i 1 City of South Bend Community and Economic Development 227 W. Jefferson Blvd., Suite 1200 S South Bend, Indiana 46601 July 1, 2011 Attention: Mr. David Relos, Economic Development Planner RE: PROPOSAL FOR ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS SURVEYS PRIOR TO DEMOLITION, CITY OWNED PROPERTY, 109 -111 N. TAYLOR STREET, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, PROPOSAL WP11 -029 Dear Mr. Relos: Wightman Petrie is pleased to submit this proposal to provide Asbestos Containing Materials Surveys for City of South Bend owned property located at 109 -111 N. Taylor Street in South Bend, Indiana. The subject site, also identified as Tax Parcel 018 - 1024 - 105601, consists of approximately 0.13 acres of land that has been developed with a one story, wood - framed building with concrete block foundation and basement, and having brick veneer. The subject site building was most recently used as a janitorial supply company prior to purchase by the City of South Bend. It is our understanding that the City of South Bend will be undertaking demolition of the existing structure for the purpose of facilitating potential redevelopment that is already occurring within the same general area. The State of Indiana requires that prior to the demolition of any structure, an asbestos survey must be performed relative to the potential presence of asbestos containing building materials. SCOPE OF SEREVICES The purpose of an asbestos inspection is identification of the presence of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) in accordance with the National Emission Standard of a Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP) for Asbestos 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, and 326 IAC 14 -10, Emission Standards for Asbestos; Demolition and Renovation Operations. The survey of the property for ACMs will begin with a walk- through of the existing structures to document locations of friable and non - friable materials that may be present. Friable materials are those that can be pulverized or reduced to powder by moderate pressure, such as spray applied fireproofing and acoustical materials, ceiling tiles and most thermal system insulation. Non - friable materials are those that cannot be crumbled easily, such as resilient floor tiles and cement asbestos (Transite) board. Although emphasis is on detecting frig aterials, the possible presence of non - friable ACMs must also be considered, as during renova n, ble materials may be pulverized or otherwise damaged so as to release asbestos fiber 'nt th air.
