DEMOLITION BID SPECIFICATIONS ADDENDUM POTENTIAL ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS ABATEMENT MONROE CIRCLE APARTMENTS ALONZO WATSON DRIVE, WEST SOUTH STREET, MONROE CIRCLE AND SOUTH TAYLOR STREET IN SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 (Heartland Environmental Associates) To provide clarification with regard to the demolition of the above referenced project site in South Bend, Indiana, it is noted, and as discussed during the pre -bid conference conducted on May 9, 2023, that the potential exists that, during the course of demolition of the townhome structures associated with this demolition, that unquantified, non -friable asbestos containing cement piping may be encountered. These piping materials are potentially associated with utility implements installed at the property and would only be exposed and quantifiable upon demolition of the onsite superstructure and building slabs. 1. These materials are considered non -regulated, non -friable asbestos containing materials (ACMs). These materials are recommended to be removed as part of the planned demolition activities, provided the materials are not subject to sanding, grinding, abrading or any other mechanical operations which may damage the mastic and roofing materials and cause them to become friable. These materials can be disposed of as construction related demolition debris and will not require special abatement. Note that, should these materials be subject to any processes which make the materials friable, abatement of these materials should occur prior to demolition. If abatement of these materials is determined necessary, abatement activities should be conducted by accredited asbestos abatement contractors licensed in the State of Indiana. The contractor will need to coordinate with the Project Manager should abatement be determined warranted. 2. Due to the nature of the potential material, it is recommended that these materials be segregated apart from general construction debris and loaded into a separate container for proper offsite disposal. The services of an asbestos abatement supervisor may be warranted and should be considered to account for the proper manifesting, removal and disposal of these materials. 3. Protective equipment is not anticipated to be needed as it pertains to the removal of unregulated, non -friable ACMs generated as part of this project, so long as the materials are not subject to any mechanical processes that would render the materials friable. 4. Perform work in accordance with all local, state, and federal requirements including, but not limited to, 29 CFR 1926.1101, 40 CFR 61, Subpart A, 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, 40 CFR Part 763, Indiana Title 326 and Title 329, and the requirements specified herein. 5. The Contractor shall ensure that the "Competent Person" conducts an initial exposure assessment immediately before or at the initiation of the demolition to ascertain expected asbestos related concerns that may arise during demolition activities. 6. No monitoring is required as part of the unregulated, non -friable ACM removal project. 7. All generated unregulated, non -friable ACMs shall be removed and disposed of offsite at a regulated landfill as asbestos containing construction debris. 8. The Contractor shall be responsible for complying with the waste manifesting requirements.
