A1.10 Proiect Construction Cost Estimatina: A. Professional construction cost consulting services will be provided for this project. Detailed estimates of construction costs will be prepared for the Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Document phases. The costs will be prepared by way of measuring all major components of the work and pricing at unit rates applicable to a cmopletitively bid project in norther Indiana. The estimates will comprise a summary sheet and "details" for all applicable architectural, structural, electrical and site development trades. A 1.11 Asbestos Inspection A. The purpose of the 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. B. The survey will begin with a walk-through of existing structures to document locations of friable materials (easily pulverized) and non -friable materials that may be present. The sampling strategy for suspect materials is dependent upon the application, the area of coverage and the uniformity of the application. There are three (3) types of asbestos containing materials (ACMs): 1. Thermal System Insulation (TSI); 2. Surfacing Materials (S); and 3. Miscellaneous Materials (Misc). Thermal System Insulation is used to prevent heat loss/gain and prevent condensation, and includes: pipe insulation, valve and fitting insulation, boiler system insulation, breeching insulation and tank insulation. Surfacing materials are spayed or troweled on or materials otherwise applied to a surface and include: acoustical plaster, fireproofing on structural members or decking, or on surfaces for the purpose of fireproofing. Miscellaneous or "other" materials are those materials not characterized as Thermal System Insulation or Surfacing Materials, and include: ceiling or floor tile, roofing felt, cove base and associated adhesive or mastic. C. Each suspect ACM (i.e., TSI, S or Misc.) identified from the initial walkthrough will be placed into a group of similar materials identified as a homogeneous area. Homogeneous areas are identified as materials of the same type, color, texture and estimated age of installation. Upon identifying homogeneous areas, representative samples will be collected on a random basis. The number of samples collected depends upon the type of material (TSI, S, Misc.) and the amount of the material, in accordance with the following, based on OSHA regulations detailed in 29CFR 1926.1001). Type of Material Amount Number of Samples Surfacing Materials < 1,000 SF Minimum of 3 samples 1,000 to 5,000 SF Minimum of 5 samples > 5,000 SF Minimum of 7 samples Thermal System Insulation < 6 LF/SF 1 sample required * 6 LF/SF Minimum of 3 samples Misc/Other Any Sufficient to determine ACM/Non-ACM General in accordance with 3/5/7 protocol for Surface Materials Notes: LF — Linear Feet, SF — Square Feet (Exhibit A— Engineer's Services) EJCDC E-500 Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services Copyright © 2008 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC.
