Chemical Releases See Hazardous Materials above.
If the event of a hazardous material release, you must:
- Immediately remove personnel from the area or building following City evacuation procedures.
- Immediately contact the designated City representative and inform him or her of the release. You may also activate an emergency alarm in the area. If no City employees are on-site, immediately contact the local fire department.
Contractor personnel should not respond to the release unless specifically trained and protected to perform hazardous material response.
Power Outages In the event of a power outage, you must:
- Immediately stop work and assemble for a head count and possible facility egress. - Inform all contract employees that equipment may automatically restart when power resumes.
- Immediately contact the designated City representative and inform him or her of the status of contract work and personnel head count. Relay at this time all hazards created due to the power outage.
When power resumes evaluate the status of operations that were being performed relative to hazard potential. For example, the interruption of ventilation in confined spaces may generate atmospheric hazards.
Accident Investigation
and Reporting
As soon as is practical after an accident, investigate and document an accident investigation. The documentation must describe the incident and identify the causes and the corrective actions that will prevent future incidents.

GARDENA FS#158 Roof Replacement – Ceiling Rehab Phase 02 8200 - 18
1. Glove bags shall be installed so that they completely cover the piping and other structures where asbestos wor k is to be done. Glove bags shall be installed by cutting the sides of the glove bag to fit the size of pipe or opening from which asbestos is to be removed. The glove bag is attached to the pipe by folding the open edges together and securely sealing them with tape. All openings in the glove bag must be sealed with duct tape or equivalent material. The bottom seam of the glove bag must also be sealed with duct tape or equi valent to prevent any leakage fro m the bag that may result from a defect in the bottom seam.
2. Asbestos-containing pipe insulation shall be th oroughly wet with amended water.
3. Asbestos-containing pipe insulation contained within the glove bag shall be removed manually, utilizing appropriate hand tools.
4. The removed asbestos waste and other structures that have fallen into the enclosed bag must be maintained in a wet state.

After re moval of the asbestos -containing pipe insulation, the pi ping and other struct ures from which the asbestos has been removed must be thoroughly cleaned with a polyethylene brush and wet wiped until no traces of asbestos debris can be seen. Non- asbestos i nsulation, if present, must be cut back a minimum of three inches from where it comes into contact with any asbestos-containing material.
6. When the asbest os re moval and encapsulation have been co mpleted, a vacuum hose from a HEPA-filtered vacuum must be inserted into the glove bag through the appropriate port to remove any air in the bag that may contain asbestos fibers. When the air has been removed from the bag, the bag should be squeezed tightly (as close to the top as possible), twisted, and sealed with dust tape in order to keep the asbestos-containing materials safely in the bottom of the bag. The HEPA vacuum can then be removed from the bag, and the glove bag itself can be removed from the work area to be disposed of properly.

A. General: Verification of HVAC System cleanliness will be determined after mechanical cleaning and before the application of any treatment or introduction of any treatment -related substance to the HVAC system, including biocidal agents and coatings.
B. Visual Inspection: The HVAC system shall be inspected visually to ensure that no visible contaminants are present.
1. If no contaminants are evident through visual inspection, the HVAC system shall be considered clean; however, the Owner reserves the right to further verify system cleanliness through Surface Comparison Testing or the NADCA vacuum test specified in the NADCA standards.
2. If visible contaminants are evident through visual inspection, those portions of the system where contaminants are visible shall be re -cleaned and subjected to re-inspection for cleanliness.
3. NADCA vacuum test analysis should be performed by a qualified third party experienced in testing of this nature.
C. Verification of Coil Cleaning
1. Cleaning must restore the coil pressure drop to within 10 percent of the pressure drop measured when the coil was first installed. If the original pressure drop is not known, the coil will be considered clean only if the coil is free of foreign matter and chemical residue, based on a thorough visual inspection (see NADCA Standards).
3.2 PRE-EXISTING SYSTEM DAMAGE
A. Contractor is not responsible for problems resulting from prior inappropriate or careless cleaning techniques of others.
3.3 POST-PROJECT REPORT
A. At the conclusion of the project, the Contractor shall provide a report to the Owner indicating the following:
1. Success of the cleaning project, as verified through visual inspection and/or gravimetric analysis.
2. Areas of the system found to be damaged and/or in need of repair.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
BOA Architecture (BOA) retained Clark Seif Clark, Inc. (CSC) to perform limited asbestos, lead-based paint, and visual fungal survey at the property located at 1650 W 162nd Street in Gardena, California. Mr. Norbert E. Kramer, Jr., Accredited Lead Inspector/Assessor #1291 and a California Certified Asbestos Consultant, #92-0582, conducted the survey on November 16th and December 7, 2021. The survey included visual observations for ACM suspected lead-based paint visual fungal investigation, sampling of accessible suspect materials, and laboratory analysis. Findings of the survey, recommendations and conclusions are summarized below.
There was a roof leak that mainly affected the second floor and there is a concern regarding fungal contamination.
The affected areas of the second floor ceiling have been covered with plastic sheeting. This survey was limited to the areas that were affected by the roof leak and where renovation activities are scheduled to occur.
Materials containing detectable quantities of asbestos - legally defined in California as materials containing percentages of asbestos greater than one percent (1%) by area – were found at this facility. Materials with these concentrations of asbestos are regulated by various government agencies.
Materials containing less than 1% asbestos were not identified in the building. In the State of California, materials that contain between <1% asbestos but greater than 0.1% by weight asbestos are considered to be Asbestos Containing Construction Material (ACCM). ACCM must be abated by a licensed and register asbestos abatement contractor, but can be disposed of as construction debris.
The State of California defines LBP as those materials, which contain greater than 1.0 mg/cm 2 or 5,000 parts per million (ppm) lead. LBP was identified in the building. The State of California also requires that if LBP with a lead concentration over 600ppm is to be disturbed, that the individuals performing the work have the proper lead training and wear personal protective equipment.
The purpose of this limited investigation is to sample and test suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-based painted components, which may present an exposure risk or will be disturbed during the upcoming renovation/demolition activities. The roof was not part of CSC’s scope of work.
A roof leak resulted in water intrusion in to the second floor of the building. As a result there is a concern regarding fungal growth. The entire ceiling on the second floor has been covered with plastic sheeting. A visual of inspection of the impacted are on the second floor did not reveal the presence of fungal growth.
2. BUILDING PROFILE
The building is a fire station constructed in the 1940’s. There are two stories and a basement. The walls are concrete and plaster. The ceilings are plaster and ceiling tiles. The HVAC system is insulated with fiberglass and the hot water pipes are insulated with fiberglass and ACM on the elbows and fittings.
3. SURVEY DESCRIPTION
ASBESTOS
The PLM Method is the most commonly used method to analyze building materials for the presence of asbestos.
This method utilizes the optical properties of minerals to identify the selected constituent. The use of this method enables identification of the type and the percentage of asbestos in a given sample. The detection limit of the PLM method for asbestos identification is about one percent (1%) asbestos. Since the State of California recognizes
