Grauvogel &Associates January 9, 2012 South Bend Redevelopment Commission 1200S County-City Building 227 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, Indiana 46601 Attention: Mr. David Relos, Economic Development Planner Subject: Agreement for Asbestos Survey and IDEM Notification Preparation Ignition Park South Expansion — Batch 3 Dear David: Thank you for this opportunity to submit our Agreement for professional engineering and industrial hygiene services in connection with the identification and removal of asbestos- containing materials from the structures listed below. We understand that you have at least six more units for survey, and possibly more. This proposal offers a per unit price based on a minimum of six units. This investigation will be for purposes of compliance with the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( NESHAPS), specifically the regulations governing asbestos in buildings to be demolished. The proper language for these materials under NESHAPS is regulated asbestos- containing materials (RACM), which includes friable ACM and non - friable ACM that could become friable as a result of the mechanical forces acting upon them during demolition. These are referred to as NESHAP Category I and H non - friable ACM. This terminology is used below. SCOPE OF SERVICES Grauvogel & Associates will provide the services of qualified asbestos inspectors, asbestos project designers, professional engineers and support staff to perform the following: • conduct an inspection of each structure to identify the types and quantities of suspect regulated asbestos - containing materials (ACM) present; to include friable regulated RACM and potentially friable Category IM non - friable ACM • collect sufficient samples of the suspect ACM, and provide laboratory analysis by an EPA recognized laboratory to identify the ACM • prepare a summary report of the types, locations and quantities of the ACM • complete the appropriate sections of the IDEM Notification of Demolition and Renovation Operations; provide the Notification in printed and electronic format for the use by the Commission and prospective demolition contractors • identify as part of the survey other materials that will need special consideration for demolition; this will include, but not be limited to fuel oil tanks (above and below ground) and RCRA hazardous wastes (paint, oil, household wastes) Suspect asbestos - containing material sampling will follow the protocol established by the EPA in the AHERA regulations (40 CFR 763) for schools. Although these regulations do not have jurisdiction over these buildings, they present a logical, comprehensive protocol for identification of ACM which gives accurate and reproducible results. Our protocol will incorporate the following definitions: 17660 Fall Creek Drive • Granger, Indiana 46530 • Phone 574.277.4770 • Fax 574.2775281
