C%) ' ' } ~j w ~ 4 Dear Dan: Fallowing up on my conversation with Jahn Strauss from the South Bend arnmunity School arparation on February 11 and the infc~rn~a~ion that he provided, a copy oaf which was seat to you as well, I am pleased to present this Agreement for conducting an indoor air quality evaluation and AHA asbestos inspection ft~r the arycrest facility. ~ understand that the impetus for this evaluation ~ the conversion of the larycrest Building far use as a technical high school anal them arc concerns frarn the School ward about these two issues. Since this building is envisioned for use as a school the asbestos inspection roust comply with the Asbestos ~Iazard Ernergency Response ,Act ~AHE~A} regulations, 'his protocol is routine by this tine and used for other classes of building because it is logical and thorough. John has indicated that initially the high school. would occupy the third and fouh floors, but that it could expand to the enure bu~ldxng ~n the future 1f the program 1s successful. y base proposal is for to these two floors because ~ anticipate that the HVA system is isolated by floor and also because the most significant potential asbesta~containing materials present -pipe insulation ar acoustical Master - are probably the same an all fla~ars. phis will reduce e present survey cost while providing useful information far the future expansion. when the expansion a~ccurs the present survey can be amended, l have also included an alternate additional fee far doing X114 flioors at this tine if you desire. ,~nd~~r A~r~ ~~i~y For this evaluation.., I propose to conduct. air sampling far the following potential contaminants to evaluate the indoor air quality. ^ bYOaeroso~s: sampling for airborne viable fungi and non-viable fungi spores as indicators cif biological activity in the area ^ carpet debris: representative n~icra~vacuun~ samples from. impacted carpets will indicate whether unusual fungal growth is occurring ^ ~urf~ce or bru~~ a~rtt+~rial splcs: when needed far species identification ar canfirmatian of maid growth in water darna,ged materials ^ n~~isture: relative humidity readings are a good indicator of the lil~elihaod for present ar future microbial growth carbon d~o~id~e: this is a measure of the fresh air supply, which controls odors and the sensation of {`stale" air, and is usually inversely related to the transrnision of disease 1T~64 ~'al~ reed Drive ~ roger, I~dlana 4653 ~ Piaone "~4.Z7T.~TT ~ +~ Fa~c 74.~77.~~1
