PART 1 - GENERAL SECTION, ASBESTOS REMOVAL SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 SUMMARY OF THE WORK
9.9.9. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND RELATED REQUIREMENTS:
General provisions of the contract, including general and supplementary conditions, apply to the
work of this section. The contract documents show the work of the contract and related
requirements and conditions impacting the project. Related requirements and conditions include
applicable codes and regulations, notices and permits, existing site conditions and restrictions
on use of the site, requirements for partial owner occupancy during work, coordination with
other work and phasing of work. Whenever there is a conflict or overlap of the above
references, the stringent provisions apply.
9.9.2. EXTENT OF WORK:
A brief summary of the extent of the work and non-binding to the contract documents is as
follows:
BASE BID:
Removal and disposal of regulated asbestos containing materials (RACM), Category II
nonfriable ACM and asbestos contaminated elements (ACE) within full. containment,
modified-containment and glove-bag containment. The following material quantities of ACM will
be removed at the Highland Village Apartments located at 1208 Southeast Loop 820 in Fort
Worth, Texas.
Spray-on Acoustic Ceiling Material and Wall Surface Texturing:
ACM was detected in spray-on acoustic ceiling material located primarily in the living rooms,
bedrooms and dining rooms throughout the apartment units. There are ten (10) two-story
apartment buildings and approximately 41,660 square feet of spray-on acoustic ceiling texture
at the apartment facility. In addition, ACM was detected in wall surface texturing located on the
interior walls throughout the apartment complex. There is approximately 167,944 square feet of
the wall surface texturing throughout the apartment complex. A majority of the ACM was
observed to be in good condition. However, several apartments have signs of fire and water
damage. Both the spray-on acoustic ceiling material and the wall surface texturing contain 2%
chrysotile asbestos.
Black Mastic Pipe Sealant
The project requires the removal of asbestos-containing black mastic sealant on fiberglass
insulated 1.5 inch outside diameter chilled water piping in the pipe chases of the apartment
units. There is estimated to be approximately 5,350 linear feet of chilled water pipe with black
mastic sealant in the pipe chases at the apartment facility. The black mastic sealant contains
10% chrysotile asbestos.
Transite Panels:
ACM was detected in corrugated transite side panels located on the cooling tower serving the
apartment facility. There are two (2) transite side panels which comprise approximately 195
square feet. The transite panels contains 30% chrysotile asbestos.
ASBESTOS REMOVAL - 1208 Southeast Loop 820
The Contractor will be responsible for the removal and disposal of any asbestos containing or
contaminated materials in accordanc&with 29 CFR 1926.1101 and the Texas Department of
Health Asbestos Regulations.
9.9.3. TASKS:
The Work in the buildings at 1208 Southeast Loop 820 is summarized briefly as follows:
The PROJECT requires the removal of the materials outlined in Section 1.1.2. The asbestos
abatement will be performed in accordance with these specifications and procedures outlined
on the following page.
Asbestos Removal: The Contractor will use wet methods for all removal operations. The
Contractor is responsible for prompt clean-up and disposal of waste and debris contaminated
with asbestos in leak tight containers.
9.9.3.9 Removal of Black Mastic Sealant on Insulated Piping
The Contractor will use glovebag procedures or a spray adhesive and polyethylene sheet
encapsulation method to remove intact sections of the pipe insulation and asbestos-containing
black mastic sealant. Prior to encapsulation of the ACM, a 6 mil polyethylene drop cloth will be
anchored beneath the removal area and cover an area sufficient to contain tools equipment and
disposal bags of ACM waste and debris. Establish critical barriers over return and supply air
vents and negative pressure filtration within the work area. Details of the spray adhesive
encapsulation procedure are specified in Section 3.2.4. A three-stage wet decontamination unit
will be required in areas containing 260 linear feet or greater. A two-stage dry decontamination
unit wiil be used in areas removed by glovebag or where ACM is determined to be less than
260 linear feet in quantity. The Contractor will conduct a wet decontamination of equipment and
tools before final clearance sampling in the work area.
In areas containing isolated groups of pipe fittings or where the use of the spray adhesive
encapsulation method is not practical, glovebag removal or a modified containment with
negative pressure HEPA filtration may be used. The Contractor shall maintain negative
pressure, adequately wetting the material within the glovebag or modified containment for the
removal of white pipe insulation mastic in the building. The glovebag removal method is
described in Section 3.2.5.
Interior Wall and Ceiling Removal
In order to access pipe chase areas in the apartments the Contractor will be required to
demolish or remove interior walls and ceiling in the building. The Contractor will be required to
provide the necessary equipment to cut and remove clean, uniform sections of the interior walls
or ceiliong generating minimal dust and debris in order to access the ACM in pipe riser chases
or wall chases for ACM removal.
The transite panels on the chilled water tower will be kept wet and removed as whole
components to the best extent possible. The transite panels will be double wrapped in 6 mil
polyethylene or placed in appropriate disposal bags, labeled and sealed tightly.
The spray-on ceiling and wall texturing material will be removed within full containment with
negative air HEPA filtration ACM debris should be adequately wetted prior to establishing
Asbestos Abatement Page 2
ASBESTOS REMOVAL - 1208 Southeast Loop 820
perimeter critical barriers. A three-stage, wet decontamination unit will be erected for worker
entrance and exit into the work area. The Contractor must establish negative air into the
containment and maintain a pressure differential of -0.02 inches of water. See Appendix B
Drawings for the material location. The following requirements must be followed in areas where
negative air and enclosure cannot be established:
• A negative pressure enclosure NPE must be used where the configuration of the work
area does not make erection of an enclosure feasible.
• The negative pressure enclosure may be of any configuration.
• At least 4 air changes per hour is to be maintained in the NPE.
• A minimum of-0.02 column inches of water pressure differential, relative to outside
pressure, is to be maintained within the NPE as evidenced by manometric
measurements.
• The NPE must be kept under negative pressure throughout the period of its use, and
• Air movement must be directed away from employees performing asbestos work within
the enclosure, and toward a HEPA filtration system.
• A competent person must supervise all work and be licensed in Texas, as an asbestos
supervisor.
After the ACM has been removed and the visual inspection completed, final air clearance will
be conducted with analysis by (PCM). Respiratory protection will require powered air purifying
respirators (PAPR) during initial spray-on and wall surface texturing until air.,monitoring can
demonstrate fiber concentrations are below the PEL and STEL. If fiber concentrations are
demonstrated below the PEL and STEL during thermal system insulation removal, half-face
dual cartridge respirators may be used.
The CONTRACTOR is responsible to verify site conditions and estimated quantities of
ACM to be removed.
1.1.4. CONTRACTORS USE OF PREMISES:
Cooperate fully with the Owner's representative to minimize conflicts and to facilitate Owner's
safe and smooth usage of buildings. Perform the work in accordance with specifications,
drawings, and phasing plan.
Use existing facilities in the vacant buildings strictly within the limits shown in contract
documents and the approved preabatement plan of action. Asbestos Abatement drawings
show the representative floor plans for theHighland Village apartments.
1.2. DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS:
The quantities and location of ACM indicated on the drawings and the extent of work included
in this section are only best estimates which are limited by the physical constraints imposed by
occupancy of the building. Accordingly, minor variations (+ 10%) in quantities of ACM within
the limits of containment for each abatement stage are considered as having no impact on
contract price and time of this contract. Locations of ACM different than indicated on drawings
but within the limits of containment are considered as having no impact on contraet price and
time of this contract. Where additional asbestos abatement work is required beyond the above
Asbestos Abatement Page 3
ASBESTOS REMOVAL - 1208 Southeast Loop 820
variations, the contract price and time will be adjusted under provisions of applicable clause in
the contract.
1.3. STOP ASBESTOS REMOVAL:
If the Owner's representative presents a written stop asbestos removal order, immediately stop
all asbestos removal and initiate fiber reduction activities. Do not resume asbestos removal
until authorized in writing by Owner's representative. A stop asbestos removal order will be
issued at any time the Owner determines abatement conditions are not within specifications
requirements. Stoppage will continue until conditions have been corrected. Standby time and
cost required for corrective action is at contractor's expense. The occurrence of the following
events will be reported in writing to the Owner's representative and will require the contractor to
automatically stop asbestos removal and initiate fiber reduction activities:
A. Excessive airborne fibers outside containment area (0.01 f/cc or greater).
B. Break in containment barriers.
C. Loss of negative air pressure (at or below 0.01 inches of water)
D. Serious injury within the containment area.
E. Fire and safety emergency
F. Respiratory system failure.
G. Power failure.
H. Excessive airborne fibers inside containment area (0.5 f/cc or greater when wet
methods are employed).

be written clearly and simply for the workers to understand and use. Provide a copy to the
Owner's representative of this procedure as part of contractor's qualification sheet to be
completed and submitted along with proposal. Maintain an extra copy at the job site for ready
reference by any authorized employee or visitor.
9.7.4. RESPIRATORS FOR ABATEMENT OPERATIONS:
Where a person is or could reasonably be expected to be exposed during abatement
operations to airborne asbestos above 0.1 f/cc or where ACM debris is visible, the following
maximum level of respiratory protection is required:
1. If it is reasonably anticipated that fiber counts generated during abatement will not'
exceed the protection factor of a half-face respirator, and this can be verified by on-site
fiber counts a half-face respirator may be used. If verification cannot be made, a full
face PAPR must be used.
Headcoverings: PAPR respirators will be equipped with full facepieces. Full facepieces will be
worn with either a bonnet-type disposable head cover/hood or with a full head cover/hood which
is part of a fully encapsulating protective garment. Respirator straps will be located under the
Asbestos Abatement Page 16
ASBESTOS REMOVAL - 1208 Southeast Loop 820
hoods. This allows removal of the headcovering prior to showering without disturbing the
respirator (which is worn into the shower).
Exemptions from maximum respiratory protection during abatement operations: When the
abatement contractor has demonstrated to the Owner's satisfaction that levels of airborne
asbestos fibers in the work area are consistently below 0.1 f/cc, a full facepiece or half face
respirator with HEPA cartridges may be used. The Certified Industrial Hygienist will determine
if a lesser form of respiratory protection may be used.
9.7.5. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR RESPIRATOR WEARERS:
Determine whether an employee is capable of wearing and using a respirator. Submit a
certificate for each employee on the abatement job, signed by the examining physician and
stating employee is fit to perform all duties as assigned for asbestos abatement.
9.7.6. RESPIRATOR FITTEST.
Perform a Qualitative fit test (QFT) in accordance with OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1926.1101,
Appendix C, to determine satisfactory fit with any respirator which creates a negative pressure
in the facepiece, such as negative-pressure air-purifying half face respirator. Submit QFT
results for each abatement employee. In the event that a full-face respirator or a powered air
purifying respirator (PAPR) is utilized during asbestos abatement activities a Quantitative fit test
(QUFT) must be performed in accordance with the OSHA regulations.
Routine donning of respirators with tight fitting facepiece requires negative and positive
pressure test to ensure adequate sealing fit. This will be performed by the wearer prior to each
entry into the work area.
Negative pressure test: For negative pressure air-purifying respirators, close off the cartridge(s)
or filter(s) by covering with the palms of the hands. The wearer will inhale gently and hold
breath for at least 10 seconds. The facepiece will collapses slightly without inward leakage of
air into the facepiece.
Positive pressure test: For negative pressure air-purifying respirators, the exhalation valve is
closed off and wearer exhales gently for at least 10 seconds. A slightly positive pressure will be
built up inside the facepiece without any outward leakage of air from the facepiece.
1.8. WORKER PROTECTION:
9.8.9. TRAINING PRIOR TO ENGAGING IN ABATEMENT WORK:
Train workers in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 and the Texas Asbestos Health
Protection Rules and this section. Workers will be trained and be knowledgeable on the
following topics: Methods of recognizing ACM; health effects of asbestos exposure; effects of
smoking and asbestos exposure; activities that could result in hazardous exposures; protective
controls, practices and procedures to minimize exposure including engineering controls, work
practices, respirators, housekeeping procedures, hygiene facilities, protective clothing,
decontamination procedures, emergency procedures and waste transportation and disposal;

Start abatement work at a location farthest from the exhaust units and proceed toward them. If
an electric power failure occurs, immediately stop all removal work and do not resume until
power is restored and all exhaust units are operating again.
At completion of abatement work, allow exhaust units to run as specified under this section, to
remove airborne fibers that may have been generated during abatement work and cleanup and
to purge the work area with clean makeup air. Units may be required to run after
decontamination, if dry or only partially wetted asbestos material was encountered during any
abatement work.
9.10.90. DISMANTLING THE SYSTEM:
When a final inspection and the results of the final air tests indicate that the area has been
decontaminated, exhaust units may be removed from the work area. Before removal from the
work area, remove and properly dispose of pre-filters, and seal intake to the machine with 6 mil
polyethylene to prevent environmental contamination from the pre-filters.
1.11. CONTAINMENT BARRIERS AND COVERINGS OF WORK AREA:
1.11.1. GENERAL:
Seal off perimeter of work area to completely isolate abatement areas and to contain all
airborne asbestos contamination created by abatement work. Cover all surfaces of the work
area to protect them from cross contamination, to facilitate more efficient cleanup, and to
protect the finishes from the asbestos abatement work. Should the area beyond the seal off
limits become contaminated as a consequence of the work, clean those areas in accordance
with procedures described in this section at no additional cost.
1.11.2. PREPARATION PRIOR TO SEALING OFF.
Place all tools, staging, etc. necessary for the work in the area to be isolated prior to erection of
temporary plastic sheeting enclosure. Disable ventilating systems or any other system bringing
air into or out of the work area. Disable system utilizing positive means that will prevent
accidental premature restarting of equipment, i.e., disconnecting wires, removing circuit
breakers, lockable switch, etc.
1.11.3. CONTROL ACCESS TO WORK AREA:
Permit access to the work area only through the PDF. All other means of access will be closed
off and sealed and warning signs displayed on the clean side of the sealed access. Where the
work area is immediately adjacent to or within view of occupied areas, provide a visual barrier
of opaque polyethylene sheeting at least 4 mil in thickness so that the work procedures are not
visible to building occupants. Where the area adjacent to the work area is accessible to the
public, construct a sturdy barrier able to withstand the negative pressure as specified.
Post warning signs at each visual and physical barrier per OSHA requirements. Alternate
method of containing the work area or different definition of the limits of seal-off from the one
shown on the drawings may be submitted to the Owner's representative for approval in
accordance with this section. Do not proceed with any such alternatives without prior written
approval by the Owner's.
