1. Project Location & Owner: Cuyahoga Community College-Metro Campus Recreation Center, Arts & Music Auditorium, Media Center & Theater 2900 Community College Avenue Cleveland, OH 44115


A. Contract Documents, forms of agreement, and related contractual documents were

prepared under separate cover for the work listed in this specification.

B. The Work consists of;

1. Removal of all Regulated Asbestos Containing Materials (RACM) in areas that Cuyahoga Community College is planning the removal and replacement of several air handling units, water pumps and pneumatic controls (on HVAC equipment to DDC controls) located within various penthouses/mechanical rooms of the Recreation Center Building, Media Center & Theater Building and Art & Music Auditorium (on the Tri-C Metro Campus) as listed in this section and the project drawings.

2. Removal, decontamination and disposal of asbestos contaminated Non-ACM in all areas.

3. Patch, repair and labeling of any exposed remaining ACM in areas not affected by the project.

C. The Work will be constructed under a single prime contract.

1.03 WORK UNDER OTHER CONTRACTS

A. Separate Contract: The Owner has awarded a separate contract for performance of certain construction operations at the site. Those operations will be conducted simultaneously with work under this Contract in areas of new construction or areas of no ACM. That Contract requires the successful completion of all abatement activities prior to entry of non abatement personnel in affected areas. It is anticipated that the phasing in of construction activities will be coordinated with the abatement contractor as areas are released by the Construction Manager.

B. Cooperate fully with separate contractors so that work under those contracts may be carried out smoothly, without interfering with or delaying work under this Contract.

1.04 FUTURE WORK

A. It is anticipated that after substantial completion of the work of this contract, additional discovery and abatement of various materials may become necessary. The contractor must be prepared to provide additional services if needed at the unit rates listed in the bid form for a period of one year after substantial completion of work.

1.05 WORK SEQUENCE

A. The Work will be completed with each penthouse/mechanical room as a separate unit.

1. Cuyahoga Community College plans to contract with an abatement contractor to remove identified ACM prior to the removal and replacement of the air handling units, water pumps and pneumatic controls.


1.06 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS:

A. The Work of this contract involves activities that will disturb asbestos-containing materials (ACM) or regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM). The location and type of ACM known to be present at the worksite is set forth in the drawings. If any other ACM or RACM is found, notify the owner, other employers and employees about the location and quantity of the ACM or RACM immediately upon discovery.

B. The Bid for Work of this contract is to be on a lump sum basis for the quantities listed and on an add/deduct unit rate basis for discovered or changed quantities. The contractor agrees not to seek payment for quantities in excess of up to 10% of the bid amount. Likewise, the Owner will not seek deductions in the contract amounts for reduced quantities down to 90% of the bid amount. Unit rates will be used for all other work.

C. Trace Materials (asbestos plaster and drywall/joint compound) means the material was

tested and at least one sample from that material type contained between trace and 1% asbestos. These materials are regulated by the OSHA Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101) and require employers of employees who disturb these materials to comply with basic work practices and be monitored for exposure and protected if they are expected to exceed the OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL’s). If exposure readings are below the PEL, only basic material handling requirements need to be followed.

1.07 ASBESTOS HEALTH RISK:

A. The disturbance or dislocation of ACM may cause asbestos fibers to be released into the building’s atmosphere, thereby creating a potential health risk to workers and building occupants. Apprise all workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors and consultants who will be at the job site of the seriousness of the risk and of proper work procedures which must be followed.

B. Where in the performance of the work, workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors,

or consultants may encounter, disturb, or otherwise function in the immediate vicinity of any identified ACM, take appropriate continuous measures as necessary to protect all building occupants from the risk of exposure to airborne asbestos. Such measures shall include the procedures and methods described herein, and compliance with regulations of applicable federal, state and local agencies.

1.08 TRACE AMOUNTS OF ASBESTOS IN MATERIALS:

A. PSI recommends the following work practices accordance with the OSHA Construction Industry Standard:

B. Incidental cutting, drilling, nailing, etc. of the original plaster areas must follow the OSHA modified handling work practices by all trades. (See attached OSHA Interpretation letter dated 8/7/98)


C. All debris can be treated as unregulated construction waste but must be handled and disposed of wet.

D. High-speed abrasive disk saws, dry sweeping, dry shoveling or use of compressed air is prohibited on the identified materials.

1.08 LEAD BASED PAINT HEALTH RISK: E.

F. The disturbance or dislocation of lead based paints (LBP) may cause lead particles to be released into the building`s atmosphere, thereby creating a potential health risk to workers and building occupants. Apprise all workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors and consultants who will be at the job site of the seriousness of the risk and of proper work procedures which must be followed.

G. Where in the performance of the work, workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors, or consultants may encounter, disturb, or otherwise function in the immediate vicinity of any identified LBP, take appropriate continuous measures as necessary to protect all building occupants from the risk of exposure to airborne lead. Such measures shall include the procedures and methods described herein, and compliance with regulations of applicable federal, state and local agencies.

H. All sandblasting work must be performed within the negative pressure enclosures after asbestos final clearances have been achieved. Final clearance of sandblasting operations will consist of washing all surfaces with a TSP solution by the contractor, visual clearance inspection and performance of lead air sampling to achieve values less than the OSHA PEL for lead in construction by the Construction Manager.

1.09 CONTRACTOR USE OF PREMISES

A. Use of the Site: Limit use of the premises to work in areas indicated. Confine operations

to areas within contract limits indicated. Do not disturb portions of the site beyond the areas in which the Work is indicated.

1. Owner Occupancy: Allow for Owner occupancy and use by the public per

drawings. 2. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways and entrances serving the premises

clear and available to the Owner, the Owner's employees, and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

B. Use of the Existing Building: Maintain the existing building in a weather tight condition

throughout the construction period. Repair damage caused by construction operations. Take all precautions necessary to protect the building and its occupants during the construction period.


1. Use of Existing Elevators: use of elevators by the Contractor will be permitted.

This elevator may also be made available to the Owner at specific times; coordinate freight elevator usage with The Construction Manager. Provide protective pads for the elevator car and other appropriate protective measures for the car and entrance doors and frames. During asbestos abatement activities the car is to be protected as set forth in the Division 1 Section on Temporary Enclosures.

2. Smoking: Smoking or open fires will not be permitted within the building enclosure

or on the premises. 3. Toilet Rooms: Use of existing toilets within the construction area, by the

Contractor’s personnel, will be permitted. 1.10 OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS

A. Partial Owner Occupancy: The Owner reserves the right to occupy and to place and install equipment in completed areas of the building prior to Substantial Completion, provided such occupancy does not interfere with completion of the Work. Such placing of equipment and partial occupancy shall not constitute acceptance of the total Work.

1. The Construction Manager will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion for

each specific portion of the Work to be occupied prior to Owner occupancy. 1.11 AIR MONITORING BY THE OWNER:

A. The Owner has contracted for air monitoring. Air monitoring may be conducted both outside and inside of the work area during the work, and for clearance sampling at the end of the project

1. Outside of the Work Area: The Owner's air monitoring firm may 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, c. Contamination of air outside the building envelop with airborne asbestos

fibers. d. Contamination outside of the work areas by airborne lead particulate.

2. Inside the Work Area: The Owner’s air monitoring firm may 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.


B. Work area clearance: Clearance air sampling by the Owner’s air monitor at the completion of asbestos abatement work is described in Section 01711 Project Decontamination.

C. Air monitoring required by OSHA is work of the Contractor and is not covered in this

section. 1.12 SCHEDULE OF AIR SAMPLES BY OWNER:

A. Sample cassettes: Samples will be collected on 25 mm. cassettes as follows:

1. PCM: 0.8 micrometer mixed cellulose ester.

B. Number and Volume of Samples: The number and volume of air samples given in the schedules is approximate. The exact number and volume of samples collected by the Owner may vary depending upon job conditions and the analytical method used.

C. Sample Volume and Sensitivity:

1. PCM: The sample volumes collected by the Owner’s air monitor will be determined

based upon the work conditions, location and material type on a daily basis. a. For purposes of this specification, the sample volume calculated above will

be considered to be of sufficient size so that there is a 95% level of confidence that the value measured by each individual sample at the limit of detection (LOD) is less than or equal to the limit values specified below.

b. For purposes of this specification, the Limit of Detection (LOD) is defined as 7 fibers/mm2 on the filter or 5 fibers/100 fields.

c. For purposes of this specification overloaded samples will be considered as exceeding the applicable limit value.

D. Base Line:

1. Before Start of Work: The Owner will secure air samples to establish a base line. 2. PCM Samples

Location Number Limit Approx. Rate Sampled of Value Volume (Liters/

Samples (Fibers/cc) (Liters) Minute) Each Work Area 5 0.01 <2,000> 1-10

Outside Each 5 0.01 <2,000> 1-10 Work Area

Outside Building 5 0.01 <2,000> 1-10


3. Base Line: a level expressed in fibers per cubic centimeter which is twenty-five percent greater than the largest of the following:

a. Average of the PCM samples collected outside each Work Area b. Average of the PCM samples collected outside the building c. 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter

E. Daily:

1. From start of work of Section 01526 Temporary Enclosures through the work of

Section 01711 Project Decontamination, the Owner may take samples. 2. Sample volume and sensitivity: inside the work area may vary depending upon

conditions in the work area. If samples are overloaded at the sample volume required for a limit value equal to the Stop Action Levels or Immediate Stop Action Levels given later in this section, the level is considered to have been exceeded.

3. PCM Samples:

Output of Pressure 1 0.01 <1,000> 1-10 Differential System

F. Additional samples may be taken at Owner's or The Construction Manager’s discretion. If

airborne fiber counts exceed allowed limits additional samples may be taken as necessary to monitor fiber levels.

1.13 ANALYTICAL METHODS USED BY THE OWNER:

A. The following methods will be used by The Owner in analyzing filters used to collect air


samples. Sampling rates may be varied from printed standards to allow for high volume sampling.

1. Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) will be performed using the NIOSH 7400

method. 1.14 LABORATORY TESTING BY OWNER:

A. The services of a testing laboratory will be employed by the Owner to perform laboratory analyses of the air samples. A microscope and technician will be set up at the job site, or samples will be sent overnight on a daily basis, so that verbal reports on air samples can be obtained within 24 hours. The Contractor will have access to all air monitoring tests and results.

B. The Contractor will have access to all air monitoring tests and results upon request.

C. Written Reports: of all air monitoring tests will be posted at the job site on a daily basis.

1.15 FIBERS AND STRUCTURES

A. Fibers Counted: The following procedure will be used to resolve any disputes regarding fiber types when a project has been stopped due to excessive airborne fiber counts.

1. Large Fibers: "Airborne Fibers" referred to above include all fibers regardless of

composition as counted by phase contrast microscopy (PCM), unless additional analysis by transmission or scanning electron microscopy demonstrates to the satisfaction of The Construction Manager that non-asbestos fibers are being counted. "Airborne Fibers" counted in samples analyzed by transmission electron microscopy shall be asbestos fibers, greater than 5 microns in length. For purposes of stop action levels, subsequent to analysis by electron microscopy, the number of "Airborne Fibers" shall be determined by multiplying the number of fibers, regardless of composition, counted by PCM by the proportion of fibers that are asbestos as determined by TEM (a number equal to, asbestos fibers counted, divided by all fibers counted in the electron microscopy analysis).

2. Small Structures: "Airborne Fibers" referred to above include asbestos structures

(fibers, bundles, clusters or matrices) of any diameter and any length greater than 0.5 microns.

1.16 ADDITIONAL TESTING:

A. The Contractor may conduct air monitoring and laboratory testing. If he elects to do this the cost of such air monitoring and laboratory testing shall be at no additional cost to the Owner. Additionally, only the Owner’s Air Monitoring results will be considered controlling in the event of a dispute.


1.17 PERSONAL MONITORING:

A. Owner will not perform air monitoring for the Contractor to meet Contractor's OSHA requirements for personal sampling or any other purpose.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (Not Applicable) PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 STOP ACTION LEVELS:

A. Inside Work Area: Maintain an average airborne count in the Work Area of less than 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter. 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 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter, stop all work, leave Pressure Differential System in operation and notify The Construction Manager. After correcting cause of high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by the Construction Manager.

1. If airborne fiber counts exceed 2.5 fibers per cubic centimeter for any period of time

cease all work except corrective action until fiber counts fall below 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter and notify The Construction Manager. After correcting cause of high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by The Construction Manager.

B. Inside Work Area: Maintain an average airborne count in the work area of less than the

Stop Action Level given below 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 Construction Manager. After correcting cause of high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by The Construction Manager.

1. If airborne fiber counts exceed Immediate Stop Level given above for type of

respiratory protection in use for any period of time cease all work except corrective action. Notify the Construction Manager. Do not recommence work until fiber counts fall below Stop Action Level given above for the type of respiratory protection in use. After correcting cause of high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by The Construction Manager.

C. Outside Work Area: If any air sample taken outside of the Work Area exceeds the base

line established in Part 1 of this section, immediately and automatically stop all work except corrective action. The Construction Manager will determine the source of the high reading and so notify the Contractor in writing.

1. 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 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 01712 Cleaning & Decontamination Procedures.

c. Require that respiratory protection as set forth in Section 01562 Respiratory Protection be worn in affected area until area is cleared for re-occupancy in accordance with Section 01711 Project Decontamination.

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 the entire area as set forth in Section 01711 Project Decontamination.

2. If the high reading was the result of other causes initiate corrective action as

determined by the The Construction Manager.

D. 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.


3.02 STOP WORK:

A. If the Owner or the Project Administrator presents a written stop work order, immediately and automatically conform to that stop work order, while maintaining temporary enclosures and pressure differential. Do not recommence abatement work until authorized in writing by Owner or Project Administrator.

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 01526 Temporary Enclosures, 01513 Temporary Pressure Differential & Air Circulation System, 01563 Decontamination Units.

4. Maintain all worker protections including those required by Sections 01560 Worker

Protection - Asbestos Abatement, 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 or The Construction Manager.

1.1.1 Drawings and general provisions of Contract and other Asbestos Abatement Project Design sections apply to work of this section.

1.1.2 Work area clearance air monitoring is described in Section 01714 – Work Area

Clearance. 1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

1.2.1 The Owner has contracted the Consultant for air monitoring services. Air monitoring may be conducted both outside and inside of the work area during abatement activities, and for clearance sampling at the end of abatement activities for each work area.

1.2.2 This section describes air monitoring carried out by the Owner to verify that the building

beyond the work area and the outside environment remains uncontaminated. This section also sets forth airborne fiber levels both inside and outside the work area as action levels, and describes the action required by the Contractor if an action level is met or exceeded.

1.2.3 Air monitoring required by OSHA is work of the Contractor and is not covered in this

section. 1.3 AIR MONITORING

1.3.1 Background; The Consultant may sample air in the anticipated Work Area to establish a baseline before the start of work.

1.3.2 Work Area Isolation; The Consultant may sample air outside 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 fibers

B. Failure of filtration or rupture in the differential pressure system

C. Contamination of air outside the building envelop with airborne fibers

1.3.3 Inside the Work Area; The Consultant may monitor airborne fiber counts inside the Work

Area. The purpose of this air monitoring will be 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.

1.3.4 Work Area Clearance: To determine if the elevated airborne fiber counts encountered during abatement operations have been reduced to an acceptable level, the Consultant will sample and analyze air per Section 01714 – Work Area Clearance.

1.3.5 Air monitoring required by OSHA is work of the Contractor and is not covered in this

section. 1.4 SCHEDULE OF AIR SAMPLES



1.4.1 Sample Cassettes; Samples will be collected on 25 millimeter cassettes with a 50 millimeter extension cowl as follows:

A. PCM: 0.8 micrometer mixed cellulose ester

B. TEM: 0.45 micrometer mixed cellulose ester

1.4.2 Number and Volume of Samples: The number and volume of air samples given in this

schedule is approximate. The exact number and volume of samples collected by the Consultant may vary depending upon job conditions and the analytical method used.

1.4.3 The samples volumes collected by the Consultant will be determined based upon the

work conditions, location and material type on a daily basis.

A. For purposes of this asbestos abatement project design, the sample volume calculated above will be considered to be of sufficient size so that there is a 95% level of confidence that the value measured by each individual sample at the limit of detection (LOD) is less than or equal to the limit values specified below.

B. For purposes of this asbestos abatement project design, the LOD is defined as 7 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc) on the filter.

C. For purposes of this asbestos abatement project design, overloaded samples will be

considered as exceeding the applicable limit value. 1.5 BACKGROUND MONITORING

1.6.2 Additional samples may be collected at Consultant’s discretion. If airborne fiber counts exceed allowed limits, additional samples will be taken as necessary to monitor fiber levels.

1.7 ANALYTICAL METHODS

1.7.1 The following methods will be used by the Consultant in analyzing filters used to collect air samples. Sampling rates may be varied from printed standards to allow for high volume sampling.

A. Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) will be performed using the NIOSH 7400 Method.

B. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) will be performed using the method set

forth in the AHERA Regulations, 40 CFR 763, Appendix A. 1.8 LABORATORY TESTING

1.8.1 Samples will either be analyzed on site at a suitable location as provided by the Owner or will be sent overnight on a daily basis so that verbal reports on air samples can be obtained within 24 hours of receipt by the laboratory.

1.8.2 The Contractor will have access to all air monitoring tests and results upon request.

1.8.3 A complete record of all air monitoring and results will be furnished to the Owner by the

Consultant.

1.8.4 Written reports of all air monitoring tests will be posted at the job site on a daily basis. 1.9 ADDITIONAL TESTING

1.9.1 The Contractor may conduct air monitoring and laboratory testing. If the Contractor elects to do this, the cost of such air monitoring and laboratory testing shall be at no additional cost to the Owner. Additionally, only the Consultant’s air monitoring results will be considered controlling in the event of a dispute.

1.10 STOP ACTION LEVELS

1.10.1 Inside Work Area: Maintain an airborne fiber count in the work area of less than the Stop Action Level given below for the type of respiratory protection in use. If the fiber counts rise above this figure for any sample collected, revise work procedures to lower fiber counts. If a fiber count for any work shirt or eight-hour period exceeds the Stop Action Level, stop all work except correction actions, leave negative pressure and air circulation system in operation and notify Owner’s Representative. After correcting cause of high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized in writing by Owner’s Representative.

1.10.2 Outside Work Area: If any air sample taken outside the work area exceeds the baseline established prior to start of work, immediately and automatically stop all work, except corrective actions. The Owner’s Representative will determine the source of the high reading and so notify the Contractor in writing.

A. If the high reading was the results of failure of work area isolation measures, initiate

the following actions: a. Immediately erect new critical barriers as set forth in Section 01526 - Temporary

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 (eg. wall, ceiling, floor).

b. Decontaminate the affected area in accordance with Section 01712 - Cleaning and Decontamination Procedures.

c. Require that respiratory protection as set forth in Section 01562 Respiratory Protection be worn in affected area until area is cleared for reoccupancy in accordance with Section 01714 - Work Area Clearance.

d. Leave Critical Barriers in place until completion of work and insure that the operation of the negative pressure 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 Clean 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 the entire area as set forth in Section 01714 - Work Area Clearance.

B. If the high reading was the result of other causes, initiate corrective action as determined by the Owner's Representative.

C. TEM analysis will be used to resolve any disputes regarding fiber types when a project has been stopped due to excessive airborne fiber counts.

D. 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; TEM charges will be borne by Contractor. The Contract Sum and schedule will be adjusted for additional work caused by high airborne fiber counts beyond the Contractor's control.

1.11 STOP WORK

1.11.1 If the Owner or the Owner’s Representative presents a written stop work order, immediately and automatically conform to that stop work order, while maintaining temporary enclosures and pressure differential.

1.11.2 After being presented with a stop work order, immediately initiate the following actions:

PART 3 – EXECUTION 3.1 NEGATIVE PRESSURE SYSTEM ISOLATION

3.1.1 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 ("Negative Air").

3.1.2 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 0.02 inches of water.

3.1.3 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:

A. Establish required air circulation in work area, personnel and equipment

decontamination units.

B. Exhaust a sufficient number of units from the work area to develop the required pressure differential.

C. The required number of units is the number determined above plus one additional unit.

D. Vent HEPA filtered fan units to outside of building unless authorized in writing by

Owner's Representative.

3.2.1 Air 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.

3.2.2 Air 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 work protection program.

3.2.3 Determining the Air Circulation Requirements: Provide a fully operational air circulation

system supplying a minimum of four (4) air changes per hour.

3.2.4 Determine Number of Units needed to achieve required air circulation according to the following procedure:

A. 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 multiplying this volume by the air change rate and dividing by 60.

B. Air Circulation Required in Cubic Feet of Air per Minute (CFM) = Volume of work area (cubic feet) X Number of air changes per hour 60 (minutes per hour)

C. Divide the air circulation requirement (CFM) above by capacity of HEPA filtered fan

unit(s) used. Capacity of a unit for purposes of this section is the capacity in cubic feet per minute with fully loaded filters (pressure differential which causes loaded filter warning light to come on) in the machine's labeled operating characteristics.

Number of Units Needed = Air Circulation Requirement (CFM)

Capacity of Unit with Loaded Filters (CFM)



D. Add one (1) additional unit as a backup in case of equipment failure or machine

shutdown for filter changing. 3.3 EXHAUST SYSTEM

B. 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.

C. Vent to Outside of Building, unless authorized in writing by the Construction Manager.

D. Air Handling Unit Exhaust: The exhaust plume from air handling units should be

located away from adjacent personnel and intakes for HVAC systems.

E. 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.

F. Window Openings: Window panes which have to be removed temporarily shall be

reinstalled by a qualified tradesman at the completion of the work.

G. Decontamination Units: Arrange Work Area and decontamination units so that the majority of make-up air comes through the Decontamination Units. Use only personnel or equipment Decontamination Unit at any time and seal the other so that make up air passes through unit in use.

H. Supplemental Makeup Air Inlets: Provide where required for proper air flow through

the Work Area in location approved by the Construction Manager by making openings in the plastic sheeting that allow air from outside the building into the Work Area. Locate auxiliary makeup air inlets as far as possible from the fan unit(s) (e.g., on an opposite wall), off the floor (preferably near the ceiling), and away from barriers that separate the Work Area from occupied clean areas. Cover with flaps to reseal automatically if the negative pressure system should shut down for any reason. Spray flap and around opening with spray adhesive so that if flap closes meeting surfaces are both covered with adhesive. Use adhesive that forms contact bond when dry. If makeup air is coming from an asbestos-fiber-contaminated source or potentially contaminated then it should pass through a HEPA filter before entering work area. If air is contaminated with other materials it may also require filtering. If this is done, supply air fans will be necessary to overcome the resistance of the filters. A HEPA filtered fan unit may be used to accomplish this. Caution must be used to insure that work area remains under negative pressure.

3.4 RECIRCULATION SYSTEM

3.4.1 Pressure differential isolation and air circulation in the Work Area are to be accomplished by a recirculation system as described below.



3.4.2 Recirculate air in the Work Area through HEPA filtered fan units to accomplish air circulation requirements of this section.

3.4.3 Location of Fan Units: Locate HEPA filtered fan units so that air is circulated through all

parts of the Work Area, and so that required pressure is maintained at all parts of Work Area geometry. Move units as necessary so that in any location where asbestos-containing materials are being disturbed the discharge from one HEPA filtered fan unit is blowing contamination away from workers. Direct air flow in these locations so that it is predominantly toward workers' backs at the breathing zone elevation.

3.5 AIR CIRCULATION IN DECONTAMINATION UNITS

3.5.1 Pressure Differential Isolation: Continuously maintain the pressure differential required for the work area in the:

A. Personnel Decontamination Unit: across the Shower Room with the Equipment

Room at a lower pressure than the Clean room.

B. Equipment Decontamination Unit: Across the Holding Room with the Wash Room at a lower pressure than the Clean Room.

3.5.2 Air Circulation: Continuously maintain air circulation in Decontamination Units at same

level as required for Work Area.

3.5.3 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 Room. At each opening, the air flow velocity must be sufficient to provide visible indications of air movement into the work area. The velocity of air flow within the enclosure must be adequate to remove airborne contamination from each worker’s breathing one without disturbing the asbestos-containing material on surfaces.

3.6 USE OF THE NEGATIVE AIR SYSTEM

3.6.1 General: Each unit shall be serviced by dedicated circuits with overload device. If an existing building electrical panel is being used it must have sufficient spare capacity to accommodate the load of all negative pressure units connected. Dedication of existing circuits may be accomplished by shutting down existing loads on the circuits.

3.6.2 Testing the System: Test negative pressure system before any asbestos-containing

material is wetted or removed. After the Work Area has been prepared, the decontamination facility set up, and the fan unit(s) installed, start the unit(s) (one at a time). Demonstrate operation and testing of negative pressure system to Consultant.

3.6.3 Demonstrate Condition of Equipment for each HEPA filtered fan unit and negative

pressure monitoring equipment including proper operation of the following:

A. Squareness of HEPA Filter

B. Condition of Seals

C. Proper operation of all lights

D. Proper operation of automatic shut down if exhaust is blocked

E. Proper operation of alarms



F. Proper operation of magnehelic gauge

G. Proper operation and calibration on pressure monitoring equipment

3.6.4 Demonstrate Operation of the negative pressure system to the Consultant to include, but not be limited to, the following:

A. Plastic barriers and sheeting move lightly in toward Work Area B. Curtain of decontamination units move lightly in toward Work Area

C. There is a noticeable movement of air through the Decontamination Unit

D. Use smoke tube to demonstrate air movement from Clean Room through Shower

Room to Equipment Room

E. Use smoke tubes to demonstrate a definite motion of air across all areas in which work is to be performed

F. Modify the Negative Pressure System as necessary to demonstrate successfully the

above.

3.6.5 Use of System during Abatement Operations

A. Start fan units before beginning work (before any asbestos-containing material is disturbed). After abatement work has begun, run units continuously to maintain constant negative pressure and air circulation until decontamination of the work area is complete. Do not turn off units at the end of the work shift or when abatement operations temporarily stop.

B. Do not shut down negative pressure system during encapsulating procedures, unless

authorized by the Construction Manager in writing. Supply sufficient pre-filters to allow frequent changes.

C. Start abatement work at a location farthest from the fan units and proceed toward

them. If an electric power failure occurs, immediately stop all abatement work and do not resume until power is restored and fan units are operating again.

D. At completion of abatement work, allow fan units to run as specified under Section

01711 – Project Decontamination, 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.

3.6.6 Dismantling the System

A. 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. Before removal from the Work Area, remove and properly dispose of pre-filter, decontaminate exterior of machine and seal intake to the machine with 6 mil polyethylene to prevent environmental contamination from the filters.

during the work, and must be isolated from the balance of the building, and decontaminated at the completion of the asbestos-control work.

3.1.3 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.

3.1.4 Construct enclosures to provide an air-tight seal around ducts and openings into existing

ventilation systems and around penetrations for electrical conduits, telephone wires, water lines, drain pipes, etc. Construct enclosures to be both airtight and watertight except for those openings designed to provide entry and/or air flow control.

3.1.5 Size: Construct enclosure with sufficient volume to encompass all of the working surfaces

yet allow unencumbered movement by the workers, provide unrestricted air flow past the workers, and ensure walking surfaces can be kept free of tripping hazards.

3.1.6 Structural Integrity: The walls, ceilings and floors must be supported in such a manner

that portions of the enclosure will not fall down during normal use.

3.1.7 Barrier Supports: Provide frames as necessary to support all unsupported spans of sheeting.

3.1.8 Openings: It is not necessary that the structure be airtight: openings may be designed to

direct air flow. Such openings are to be located at a distance from active removal operations. They are to be designed to draw air into the enclosure under all anticipated circumstances. In the event that negative pressure is lost, they are to be fitted with either HEPA filters to trap dust or automatic trap doors that prevent dust from escaping the enclosure. Openings for exits are to be controlled by an airlock or a vestibule.

3.1.9 Place all tools, scaffolding, staging, etc. necessary for the work in the area to be isolated

prior to completion of Work Area isolation.
