Asbestos Inspection Reports for demolition — Ignition Park South
Date: April 12, 2011
In the Ignition Park South expansion area, there are currently 41 properties with structures
on them. Most of these structures are houses of varying sizes, some with other out
buildings (garages, sheds, etc), and two with larger warehouse type buildings.
Before demolition specs can be written for these structures, an asbestos inspection needs
to be completed for each of them. To shorten the time frame to get this work done, these
41 properties were grouped by proximity to each other, and a Request for Proposal was
sent to four environmental services companies.
Based on the RFP's received, the three attached proposals were selected for Commission
approval. With three companies working on the asbestos inspections, it will shorten the
time needed to get the demo specs written, the demo's bid out, and ultimately clearing
these properties.
Staff requests approval of the Professional Services Agreements with ACM Engineering &
Environmental Services, Grauvogel & Associates, and Wightman Petrie.

The inspection will begin with a review of the existing building records and
drawings and will include a detailed inspection of all accessible areas. These
areas include those that can be inspected through hatches, pop -up ceilings, and in
open crawl spaces or pipe chases.
It shall not be required to break through sealed walls, ceilings, floors or pipe
chases in order to perform the inspection.
The proposed inspection shall result in the identification and evaluation of
asbestos containing building material (ACBM) observed. The inspection shall
also evaluate the condition of ACBM so that a risk evaluation and priority for
action can be developed in subsequent proposed tasks.
Any suspect materials that cannot be definitely identified as asbestos through
existing building records of asbestos inspections shall be scheduled for bulk
sampling.
2. BULK SAMPLING
ACM will conduct bulk sampling of all suspect asbestos materials. A minimum
of 10 to 25 samples will be collected and analyzed per building.
3. LABORATORY
All bulk samples will be analyzed by our in -house laboratory, which is accredited
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) in accordance
with 40 CFR, Part 763, Subpart F, Appendix A of the Asbestos Hazard
Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Our laboratory achieved a perfect score in
the US EPA Laboratory Quality Assurance Program. Our laboratory
microscopists are graduates of the 5 -day program given by McCrone Research
Institute. All bulk samples are analyzed under polarized light microscopes
utilizing the US EPA's recommended "central stop dispersion staining"
technique. Results include the type and percentage of asbestos fibers identified,
non - asbestos fibers identified, and other non - fibrous materials, such as rocks,
binder, filler, etc.
Our laboratory's internal quality assurance program requires every 20" bulk
sample analyzed be sent to an independent laboratory for comparative analysis.
The US EPA and the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program
(NVLAP) accredit our laboratory.

4. INSPECTION REPORT
An inspection report will be generated per building identifying each homogenous
material, noting the material type, location(s), condition, and whether or not
asbestos was present. In addition, each sample site location will include an
assessment sheet noting sample sites and laboratory analysis. Each entire
building survey sample results will be summarized for easier data retrieval. All
inspection repolls will be submitted to the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission within 30 days of ACM's inspection start date.
5. RISK ASSESSMENT
As a result of the inspection and bulk sampling tasks, ACM will assemble and
document information on the relative degree of risk resulting from the types of
ACBM and their condition.
6. INSPECTION SCHEDULE
The anticipated on -site inspection time period is a maximum of five (5) days. Our
current workload will require five days notice to proceed with the on -site work.
7. BULK SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
Bulk samples will be analyzed utilizing the following methods to comply with
Federal and State OSHA regulations.
a. A minimum of one (1) bulk sample will be collected from each
homogeneous material.
b. Bulk samples will be analyzed for each homogeneous material until a
sample is determined to be asbestos.
c. If a bulk sample is analyzed and is determined to be ACBM, then the
homogeneous material will be classified as such.
d. If all bulk samples are analyzed and determined to be Non - Asbestos
Containing Building Material (NON - ACBM), then the homogeneous
material will be classified as such.
8. ACBM REMOVAL COST
The asbestos removal cost will be developed for all identified friable asbestos
containing material.

The proper language for non - friable ACM materials that could become friable as a result of the
mechanical forces acting upon them during demolition is NESHAP Category UII 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 asbestos -
containing materials (ACM) present; to include friable RACM and potentially friable Category 1/II
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:
• ALL: We will identify and classify all accessible materials.
• ACCESSIBLE: Only materials which are accessible without penetration behind existing walls,
floors and ceilings will be sampled; multiple layers on these surfaces will be sampled.
• ASSUMED: Suspect ACM enclosed behind existing walls, floors and ceilings will be assumed to
be the same material as those portions of the surface or similar surfaces which are accessible.
Our scope of services under this Agreement does not include assistance during the design, bid
procurement or construction phases of the project. We can provide these services on request for an
additional fee once the results of the sampling under this proposal have identified the structures
involved. Our normal scope for these additional services is as follows:
• prepare technical specifications for asbestos abatement, to be incorporated into the Contract
Documents for the project
• review the contractor's procedures and operations for compliance with the Contract Documents
and USEPA, IDEM and DOT regulations, to include: worker training, respiratory protection,
equipment, containment barriers, EPA/IDEM notifications and waste material manifests
• provide post- abatement inspection, for final release of each structure to the demolition contractor
• provide documentation of the asbestos abatement activities to the Owner for record purposes
COMPENSATION
For providing this Scope of Services, Grauvogel & Associates will be paid on an hourly rate basis, in
accordance with the following schedule, plus reimbursable expenses:

The quoted fee for Labor is a fixed amount based on 20 structures, independent of the number of
suspect asbestos - containing materials encountered and samples. The number of structures takes into
account any multiple structures at combined addresses, except as noted for warehouses. This fee will
not be exceeded without prior written justification and approval.
Analyses of samples for suspect asbestos - containing materials (ACM) will be invoiced at the stated
unit costs. The number of suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) per structure based on our
previous experience with structures of similar size, age and construction is expected to average 6 by
PLM per structure. This includes brittle, potentially friable Category II suspect materials. We do not
anticipate the need to sample resilient Category I non - friable materials at this time (floor tile, asphalt
roofing, sheet vinyl). Older linoleum consisting of two separable layers will be considered Category
II and potentially friable if encountered. The actual number of samples needed will be determined in
the field. It is not expected to vary greatly from the number quoted. The Commission will be billed
for the actual number of samples collected.
BASIS OF PROPOSAL
The above pricing is based on the following assumptions:
• Commission to provide ready access to each structure
• Commission to assure that each structure is unoccupied
Ready access includes keys or the typical chipboard or plywood sheeting over doors fastened with
hex head or #2 square drive multipurpose screws. Locked doors either alone or underneath this
sheeting are not considered "ready access ".
IDEM allows the demolition of residences with non - friable Category I and II materials in place,
except when intentionally burned. We propose to assume such materials to be ACM and document
them as such, including their quantities, on the IDEM Notification and in our survey reports.
Although it rarely occurs, severely water - damaged resilient flooring, normally a Category I non -
friable material even for demolition, may be encountered and need to be classified as potentially

friable for demolition. The confirming analysis for this type of material is done by TEM at
substantially greater cost. This analysis is not included in this pricing, and will be brought to the
Commission's attention for action if need be.
TIME OF COMPLETION
from receipt of the formal Notice -to- Proceed to completion of the field survey -- 1 week
from completion of the field survey until submission of the Survey Report and IDEM
Notification -- 2 weeks
This schedule includes the laboratory analysis time. We are normally able to schedule the field
survey within 5 working days of the Notice -to- Proceed.
BILLING and PAYMENT
One invoice will be issued at the completion of the project.

We trust that this Agreement adequately sets forth the terms and conditions between us. If so, please
sign, date and return one copy of the Agreement to us as our official Notice to Proceed. If you prefer
to issue a purchase order, please reference this Agreement.

SURVEYING ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
City of South Bend
April 7, 2011
Page 2 of 5
SCOPE OF SEREVICES
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.
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 friable materials, the
possible presence of non - friable ACMs must also be considered, as during renovation, non -
friable materials may be pulverized or otherwise damaged so as to release asbestos fibers into
the air.
The sampling strategy for any suspect material is dependent upon the application, the area of
coverage and the uniformity of the application. In accordance with the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) 40 CFR 763.83, Subpart E definitions, 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
material used to prevent heat loss or gain and prevent condensation, and includes: pipe
insulation, valve and fitting insulation, boiler system insulation, breeching insulation and tank
insulation. Surfacing materials are spayed on, 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 that are
not characterized as Thermal System Insulation or Surfacing Materials, and include: ceiling tile,
floor tile, roofing felt, cove base and associated adhesive or mastic.
Each suspect ACM (i.e., TSI, S or Misc.) identified from the initial walkthrough of the facilities
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).

The asbestos containing material (ACM) survey will be performed by an Indiana Certified
Asbestos Building Inspector. At any time during the survey, the Inspector can elect to assume
that a specific material is asbestos containing, and thereby forego sampling requirements for
that homogeneous area. Samples, as appropriate, will be collected in general conformance
with the procedures outlined in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986
(AHERA).
Sample collection will involve extraction /separation of approximately 1 to 10 cubic centimeters
of the suspect material, inclusive of all layers present within the material. Only suspect material
samples will be submitted for laboratory analyses. Samples will be sealed in airtight containers,
numbered and labeled, and forwarded to an approved laboratory for analysis by the EPA
recommended method of Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining.
Sampling and analysis of suspect materials is performed in an effort to try and confirm the
presence of asbestos, or eliminate suspect materials as ACMs. Elimination of a material as
ACM for purposes of maintenance, renovation or demolition occurs if: 1. the material is visibly
non -ACM (fiberglass and rubberized materials), 2. documentation indicates that the materials
used in manufacture are non -ACM, or 3. sampling and analysis are performed.
According to OSHA Construction Standards, negative analysis for a minimum of three (3)
samples is required to conclusively determine a material as being non -ACM. In addition, all of
the samples must be from the same homogeneous area (color, texture and estimated date of
installation). Wightman Petrie will attempt, through application of our sampling strategy, to
make a determination of the asbestos content of any identified homogeneous materials for
which sampling is in fact performed (i.e., certain materials may be assumed to be asbestos -
containing).

COST INFORMATION AND SCHEDULE
Wightman Petrie proposes to perform the Asbestos Surveys for the following fees:
Field Services and Reporting $4,300.00
Laboratory Fees $2,000.00
Total Fee $6,300.00
Within approximately one (1) week of acceptance of this proposal, Wightman Petrie can begin
our initial walkthrough activities. We would anticipate actual sampling activities to be completed
over a span of approximately two (2) weeks. Laboratory analysis will be performed on a one (1)
week turnaround from the time that the samples have been received by the laboratory.
Wightman Petrie will provide the City of South Bend with a verbal summary of the results within
two (2) days of receipt of all analytical data from the laboratory. A Letter Report summarizing
the methods employed for the collection and analysis of samples, as well as estimated
quantities and recommendations for additional actions, will be presented within two (2) weeks of
the date of verbal debriefing.
QUALIFICATIONS
Wightman Petrie assumes that immediate access will be provided upon proposal acceptance.
We have also assumed that the buildings will be vacant and that sampling efforts will be
destructive in nature. Please note that our proposal does not include any costs for the rental of
any scaffolding or hydraulic lift equipment to reach high ceilings or areas that would not be
considered as readily accessible by ladder.
Certain "conditions" may escape detection due to: 1. limitations in the scope of this
assessment, 2. inaccuracy and /or limited availability of documentation made available to
Wightman Petrie at the time of the survey, and 3. inaccessible areas. If this assessment
includes a review of documents prepared by others, it must be recognized that Wightman Petrie
has no responsibility for the accuracy of such information.
AUTHORIZATION
Please acknowledge you acceptance of this proposal by signature, where indicated below.
Receipt of acceptance will serve as authorization for Wightman Petrie to proceed. Wightman
Petrie appreciates the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. Should you have any
questions or require additional information, please contact me at (574) 232 -4388.
