2. Asbestos Inspection Procedures: Work conducted by EAS, Inc. was performed in accordance with industry standard of care and in compliance with applicable regulations and guidelines including Environmental Protection Agency Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (EPA AHERA) and Connecticut State Department of Public Health (CT DPH). The asbestos survey procedure consists of a visual inspection of building materials to locate and identify suspect ACBM which may be impacted by the renovation project. Bulk samples are collected at EAS' s discretion and submitted for analysis. Sampling was core to the substrate. Each sample area was cleaned following the sampling. Photographs were taken of representative sample locations and building material conditions. The investigation, was however limited and therefore performed in a representative manner. No representation is made that the areas inspected do not contain concealed asbestos containing materials. In general 2-3 samples of each homogenous material were collected unless materials were patches or in very small quantities. Samples were analyzed by EMSL Analytical, Inc.. - NY, NY. All samples were submitted directly to an independent accredited laboratory with the sample chain of custody forms. All samples were analyzed by PLM via the EPA 600 / R -93/116 method. Some samples, if inconclusive by PLM, may also have been analyzed by the TEM Gravimetric Reduction method. Representative caulk samples were also subjected to PCB analysis. Samples were submitted in glass jars on blue ice. Samples were prepped by EPA method 3550B and analyzed in accordance with Reference Method EPA SW 846-8082 by York Analytical Laboratories, Inc. - Stratford, CT Section 02080-18 EAS, Inc.
3. Asbestos Removal Considerations: A. An asbestos removal project is required to address caulk and sealant materials associated with the curtainwall system in the Administration Wing, Classroom M & U Wing and Bridge as well as caulk and glaze materials associated with the Gymnasium & Auditorium Wing This work must be conducted by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. All panels, windows and frames containing or contaminated by asbestos - containing materials (ACMs) are to be disposed of as asbestos - containing material (ACM) waste. Additionally, any caulk remaining on brick after the curtainwall is removed at the Gymnasium & Auditorium Wing must be cleaned off as an asbestos containing material. B. Prior to commencement of the curtainwall replacement project, Greenwich School District shall conduct asbestos abatement of pipe elbow cementitious packing insulation and transite acoustical wall panels, as needed, to prevent disturbance to these asbestos - containing materials. C. Our pre-renovation inspection was limited to the curtainwall replacement project and associated scope. Suspect building materials which may become exposed during the replacement project that were not tested must be assmned to be asbestos - containing materials (ACMs) and handled accordingly or tested to prove that they do not contain asbestos. D. Any field conditions which differ from this Inspection Report or Asbestos Material Removal Specification should immediately be brought to the attention of the Asbestos Consultant, LEA Designated Person and I or Construction Manager. E. Close coordination will be required between the asbestos removal contractor and curtainwall replacement contractor as this project involves asbestos material removal. F. CT State DPH must be notified on the proscribed form by the Asbestos Contractor prior to commencement of asbestos activities. Section 02080-19 EAS,Inc.
3. Asbestos Removal Considerations (continued): G. F or the purposes of the Inspection Report and Removal Specification, it is assumed that there will be NO children present in the building for the duration of asbestos activities.

The demolition of non-asbestos materials shall be treated, handled, removed and disposed of as asbestos regulated materials whenever there is evidence or concern that such materials may be contaminated by asbestos or the removal of such materials would cause vibration or disturbance of asbestos - containing materials. B. The Asbestos Consultant shall determine whether work causes asbestos, assumed asbestos or asbestos debris to be disturbed. If so, work shall be conducted as asbestos work not demolition. C. The Contractor shall be responsible for the following general requirements: 1. Obtain and post all permits as required. 2. Provide, erect, and maintain all planking, scaffolding, shoring, barricades, and warning signs as requested to complete the scope of work for this project, including hard wall tunnels to allow building occupants to safely exit the building 3. Unless otherwise specified, all equipment, fixtures, piping and debris resulting from demolition and not scheduled to be saved and reinstalled shall become the property of the Contractor and removed from the premises and properly disposed of. 4. Material or equipment to be reset shall be removed with the utmost care to prevent damage of any kind. All material to be reused shall be stored in the existing building, but not in the asbestos work area. Any such items deemed contaminated with asbestos shall be cleaned by the Contractor if not porous until acceptable to the Owner's Representative. Section 02080-31 EAS,Inc.
2.2 SCOPE OF WORK (continued) SECTION 02080 D. It shall be the responsibility ofthe Contractor to protect and preserve in operating condition all utilities traversing the building and site. Damage to any utility due to work under this contract shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Owner at no cost to the Owner. E. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to protect landscaping plants, trees and flowers from damage caused by contractor equipment, materials and work methods. Damage to landscaping due to work under this contract shall be repaired or replaced to the satisfaction of the Owner at no cost to the Owner unless the owner calls for the removal oflandscaping plants, trees and flowers. F. The Owner will retain an Asbestos Consultant - Project Monitor for the School District's own interests. The Project Monitor shall be on site during asbestos work as directed by the Owner. The Consultant shall not conduct any testing for the Contractor. G. Deviations from this Specification or accompanying Drawings require the Owner's written approval. H. The Contractor shall supply all labor, materials, equipment services, insurance (including asbestos insurance) and incidentals which are necessary to perform the work in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and these specifications. I. The Contractor shall provide and install fire extinguishers at each decontamination enclosure and in each work area. J. During the progress of work, various areas of the building may be occupied by others. The Abatement Contractor will be responsible for verifying interior conditions prior to the commencement of any work and documenting any damage or previous condition that may affect new work. Any additional damage, which occurs during construction, will be the responsibility of the Contractor to be corrected at no charge to the Owner. Section 02080-32 EAS, Inc.
2.2 SCOPE OF WORK (continued) SECTION 02080 K. The Contractor is responsible for posting proper notifications, barriers and signs that may be required to prevent access of unauthorized persons to areas undergoing asbestos removal activities. L. The Contractor shall be responsible for all isolation barriers to separate the exterior work area from the interior of the building for the duration of asbestos work. The isolation barriers may be constructed out of plastic sheeting sealed in place from the underside of the deck above the ceiling tiles to the floor surface including walls in a manner that is air-tight and prevents dust intrusion. To allow access onto the work area side of the isolation barrier from the inside of the building, zippers or other equivalent methods may be used. Zippers may be reused from room to room. M. There is no Alternative Work Practice (A WP) or Occupancy Variance required for this asbestos abatement project in order for compliance with regulations. Convenience A WPs intended to save the Contractor money but which are not needed to comply with regulations, are the Contractor's responsibility. Convenience A WPs must still be prepared by a CT State DPH licensed Asbestos Project Designer and be reviewed and approved by the Asbestos Consultant before their approval for use at this asbestos abatement project. N. If it is determined that an Occupancy Variance is required for this project because of child occupancy in the school building during the asbestos project, it is the Contractor's responsibility to comply with ALL conditions of the Approved Occupancy Variance as part of their base bid price. Section 02080-33 EAS, Inc.
2.2 SCOPE OF WORK (continued) SECTION 02080 CURT~ALLREPLACEMENTPROJECT O. All asbestos work must be conducted as exterior work with air-tight and dust isolation -tight barriers in place separating the work area from the interior of the school building. The isolation barrier must be sealed from the underside of the roof deck to the floor and to walls. Ceiling tiles must be removed to gain access to the underside of the roof. The ceiling tiles may be removed as non-asbestos. P. All asbestos work must be conducted by hand tools as apposed to power tools to ensure they remain non-friable. The use of power tools to cut or grind asbestos will render the asbestos material friable and increase the likeli1lood of visible emissions. Visible emissions will require the use of full negative pressure containments with HEP A equipped negative air units to contain asbestos debris and dust to prevent visible emissions with manometers to verify the negative pressure reading. Section 02080-34 EAS, Inc.
2.3 DESCRIPTION OF WORK SECTION 02080 WESTERN Iv1IDDLE SCHOOL A. The asbestos removal work required for this project consists ofthe removal and disposal of: 1. Administration Wing: a. Curtainwall System Asbestos - Containing Materials: 1. Caulk (beige and soft) associated with metal frames at mullions under metal covers (visible from inside the building after the mullion covers are removed) 2. Tar sealant (black, soft and sticky) associated between panels and metal frames (visible from inside the building) All curtainwall components contaminated by asbestos materials must be disposed of as asbestos waste. 2. Classroom M & U Wing: a. Curtainwall System Asbestos - Containing Materials: 1. Caulk (beige and soft) associated with metal frames at mullions under metal covers (visible from inside the building after the mullion covers are removed) 2. Tar sealant (black and soft) associated between panels and metal frames (visible from inside the building) 3. Caulk (beige and soft) between curtainwall and metal columns (located on the West Wing side of the Classroom Wing outside the building) All curtainwall components contaminated by asbestos materials must be disposed of as asbestos waste. Section 02080-35 EAS, Inc.
2.3 DESCRIPTION OF WORK (continued) A. The asbestos removal work required for this project consists of the removal and disposal of (continued): 3. Gymnasium & Auditorium Wing: a. Curtainwall System Asbestos - Containing Materials: 1. Caulk (beige and brittle) on seams of curtainwall panels (visible from outside the building) 2. Caulk (beige and brittle) between brick walls and curtainwall mullions and door frames (visible from outside the building) 3. Glaze (white and brittle) between window glass and metal frames (visible from outside and inside the building) All curtainwall components contaminated by asbestos materials must be disposed of as asbestos waste. 4. Bridge: a. Curtainwall System Asbestos - Containing Materials: 1. Caulk materials on the curtain wall system are presumed asbestos - containing materials (ACM) unless tested and proven negative by laboratory analysis. All curtainwall components contaminated by asbestos materials must be disposed of as asbestos waste. Section 02080-36 EAS, Inc.
2.3 DESCRIPTION OF WORK (continued) B. The following materials were determined to be non asbestos - containing materials (non ACMs) and therefore need not be removed or disposed of as asbestos: 1. Ceiling tiles which were tested during this inspection. 2. Floor tiles (all replacement including mastic following historical asbestos abatement) 3. Other visible exposed caulk materials not listed above which were tested during this inspection (refer to the Asbestos Inspection Report Bulk Sample Results Tables contained herein). However, if previously inaccessible suspect asbestos materials such as caulks or adhesives become exposed during renovation, they must be assumed asbestos or be tested by the Asbestos Consultant to rule out asbestos. C. The following asbestos - containing materials (ACMs) will be abated (removed) by Greenwich School District prior to the commencement of the curtainwall replacement work as the project may cause disturbance to these asbestos - containing materials: 1. Pipe elbow cementitious packing insulation between the radiators and curtainwall in the Administration Wing 2. Pipe elbow cementitious packing insulation above the hung ceiling near the curtainwall in the Classroom M & U Wing 3. Pipe elbow cementitious packing insulation located near the curtainwall in the Gymnasium / Auditorium Wing 4. Transite acoustical wall panels located on or adjoining the curtainwall in the Gymnasium / Auditorium Wing in the two (2) music classrooms and office. Section 02080-37 EAS, Inc.
2.3 DESCRlPTION OF WORK (continued) D. The Architect's curtainwall replacement specifications and drawings should be carefully consulted for a specific listing of existing work areas for curtainwall removal. If there is conflict between the Asbestos Consultant and Architects drawings or specifications regarding component removal - the Architects drawings and specifications take precedence. E. All curtainwall components including windows, frames and panels containing asbestos or contaminated by asbestos shall be disposed of as asbestos regulated waste. No open waste containers are permitted for storage on site. Open waste containers must be sealed end of shift with hard covering wrapped with 2 layers of plastic sheeting or tarps to render air tight, water tight and secure. F. No asbestos debris in soil was observed during the inspection. If soil, walkways, building interiors are not effectively isolated and protected from asbestos debris and asbestos contamination is confmned by visual inspection and / or testing during or following work, the Contractor shall be responsible for all associated clean-up / decontamination / replacement costs. G. Work areas where asbestos components are being removed without abrasive abatement / cleaning methods that would render the asbestos materials friable may do so without negative pressure containments as long as visible emissions or uncontrolled dust / debris is not generated. H. Work areas where asbestos components are not removed in a non-friable condition and where abrasive abatement / cleaning methods such as but not limited to grinding must do so with negative pressure containments. 1. Any loss of negative pressure / containment breech into the interior of the school shall be handled as a fiber release episode and containment, pressurization, cleanup and testing shall be conducted in accordance with EPA AHERA, CT State DPH and the Asbestos Consultant's directives. Air testing, bulk testing, dust testing and / or visual inspection may be conducted by the Asbestos Consultant to determine whether the fiber release episode occurred. Section 02080-38 EAS, Inc.
