1.0 GENERAL
1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS
A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary
Conditions and other Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.
1.2 SUMMARY
A. This Section references procedures for the removal of asbestos-containing materials
(ACM) and materials attached to ACM that will be disturbed as a result of the work for the
Code Modifications and Alterations at the Delta Tau Delta facility located at 104 Mary
Ann Wood Drive in Ithaca, New York.
1. The Asbestos Survey report was compiled by an NYSDOL Inspector. Refer to the
Watts Architecture & Engineering Targeted Asbestos Testing Report dated June
14, 2018.
2. In order to determine asbestos content, samples were analyzed by polarized light
microscopy (PLM) and/or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) by an ELAP
certified laboratory.
3. The survey report is intended for design and estimate purposes only, and is in-
cluded to provide bidders with the same information available to the Owner.
4. The Bulk Samples are representative of like materials within the project limits.
1.3 SCOPE OF WORK
A. The work shall include the following:
1. Removal and disposal of asbestos-containing floor tiles and associated asbestos-
containing mastic at designated locations to accommodate replacement of existing
door frames and installation of new bedroom doorways. Remove any overlying
carpeting and/or non-asbestos flooring at the threshold. Refer to drawings AA100,
A101 and A601 for precise locations and extent of abatement. Remove tiles up to
the threshold. Cut tiles to remain in adjacent corridors in neat straight lines as
required suitable for matching replacement flooring.
2. Removal and disposal of asbestos-containing floor tiles and asbestos-containing
associated mastic at designated location to accommodate construction of new
doorway. Cut tiles to remain in the adjacent corridor and room in neat straight lines
suitable for matching replacement flooring and to allow for new construction. The

licensed asbestos abatement contractor employing certified workers in accordance with all
applicable standards referenced herein.
3.2 CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
A. Comply with the standards referenced in Part 1 of this Section.
3.3 AIR SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
A. The Owner shall be responsible for hiring an independent third party firm to perform any
required area air sampling and analysis in accordance with ICR 56.
B. The Contractor is required to ensure cooperation of its personnel with the Air Sampling
Technician (AST) for general air sampling, and testing of each work area after completion
of asbestos work prior to removal of containment barriers.
C. All air samples shall be analyzed using Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) in accordance
with NYSDOL Industrial Code Rule 56 and NIOSH method 7400.
D. At a minimum, turn-around time for laboratory analysis of area air samples shall not exceed
24 hours. The Owner may request an expedited turn-around time for some or all air
samples. Copies of all area air monitoring results shall be immediately transmitted to the
