regulatory requirements. E. The Owner will arrange and pay for collection of the first set of air samples and analysis by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM). If the first set of air samples (PCM) fail to meet the regulatory standards, the Contractor will be responsible for the cost of additional sampling (subsequent set of clearance samples) until acceptable airborne fiber levels are achieved. F. An action shall be considered complete when PCM is used as the method of analysis and the results show that the concentration of fibers in each of the sample is less than or equal to the limit of quantification (clearance level) of 0.010 f/cc. An action shall be considered complete when Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is used as the method of analysis when each of the concentrations of the five air samples is less than or equal to the filter background level (clearance level) of 70 structures/mm2. 1.4 AGGRESSIVE SAMPLING BY THE OWNER’S AMS All clearance air samples will be taken using aggressive sampling techniques as follows: 1. Before sampling pumps are started the exhaust from forced-air equipment (leaf blower with an approximately 1 horsepower electric motor) will be swept against all walls, ceilings, floors, ledges and other surfaces in the room. This procedure will be continued for approximately 5 minutes per 10,000 cubic feet of room volume. 2. One 20-inch diameter fan per 10,000 cubic feet of Work Area volume will be operated within the containment for the entire period of sample collection. 3. Air samples will be collected in areas subject to normal air circulation away from room corners, obstructed locations, and sites near windows, doors of vents. 4. After air-sampling pumps have been shut off, fans will be shut off. 1.5 SCHEDULING CLEARANCE AIR SAMPLES Final visual inspections and final air clearance monitoring shall be conducted by the AMS during normal working hours (Monday through Friday, from 0700 to 1730 hours). Allow for a minimum of 12 hours for sample collection and an additional 12 hours for laboratory analysis (normal working hours). Samples will not be analyzed on site. Clearance samples will be submitted to an accredited laboratory for prompt analysis. The Contractor shall anticipate and allow for a period of 12 to 24 hours for results to be received after the sample collection period.

All required air monitoring shall be performed by an AMS independent of the abatement contractor to avoid possible conflict of interest. The Owner will contract with the AMS to perform Work Area Clearance. B. The AMS shall collect air samples using aggressive sampling as described in 40 C.F.R. Part 763, Appendix A to Subpart E (EPA 1995), to monitor air for clearance after each abatement project; except that fans and leaf blowers shall not be directed toward any known friable ACM remaining in the Work Area. C. The air samples collected shall be analyzed for fiber concentrations by PCM, using laboratories showing successful participation in the American Industrial Hygiene Association Proficiency Analytical Testing Program for PCM or an on-site satellite lab as described below. Air samples to be analyzed by TEM will be sent to laboratories accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for TEM analysis. D. Whenever on-site satellite labs are used for PCM analysis for final clearance purposes, all persons conducting said analysis shall be properly trained pursuant to section II.B.1.c. (Training Requirements for AMSs) and shall follow all quality control and quality assurance guidelines as set forth in the NIOSH Method 7400 entitled "Fibers" published in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, 3rd Edition, second supplement, August 1987, which is herein incorporated by reference (incorporation of materials is discussed in section I.A. of this regulation 3.2 FINAL VISUAL INSPECTION A.

Allow time for amended water or removal encapsulant ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIAL 02080-4 to penetrate material thoroughly. If amended water is used, spray material repeatedly during the work process to maintain a continuously wet condition. If a removal encapsulant is used, apply in strict accordance with manufacturer's written instructions. Perforate outer covering of any insulation which has been painted and/or jacketed in order to allow penetration of amended water or removal encapsulant, or use injection equipment to wet material under the covering. Where necessary, carefully strip away while simultaneously spraying amended water or removal encapsulant on the ACM to minimize dispersal of asbestos fibers into the air. B. Two properly functioning airless sprayers (to spray amended water) shall be operation within the Work Area at all times during the removal process. One airless sprayer shall be a low-pressure sprayer suitable for saturating the asbestos-containing material to the substrate. The second airless sprayer should be suitable for misting the air continuously during the removal, thus maintaining a high humidity and assisting in reducing airborne fiber concentrations. If any one of these two sprayers breakdown or malfunction, removal activities shall cease until the sprayer is repaired or replaced with a similar properly functioning sprayer. 1. Mist Work Area continuously with amended water whenever necessary to reduce airborne fiber levels. 2. Remove saturated ACM in small sections from all areas. Do not allow material to dry out. As it is removed, simultaneously pack material while still wet into disposal bags. Twist neck of bags, bend over and seal with minimum three wraps of duct tape. Clean outside and move to Wash Down Station adjacent to Equipment Decontamination Unit. 3. Evacuate air from disposal bags with a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner before sealing. C. Spray asbestos-containing material with an amended water or removal encapsulant. Allow time for amended water or removal encapsulant to saturate materials to substrate. Do not over-saturate to cause excess dripping. Scrape materials from substrate. Remove materials in manageable quantities and control the descent to staging or floor below, if over 20 feet use drop chute to contain material during descent. If using amended water, spray mist surface continuously during work process. If using removal encapsulant follow manufacturer's written instructions. Remove residue remaining on substrate after scraping using stiff nylon bristled hand brush. Use high- pressure washer only with written authorization of Owner. If a removal encapsulant is used remove residue completely before encapsulant dries. If substrate dries before complete removal of residue re-wet with amended water or removal encapsulant. D. If surface of material has been painted or otherwise coated cut small holes as required and apply amended water or removal encapsulant from above. Cut wire lath or other substrate into manageable sections. Cut supports as needed. Remove, cut, roll or fold up complete with ACM and hand place in container. Do not drop on floor. After removal of substrate and ACM remove any overspray or residual on surfaces. E. Cut bands holding preformed insulation, slit jackets at seams, remove and hand-place in a disposal bag.

G. When Work Area temperatures are below 32oF and amended water is subject to freezing, activities shall cease until temperatures are above 32oF. Dry removal permits and procedures may not be utilized for freezing temperatures. Maintain a high humidity in the Work Area by misting or spraying to assist in fiber settling and reduce airborne concentrations. Wetting procedures are not equally effective on all types of asbestos containing materials but shall nonetheless be used in all cases. H. Material removed from building structures or components shall not be dropped or thrown to the floor. Material should be removed as intact sections or components whenever possible and carefully lowered to the floor. If this cannot be done for materials greater than 15 feet above the floor, a dust-tight chute shall be constructed to transport the material to containers on the floor or the material may be containerized at elevated levels (e.g., on scaffolds) and carefully lowered to the ground by mechanical means. Materials between 15 and 50 feet above ground may be containerized at elevated levels or dropped into inclined chutes or scaffolding for subsequent collection and containerization. I. Containers shall be sealed when full. Double bagging of waste material is required. Bags shall not be overfilled. They should be securely sealed to prevent accidental opening and leakage by tying tops of bags in an overhand knot or by taping in gooseneck fashion. Do not seal bags with wire or cord.

DAVIS-BACON ACT 40 USC276a -276a-5 (1995) 29 CFR 5 (1995) The language in this clause is mandated under the DOL regulations at 29 C.F.R.5.5.) (1) Minimum wages - (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employees payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1 321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. (ii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iii) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that Page 6 the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (iv) (A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, Washington, DC 2021 0. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination with 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (1)(iv) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (2) Withholding - The City of Fort Collins shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the Page 7 project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the City of Fort Collins may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and basic records - (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.

The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

Page 8 (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1 001 of title 1 8 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code. (iii The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Federal Transit Administration or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. (4) Apprentices and trainees (i) Apprentices - Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Page 9 Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees - Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal employment opportunity - The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 1 1 246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.

The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5. (7) Contract termination: debarment - A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. (8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements - All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract. (9) Disputes concerning labor standards - Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such Page 10 disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.

(5) Payrolls and basic records - (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. Section 107 (OSHA): Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (i) The Contractor agrees to comply with section 107 of the Contract t Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, 40 U.S.C. section 333, and applicable DOL regulations, " Safety and Health Regulations for Construction " 29 C.F.R. Part 1926. Among other things, the Contractor agrees that it will not require any laborer or mechanic to work in unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous surroundings or working conditions. (ii) Subcontracts - The Contractor also agrees to include the requirements of this section in each subcontract. The term "subcontract" under this section is considered to refer to a person who agrees to perform any part of the labor or material requirements of a contract for construction, alteration or repair. A person who undertakes to perform a portion of a contract involving the furnishing of supplies or materials will be considered a "subcontractor" under this section if the work in question involves the performance of construction work and is to be performed: (1) directly on or near the construction site, or (2) by the employer for the specific project on a customized basis. Thus, a supplier of materials which will become an integral part of the construction is a "subcontractor' if the supplier fabricates or assembles the goods or materials in question specifically for the construction project and the work involved may be said to be construction activity. If the goods or materials in question are ordinarily sold to other customers from regular inventory, the supplier is not a "subcontractor." The requirements of this section do not apply to contracts or subcontracts for the purchase of supplies or materials or articles normally available on the open market. COPELAND ANTI-KICKBACK ACT 40 U.S.C. 276c (1995) 29 C.F.R. 3 (1995) 29 C.F.R. 5 (1995) 3.1 of the Copeland Act makes it clear that the purpose of the Act is to assist in "the enforcement of Page 12 the minimum wage provisions of the Davis- Bacon Act." In keeping with this intent DOL has included a section on the Copeland Act in the mandatory language of the Davis-Bacon provisions. The language can be found at 5.5(a)(5) of the Davis-Bacon model clauses and reads as follows: NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION TO THIRD PARTIES No Obligation by the Federal Government. (1) The Purchaser and Contractor acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any concurrence by the Federal Government in or approval of the solicitation or award of the underlying contract, absent the express written consent by the Federal Government, the Federal Government is not a party to this contract and shall not be subject to any obligations or liabilities to the Purchaser, Contractor, or any other party (whether or not a party to that contract) pertaining to any matter resulting from the underlying contract. (2) The Contractor agrees to include the above clause in each subcontract financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. It is further agreed that the clause shall not be modified, except to identify the subcontractor who will be subject to its provisions. PROGRAM FRAUD AND FALSE OR FRAUDULENT STATEMENTS AND RELATED ACTS 31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq. 49 CFR Part 31 18 U.S.C. 1001 49 U.S.C. 5307 Program Fraud and False or Fraudulent Statements or Related Acts. (1) The Contractor acknowledges that the provisions of the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986, as amended, 31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq. and U.S. DOT regulations, "Program Fraud Civil Remedies," 49 C.F.R. Part 31, apply to its actions pertaining to this Project. Upon execution of the underlying contract, the Contractor certifies or affirms the truthfulness and accuracy of any statement it has made, it makes, it may make, or causes to be made, pertaining to the underlying contract or the FTA assisted project for which this contract work is being performed. In addition to other penalties that may be applicable, the Contractor further acknowledges that if it makes, or causes to be made, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim, statement, submission, or certification, the Federal Government reserves the right to impose the penalties of the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 on the Contractor to the extent the Federal Government deems appropriate. (2) The Contractor also acknowledges that if it makes, or causes to be made, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim, statement, submission, or certification to the Federal Government under a contract connected with a project that is financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance originally awarded by FTA under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 5307, the Government reserves the right to impose the penalties of 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 49 U.S.C. 5307(n)(1) on the Contractor, to the extent the Federal Government deems appropriate. (3) The Contractor agrees to include the above two clauses in each subcontract financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. It is further agreed that the clauses shall not be modified, except to identify the subcontractor who will be subject to the provisions. Page 13 TERMINATION 49 U.S.C. Part 18 FTA Circular 4220.1 D a.

Termination shall be effected by serving a notice of termination on the contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default. The contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the contract.

Opportunity to Cure (General Provision) The City of Fort Collins in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions. If Contractor fails to remedy to the City of Fort Collins' satisfaction the breach or default or any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (1 0) days] after receipt by Contractor or written notice from the City of Fort Collins setting forth the nature of said breach or default, the City of Fort Collins shall have the right to terminate the Contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude the City of Fort Collins from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default. d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that the City of Fort Collins elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by the City of Fort Collins shall not limit the City of Fort Collins's remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract. e.

Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the work or any separable part, with the diligence that will insure its completion within the time specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the City of Fort Collins may terminate this contract for default. The City of Fort Collins shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. In this event, the Recipient may take over the work and compete it by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and plant on the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for any damage to the Recipient resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated. This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Recipient in completing the work.

If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the Recipient may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any additional cost incurred by the Recipient. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient. i. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The City of Fort Collins may terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by serving a notice or termination on the Contractor.

PATENT AND RIGHTS IN DATA 37 CFR Part 401 49 CFR Parts 18 and 19 The FTA patent clause is substantially similar to the text of 49 C.F.R. Part 19, Appendix A, Section 5, but the rights in data clause reflects FTA objectives. For patent rights, FT/k is governed by Federal law and regulation. For data rights, the text on copyrights is insufficient to meet FTA's purposes for awarding research grants. This model clause, with larger rights ,as a standard, is proposed with the understanding that this standard could be modified to FTA's needs. CONTRACTS INVOLVING EXPERIMENTAL, DEVELOPMENTAL, OR RESEARCH WORK. A. Rights in Data - This following requirements apply to each contract involving experimental, developmental or research work: (1) The term "subject data" used in this clause means recorded information, whether or not copyrighted, that is delivered or specified to be delivered under the contract. The term includes graphic or pictorial delineation in media such as drawings or photographs; text in specifications or related performance or design-type documents; machine forms such as punched cards, magnetic tape, or computer memory printouts; and information retained in computer memory. Examples include, but are not limited to: computer software, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, and related information. The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar information incidental to contract administration. (2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of the contract to which this Attachment has been added: (a) Except for its own internal use, the Purchaser or Contractor may not publish or reproduce subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Purchaser or Contractor authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the Federal Government, until such time as the Federal Government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an academic institution. (b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. 19.36, the Federal Government reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, for "Federal Government purposes," any subject data or copyright described in subsections (2)(b)l and (2)(b)2 of this clause below. As used in the previous sentence, "for Federal Government purposes," means use only for the direct purposes of the Federal Government. Without the copyright owner's consent, the Federal Government may not extend its Federal license to any other party. 1. Any subject data developed under that contract, whether or not a copyright has been obtained; and 2. Any rights of copyright purchased by the Purchaser or Contractor using Federal assistance in whole or in part provided by FTA. (c) When FTA awards Federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or research work, it is FTA's general intention to increase transportation knowledge available to the public, rather than to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to participants in that work. Therefore, unless FTA determines otherwise, the Purchaser and the Contractor performing Page 20 experimental, developmental, or research work required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment is added agrees to permit FTA to make available to the public, either FTA's license in the copyright to any subject data developed in the course of that contract, or a copy of the subject data first produced under the contract for which a copyright has not been obtained. If the experimental, developmental, or research work, which is the subject of the underlying contract, is not completed for any reason whatsoever, all data developed under that contract shall become subject data as defined in subsection (a) of this clause and shall be delivered as the Federal Government may direct. This subsection (c) , however, does not apply to adaptations of automatic data processing equipment or programs for the Purchaser or Contractor's use whose costs are financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA for transportation capital projects. (d) Unless prohibited by state law, upon request by the Federal Government, the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Federal Government, its officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official duties against any liability, including costs and expenses, resulting from any willful or intentional violation by the Purchaser or Contractor of proprietary rights, copyrights, or right of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or disposition of any data furnished under that contract. Neither the Purchaser nor the Contractor shall be required to indemnify the Federal Government for any such liability arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the Federal Government. (e) Nothing contained in this clause on rights in data shall imply a license to the Federal Government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the Federal Government under any patent. (f) Data developed by the Purchaser or Contractor and financed entirely without using Federal assistance provided by the Federal Government that has been incorporated into work required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment has been added is exempt from the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause , provided that the Purchaser or Contractor identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of the contract work. (g) Unless FTA determines otherwise, the Contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. (3) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing, irrespective of the Contractor's status (i.e. , a large business, small business, state government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution of higher education, individual, etc.), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal Government as described in U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R. Part 401. (4) The Contractor also agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. B. Patent Rights - This following requirements apply to each contract involving experimental, developmental, or research work: (1) General - If any invention, improvement, or discovery is conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the course of or under the contract to which this Attachment has Page 21 been added, and that invention, improvement, or discovery is patentable under the laws of the United States of America or any foreign country, the Purchaser and Contractor agree to take actions necessary to provide immediate notice and a detailed report to the party at a higher tier until FTA is ultimately notified. (2) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing, irrespective of the Contractor's status (a large business, small business, state government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution of higher education, individual), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal Government as described in U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R. Part 401. (3) The Contractor also agrees to include the requirements of this clause in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) 49 CFR Part 23 DBE Policy- It is the policy of the Department of Transportation, hereinafter referred to as DOT that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, as defined in 49 CFR Part 23, shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds under this Agreement.

Coordinate Owner Inspections All work and material shall be subject to visual inspection by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. The Contractor shall provide reasonable and necessary facilities for such observation and shall render the assistance necessary to permit the Owner to carry out all phases of observation. 1. When required by Owner, the Contractor shall take down or uncover portions of the finished work. If the work thus exposed is satisfactory to Owner, the cost of exposing and restoring the same shall be at the expense of Owner; however, if in opinion of Owner, work is unsatisfactory, all cost and expenses of exposing, removing, retesting, replacing and restoring shall be borne by the Contractor. 2. Any omission or failure on the part of Owner to disapprove or reject any inferior or defective work or material shall not be construed to be an acceptance of any such work or materials. The Contractor shall remove at its own expense any defective work or material rejected by Owner and shall rebuild or replace the same without extra charge to Owner. All retesting of an area for clearance shall be at the Contractor's expense. 3. All inspections shall take place during normal working hours as provided in Section 1.4: Work Schedule. If inspections occur past normal working hours, the Contractor shall bear the costs incurred by Owner as result of the additional labor of Owner. 4. Where the Owner has an on-site representative, the Contractor shall give the Owner two hours advance notice of an impending required inspection. Where the Owner does not have an on-site representative, then a 24-hour advance notice of impending inspection is required. 5. If the inspection detects items to be corrected the area will be termed “failed” and will need to have corrective action taken by the Contractor. 6. The Contractor must allow for a two-hour notice period before the re-inspection of the failed area may begin (this may be waived by Owner). Items of work requiring inspection sign-off by Owner are: a) Pre-Abatement (Area Preparation/Containment) Inspection: Removal of asbestos and necessary demolition shall not take place until Owner or Owner’s Representative has ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-8 inspected area preparation work and given approval. b) Final Visual Inspection: The area shall not be encapsulated or locked down until Owner or Owner’s 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, remains or saturation on polyethylene sheeting or other surfaces in the containment. c) Contractor shall request in writing (via speed memo or fax) required Owner inspections including the time and date of the requested inspection. 7. The inspections are listed in the applicable specification paragraphs. A punch list of items to be corrected resulting from the “failed” inspection, will be prepared jointly by the Contractor and Owner prior to final acceptance of the project by the Owner. Inspections shall in no way be construed as final or partial acceptance by Owner. Any failure or omission of the Owner to notify the Contractor of defective work shall not excuse Contractor for liability for such defective work. 8. It will be necessary that the Contractor successfully confine fiber release to the designated Work Area and within the containment. Owner obligations are solely to Owner. In meeting such obligations, Owner may increase the burdens and expense of the Contractor, his subcontractors or employees, or the surety of them. Nothing in the performance of Owner 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 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 produce the intended results, or for the safety of others during construction. The Contractor shall establish means and environmental conditions that meet applicable laws and regulations. 9. The Contractor is required to remove all specified ACM. Any ACM, debris or contaminated materials, missed, not accessed or not abated thoroughly, and later discovered by the Owner, will be corrected by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner. B. Owner Authority to Stop Work and Require Reassignment/Replacement 1. Owner shall have the authority to stop work. Such work stoppage may occur at any time it is determined by the Owner, Owner’s Representative or other authoritative entity (e.g., federal, state or local regulatory representative) that conditions at the job site are not within the scope of the specifications, or that a health hazard might exist for workers or building occupants. The stoppage of work shall continue until conditions have been corrected. All downtime during the work stoppage will be at the expense of the Contractor. Similarly, the standby time required to correct conditions leading to the work stoppage shall be at the Contractor's expense. 2. Owner reserves the right to require the asbestos Contractor to reassign employees who violate any provisions of the decontamination and work procedures in the specifications, or who are deemed by the Owner to work in a manner which is not consistent with industry standards or health and safety guidelines. 3. In the event that the Contractor's project supervisor or foreman refuses to cooperate with Owner regarding health and safety issues (including issues concerning these technical specifications), Owner reserves the right to require the Contractor to replace the uncooperative individual. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-9 C. Air Monitoring by the Owner Air monitoring may be conducted both outside and inside of the Work Area during the work, prior to the project, and for clearance sampling at the end of the project. 1. Outside of the Work Area: The Owner shall retain the right to sample air outside of the Work Area to detect faults in the Work Area isolation such as: a) Contamination of the building outside of the Work Area with airborne asbestos fibers, b) Failure of filtration or rupture in the differential pressure system and, c) Contamination of air outside the building envelop with airborne asbestos fibers. 2. Inside the Work Area: The Owner shall retain the right to monitor airborne fiber counts in the Work Area. The purpose of this air monitoring is to detect airborne asbestos concentrations, which may challenge the ability of the Work Area isolation procedures to protect the balance of the building or outside of the building from contamination by airborne fibers. D. Work Area Clearance Clearance air sampling shall be conducted by the Owner at the completion of asbestos abatement work is described in Section 01712 Work Area Clearance. E. Personnel air monitoring required by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the responsibility of the Contractor and is not covered in this section. F. Background samples shall be collected by the Owner prior to the start of work activities. PART 2 - PRODUCTS (Not Applicable) PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 WORK SEQUENCE 3.1.2 SEQUENCE OF EVENTS A. This section provides a general summary of the work sequence. Where steps were omitted, the general steps listed below shall apply as the general sequence of events for all phases. Contractor is bound to the conditions within this set of specifications, unless otherwise specified in this section. Owner shall be responsible for the determination of overlapping or unnecessary steps. 1. The Contractor shall install a properly functioning personal decontamination unit and material transfer unit, properly sized for the project, phase or containment in a location best suited for expediting the applicable phase of abatement in the most efficient manner. Both personal decontamination units and waste transfer units shall be attached to full containments. For secondary or mini-containments, personal decontamination units may be constructed remotely in staging area(s) proximate to the Work Area and suitable for regulatory compliance, and shall only be placed after approval of location by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. Personal decontamination units and waste transfer units shall remain in place for the duration of the applicable phase of the project, and shall remain operational until final air clearance sample results have been delivered in writing to the Contractor by the Owner or the Owner’s ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-10 Representative. 2. The Contractor shall then install and initiate negative pressure differential of minus 0.025 inches of water column (as measured by a properly calibrated and zeroed manometer equipped with a strip-chart printout or equivalent) within the Work Area resulting in a minimum four air changes per hour. 3. The Contractor shall then be permitted to pre-clean (using HEPA vacuum and wet-wiping techniques) all remaining surfaces within the space, including, but not limited to, moveable fixtures, non-moveable fixtures, and all other surfaces. Contractor shall then cover all non- asbestos-contaminated or non-asbestos covered fixed objects with a minimum of one layer of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting securely affixed and sealed water-tight with duct tape. 4. Contractor shall then conduct a visual inspection of Work Area pre-cleaning completion to verify compliance with these specifications and regulatory requirements. 5. After all moveable items have been removed from the Work Area, and the area has been pre- cleaned to the satisfaction of the Owner or the Owner’s Representative, the Contractor shall then be permitted to erect primary and secondary containment barriers (installation of a minimum of two layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting on floors, two layers of 4-mil polyethylene sheeting on walls and one layer of 4-mil polyethylene sheeting on ceilings). 6. Once the area has been properly pre-cleaned and sealed, and properly functioning decontamination units (personal and waste transfer) are in place, the Contractor shall ensure that a negative pressure differential of at least minus 0.030 inches of water pressure differential exists within full containment and at least minus 0.025 inches of water pressure differential with secondry containment, with a minimum four air changes per hour. 7. Contractor shall then request a pre-abatement visual inspection from the Owner or Owner’s Representative. The Owner or Owner’s Representative shall then conduct said area preparation pre-abatement visual inspection in accordance with this specification and regulatory requirements. 8. The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling applicable pre-removal inspections by regulatory agencies, before removal may commence. 9. The Contractor shall then lay applicable drop cloths and additional protective sheeting if needed. 10. Upon receiving approval from the Owner or the Owner’s Representative and any applicable regulatory agencies, the Contractor may begin removal of ACM, using appropriate techniques such as wetting, HEPA vacuuming and other appropriate work practices. 11. At a minimum, the Contractor shall use Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) for asbestos removal and cleanup work within the containment. If PAPRs are used, the Contractor must provide initial exposure assessment (IEA) to indicate that higher levels of respiratory protection such as supplied air respirators (SAR) are not required. This exposure documentation must be from similar projects and provide reliable expected values. If documentation is not provided which justifies the lesser protective PAPR, the Contractor must use higher levels of protection such as Type C Pressure Demand Supplied Air Respirators. The Contractor may choose to downgrade respiratory protection only upon submission of three consecutive shifts’ air monitoring results to the Owner or the Owner’s Representative, and these results provide definitive evidence of acceptable levels of airborne fibers within the Work Area. 12. The Contractor shall have at all times two properly functioning sprayers to spray amended water within the containment during the removal process. One shall be a low-pressure ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-11 sprayer suitable for saturating the asbestos-containing material to the substrate. The second shall be an airless type sprayer suitable for misting the air continuously during removal, thus maintaining high humidity and reducing airborne fiber concentrations. 13. At all times a manometer with strip chart recorder or equivalent shall be attached to each containment under abatement and be maintained operational. At all times, a negative pressure differential of negative 0.030 inches of water shall be maintained within full containments (0.025 inches of water within secondary containments). If the negative pressure differential drops to less than the specified minimum, the Contractor shall stop all active abatement activities and begin corrective action. Active abatement may re-commence once negative pressure differential has been re-established and maintained at the specified level for a minimum of two hours after corrective action was completed. 14. Owner or Owner’s Representative is not responsible for the Contractor's OSHA compliance monitoring. The Contractor shall post all air monitoring results on the site within 24-hours after collection of the sample(s). 15. The Contractor shall properly package, seal and label all removed ACWM and asbestos- contaminated materials prior to removal from the contaminated area. The Contractor shall remove all waste materials from the containment area through the waste transfer unit. 16. Once the ACWM (gross material and debris) have been properly packaged, labeled and removed from the Work Area and all substrates properly cleaned, the Contractor shall then begin the first phase of the final cleaning by decontaminating all surfaces within the containment, including the protective sheeting. 17. The first layer of protective sheeting called the "secondary barrier" (the layer that is exposed within the containment) shall be removed by the Contractor after it has been thoroughly cleaned. The Contractor will then begin the second phase of the final cleaning process by cleaning the second layer of protective sheeting called the "primary barrier." Once this layer is properly cleaned, it shall be removed carefully so as not to disturb the isolation barriers called the “critical barriers.” 18. With critical barriers and negative pressure in place, the third phase of final cleaning shall begin. All exposed surfaces including walls and floors shall be cleaned properly. 19. The final visual inspection shall take place, conducted by Owner or the Owner’s Representative, to ensure the area has been cleaned and decontaminated properly with no visible dust and debris. Suspect debris and dust on surfaces within the containment shall be removed per the original Scope of Work. 20. Upon successful completion of the final visual inspection by the Owner or the Owner’s Representative, the Contractor shall then lockdown and encapsulate all unfinished surfaces within the containment including wood joists, walls, and floors, unless the surfaces have been exempted by Owner. If desired, the lockdown can be applied prior to the removal of the primary barriers, thus protecting the walls, floors, and other surfaces. Passing inspections from Owner or Owner’s Representative must precede any lockdown and encapsulating activity. Owner shall then verify the area has been sufficiently encapsulated. 21. Once the area has dried, and the required settling time has elapsed, Owner or Owner’s Representative shall collect final air samples using aggressive techniques 22. The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling applicable final inspections by regulatory agencies, before the critical barriers, decontamination units, and Negative Air Machines (NAMs) are removed. 23. Upon successful completion of the final visual inspection by the Owner or Owner’s ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-12 Representative, final air monitoring, and final visual inspection by regulatory agencies, if applicable, the Contractor shall allow the NAMs to operate until all critical barriers are removed and sealed in disposal bags or other proper ACM waste containers. All temporary barriers (polyethylene sheeting) removed at the conclusion of the abatement shall be disposed of as ACWM as a precautionary measure. As an additional precautionary measure, the Contractor will provide a final cleaning of the area using HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping techniques. 3.2 STOP ACTION LEVELS A. Inside Work Area: The following applies to both personal and area air monitoring conducted within the Work Area. For Secondary Containments maintain an average airborne count in the Work Area of less than the Stop Action Level given below (to protect workers to 0.010 f/cc within the mask) for the type of respiratory protection in use. If the fiber counts rise above this figure for any sample taken, revise work procedures to lower fiber counts. If the Time Weighted Average (TWA) fiber count for any work shift or 8-hour period exceeds the Stop Action Level, stop all work except corrective action, leave pressure differential and air circulation system in operation and notify the Owner. After correcting cause of high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by Owner. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-13 STOP ACTION LEVEL (f/cc) MINIMUM RESPIRATOR REQUIRED PROTECTION FACTOR 0.1 Half-face APR 10 0.5 PAPR 50 1.0 Supplied Air Pressure Demand 100 B. Outside Work Area: If any air sample taken outside of the Work Area exceeds the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level (MAAL), immediately and automatically stop all work except corrective action. The Owner will determine the source of the high reading and so notify the Contractor in writing. 1. Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level a) Air monitoring shall be conducted during abatement activities and samples shall not be collected in an aggressive manner. b) Where Phase Contract Microscopy (PCM) is used as the method of analysis the standard is 0.010 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (f/cc) which is equivalent to 10,000 fibers per cubic meter of air (f/m3). The 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 Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is used as the method of analysis, the standard is 70 structures/millimeter2 (s/mm2). TEM analysis shall be conducted pursuant to the protocol in 40 CFR Part 763, Appendix A to Subpart E (EPA 1995). c) All air monitoring collected for MAAL and Clearance purposes shall be performed by the Owner's representative who is independent of the abatement contractor to avoid possible conflict of interest. 2. In the event that airborne fiber levels outside a Work Area exceed the MAAL when analyzed by PCM (when verified by TEM), the Contractor shall comply with CDPHE requirements for Major Asbestos Spills (Regulation 8 III.C.5.b). If the high reading was the result of a failure of Work Area isolation measures initiate the following actions: a) Immediately erect new critical barriers as set forth in Section 01526 Temporary Containments/Enclosures to isolate the affected area from the balance of the building. Erect Critical Barriers at the next existing structural isolation of the involved space (e.g. wall, ceiling, floor). b) Decontaminate the affected area in accordance with Section 01711 Project Decontamination. c) Require that respiratory protection as set forth in Section 01562 Respiratory Protection is worn in affected area until area is cleared for re-occupancy in accordance with Section 01712 Work Area Clearance. d) Leave critical barriers in place until completion of work and insure that the operation of the pressure differential system in the Work Area results in a flow of air from the balance of the building into the affected area. e) 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 Changing Room as set forth in Section 01563 Decontamination Units at entry point to affected area. f) After certification of visual inspection in the Work Area, remove critical barriers separating the Work Area from the affected area. Final air samples will be taken within ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 SUMMARY OF WORK 01013-14 3. In the event that areas beyond the Work Area become contaminated with asbestos, 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 bulk analysis) of these areas. 4. If the high reading was the result of other causes, initiate corrective action as required by the Owner. C. Effect on Contract Sum: Complete corrective work with no change in the Contract Sum if high airborne fiber counts were caused by Contractor's activities. The Contract Sum and schedule will be adjusted for additional work caused by high airborne fiber counts beyond the Contractor's 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. 3.3 STOP WORK A. If the Owner or Owner’s Representative presents a written stop work order, immediately and automatically conform to that stop work order, while maintaining temporary containments and pressure differential. Do not recommence abatement work until authorized, in writing, by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. B. Immediately initiate the following actions, after being presented with a stop work order immediately: 1. Cease all asbestos removal activities, or any other activities that disturbs ACM. 2. Repair any fallen, ripped or otherwise failed Work Area isolation measures. 3. Maintain in operation all Work Area isolation measures including those required by Sections 01513 Temporary Negative Pressure Differential Ventilation Systems, 01526 Temporary Containments/Enclosures, 01563 Decontamination Units. 4. Maintain all worker protections including those required by Sections 01560 Worker Protection and 01562 Respiratory Protection. 5. Fog the air in the Work Area with a mist of amended water to reduce airborne fiber levels. C. Do not recommence work until authorized, in writing, by the Owner Owner’s Representative.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-6 PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ISOLATION A. Isolation: Isolate the Work Area from all adjacent areas or systems of the building with a Pressure Differential that will cause a movement of air from outside to inside at any breach in the physical isolation of the Work Area. B. Relative Pressure in Work Area: Continuously maintain the Work Area at an air pressure that is lower than that in any surrounding space in the building, or at any location in the immediate proximity outside of the building envelope. This pressure differential when measured across any physical or critical barrier must equal or exceed a static pressure of Negative 0.030 inches of water. C. Pressure Differential: Accomplish the pressure differential by exhausting a sufficient number of HEPA filtered fan units from the Work Area. The number of units required will depend on machine characteristics, the seal at barriers, and required air circulation. The number of units will increase with increased make-up air or leaks into the Work Area. Determine the number of units required for pressure isolation by the following procedure: 1. Establish required air flow/movement to ensure that “dead-air” spaces do not exist in the Work Area. 2. Establish required air changes (circulation) and airflow in the Work Area, personnel and equipment decontamination units. 3. Exhaust a sufficient number of units from the Work Area to develop the required pressure differential of negative 0.030 inches of water. 4. The required number of units is the number determined above plus an additional 10 percent or 1 (which ever is greater) for backup purposes. 5. Vent HEPA filtered fan units to outside of building unless authorized in writing by Owner. 6. If air must be exhausted to the interior of the building, air samples will be collected by the Owner’s Health and Safety Representative at least every day to ensure there is no breach in the filtering system. Vent each HEPA filtered fan unit to inlet of second unit. Vent second unit to a controlled area in the building. Ensure that controlled area is isolated from balance of building by critical barriers at all times that units are in operation. 7. Mount units to exhaust directly or through disposable ductwork such as inflatable, disposable plastic ductwork (lengths not greater than 100) and spiral wire-reinforced flex duct (lengths not greater than 50 feet). Arrange so that the length of exhaust duct does not overburden the negative air units. 8. Use only new ductwork except for sheet metal connections and elbows. 9. Use ductwork and fittings of same diameter or larger than discharge connection on fan unit. 10. Arrange exhaust as required to inflate duct to rigidity sufficient to prevent flapping. 11. If direction of discharge from fan unit is not aligned with duct, use sheet metal elbow or spiral wire-reinforced flex duct to change direction. Use a minimum of six feet of spiral wire reinforced flex duct after direction change. D. Isolation of Ductwork: Any duct running through the Work Area that leads to operating HVAC equipment shall be isolated from the Work Area by installing critical barriers. Where possible, ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP.

Install so that the exhaust from the generator does not flow to any building ventilation or supply air intakes. For occupied buildings, arrange so that if a power failure occurs the generator automatically starts and supplies power to a minimum of 50 percent of the HEPA filtered fan units in operation. For work in unoccupied buildings or where the Owner does not require auto- switching, the Contractor shall have access to generator(s) capable of powering a minimum of 50 percent of the minimum required HEPA filtered fan units, in the event of power loss. Where additional power panels are available, power 50 percent of HEPA filtered fan units from a separate power panel. 3.3 AIR CHANGES (CIRCULATION) AND AIR FLOW IN THE WORK AREA A. Air Changes (Circulation): For purposes of this section air circulation refers to either the introduction of outside air to the Work Area or the circulation and cleaning of air within the Work Area. B. Work Area: Air Changes (Circulation) in the Work Area is a minimum requirement intended to help maintain airborne fiber counts at a level that does not significantly challenge the Work Area isolation measures. The Contractor may also use this air circulation as part of the engineering controls in the worker protection program. C. Air Changes (Circulation) Requirements: The airflow volume (cubic meters per minute) exhausted (removed) from the workplace must exceed the amount of makeup air supplied to the containment. Provide a fully operational air circulation system supplying a minimum of 4 air changes per hour. D. Determine Number of Units needed to achieve required air circulation according to the following procedure: 1. Determine the volume in cubic feet of the Work Area by multiplying floor area by ceiling height. Determine total air circulation requirement in cubic feet per minute (CFM) for the Work Area by dividing this volume by 60 and multiplying by the air change rate (4 air changes per minute). Provide fully operational negative pressure systems supplying a minimum of one air change every 15 minutes. In other word, determine total ventilation requirement in cubic feet per minute (cfm) for the Work Area by dividing the room volume by 15 minutes. Volume of Work Area (Cu Ft ) Capacity of Unit with Loaded Filters (CFM) x 10 (4 air changes/hour) = # of units needed 2. Add an additional units as a backup (10 percent or one unit, whichever is greater) for filter loading, equipment failure or machine shutdown for filter changing. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-8 3.4 NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM Pressure differential isolation and air circulation and pressure differential in the Work Area are to be accomplished by an exhaust system as described below. 1. Exhaust all units from the Work Area to meet air circulation requirement of this section. 2. Location of HEPA Filtered Fan Units: Locate fan unit(s) so that makeup air enters Work Area primarily through decontamination facilities and traverses Work Area as much as possible. This may be accomplished by positioning the HEPA filtered fan unit(s) at a maximum distance from the worker access opening or other makeup air sources. Locate fan units and make-up air sources per Project Design or per Plan of Action. 3. The end of the unit or its exhaust duct should be placed through an opening in the plastic barrier or wall covering. Seal plastic around the unit or duct with tape. 4. Vent to Outside of Building, unless authorized in writing by the Owner. Place end of unit or its exhaust duct through an opening in the plastic barrier or wall covering. The plastic around the unit or duct shall then be sealed with tape. 5. Air Handling Unit Exhaust: The exhaust plume from air handling units should be located away from adjacent personnel and intakes for HVAC systems. Contractor is responsible for associated costs with ducting and exhaust installation including removal and reinstallation of windowpanes, etc. 6. Decontamination Units: Arrange Work Area and decontamination units so that the majority of make up air comes through the Decontamination Units. Use either only the personnel Decontamination Unit or only the equipment Decontamination Unit at any one time and seal the other so that make up air passes through unit in use. 7. Supplemental Makeup Air Inlets: Provide supplemental makeup air inlets where required for proper airflow through the Work Area as authorized by the Owner. Additional make- up air shall enter through HEPA filters installed at critical barrier locations. Install to filter air leaving the Work Area (in the case of system failure, resulting is positive pressure). 3.5 AIR CIRCULATION IN DECONTAMINATION UNITS A. Pressure Differential Isolation: It is critical to worker safety that there be movement of air through the decontamination unit from the clean side of the shower toward the Work Area. This movement of air must be adequate to carry away airborne fibers that result from the decontamination and showering process so that the worker is breathing clean air when the respirator is removed. This will typically result in a drafty shower but a safe worker. Continuously maintain the pressure differential required for the Work Area in the: 1. Personnel Decontamination Unit: across the Shower Room with the Equipment Room at a lower pressure than the Clean room. 2. Equipment Decontamination Unit: Across the Holding Room with the Wash Room at a lower pressure than the Clean Room. B. Air Circulation: Continuously maintain air circulation in Decontamination Units at same level as required for Work Area. C. Air Movement: Arrange air circulation through the Personnel Decontamination Unit so that it produces a movement of air from the Clean Room through the Shower Room into the Equipment ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-9 Room. At each opening, the airflow velocity must be sufficient to provide visible indications of air movement into the Work Area. The velocity of airflow within the containment must be adequate to remove airborne contamination from each worker's breathing zone without disturbing the asbestos-containing material on surfaces. 3.6 USE OF THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL AND AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM A. General: Each unit shall be serviced by a dedicated minimum 115V-20A circuit with a GFCI supplied from temporary power supply installed under requirements of Section 01503 Temporary Facilities. Do not use existing branch circuits to power fan units. Power each negative air machine from a separate line or circuit. If at all possible, power some of the units from a separate panel. B. Air Flow Tests: Airflow patterns will be checked before removal operations begin, at least once per operating shift and any time there is a question regarding the integrity of the containment. The primary test for airflow is to trace air currents with smoke tubes or other visual methods. Flow checks are made at each opening and at each doorway to demonstrate that air is being drawn into the containment and at each worker's position to show that air is being drawn away from the worker’s location and toward the HEPA filtration unit. C. Negative Pressure Ventilation: A sufficient quantity of negative pressure ventilation units shall be used, equipped with HEPA filters and operated in accordance with ANSI Z9.2-79 (local exhaust ventilation requirements), EPA guidance document EPA 560/5- 83-002 (Blue Book), and EPA 560/5-85/024 (Purple Book). D. Equipment: Check condition of equipment for each HEPA filtered fan unit and pressure differential monitoring equipment including proper condition and operation of the following: 1. Squareness of HEPA Filter and condition of the seals, and proper operation of Magnehelic gauge 2. Proper operation of all lights, operation of automatic shut down if exhaust is blocked, and alarms 3. Proper operation and calibration of pressure monitoring equipment E. Operation: Verify operation of the pressure differential system including, but not be limited to, the following: 1. Plastic barriers and sheeting move lightly in toward Work Area and curtains of decontamination units move lightly in toward Work Area. 2. There is a noticeable movement of air through the Decontamination Unit. 3. Use smoke tube to demonstrate air movement from Clean Room through Shower Room to Equipment Room. Use smoke tubes to demonstrate a definite motion of air across all areas in which work is to be performed. 4. Use a differential pressure meter or manometer to demonstrate the required pressure differential at barriers separating the Work Area from the balance of the building, equipment, ductwork or outside. 5. Modify the Pressure Differential System as necessary to demonstrate successfully the above. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-10 F. Test: Test negative pressure system by allowing the system at negative 0.030 inches of water to operate 2 hours before any asbestos-containing material is wetted or removed. Demonstrate using strip chart that required negative pressure was maintained during this period. The Owner or Owner’s Representative shall inspect the containment system after the test period to detect any problems. If the system passes inspection, removal may then begin. Use smoke tubes to demonstrate a positive motion of air across all areas. Monitor and record the pressure differential from two points. The recording shall be done through the use of manometers with LED/LCD display (readout) and equipped with properly operating circular or strip chart recorders. Provide adequate paper and pen supplies for recorders. If the containment sustains damage or repairs are made during or after the test period, the containment must be re-tested for 2 hours prior to re- commencing work activities. G. Use of System During Abatement Operations 1. Start fan units before beginning work (before any asbestos-containing material is disturbed). After abatement work has begun, run units continuously to maintain a constant pressure differential and air circulation until decontamination of the Work Area and clearance air sampling is complete. Do not turn off units at the end of the work shift or when abatement operations temporarily stop. Start abatement work at a location farthest from the exhaust units and proceed toward them. 2. After the initial airflow patterns have been checked, the static pressure must be monitored within the containment. At all times a manometer with strip chart recorder or equipment shall be set up and operational. To meet this requirement, the Contractor shall install two functioning manometers in two separate locations, to ensure backup manometer is in place as a contingency for equipment failure. At all times both manometers shall read a minimum negative 0.030 inches of water. If pressure drops below negative 0.030 inches the Contractor shall stop active abatement activities and begin corrective action, active abatement may recommence once negative pressure has maintained -0.030 inches for at least two hours after correction was completed. For projects that have an onsite Owner’s-Representative, submit daily a copy of the 24-hour duration chart from the previous day. For projects that do not have an onsite Owner’s-Representative, submit weekly copies of the 24-hour duration charts from the previous week. 3. Do not shut down air pressure differential system during encapsulating procedures, unless authorized by the Owner in writing. Supply sufficient pre-filters to allow frequent changes. 4. Start abatement work at a location farthest from the fan units and proceed toward them. 5. Corrective Actions: If the manometers or pressure gauges demonstrate a reduction in pressure differential below the required level, work should cease and the reason for the change investigated and appropriate changes made. The airflow patterns should be retested before work begins again. 6. If an electric power failure occurs, immediately stop all abatement work and do not resume until power is restored and negative air units are operating again. 7. If air must be exhausted to the interior of the building, air samples will be taken and analyzed by PCM or any equivalent method approved by the Owner at least every day and must meet the requirements of CDPHE Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level to ensure that there is no breach in the filtering system. In the event that the maximum allowable ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS COFC-TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMP. NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEM 01513-11 asbestos level is exceeded, all of the requirements of CDPHE Regulation 8 Asbestos Spill Response must be met. 8. At completion of abatement work, allow fan units to run as specified under section 01711, to remove airborne fibers that may have been generated during abatement work and cleanup and to purge the Work Area with clean makeup air. The units may be required to run for a longer time after decontamination, if dry or only partially wetted asbestos material was encountered during any abatement work. H. Dismantling the System: When a final inspection and the results of final air tests indicate that the area has been decontaminated, fan units may be removed from the Work Area. Allow the units to operate until all Critical barriers and pre-filters are removed and sealed in disposal bags. Decontaminate exteriors of machine and seal the intakes to the machine with 6 mil (0.15 mm) polyethylene to prevent environmental contamination from the filters.

Provide Critical Barriers, Negative Pressure Ventilation System and Decontamination Units 5. Prepare Area (Precleaning, Moveable Objects) 6. Provide Primary and Secondary Barriers. 7. Provide Isolation Areas as required. 8. Provide Drop Cloths. 3.2 GENERAL A. Work Area: the location where asbestos abatement work occurs. The Work Area is a variable of the extent of work of the Contract. It may be a portion of a room, a single room, or a complex of rooms. A "Work Area" is considered contaminated during the work, and must be isolated from the balance of the building within a containment, and decontaminated at the completion of the asbestos control work. A. Isolation: Completely isolate the Work Area from other parts of the building so as to prevent asbestos-containing dust or debris from passing beyond the isolated area. Should the area beyond the Work Area(s) become contaminated with asbestos-containing dust or debris as a consequence of the work, clean those areas in accordance with the procedures indicated in Section 01711 Project Decontamination. Perform all such required cleaning or decontamination at no additional cost to Owner. 1. Prior to beginning pre-cleaning and area preparation, establish Critical Barriers and appropriate decontamination facilities, install negative pressure ventilation units and initiate negative pressure within the Work Area. Seal off all windows, doorways, elevator openings, corridor entrances, drains, ducts, grills, grates, diffusers, skylights and any other openings between the Work Area with a minimum of two (2) layers of six (6) mil polyethylene sheeting and tape. 2. Post appropriate signs meeting the specifications of OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 at all outside entrances to air locks. Signs shall be posted at a distance sufficiently far enough away from the Work Area to permit an employee to read the sign and take the necessary ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-4 protective measures to avoid exposure. Additional signs may need to be posted following construction of work place containment barriers. C. Disabling HVAC Systems: The power to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that service the regulated area must be deactivated and locked out. All ducts, grills, access ports, windows and vents must be sealed off with two layers of plastic to prevent re- entrainment of contaminated air. D. Pre-Cleaning and Removing Movable Objects: Clean movable objects and remove them from the Work Area before a containment is constructed unless moving the objects creates a hazard. Moveable objects will be assumed to be asbestos contaminated and are to be either both cleaned with amended water and a HEPA vacuum, and then removed from the area or wrapped and then disposed of as asbestos-contaminated waste material (ACWM). The following describes the protocol for moveable objects: 1. Preclean all movable objects within the Work Area using HEPA filtered vacuums and/or wet cleaning methods as appropriate. After cleaning, these objects shall be removed from the Work Area and carefully stored in an uncontaminated location. Dispose of all debris, filters, rags, mop head and other cleaning wastes as ACWM in sealed leak-tight containers. 3. Preclean all fixed objects in the Work Area using HEPA filtered vacuums and/or wet cleaning techniques as appropriate. Careful attention must be paid to machinery behind grills or gratings where access may be difficult but contamination can be significant. Also, pay particular attention to wall, floor and ceiling penetrations behind fixed items. After pre-cleaning, completely seal fixed objects within a minimum of two (2) layers of six (6) mil polyethylene sheeting and seal securely in place with tape. 4. Permanent fixtures, shelves, electronic equipment, laboratory tables, sprinklers, alarm systems, closed circuit TV equipment and computer cables that must remain in the Work Area and that require special ventilation or containment requirements shall be designated at the pre-bid meeting along with specified means of protection. Control panels, gauges etc. in the Work Area may require Owner access during abatement. These shall be designated at the pre-bid meeting and special enclosures constructed with access flags sealed with waterproof tape. Dispose of all debris, filters, rags, mop head and other cleaning wastes as ACWM in sealed leak-tight containers. 5. Preclean all surfaces in the Work Area using HEPA filtered vacuums and/or wet cleaning methods as appropriate. Do not use any methods that would raise dust such as dry sweeping or vacuuming with equipment not equipped with HEPA filters. Do not disturb asbestos containing materials during the pre-cleaning phase. Dispose of all debris, filters, rags, mop head and other cleaning wastes as ACWM in sealed leak-tight containers. E. Containments: Construct containments to provide an airtight seal around ducts and openings into existing ventilation systems and around penetrations for electrical conduits, telephone wires, water lines, drain pipes, etc. Construct containments to be both airtight and watertight except for those openings designed to provide entry and/or air flow control. Unless spray-poly is specified or authorized, use sheet plastic for constructing containments. 1. Polyethylene sheeting for floors, stationary objects and Critical Barriers shall be a minimum of 6-mil thick. Use a minimum of two layers of 6-mil thickness in widths selected to minimize the number of joints. Joints shall be staggered. Walls shall be ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-5 covered with a minimum of two layers of 4-mil polyethylene with staggered joints. Wall layers shall cover floor layers that are run 24" up the wall, (unless spray-poly is used). If a containment area has a ceiling that will not be abated as part of the abatement work, at a minimum, the ceiling shall be covered with sheeting that shall consist of one layer of four (4) mil or thicker polyethylene, unless spray poly is used. It shall be installed to minimize seams and shall extend beyond wall/ceiling joints at least twelve (12) inches. No seams shall be located along wall/ceiling joints. 2. Method of attaching polyethylene sheeting shall be agreed upon in advance by the Contractor and Owner or Owner’s Representative and selected to minimize damage to equipment and surfaces. Method of attachment may include any combination of duct tape or other waterproof tape, furring strips, spray glue, staples, nails, screws or other effective procedures capable of sealing adjacent sheets of polyethylene and capable of sealing polyethylene to dissimilar finished or unfinished surfaces under both wet and dry conditions. 3. Polyethylene sheeting utilized for worker decontamination containment shall be opaque white or black in color. 4. Floors, stationary objects and critical barriers will be covered with a minimum of two layers of 6-mil minimum sheeting. Floors requiring special protection shall be specified at the pre-bid meeting. Carpeting, hardwood flooring and tile floors may be damaged by falling material, water leaks, ladder feet, scaffold wheels, etc. Additional layers of protection such as plywood, canvas drop cloths or extra plastic sheeting may be required by the Owner. Additional layers of sheeting may be utilized as drop cloths to aid in cleanup of bulk materials. Plastic shall be sized to minimize seams. If the floor area necessitates seams, those on successive layers of sheeting shall be staggered to reduce the potential for water to penetrate to the flooring material. A distance of at least 6 feet between seams is sufficient. DO NOT locate any seams at wall/floor joints. Floor sheeting shall extend at least 24 inches up the sidewalls of the Work Area. Sheeting shall be installed in a fashion so as to prevent slippage between successive layers of material. 5. Cover walls in the Work Area with polyethylene sheeting. Openings through walls to uncontaminated areas of the building must be sealed. Walls will be covered with a minimum of two layers of 4-mil polyethylene sheeting. Plastic shall be sized to minimize seams. Seams shall be staggered and separated by a distance of at least 6 feet. Wall sheeting shall overlap floor sheeting by at least 24 inches beyond the wall/floor joint to provide a better seal against water damage and for negative pressure. 6. Wall sheeting shall be secured adequately to prevent it from falling away from the walls. 7. If the containment area has a ceiling that will not be abated as part of the abatement work, at a minimum, the ceiling area shall be covered with polyethylene sheeting that shall consist of one (1) layer of four (4) mil or thicker polyethylene sheeting. It shall be installed to minimize seams and shall extend beyond wall/ceiling joints at least 12 inches. No seams shall be located along wall/ceiling joints. F. Size: Construct containment with sufficient volume to encompass all of the working surfaces yet allow unencumbered movement by the worker(s), provide unrestricted air flow past the worker(s), and ensure walking surfaces can be kept free of tripping hazards. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-6 G. Shape: The containment may be any shape that optimizes the flow of ventilation air past the worker(s). H. Structural Integrity: The walls, ceilings and floors must be supported in such a manner that portions of the containment will not fall down during normal use. I. Barrier Supports: Provide frames as necessary to support all unsupported spans of sheeting. J. Openings: It is not necessary that the structure be airtight; openings may be designed to direct airflow. Such openings are to be located at a distance from active removal operations. They are to be designed to draw air into the containment under all anticipated circumstances. Such openings must be fitted with either HEPA filters to trap dust or automatic trap doors that prevent dust from escaping the containment in the event that negative pressure is lost. Openings for exits are to be controlled by an airlock or a vestibule. K. Tools: Place all tools, scaffolding, staging, etc. necessary for the work in the area to be isolated prior to completion of Work Area isolation. L. Areas Within a Containment: Each containment consists of a Work Area, a decontamination containment system, and waste load-out area. The Work Area where the asbestos removal operations occur are to be separated from both the decontamination containment system, and waste load-out area by physical curtains, doors, and/or airflow patterns that force any airborne contamination back into the Work Area. M. Inspection Windows: Install inspection windows in locations shown on the plans or as directed by the Owner or Owner’s Representative. Each inspection window is to have a minimum of a 12- inch x12 inch viewing area fabricated from ¼-inch acrylic or polycarbonate sheet (plexiglass). Install window in a manner that provides unobstructed vision from outside to inside of the Work Area. Protect windows from damage from scratching, dirt or any coatings used during the work. A sufficient number of windows are to be installed to provide observation of all portions of the Work Area that can be made visible from adjacent areas. Inspection windows that open into uncontrolled area are to be covered with a removable plywood hatch secured by lock and hasp. Provide keys to the Owner for all such locks. 3.3 EMERGENCY EXITS Provide emergency exits and emergency lighting as set forth below: A. Emergency Exits: At each existing exit door from the Work Area provide the following means for emergency exiting: 1. Arrange exit door so that it is secure from outside the Work Area but permits exiting from the Work Area. 2. Mark outline of door on Primary and Critical Barriers with luminescent paint at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide. Hang a razor knife on a string beside outline. Arrange Critical and Primary barriers so that they can be easily cut with one pass of razor knife. Paint words “EMERGENCY EXIT” inside outline with luminescent paint in letters at least one foot high and 2 inches (50.8 mm) wide. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-7 3. Where no natural lighting is present in the Work Area, provide a lighted EXIT sign at each exit or provide battery-operated emergency lighting that switches on automatically in the event of a power failure. 3.4 CONTROL ACCESS A. Isolation: Isolate the Work Area to prevent entry by building occupants into the Work Area or surrounding controlled areas. All other means of access shall be blocked or locked so as to prevent entry to or exit from the Work Area. The only exceptions for this rule may be a waste pass-out airlock that shall be sealed except during the removal of containerized asbestos waste from the Work Area, and emergency exists in case of fire or accident. Emergency exits shall not be locked from the inside; however, they shall be sealed with polyethylene sheeting and tape until needed. 1. Submit to Owner a list of doors and other openings that must be secured to isolate Work Area. Include on list notation if door or opening is in an indicated exit route. 2. Owner will notify building occupants of impending activity and enforcement of restricted access by Owner’s employees. Owner will secure all doors into Work Area. 3. Owner will construct partitions or closures across any opening into the Work Area. B. Locked Access: Arrange Work Area so that the only access into Work Area is through secured access (lockable doors, gates, etc.) to personnel and equipment decontamination units. A logbook shall be maintained in the clean room area of the work decontamination system. Anyone who enters the Work Area must record name, affiliation, time in, time out and personal protective equipment worn for each entry. Access to the Work Area shall be through a single worker decontamination system. 1. Where no existing doors can be used to control access, install temporary doors at temporary barrier with entrance type locksets that are key lockable from the outside and always unlocked and operable from the inside. Do not use deadbolts or padlocks. Padlock and hasp locks may be used when work is conducted within a secured unoccupied building, in order to secure the Work Area the end of the work shift. 2. For existing doors that can be used to control access, and if permitted by Owner, replace locksets or passage sets on doors leading to decontamination units with temporary locksets for duration of the project. Remove any deadbolts or padlocks. Use entry type locksets that are key lockable from outside and always unlocked and operable from inside. After meeting Contractor release criteria set forth in Section 01711 Project Decontamination reinstall original locks, passage sets and locksets and adjust for proper operation. 3. Provide one key for each door to Owner, and Owner’s Representative and maintain one key in clean room of decontamination unit (three total). C. Visual Barrier: Where the Work Area is immediately adjacent to or within view of occupied areas, provide a visual barrier of opaque polyethylene sheeting at least 6 mil (0.15 mm) in thickness so that the work procedures are not visible to building occupants. Where this visual barrier would block natural light, substitute frosted or woven rip-stop sheet plastic in locations approved by the Owner. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 TEMPORARY CONTAINMENTS/ENCLOSURES 01526-8 C. Demarcation: Demarcate the regulated area in any manner that minimizes the number of persons within the area and protects persons outside the area from exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos. Where critical barriers or negative pressure containments are used, they may demarcate the regulated area. The Contractor shall post warning signs at the approaches to containment barriers and at entrances to the containment in accordance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.1101. E. Access: Limit access to regulated areas to authorized persons as defined by OSHA, and to the Owner, Owner’s Project Administrator or a representative authorized by one of these entities. The Work Area is to be restricted only to authorized, trained and protected personnel. These may include the Contractor's employees, employees of contractors, Owner employees and representatives, state and local inspectors and any other designated individuals. A list of authorized personnel shall be established prior to job start and posted in the clean room of the work decontamination facility. Entry into the Work Area by unauthorized individuals shall be reported immediately to Owner by the Contractor. F. Warning Signs: Provide construction warning signs at each locked door leading to Work Area reading as follows: 1. Print text in both English and Spanish. Legend KEEP OUT CONSTRUCTION WORK AREA PROTECTIVE CLOTHING REQUIRED BEYOND THIS POINT 2.

C. Specific Respiratory Protection Requirements: Provide respiratory protection as indicated below as a minimum requirement: 1. Half-mask Negative Pressure Air-Purifying Respirators: Provide half-mask negative pressure air-purifying respirators during pre-cleaning activities, and final cleaning activities, and any preparation activity where workers are in close proximity to or in contact with asbestos-containing materials or asbestos contaminated materials, or potential for exposure to chemicals such as spray adhesive and solvents, or other activities where there has been an “Initial Exposure Assessment” that has determined that airborne asbestos fiber levels will not exceed 0.10 fiber per cubic centimeter (0.10 f/cc). Provide a PAPR where a half-mask negative pressure air-purifying respirator is allowed to any worker who so requests. Upgrading is to be determined by the Contractor's OSHA compliance exposure air monitoring. 2. Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR): Provide PAPR during removal of friable asbestos-containing material or other activity where there has been an “Initial Exposure Assessment” that has determined that airborne asbestos fiber levels will not exceed 1.0 fiber per cubic centimeter (1.0 f/cc).

This section covers the clearance to be conducted by a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) certified Air Monitoring Specialist (AMS) who is to be contracted by the Owner. 1.3 CLEARANCE AIR SAMPLING BY THE OWNER: A. To determine if the elevated airborne asbestos structure concentration encountered during abatement operations has been reduced to the specified level; the Owner’s AMS will secure samples and analyze them according to the following procedures. 1. Aggressive sampling procedures as described below will be followed. 2. PCM samples will be secured as indicated below. B. Following the completion of project decontamination operations, the Contractor shall notify the Owner or Owner's Representative that the Work Area is ready for visual inspection and clearance air monitoring. If Owner or Owner's Representative is not on-site full-time, then a 24-hour notification period is required for the initial inspection. If Owner or Owner's Representative is on-site full-time, then a 2 hour notification period is required for the initial inspection. At conclusion of the abatement action with only critical barriers still in place, an AMS under the direction of Owner shall visually inspect each Work Area and determine whether all dust and debris has been removed. If any such dust or debris is found, the area shall be re-cleaned until no dust or debris is found. If a critical barrier is removed for cleaning purposes, the area behind the critical barrier shall be cleaned and the critical barrier immediately replaced. C. Prior to final clearance air sampling the AMS shall inspect the containment to determine whether the area has dried. Final air clearance samples will not be collected until the lockdown/encapsulant has completely dried and a sufficient settling period has elapsed, as determined by the AMS. The AMS will then sample the air in the Work Area for airborne fiber concentrations for analysis under PCM. Allow 24 hours for sample collection and reporting of results by the AMS. D. The AMS shall collect air samples using aggressive techniques as described in 40 CFR Part 763 Appendix A. This shall be aggressive sampling using portable fans and leaf blowers, to keep the Work Area atmosphere in a turbulent state, except that leaf blowers shall not be directed toward ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 WORK AREA CLEARANCE 01712-2 any known friable ACM remaining in the Work Area. The air sampling shall be conducted using sampling pumps that are correctly calibrated. Workers performing the aggressive procedures and sampling will remain in appropriate protective clothing and respirators at all times. Stationary fans shall be placed in locations where they will not interfere with air monitoring equipment. Fans shall be directed towards removed/abated surfaces. One fan shall be used for each 10,000 cubic feet of workspace. All surfaces in the workspace will be swept with the leaf blower. The number of clearance samples collected shall be in accordance with the regulatory requirements. E. The Owner will arrange and pay for collection of the first set of air samples and analysis by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM). If the first set of air samples (PCM) fail to meet the regulatory standards, the Contractor will be responsible for the cost of additional sampling (subsequent set of clearance samples) until acceptable airborne fiber levels are achieved. F. An action shall be considered complete when PCM is used as the method of analysis and the results show that the concentration of fibers in each of the sample is less than or equal to the limit of quantification (clearance level) of 0.010 f/cc. An action shall be considered complete when Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is used as the method of analysis when each of the concentrations of the five air samples is less than or equal to the filter background level (clearance level) of 70 structures/mm2. 1.4 AGGRESSIVE SAMPLING BY THE OWNER’S AMS All clearance air samples will be taken using aggressive sampling techniques as follows: 1. Before sampling pumps are started the exhaust from forced-air equipment (leaf blower with an approximately 1 horsepower electric motor) will be swept against all walls, ceilings, floors, ledges and other surfaces in the room. This procedure will be continued for approximately 5 minutes per 10,000 cubic feet of room volume. 2. One 20-inch diameter fan per 10,000 cubic feet of Work Area volume will be operated within the containment for the entire period of sample collection. 3. Air samples will be collected in areas subject to normal air circulation away from room corners, obstructed locations, and sites near windows, doors of vents. 4. After air-sampling pumps have been shut off, fans will be shut off. 1.5 SCHEDULING CLEARANCE AIR SAMPLES Final visual inspections and final air clearance monitoring shall be conducted by the AMS during normal working hours (Monday through Friday, from 0700 to 1730 hours). Allow for a minimum of 12 hours for sample collection and an additional 12 hours for laboratory analysis (normal working hours). Samples will not be analyzed on site. Clearance samples will be submitted to an accredited laboratory for prompt analysis. The Contractor shall anticipate and allow for a period of 12 to 24 hours for results to be received after the sample collection period.

Allow time for amended water or removal encapsulant ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIAL 02080-4 to penetrate material thoroughly. If amended water is used, spray material repeatedly during the work process to maintain a continuously wet condition. If a removal encapsulant is used, apply in strict accordance with manufacturer's written instructions. Perforate outer covering of any insulation which has been painted and/or jacketed in order to allow penetration of amended water or removal encapsulant, or use injection equipment to wet material under the covering. Where necessary, carefully strip away while simultaneously spraying amended water or removal encapsulant on the ACM to minimize dispersal of asbestos fibers into the air. B. Two properly functioning airless sprayers (to spray amended water) shall be operation within the Work Area at all times during the removal process. One airless sprayer shall be a low-pressure sprayer suitable for saturating the asbestos-containing material to the substrate. The second airless sprayer should be suitable for misting the air continuously during the removal, thus maintaining a high humidity and assisting in reducing airborne fiber concentrations. If any one of these two sprayers breakdown or malfunction, removal activities shall cease until the sprayer is repaired or replaced with a similar properly functioning sprayer. 1. Mist Work Area continuously with amended water whenever necessary to reduce airborne fiber levels. 2. Remove saturated ACM in small sections from all areas. Do not allow material to dry out. As it is removed, simultaneously pack material while still wet into disposal bags. Twist neck of bags, bend over and seal with minimum three wraps of duct tape. Clean outside and move to Wash Down Station adjacent to Equipment Decontamination Unit. 3. Evacuate air from disposal bags with a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner before sealing. C. Spray asbestos-containing material with an amended water or removal encapsulant. Allow time for amended water or removal encapsulant to saturate materials to substrate. Do not over-saturate to cause excess dripping. Scrape materials from substrate. Remove materials in manageable quantities and control the descent to staging or floor below, if over 20 feet use drop chute to contain material during descent. If using amended water, spray mist surface continuously during work process. If using removal encapsulant follow manufacturer's written instructions. Remove residue remaining on substrate after scraping using stiff nylon bristled hand brush. Use high- pressure washer only with written authorization of Owner. If a removal encapsulant is used remove residue completely before encapsulant dries. If substrate dries before complete removal of residue re-wet with amended water or removal encapsulant. D. If surface of material has been painted or otherwise coated cut small holes as required and apply amended water or removal encapsulant from above. Cut wire lath or other substrate into manageable sections. Cut supports as needed. Remove, cut, roll or fold up complete with ACM and hand place in container. Do not drop on floor. After removal of substrate and ACM remove any overspray or residual on surfaces. E. Cut bands holding preformed insulation, slit jackets at seams, remove and hand-place in a disposal bag. Remove job-molded fitting insulation in chunks and hand place in a disposal bag. Do not drop to floor. Remove any residue on substrate with stiff bristle nylon hand brush. In locations where insulation is removed from piping or equipment with insulated with porous/fibrous glass or other non-asbestos-containing fibrous material, remove porous/fibrous material 6" (150 mm) from the point where it contacts the asbestos-containing insulation. Protect these porous/fibrous ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SPECIFICATIONS TRANSIT CENTER PHASE II PROJECT MAY 31, 2005 WALSH PROJECT NUMBER 5376-010 REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIAL 02080-5 materials by sealing with 6-mil thick polyethylene sheeting.

ACWM with sharp edged components (e.g., nails, screws, glass, metal lath, tin sheeting) or other items that will tear the polyethylene bags shall be placed into drums or other rigid disposal container. G. When Work Area temperatures are below 32oF and amended water is subject to freezing, activities shall cease until temperatures are above 32oF. Dry removal permits and procedures may not be utilized for freezing temperatures. Maintain a high humidity in the Work Area by misting or spraying to assist in fiber settling and reduce airborne concentrations. Wetting procedures are not equally effective on all types of asbestos containing materials but shall nonetheless be used in all cases. H. Material removed from building structures or components shall not be dropped or thrown to the floor. Material should be removed as intact sections or components whenever possible and carefully lowered to the floor. If this cannot be done for materials greater than 15 feet above the floor, a dust-tight chute shall be constructed to transport the material to containers on the floor or the material may be containerized at elevated levels (e.g., on scaffolds) and carefully lowered to the ground by mechanical means. Materials between 15 and 50 feet above ground may be containerized at elevated levels or dropped into inclined chutes or scaffolding for subsequent collection and containerization. I. Containers shall be sealed when full. Double bagging of waste material is required. Bags shall not be overfilled. They should be securely sealed to prevent accidental opening and leakage by tying tops of bags in an overhand knot or by taping in gooseneck fashion. Do not seal bags with wire or cord. Bags may be placed in drums for storing and transportation to the landfill. Bags shall be decontaminated on exterior surfaces by wet cleaning and HEPA vacuuming before being placed in clean drums and sealed with locking ring tops. J. After completion of all stripping work, surfaces from which asbestos containing materials have been removed shall be wet brushed and sponged or cleaned by some equivalent method to removal visible residue. K.
