STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 8/2016) PAGE 21 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR Continuing Professional Consulting Engineering Services-Environmental Engineering #BID 20-07-01 Building Inspection and Survey- Buildings are inspected for the presence of suspect asbestos -containing materials during the site inspection. Each observed material is described, photographed, measured and sampling is taken using procedures outlined in 40 CFR 763 and F.S. 255.551-255.565. If plans of the building are not available, GBTS develops a schematic flo or plan for use in describing location and extent of asbestos-containing materials. Each suspect material is assessed by the inspector for its condition, friability and hazard potential. Inaccessible areas are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The inspector will determine if minor demolition is required to access areas such as pipe chases, hard ceilings, or walls to determine the presence of asbestos-containing materials behind these structures. Survey and Assessment Report- After a site survey has been performed and samples of suspect materials are analyzed, a survey report is generated. The report will contain a summary of the results of the survey, classification of asbestos-containing materials by NESHAP category, recommendations for response actions, and cost estimates. Each report will include all documentation produced for the survey, including: site plans, bulk sample numbers and locations, locations of -asbestos-containing materials, photographs of each homogeneous area ad bulk sampling location, and quantities and condition of asbestos - containing materials. Plans and Specifications- For each surveyed building, an Operations and Maintenance Plan and / or Abatement Specification will be provided for use by the Client. Operations and Maintenance Plans reflect the fact that these facilities will be demolished in the near future. Abatement specifications will be prepared as a Master Project Manual, which encompasses all procedures currently used in asbestos abatement. For each building, a specific work p lan is provided which addresses the site- specific conditions. Contract Administration- As required, GBTS will assist our client with all aspects of Bidding from invitation to award. This phase of the work is especially important in obtaining a fair cost proposal from the abatement contractors and eliminating future change orders arising from poor understanding of the nature of work. The performance of the consultant during the pre -bid stage is crucial to resolving any significant difficulties. During this period, GBTS will provide all clarifications to bidding contractors to resolve any technical problems and provide satisfactory answers to questions from contractors. Every effort will be made to assure the contractors understand the scope of work and requirements for the project. Project Supervision/Air Monitoring- GBTS will provide a project supervisor for all abatement / demolition work to be performed through the Client. The project monitor is responsible for coordinating and documenting activities during asbestos abatement, including air monitoring. The project supervisor will remain onsite during all abatement activities and will assure the contractor is performing work in compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations. The project sup ervisor will perform all visual inspections, onsite PCM analysis and final air testing. Final air testing results will be made available to the Client immediately upon verbal confirmation from the laboratory. Final Clearance Report- After completion of the asbestos abatement project, or per purchase order, GBTS will issue a final clearance report to the Client. The report will contain all documentation of the asbestos abatement project including; available project design and history, completed project specifications and work plans, air monitoring results, contractor submittals, daily logs and certification letters.
