Show all pages2 walls to access materials typically not inspected during limited surveys for renovation projects. All roofing systems will be cored for sampling and repaired with roofing cement and fiberglass fabric. Please be advised that this process will void any existing roof warrantees and will be conducted only with the permission of the Client. It is assumed that the roof is accessible and in safe condition to perform sampling. If it is deemed by Matrix’s field personnel that the roof is unsafe for sampling, roofing materials may be assumed ACM until further safety precautions (i.e., an ariel lift for access and to allow for safe fall protection procedures) can be provided. The asbestos survey will include the collection of bulk asbestos samples of suspect ACM within accessible areas that may have the potential for impact during demolition activities. All samples will be analyzed for asbestos content using polarized light microscopy (PLM). Non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials that are determined to contain less than one percent asbestos through PLM analysis, such as caulks, glazing, mastics, roofing materials, and roof flashing, will be analyzed for asbestos content using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). All samples will be analyzed by an independent laboratory certified by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Based on our understanding of the proposed scope of work (demolition) and only upon receiving authorization from the Client, a limited amount of destructive sampling will occur during our survey. Suspect material observed or presumed to exist within inaccessible areas will be documented, characterized (if applicable), quantified and assumed to contain asbestos. For the purposes of this proposal, a maximum of 130 PLM (friable), 160 PLM-NOB (non-friable) and 160 TEM samples will be collected for analysis utilizing a 1-week turnaround time. If additional sample analysis is required, we will require written authorization, or the material will be assumed to contain asbestos. Other Hazardous Materials In addition to the asbestos survey, the existing buildings and affected areas of the site will be investigated to determine if equipment, transformers, or light fixture ballasts contain PCBs. This will be accomplished by reading equipment tags and contacting
and affected areas of the site will be investigated to determine if equipment, transformers, or light fixture ballasts contain PCBs. This will be accomplished by reading equipment tags and contacting manufacturers for information on their construction. Many transformers and fixtures are clearly identified whether they contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) either directly or based on the product serial number or model number. In addition to PCB containing equipment, other hazardous materials such as mercury-containing equipment, fluorescent light bulbs, refrigerants, and other stored hazardous materials will be surveyed. An inventory of PCBs and other hazardous materials will be prepared based on the findings of the investigation. It is assumed that painted building materials will be assumed lead-containing, and all construction/demolition activities will follow all OSHA guidelines as well as other lead safe work practices to be outlined in the project specifications. TASK 2 – ABESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS SURVEY FINDINGS SUMMARY The results of the Hazardous Building Materials Survey will be summarized in a Hazardous Building Materials Survey Report. This report will discuss the survey methodologies, the sampling locations and results, and will identify hazardous materials detected in the building structures and affected areas of the site. The report will summarize all work accomplished, and will include (i) all laboratory data, (ii) sketch plans identifying the location of all samples obtained, (iii) summary tables identifying all analytical results, including, but not limited to, detection and friability levels of all ACM/non-ACM, and inventory of other hazardous materials. TASK 3 – HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Matrix will provide a certified Asbestos Project Designer to review the findings presented within each Matrix Hazardous Building Materials Survey Report and provide on-site verification and delineation for the ACMs identified; including multi-layered flooring systems and thermal system pipe insulation located within wall and ceiling cavities. Matrix will prepare the required specifications and bid sheets for necessary asbestos abatement associated with the anticipated structure demolition activities. The construction documents will include specifications in Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format. Construction documents
nt associated with the anticipated structure demolition activities. The construction documents will include specifications in Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format. Construction documents will include requirements for asbestos abatement (removal), waste management, and additional health and safety procedures in accordance with New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. Our costs assume the submission of abatement documents at the 100%
