1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS

5. Division 02 Section 02 41 19 "Selective Structure Demolition" for demolition of selected portions of the building for alterations.

6. Division 02 Section 02 42 93 "Building Deconstruction" for deconstruction of selected portions of the building for alterations.

1. Clean Fill: Either (1) natural soil or (2) rock, brick, ceramics, concrete, and asphalt paving fragments which are virtually inert and pose neither a pollution threat to ground or surface waters nor a fire hazard.

2. Contaminated Soil: Treated or untreated soil and/or sediment affected by a known or suspected release and determined, or reasonably expected to contain substances exceeding Residential Direct Exposure Criteria or GA Pollutant Mobility Criteria, as these terms are defined in the Remediation Standard Regulations (RCSA Section 22a-133k-1).

3. Hazardous Soil: Soil that is classified as a hazardous waste. Soil is classified as hazardous

environment and in which soil no other substance is analytically detectable.

5. Polluted Soil: Soil affected by a release of a substance at a concentration above the analytical

7. Groundwater Remediation Wastewater: Wastewater generated in connection with investigating

pollution or remediating polluted groundwater or soil. Groundwater remediation wastewater

vapor extraction system; and wastewater generated by developing, testing, sampling, or

purging a well.

B. Type and Quality of Existing Products: Determine by inspecting and testing Products where necessary,

referring to existing Work as a standard.

items at [Insert], [Insert], Connecticut [Insert] and store items in the appropriate location as directed by

1. Observe all existing conditions prior to submitting a bid. Include in the bid, existing conditions and their

impact, particularly to cost and health and safety of workers and occupants, and proper function and

2. The quantities, locations and the extent of work indicated are best estimates, which are limited by the

physical constraints imposed by occupancy of the facility. Consider all aspects of the substrates within

the identified plan area. Material information and quantities were obtained from site surveys. Accordingly, variations (plus or minus 10 percent) in quantities within the limits of the work area are considered as having no impact on contract sum and contract performance period. Where additional abatement work is required beyond the above variations, the contract sum and contract performance period shall be adjusted under provisions of Division 01 of the Specifications.

1. The Contractor is responsible for abating all Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) that is visible and accessible.

5. No attempt has been made to locate hazardous material associated with existing site utilities, though it is presumed that at least some asbestos may be discovered associated with underground piping during the course of site and site utilities work. If and when such materials appear, the Contractor shall notify the Owner, who shall direct additional work outside of this Agreement to assist in cutting up and disposing of same. The Contractor shall assist the hazardous materials contractor(s) with excavating, heavy lifting, and the like at no additional cost to the Owner.

4.1 When the Owner requests the Contractor undertake theresponsibilities for the abatement and disposal of the LBP, then the compensation to the Contractor by Owner for the Work shall be determined by the “Unit Prices” stated in Section 01 20 00 Contract Considerations.

5. Exposure levels for lead in the construction industry are regulated by 29 CFR 1926.62. Construction activities disturbing surfaces containing lead-based paint (LBP) which are likely to be employed, such as sanding, grinding, welding, cutting and burning, have been known to expose workers to levels of lead in excess of the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). Conduct demolition and removal Work specified in the technical sections of this specification in conformance with these regulations. In addition, construction debris/waste may be classified as hazardous waste. Disposal of hazardous waste material shall be in accordance with 40 CFR Parts 260 through 271 and Connecticut Hazardous Waste Management Regulations Section 22a-209-1; 22a-209-8(c); 22a-449(c)-11; and 22a-449(c)-100 through 110.

1. If this facility was constructed between 1950 and 1978, it is likely to have caulk and/or glazing containing PCBs.

2. The [Owner] [Contractor] is responsible for abating all Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Building Materials prior to the start of any Work involving construction, renovation or demolition (if necessary), unless noted differently below or specified differently elsewhere.

1. The [Owner] [Contractor] is responsible for abating all Mold (any form of fungi, including mold or mildew, and myotoxins, spores, scents or by-products produced or released by fungi) prior to the start of any Work involving renovation, demolition, reconstruction, alteration, remodeling, or repair (if necessary), unless noted differently below or specified differently elsewhere.

2. The [Owner] [Contractor] shall conduct all demolition and removal Work, specified in the Technical Specifications Sections of this Project Manual, in conformance with the regulations as specified in Section 01 35 16 Alteration Project Procedures and Section 02 85 00 Mold and Other Hazardous Materials Remediation Specifications.

The [Owner] [Contractor] is responsible for abating all Hazardous Materials, Wastes, and Items and Universal Wastes includingproducts containing Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxic Chemicals” (PBTs) such as Polychlorinated Biphenols (PCBs), Di-2-ethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP), and Mercury prior to the

start of any Work involving renovation, demolition, reconstruction, alteration, remodeling, or repair (if necessary), unless noted differently below or specified differently elsewhere.

2. If a Hazardous Materials, Wastes, and Items and Universal Wastes Inventoryhas been conducted at the facility scheduled for renovation, demolition, reconstruction, alteration, remodeling, or repair, then the results of the inventory are summarized in Division 50 00 00 Project-Specific Available Information, Section 50 30 00 Hazardous Building Materials Inspection and Inventory at the end of the Technical Specification Sections. Under no circumstance shall this information be the sole means used by the Contractor for determining the extent of Hazardous Materials, Wastes, and Items and Universal Wastes. The Contractor shall be responsible for verification of all field conditions affecting performance of the Work
