Project Approach <br />NOVO's AHERA-certified Building Inspectors would perform the fieldwork and prepare the <br />reports. Mr. Richard L. Carlson, Vice President of Operations, would manage the project, <br />prepare the abatement cost estimate and review the documents. NOVO personnel will perform <br />the following: <br />Regulated Materials Investigation <br />Review existing sampling conducted by the Seattle Public Schools (SPS) and NOVO for <br />materials previously sampled. <br />Conduct a walkthrough inspection of the facility to identify friable and nonfriable suspect <br />ACM that are visually apparent at the time of our assessment. <br />Collect and analyze bulk material samples of suspect asbestos -containing building materials <br />identified within the proposed project area. Sample collection would be based on the <br />Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) sampling protocol. <br />Submit bulk samples to an accredited laboratory for analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy <br />(PLM) using the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA's) <br />recommended method (EPA/600R-93/116 (July 1993)). Bulk sampling results are presented <br />as estimated percentages of asbestos (visual estimates by volume) by type (e.g., amosite, <br />chrysotile), as well as types of non -asbestos fibrous materials identified. <br />• Collect representative bulk lead paint chip samples from common building components for <br />analysis. Samples would be analyzed utilizing inductively coupled argon plasma <br />spectrometry (EPA 7420 Method). <br />• Conduct metals sampling as a screening measure for eight EPA Resource Conservation and <br />Recovery Act (RCRA) metals potentially associated with masonry mortar throughout the <br />subject property. <br />• Prepare and submit one electronic version (pdf file via electronic mail) of the written report <br />detailing the findings of our investigation to SPS. <br />Project Design Services <br />• Provide a preliminary opinion of cost associated with the abatement and handling of <br />regulated building materials impacted by each project with updated cost estimates required <br />construction document deliverable milestones. <br />• Prepare professional project design documents for the project to be included within the <br />Project Manual prepared by the Architect including; performance oriented technical <br />specifications, and drawings for the removal, disposal, and/or handling of regulated building <br />materials as required by the planned renovations. We are planning on preparing up to four <br />(4) specification sections: 01 11 10-Summary of Regulated Materials Work including a <br />"good faith" inspection letter, 02 28 00 — Asbestos Abatement, 02 28 10 — Heavy Metal <br />Related Activities, and 02 28 20 — PCB Related Activities. Based on the current scope of <br />work we are planning on preparing one (1) abatement drawing addressing the regulated <br />building materials scope required by the project. <br />C: I USERSIRICHARDCARLSONI DROPBOXICONSULTINGIPROPOSALS12018V 8111 _CITY OF TUKWILAIRFPINOVO PROPOSAL_CJTY OF <br />TUKWILA RFP.DOC <br />
