In case said work shall be stopped by the act of the Owner, then such expense as in the judgment of the Engineer is caused by such stoppage of said work shall be paid by the Owner to the Contractor. GC -23 5. Measurement and Payment 5.01 Quantities and Measurements No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed length, area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided. 5.02 Estimated Quantities grncond.mevepee This agreement, including the specifications, plans and estimate, is intended to show clearly all work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown for the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract, they are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing the proposals offered for the work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract may differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis for payment under this contract is the unit price method, payment shall be for the actual amount of such work done and material furnished. Where payment is based on the unit price method, the Contractor agrees that he will make no claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise on account of any differences which may be found between the quantities of work actually done, the material actually furnished under this contract and the estimated quantities contemplated and contained in the proposal; provided, however, that in case the actual quantity of any major item should become as much as 20% more than, or 20% less than the estimated or contemplated quantity for such items, then either party to this Agreement, upon demand, shall be entitled to revised consideration upon the portion of the work above or below 20% of the estimated quantity. A "Major Item" shall be construed to be any individual bid item incurred in the proposal that has a total cost equal to or greater that five (5) percent of the total contract cost, computed on the basis of the proposal quantities and the contract unit prices. Any revised consideration is to be determined by agreement between the parties, otherwise by the terms of this Agreement, as provided under "Extra Work ". 5.03 Price of Work In consideration of the furnishing of all the necessary labor, equipment and material, and the completion of all work by the Contractor, and on the completion of all work and on the delivery of all material embraced in this Contract in full conformity with the specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the prices set forth in the Proposal hereto attached, which has been made a part of this contract. The Contractor GC -24 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 hereby agrees to receive such prices in full for furnishing all material and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also for all expense incurred by him, and for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to this Agreement. 5.04 Partial Payments On or before the 1st day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a statement showing the total value of the work performed up to and including the 25th day of the preceding month. The statement shall also include the value of all sound materials delivered on the job site and to be included in the work and all partially completed work whether bid as a lump sum or a unit item which in the opinion of the Engineer is acceptable. The Engineer shall examine and approve or modify and approve such statement. gcuco"dnWepx The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the 20th day of the current month the total amount of the approved statement, less 10 percent of the amount thereof, which 10 percent shall be retained until final payment, and further less all previous payments and all further sums that may by retained by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to completion and some unexpected and unusual delay occurs due to no fault or neglect on the part of the Contractor, and Owner may - upon written recommendation of the Engineer - pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage to the Contractor; or the Contractor at the Owner's option, may be relieved of the obligation to fully complete the work and, thereupon, the Contractor shall receive payment of the balance due him under the contract subject only to the conditions stated under "Final Payment ". 5.05 Use of Completed Portions The Owner shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work or such portions may not have expired but such taking possession and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the Contract Documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time, or both, as the Engineer may determine. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer when, in the Contractor's opinion, the contract is "substantially completed" and when so notifying the Engineer, the Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer in writing a detailed list of unfinished work. The Engineer will review the Contractor's list of unfinished work and will add thereto such items as the Contractor has failed to include. The "substantial completion" of the structure or facility shall not excuse the Contractor from performing all of the work undertaken, whether of a minor or major nature, and thereby completing the structure or facility in accordance with the Contract Documents. 5.06 Final Completion and Acceptance GC -25 5.07 Final Payment 5.08 Payments Withheld g) grncond.meuepec Within ten (10) days after the Contractor has given the Engineer written notice that the work has been completed, or substantially completed, the Engineer and the Owner shall inspect the work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed in accordance with the Contact Documents, the Engineer shall issue to the Owner and the Contractor his Certificate of Completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Owner to issue a Certificate of Acceptance of the work to the Contractor or to advise the Contractor in writing of the reason for non - acceptance. Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Engineer shall proceed to make final measurements and prepare final statement for the value of all work performed and materials furnished under the terms of the Agreement and shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay to the Contractor on or before the 30th day, and before the 35th day, after the date of the Certificate of Completion, the balance due the Contractor under the terms of this contract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said performance by the Contractor. Neither the Certificate of Acceptance nor the final payment, nor any provision in the Contract Documents, shall relieve the Contractor of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required. The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on account of: a) Defective work not remedied or other obligations hereunder not done. b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims. c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to subcontractors or for material or labor. d) Damage to the Owner or another contractor's work, material or equipment. e) Reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the contract amount. 0 Reasonable indication that the work will not completed within the contract time.

It is expressly agreed that delay by the Owner in making payment to the Contractor of the sum named in any partial or final statement shall not constitute a breach of this contract on the part of the Owner nor an abandonment thereof nor shall it to any extent or for any time relieve the Contractor of his obligations to fully and completely perform hereunder. 6. Extra Work and Claims 6.01 Change Orders 6.02 Minor Changes eenaawr.ae Without invalidating this Agreement, the Owner may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions to the work; such changes will be authorized by Change Order to be prepared by the Engineer for execution by the Owner and the Contractor. The Change Order shall set forth the basis for any change in contract price, as hereinafter set forth for Extra Work, and any change in contract time which may result from thechange. In the event the Contractor shall refuse to execute a Change Order which has been prepared by the Engineer and executed by the Owner, The Engineer may in writing instruct the Contractor to proceed with the work as set forth in the Change Order and the Contractor may make claim against the Owner for Extra Work involved therein, as hereinafter provided. The Engineer may authorize minor changes in the work not inconsistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in Contract Price. If the Contractor believes that any minor change or alteration authorized by the Engineer involves Extra Work and entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price, the Contractor shall make written request to the Engineer for a written Field Order. In such case, the Contractor by copy of his communication to the Engineer or otherwise in writing shall advise the Owner of his request to the Engineer for a written Field Order and GC -27 6.03 Extra Work genwnd.mnt/epcc that work involved may result in an increase in the Contract Price. Any request by the Contractor for a change in Contract Price shall be made prior to beginning the work covered by the proposed change. It is agreed that the basis of compensation to the Contractor for work either added or deleted by a Change Order or for which a claim for Extra Work is made shall be determined by the unit prices upon which this contract was bid to the extent such work can be fairly classified within the various work item descriptions and for work items that cannot be so classified by one or more of the following methods: Method (A) By agreed unit prices; or Method (B) By agreed lump sum; or Method (C) If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be agreed upon before the Extra Work is commenced, then the Contractor shall be paid the "actual field cost" of the work, plus fifteen (15) percent. In the event said Extra Work be performed and paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost to the Contractor of all workmen, such as foreman, timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, and materials, supplies, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, also all necessary incidental expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits and other payroll taxes, and, a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workmen's Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by any law or ordinance, or directed by the Owner, or by them agreed to. The Engineer may direct the form in which accounts of the "actual field cost" shall be kept and the records of these accounts shall be made available to the Engineer. The Engineer or Owner may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise these matters shall be determined GC -28 • • • 1 • 1 • 1 • 1 • 1 • • 1 • 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 grncondmn//pcc by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined by using 100 per cent, unless otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practicable the terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the Written Extra Work Order. The fifteen (15 %) percent of the "actual field cost" to be paid the Contractor shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field cost" as herein defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work; then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be included in the "actual field cost." No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by the Engineer. In case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the Contractor to involve Extra Work for which he should receive compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written request to the Engineer for written order authorizing such Extra Work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute Extra Work, or as to the payment therefor, and the Engineer insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the work after making written request for written order and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual field cost" thereof, as provided under Method (C). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to arbitration, as hereinbelow provided. 6.04 Time of Filing Claims It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the Contractor shall be in writing and filed with the Engineer within thirty-(30) days after the Engineer has given any directions, order or instruction to which the Contractor desires to take exception. The Engineer shall reply within thirty (30) days to such written exceptions by the Contractor and render his final decision in writing. In case the Contractor should appeal from the Engineer's decision, any demand for arbitration shall be filed with the Engineer and the Owner in writing within ten (10) days after the date of delivery to Contractor of the Engineer's final decision. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the work by the Owner and the acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any claims by either party, except claims by Owner for defective work or enforcement of warranties and except as noted otherwise in the contract documents. - 6.05 Continuing Performance The Contractor shall continue performance of the contract during all disputes or disagreements with the Owner. The production or delivery of goods, the furnishing of services and the construction of projects or facilities shall not be delayed, prejudiced or postponed pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements, except as the Owner may GC -29 6.06 Arbitration gencondm+tbpec otherwise agree in writing. All questions of dispute under this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration at the request of either party to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbiter, otherwise, there shall be three, one named in writing by each party, and the third chosen by the two arbiters so selected; or if the arbiters fail to select a third within ten (10) days, he shall be chosen by a District Judge serving the County in which the major portion of the project is located, unless otherwise specified. Should the party demanding arbitration fail to name an arbiter within ten (10) days of the demand, his right to arbitrate shall lapse, and the decision of the Engineer shall be final and binding on him. Should the other party fail to choose an arbiter within ten (10) days, the Engineer shall appoint such arbiter. Should either party refuse or neglect to supply the arbiters with any papers or information demanded in writing, the arbiters are empowered by both parties to take ex parte proceedings. The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision of any two shall be binding on both parties to the contract. The decision of the arbiters upon any questions submitted to arbitration under this contract shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action. The decision of the arbiter or arbiters may be filed in court to carry it into effect. The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized to award the party whose contention is sustained, such sums as they deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident to the appeal, and if the appeal was taken without reasonable cause, they may award damages for any delay occasioned thereby. The arbiters shall fix their own compensation unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the cost and charges of the arbitration upon either or both parties. The award of the arbiters must be made in writing. 7. Abandonment of Contract 7.01 Abandonment by Contractor In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written notification from the Owner, or the Engineer, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the orders of the Engineer, when such orders are consistent with the Contract Documents, then, and in that case, where performance and payment bonds exist, the Sureties on these bonds shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the Contractor. After receiving said notice of abandonment the Contractor shall not remove from the work any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together GC -30 1 1 1 1 1 1 r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 gcncondrosttepec with any materials and equipment under contract for the work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety on the performance bond, or another contractor in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefor (except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under Section 6, Extra Work and Claims), it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement. • - Where there is no performance bond provided or in case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for, within ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion of the work in either of the following elective manners: 4 - (I) The Owner may thereupon employ such force of men and use such machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the Owner, or (2) The Owner under competitive bids, taken after notice published as required by law, may let the contract for the completion of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case there is any increase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increase shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefor. However, should the cost to complete any such contract prove to be less than would have been the cost to complete under this contract, the Contractor and/or his Surety shall be credited therewith. When the work shall have been substantially completed the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, as provided in Paragraph 5.06 hereinabove, shall be issued. ' A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to by the Engineer as being correct, shall then be prepared and delivered to the Contractor and his Surety, whereupon the Contractor and/or his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement, within fifteen (15) days GC -31 after the date of such Certificate of Completion. In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would have been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this contract; or when the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the owner, then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the Contractor and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the Owner within the time designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials, shall be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety at the respective addresses designated in this contract, provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and his Surety subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety. Such sale may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies, which remain on the work, and belong to persons other than the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners. The books on all operations provided herein shall be opened to the Contractor and his Surety. 7.02 Abandonment by Owner grncond.m,Uryx In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail to comply with said teens within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of work that have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been wrought into the work. And thereupon the Engineer shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said Contractor (at the prices stated in the attached proposal where unit prices are used), the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot be utilized. The Engineer shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance shown by said final statement as due the Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.

The Engineer shall promptly notify the Contractor in writing if either the Owner or the Engineer, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any Subcontractor on such list and does not accept him. Failure of the Owner or Engineer to make objection promptly to any Subcontractor on the List shall constitute acceptance of such Subcontractor. - The Contractor shall not contract with any Subcontractor or any person or organization (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for portions of the work designated in the Contract Documents or in the Instructions to Bidders or, if none is so designated, with any Subcontractor proposed for the principal portions of the work who has been rejected by the Owner and the Engineer. The Contractor will not be required to contract with any Subcontractor or person or organization against whom he has a reasonable objection. If the Owner or Engineer refuses to accept any Subcontractor or person or organization on a list submitted by the Contractor in response to the requirements of the Contract Documents or the Instructions to Bidders, the Contractor shall submit an acceptable substitute and the Contract amount shall be increased or decreased by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution and an appropriate change order shall be issued; however, noincrease in the Contract amount shall be allowed for any such substitution unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in submitting for acceptance any list or lists of names as required by the Contract Documents or the Instructions to Bidders. If the Owner or the Engineer requires a change of any proposed Subcontractor or person or organization previously accepted by them, the Contract amount shall be increased or decreased by the difference in cost occasioned by such change and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued. The Contractor shall not make any substitution for any Subcontractor or person or organization who has been accepted by the Owner and the Engineer, unless the substitution is acceptable to the Owner and the Engineer. 8.02 Subcontractual Relations All work performed for the Contractor by a Subcontractor shall be pursuant to an appropriate GC -33 written agreement between the Contractor and the Subcontractor (and where appropriate between Subcontractors and Sub - subcontractors) which shall contain provisions that: (1) preserve and protect the rights of the Owner and Engineer under the Contract with respect to the work to be performed under the subcontract so that the subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights; (2) require that such work be performed in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents; (3) require submission to the Contractor of the applications for payment under each subcontract to which the Contractor is a party, in reasonable time to enable the Contractor to apply for payment in accordance with this contract; (4) require that all claims for additional costs, extensions of time, damages for delays or otherwise with respect to subcontracted portions of the work shall be submitted to the Contractor (via any Subcontractor or Sub - subcontractor where appropriate) in sufficient time so that the Contractor may comply in the manner provided in the Contract Documents for like claims by the Contractor upon the Owner; (5) obligate each subcontractor specifically to consent to the provisions of this section. A copy of all such Subcontract Agreements shall be filed by the Contractor with the Engineer before the Subcontractor shall be allowed to commence work. 8.03 Payments to Subcontractors genccndmaUapec The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, an amount directly based upon the value of the work performed and allowed to'he Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's work, less the percentage retained from payments to the Contractor. The Contractor shall also require each Subcontractor to make similar payments to his subcontractors. If the Engineer fails to approve a payment for any cause which is the fault of the Contractor and not the fault of a particular Subcontractor, the Contractor shall pay the Subcontractor on demand, made at any time after the Certificate for Payment should otherwise have been issued, for his work to the extent completed, less the retained percentage. The Engineer may, on request and at his discretion, famish to any Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of completion certified to the Contractor on account of work done by such Subcontractors. Neither the Owner nor the Engineer shall have any obligation to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys to such Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required. GC -34 9.

If any part of the Contractor's work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any other separate contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the Engineer any apparent discrepancies or defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor to so inspect and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other contractor's work as fit and proper to receive his Work, except as to defects which may develop in the other separate contractor's work after the execution of the Contractor's Work. Should the Contractor cause damage to the work or property of any separate contractor on the project, the Contractor shall, upon due notice, settle with such other contractor by agreement or arbitration, if he will so settle. If such separate contractor sues the Owner or initiates an arbitration proceeding on account of any damage alleged to have been so sustained, the Owner shall notify the Contractor who shall defend such proceedings at the Contractor's expense, and if any judgment or award against the Owner arises therefrom the Contractor shall pay or satisfy it and shall reimburse the Owner for all attorney's fees and court or arbitration costs which the Owner has incurred. 9.03 Cutting and Patching under Separate Contracts The Contractor shall be responsible for any cutting, fitting and patching that may be required to complete his work except as otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents.

Workers should take extra care in cleaning under fingernails, and should use the provided nylon fingernail brush. 3.4.2.6 After showering and drying off, proceed to the clean room and don street clothes. 3.4.2.7 Personnel entry and exit procedures shall be posted immediately outside of the clean room and inside the work area immediately outside of the equipment room. 3.4.3 Waste container pass out procedures 3.4.3.1 Asbestos contaminated waste that has been containerized shall be transported out of the work area through the waste transfer airlock, or through the worker decontamination enclosure if a separate airlock has not been constructed. 3.4.3.2 Waste pass out procedures shall utilize two teams of workers, an "inside" and an "outside" team. 3.4.3.3 The inside team wearing appropriate protective clothing and respirators for inside the work area shall clean the outside, including bottoms, of properly labeled containers (bags, drums, or wrapped components) using HEPA vacuums and wet/wiping techniques and transport them into the container staging area of the waste transfer airlock, or the shower room of the worker decontamination enclosure. No worker from the inside team shall exit the work area any further than this airlock. 3.4.3.4 The outside team shall wear protective clothing and appropriately assigned respirators. (Note: Outside team workers may wear street clothes underneath their protective clothing.) The outside team shall enter the waste transfer airlock or decontamination 09/01 /95 MASTER SPEC 01999 27 enclosure from outside of the work area, and shall enclose the properly labeled containers (bags, drums, or wrapped components) in clean, labeled, 6- mil polyethylene bags and remove them from the container staging area or the shower room to the outside. No worker from the outside team shall enter the work area any further than this airlock. 3.4.3.5 The exit from this airlock shall be secured to prevent unauthorized entry. 3.5 Removal Procedures, General (Personal Protection as required by Section 3.3 shall be followed) 3.5.1 Clean and isolate the area in accordance with Section 3.2. 3.5.2 Wet all asbestos containing material with an amended water solution using equipment capable of providing a fine spray mist, in order to reduce airborne fiber concentrations when the material is disturbed. Saturate the material to the substrate. However, do not allow excessive water to accumulate in the work area. Keep all removed material wet enough to prevent fiber release until it can be containerized for disposal. Maintain a high humidity in the work area by misting or spraying to assist in fiber settling and reduce airborne concentrations. Wetting procedures are not equally effective on all types of asbestos containing materials, but shall none the less be used in all possible cases. (See Section 3.5.3., Special circumstances.) 3.5.3 Special circumstances (e.g., live electrical equipment, high amosite content of material, materials previously coated with an encapsulant or paint) may prohibit the adequate use of wet methods to reduce fiber concentrations. For these situations, a dry removal may be required. The Contractor will have to acquire special permits, different from those mentioned herein, and inform the NESHAP enforcement agency. 3.5.4 Saturated asbestos containing material shall be removed in manageable sections. Removed material should be containerized before moving to a new location for continuance of work. Surrounding areas shall be periodically sprayed and maintained in a wet condition until visible material is cleaned up. 3.5.5 Material removed from building structures or components shall not be dropped or thrown to the floor. Material should be removed as intact sections or components whenever possible and carefully lowered to the floor. If this cannot be done for materials greater than 50 feet above the floor, a dust tight chute shall be constructed to transport the material to containers on the floor or the material may be containerized at elevated levels (e.g., on scaffolds) and carefully lowered to the ground. 3.5.6 Containers (6 -mil polyethylene bags or drums) shall be sealed when full. Waste material shall be double bagged. Bags shall not be overfilled. Bags should be securely sealed to prevent accidental opening and leakage by tying tops of bags in an overhand knot or by taping in goose neck fashion. Do not seal bags with wire or cord. Bags may be placed in drums for staging and transportation to the landfill. Bags shall be decontaminated on exterior surfaces by wet cleaning and HEPA vacuuming before being placed in clean drums and sealed with locking ring tops. 3.5.7 Large components removed intact may be wrapped in 2 layers of 6 mil polyethylene sheeting secured with tape for disposal staging. 09/01/95 MASTER SPEC 01999 28 3.5.8 Asbestos containing waste with sharp edged components (e.g., nails, screws, metal lathe, tin sheeting), will tear the polyethylene bags and sheeting, and therefore shall be placed into drums for disposal staging. 3.5.9 After completion of all stripping work, surfaces from which asbestos containing materials have been removed shall be wet brushed and sponged, or cleaned by some equivalent method to remove all visible residue. All areas which, after removal, leave exposed ends of asbestos containing pipe insulation, shall be sealed with a bridging encapsulant which has been approved by the Building Owner /Consultant. 3.5.10 Clean up shall proceed in accordance with Section 3.13. 3.6 Gtovebag Techniques 3.6.1 Preparation. 3.6.1.1 The glovebag technique has limited applications and shall only be used where appropriate and where approved by the Building Owner /Consultant. For any removal of ACM requiring more than one glovebag, follow specification 3.1. 3.6.1.2 The work area chap be restricted to unauthorized personnel by posting warning signs and barrier tape on the perimeter. 3.6.1.3 The HVAC serving the work area shall be shut down. 3.6.1.4 A minimum of two persons are required to perform glovebag removal. A third person may be required to assist with supplies. Each of these team members must have received training on the use and limitations of glovebag removal projects. - • 3.6.1.5 Employees shall be trained in emergency procedures should the glovebag rupture. This usually includes wet cleaning and/or HEPA vacuuming procedures and a shower available at a remote location. 3.6.1.6 Never perform glovebag removal on hot pipes (over 150 degree Fahrenheit). This may cause the bag or gloves to melt over the workers' hands and arms. 3.6.1.7 Before any work begins, all necessary materials and supplies shall be brought into the work area. 3.6.1.8 Place a sheet of 6 mil plastic beneath the entire length of pipe to be abated and extending approximately 2 feet to either side of the pipe. 3.6.1.9 Check the pipe where tbe work will be performed. If it is damaged (broken lagging, hanging, etc.), wrap the entire length of the pipe in polyethylene plastic and "candystripe" it with duct tape. Alternately, if the entire pipe is to be stripped, hang all the glove bags first before any removal begins. A common error when doing glovebag work is forgetting that loose pipe lagging several feet or even several yards away from the glovebag work may be jarred loose by the activity. This is one of the common causes of high airborne fiber concentrations during glovebag work. 09/01/95 MASTER SPEC 01999 29 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3.6.1.10 A new glovebag must be used for each section of pipe to be removed. 3.6.2 Removal 3.6.2.1 Wrap duct tape around the pipe where the glovebag is to be attached. This will provide a firm seal for the glovebag, and will also help prevent additional fiber release when the glovebag is removed. 3.6.2.2 Slit the top of the glovebag open (if necessary) and cut down the sides to accommodate the size of the pipe (about two inches longer than the pipe diameter). One brand has a zipper top and straps at each end facilitating installation of the bag on the pipe. 3.6.2.3 Place the necessary tools into the pouch located inside the glovebag. This will usually include the bone saw, utility knife, rags, scrub brush, wire cutters, tin snips and solid encapsulant. 3.6.2.4 Place one strip of duct tape along the edge of the open top slit of the glovebag for reinfonxment. 3.6.2.5 Place the glovebag around the section of pipe to be worked on and seal the top ends together. Next, fold the sealed top flap back and tape it down with a strip of duct tape. This should provide an adequate seal along the top. Next, duct tape the ends of the glovebag to the pipe itself, previously covered with plastic or duct tape. 3.6.2.6 Using the smoke tube and aspirator bulb, place the tube into the water sleeve (two inch opening to glovebag). By squeezing the bulb, fill the bag with the smoke. Remove the smoke tube and twist the water sleeve closed. While holding the water sleeve tightly, gently squeeze the glovebag and look for smoke leaking out, especially at the top and ends of the glovebag. If leaks are found they should be taped closed using duct tape and the bag should be smoke tested again, until no leaks are detected. 3.6.2.7 Insert the wand from the water sprayer through the water sleeve. Using duct tape, tape the water sleeve tightly around the wand to prevent air leakage. , 3.6.2.8 One person places his hands into the long - sleeved gloves while the second person directs the water spray at the work. 3.6.2.9 If the section of pipe is covered with an aluminum jacket, this is removed first using the wire cutters to cut any bands and the tin snips to remove the aluminum. It is important to fold the sharp edges in to prevent cutting the bag when it is placed in the bottom. Use caution to prevent cuts. Some insulation may have wire to be clipped as well. 3.6.2.10 With the insulation exposed, cut the insulation at each end of the section to be removed inside the glovebag. Throughout this process, water is sprayed on the cutting area to keep dust to a minimum. 3.6.2.11 Once the ends are cut, the section of insulation should be slit from end to end. The cut should be made along the bottom of the pipe and water continuously applied. Care should be taken when using the knife not to puncture the bag. 09/DI/95 MASTER SPEC 01999 30 3.6.2.12 Spray all tools with water inside the bag and place back into pouch. 3.6.2.13 The insulation can now be lifted off the pipe and gently placed in the bottom of the bag. 3.6.2.14 Using the scrub brush, rags and water, scrub and wipe down the exposed pipe inside the glovebag. 3.6.2.15 Thoroughly encapsulate all abated surfaces and exposed ends of insulation with an approved encapsulant. 3. 6.2.16 Remove the water wand from the water sleeve and insert the small nozzle from a HEPA-flltered vacuum into the water sleeve. Turn on the vacuum, but only briefly to collapse the bag. 3.6.2.17 Remove the vacuum nozzle and twist the water sleeve closed and seal with duct tape. 3.6.2.18 From outside the bag, pull the tool pouch away from the bag and twist it to separate it from the bag. Or, invert one of the arms so it is outside the bag and place the tools in the sleeve and twist it. Place duct tape over the twisted portion and then cut the tool bag from the glovebag, cutting through the twisted, taped section. In this manner, the contaminated tools may be placed directly into the next glovebag without cleaning. Alternately, the tool pouch with the tools can be placed in a bucket of water, opened underwater, and the tools cleaned and dried without releasing asbestos into the air. Note: Rags and the scrub brush cannot be cleaned in this manner and should be discarded with the asbestos waste. 3.6.2.19 With the removed insulation in the bottom of the bag, twist the bag several times and tape it to keep the material in the bottom during removal of the glovebag from the pipe. 3.6.2.20 Slip a 6 mil disposal bag over the glovebag (still attached to the pipe). Remove the tape and open the top of the glovebag and fold it down into the disposal bag. P ' 3.6.2.21 Twist the top of the bag closed, gooseneck it and seal with duct tape. 3.6.2.22 When all glovebag removal in this area is complete, remove the disposable suits and dispose of them as ACM waste. 3.6.2.23 Using a clean damp rag, wipe the exterior of the respirator and leave the work area. Remove the respirator. 3.6.2.24 Air sampling will be conducted before, during, and after glovebag removal projects to determine if undetected leakage occurred. The number of samples to be taken is left to the discretion of the Industrial Hygienist. Once the area has met the criteria for re- entry by unprotected personnel, the barriers may be removed and re- installation completed. 09/01/95 MASTER SPEC 01999 31 3.7 Stripping of Acoustical Plaster 3.7.1 Preparation 3.7.1.1 All procedures shall be performed in accordance with these specifications. 3.7.1.2 Spray the asbestos - containing material with amended water, using low pressure spray equipment capable of providing a "mist" application to reduce the release of fibers. Saturate the material sufficiently to wet it to the substrate without causing excess dripping. Spray the asbestos- containing material prior to stripping and repeatedly during work process to maintain wet condition and to minimize asbestos fiber dispersion. 3.7.2 Removal 3.7.2.1 All the acoustical plaster in the areas specified shall be stripped to the plaster scratch coat, using appropriate tools and methods. In all cases, asbestos-contaminated materials chat! be handled carefully and deliberately. Agitation of the material is strictly prohibited. The use of high RPM power equipment, pressure washers, or hydro- blasters is prohibited. The scratch coat shall be left structurally sound unless it is to be removed. If asbestos is on metal lath, then the lath shall be removed and disposed of as asbestos waste. 3.7.2.2 All asbestos overspray shall be abated. 3.7.2.3 Where free - standing walls are left in place, all asbestos must be removed from above the wall. 3.7.2.4 After completion of all stripping and abatement work, all surfaces from which asbestos has been removed shall be wire or nylon brushed, wet sponged, and/or cleaned by an equivalent method to remove all visible material. During this work, the surfaces being cleaned shall be kept wet with amended water. 3.7.2.5 Wall board and float material shall be abated in full containment as described in Section 3, General Procedures. 3.7.2.6 Spray the Asbestos Containing Materials with amended water, using low pressure spray equipment capable of providing a "Mist" application to reduce the release of fibers. 3.7.2.7 Removal of Asbestos Containing Materials in Section 3 General Procedures. 3.8 Stripping of Pipe, Boiler and Related Insulation Follow procedures as outlined in Section part 3.1. 3.8.1 All procedures shall be performed in accordance with these specifications. 3.8.2 Stripping shall be done in full enclosure and containment.

Do not use metal shovels to pick up or move accumulated waste. Special care shall be taken to minimize damage to floor sheeting. 3.16.2 Wet clean all surfaces in the work area using rags, mops and sponges as appropriate. (Note: Some HEPA vacuums might not be wet/dry vacuums. To pick up excess water and gross wet debris, a wet/dry shop vacuum may be used. This will be contaminated and require cleaning prior to removal from the work area.) 3.16.3 Remove all containerized waste from the work area and waste transfer airlock. 3.16.4 Remove the cleaned inner layer of plastic sheeting from walls and floors, containerize and remove from the work area. The outer layer of plastic sheeting will remain in place. Any openings, tears, rips, etc. in the outer layer of plastic shall be repaired immediately. Windows; doors, HVAC system vents and all other openings shall remain sealed. The pressure differential ventilation units 'hall remain in continuous operation. Decontamination enclosure systems shall remain in place and be utilized. 3.16.5 Decontaminate all tools and equipment and remove at the appropriate time in the cleaning sequence. 3.16.6 Inspect the work area for visible residue. If any accumulation of residue is observed, it will be assumed to be asbestos and cleaning procedures shall be repeated. 3.16.7 The work area shall be cleaned until it is in compliance with State and Local requirements and any more stringent criteria agreed upon by the Contractor and the Building Owner /Consultant prior to initiation of abatement activities. Criteria for compliance shall be in the form of visual inspections and air sampling. Additional cleaning ghall be provided, as necessary, at no cost to the Building Owner until these criteria have been met. 3.16.8 Following the satisfactory cleaning of the work area, encapsulation may commence. (See Section 3.14 - Encapsulation). 3.17 Encapsulation 3.17.1 After the work area has been rendered free of visible residues, a thin coat of an encapsulating agent 'hall be applied to all surfaces in the work area including structural members, building components, plastic sheeting on walls, floors and non- removable items, to seal in non- visible residue. 3.17.1.1 High temperature components such as boilers and pipes may not permit the application of some encapsulants. 3.17.1.2 If insulation or acoustical materials are to be reapplied to the abated area, be certain that the encapsulant selected will permit good adhesion to the substrate. A small area should be tested before application. 3.17.2 After the encapsulant has been allowed to dry so that no wet areas are visible, as per the manufacturers specifications, clearance air monitoring may commence. (See Section 3.15, Clearance Air Monitoring). 09/01/95 MASTER SPEC 01999 38 3.18 Clearance Air Monitoring 3.18.1 After the encapsulant has had sufficient drying time (See Section 3.14.2), the Contractor shall notify the Consultant/Project Manager that the work area is ready for clearance air monitoring. 3.18.2 The Air Monitoring Technician shall then sample the work area for airborne fiber concentrations. Aggressive air monitoring is to be performed by using a leaf blower to stir up any remaining, unencapsulated fibers prior to air sampling. Additionally, a fan will remain running inside the work area while it is being sampled. 3.18.3 A minimum of 2 area samples from inside the work area and 2 area samples outside of the work area will be taken unless instructed, otherwise by the Consultant/Building Owner. 3.19 Disposal Procedures 3.19.1 As the work progresses, to prevent exceeding available storage capacity on site, sealed and labeled containers of asbestos containing waste shall be removed and transported to the prearranged disposal location. 3.19.2 Disposal must occur at the nearest authorized site in accordance with regulatory requirements of NESHAP and applicable State and Local guidelines and regulations. 3.19.3 All dump receipts, trip tickets, Texas Water Commission Manifests and other documentation of disposal shall be delivered to the Building Owner for his records. A record keeping format utilizing a chain-of- custody form which include the names and addresses of the Generator, Contractor, pickup site, and disposal site, the estimated quantity of the asbestos waste and the type of containers used is recommended. These forms will be signed by the Generator (building owner staff). If a separate hauler is employed, his name, address, telephone number and signature should also appear on the form. 3.19.4 Transportation to the nearest EPA approved landfill 3.19.4.1 Once drums, bags and wrapped components have been removed from the work area, they shall be loaded into an enclosed truck for transportation. 3.19.4.2 When moving containers, utilize hand trucks, carts and proper lifting techniques to avoid back injuries. Trucks with lift gates are helpful for raising drums during truck loading. 3.19.4.3 The enclosed cargo area of the truck shall be free of debris and lined with 6-mil polyethylene sheeting to prevent contamination from leaking or spilled containers. Floor sheeting shall be installed first and shall extend up the side walls. Wall sheeting shall be overlapped and taped into place. 3.19.4.4 Drums shall be placed on level surfaces in the cargo area and packed tightly together to prevent shifting and tipping.
