In addition, there are five properties that staff is near closing on, and three that have a possibility of closing on this year, for a total of 11 properties that at some point will need asbestos inspections completed prior to demolition specs being written. Grauvogel & Associates has completed many of the asbestos reports in this area. They have provided a proposal to charge the same price per structure as they have in the past, which when bid out early last year, was the low price. Grauvogel's proposal is $290 per residential structure and $390 for a small commercial structure. If further analysis is needed to confirm asbestos containing materials which may be questionable based on test results, an additional fee of $60 per test will be charged. Of these eleven properties, ten are residential and one small commercial. Based on the above pricing, asbestos reports total $3,290. To fund any additional testing that may be needed, staff requests a not -to- exceed amount of $5,000. Staff requests approval of this Professional Services Agreement with Grauvogel & Associates, to fund asbestos testing on acquired properties in the Ignition Park South Expansion Area. What We Do Today Makes A Difference! 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 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Ignition Park ACM Demolition Proposal — Batch 3 1/09/2012 Page 2 • 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. 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: OR Certified Industrial Hygienist $100.00 IDEM Asbestos Inspector/Planner $100.00 Certified Hazardous Materials Manager $100.00 Reimbursable expenses will consist of laboratory charges and sample shipping/handling charges. Compensation under this Agreement will be allocated as follows: LABOR — Per Structure FEE Asbestos - Containing Materials (ACM) Survey $100.00 ACM Survey Report/IDEM Notification 100.00 Subtotal $200.00 RERN IBURSABLES — Per Structure ACM Analyses PLM: 6 per structure @ $15.00 each 90.00 Basic Fee - Per Structure $290.00 ADDITIONAL CHARGES Commercial Buildings (each): Add $100.00 Category I Flooring on concrete (each) Confirming Friable ACM Analysis Analysis by TEM: Add $60.00 The quoted fee for Labor is a fixed amount based on a minimum of 6 structures, independent of the number of suspect asbestos - containing materials encountered and samples. The number of structures South Bend Redevelopment Commission Ignition Park ACM Demolition Proposal — Batch 3 1/09/2012 Page 3 I w takes into account any multiple structures at combined addresses, except as noted for commercial buildings. 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 H suspect materials. We intend to assume that Category I non - friable materials (resilient flooring, flooring adhesive, asphalt roofing, gaskets) are ACM and do not anticipate the need to sample these at this time. These can remain with the structures for demolition. Older linoleum consisting of two separable layers will be considered Category II potentially friable and sampled if encountered. The only Category I material that will be sampled is resilient flooring attached to concrete, to allow the concrete to be recycled. 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. A confirming analysis for this type of material will be needed and is done by TEM. TEM analysis for Category I flooring on concrete is included in this pricing, but if potentially friable Category I flooring is encountered the need for this additional analysis will be brought to the Commission's attention for action. Although it rarely occurs, occasionally a friable suspected ACM sample shows greater than I% asbestos. In this situation additional confirming samples will be collected in an effort to save the large expense of removing this material prior to demolition. Analysis will be by TEM at the quoted unit price. The number of confirming samples will be determined in the field, based on the material involved.
