To facilitate the bidding, project supervision, airborne fiber monitoring, and project record keeping, we propose the following services: ITEM #1 DEVELOP AN ASBESTOS ABATEMENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION The specification will contain aspects of the following outline as they are applicable to this project: PART 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1. 1 Scope of Work 1. 2 Description of Work 1. 3 Applicable Standards and Guidelines 1. 4 Submittals and Notices 1.5 Owner's Preparation 1. 6 Site Security 1.7 Emergency Planning 1. 8 Pre-start Meeting PART 2 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT 2 . 1 Materials 2 .2 Equipment PART 3 EXECUTION 3 . 1 Preparation 3 . 2 Workplace Entry and Exit Procedures 3 . 3 Personnel Protection Requirements 3 .4 Removal Procedures 3 . 5 Clean-up Procedures 3 . 6 Clearance Air Sampling and Analysis 3 .7 Disposal Procedures 3 .8 Reestablishment of Area and Systems ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING,CONSULTING,AND ENGINEERING • • Asbestos Abatement Testing and Consulting Services Hemmens Auditorium Stage Project - 2 - SUPPLEMENTS Our fee for technical specification and bid package preparation will be $850 and includes one bound package and one copy ready for reproduction. Additional packages will be shipped at a fee of $50 each, either to the City or directly to prospective bidders as may be specified. ITEM #2 CONDUCT PRE-BID SITE INSPECTION Conduct a pre-bid site inspection for all participating Abatement Contractors. This tour must be mandatory for further partici nation. Amendments arising . as a result. of a question and answer session at the site will be prepared and FAXed or mailed to each bidder. Our fee for a site tour and communication of associated changes will be $325. ITEM #3 CONDUCT PRE-AWARD MEETING Attend a pre-award meeting with the owner and apparent low bidder. Discuss the bidders strategy and schedule for completion of the project. Discuss release criteria. Our fee for attending a pre- award meeting will be $325. ITEM #4 PROJECT MANAGEMENT/AIRBORNE FIBER SAMPLING/LAB ANALYSIS ENVIRONETICS, proposes to provide the following asbestos related supervisory and analytical services: On-Site Laboratory Services N/C (ie. no additional charge with APM service described below. ) Asbestos Project Manager (APM) $500/8hr containment-shift* (State-Certified APM; rates pertain to any shift on any day; a Certificate of Insurance including Professional, General, Worker's Compensation and Auto will be submitted) . APM Overtime up to 4 hrs/shift @ $50/hr When overtime exceeds 4 hrs, a fiat rate of $500 will be charged. Our experience is that we are not likely to exceed 4 hours, unless a full second shift was already scheduled. Air Sampling Professional (ASP) $432/8hr shift* (State-Certified ASP; rates pertain to any shift on any day) ASP Overtime up to 4 hrs/shift @ $45/hr When overtime exceeds 4 hrs, a flat rate of $432 will be charged. Our experience is that we are not likely to exceed 4 hours, unless a full second shift was already scheduled. *Needless to say, occupant health & safety, USEPA and OSHA compliance inspections must all be factored into the level and quality of service that you select for project oversight. In most cases, by limiting the containment size to under 6, 500 SF, we have ENVIRONETICS A DIVISION OF MANAGEMENT KINETICS,INC. • , Asbestos Abatement Testing and Consulting Services Hemmens Auditorium Stage Project - 3 - been able to successfully accomplish our work with one on-site person serving as Asbestos Project Manager, Air Sampling Professional and Laboratory Analyst. If, however, a containment is to be larger than 6, 500 SF, it will be necessary to add a separate Air Sampling Professional, so that the Project Manager will have ample opportunity to observe the work. In either configuration, the work of our on-site personnel is under continuous review by a Senior Consultant and our Laboratory Director. In these recessionary times, the vast majority of our competitors have elected to cut costs either by not carrying professional liability insurance and/or dropping quality assurance programs (viz. NIOSH-PAT, AIHA-AAR, NIST-NVLAP) . Despite the considerable overhead that insurance and QA add to our operating expense, they are an essential part of environmental testing and consulting. Licensing, insurance and QA programs clearly demonstrate to our clients that outside entities are monitoring the services we provide. Based on our long-term relationship with the City of Elgin, we have discounted the APM rate by $50 per shift. Considering the overall package we are offering (viz. anytime, any day, licensing, insurance and QA) , we believe that we are highly competitive. We would hope that you might refer us to local businesses and other municipalities, as the opportunity arises. The following narrative is submitted to further describe the services included in the fees stated above: I. ASBESTOS PROJECT MANAGER---In order to certify contractor compliance, the Asbestos Project Manager (APM) will be on-site whenever the Abatement Contractor's men are present. He will observe and document daily activity and conditions throughout the project. His work will be completed when the work area is pronounced ready for reoccupancy and the containment has been taken down. The PM will provide a written record of his observations, air sampling and daily laboratory work, Contractor's submittals, and reoccupancy certification upon receipt of all bills of lading for the waste disposal (generally about 30 days after - - project_ completion) . An _ interim report . certify;i ng reoccupancy readiness will be sent within 24 hours of project completion. Specifically, in his capacity as the APM he will: 1. Provide daily supervision at the work area enforcing adherence to the project specifications. 2. Maintain a daily work-in-progress log. 3 . Provide a Reoccupancy Readiness Certification of the work areas. This certification includes a statement regarding compliance with the project specifications and all applicable Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations. The statement is given as merited and with the understanding that where conflicts arise between the wording of applicable directives, the most stringent directive applies.

Submit a final report to the Owner to include the following topics: INTRODUCTION PRE-JOB CHECKLISTS REOCCUPANCY CERTIFICATIONS SUPPORTING LAB DATA PERMITS & MANIFESTS DAILY W-I-P JOURNAL SPECIFICATIONS CONTRACTOR SUBMITTALS LABORATORY REPORTS II. AIRBORNE FIBER MONITORING Specifically, in his capacity as a State-Certified Air Sampling Professional, the APM will provide the following services: 1. Conduct background testing representative of each proposed work area. 2 . Conduct daily airborne fiber monitoring of each abatement work area. This will include personal samples for 25% of the abatement crew on a given shift, or as otherwise specified. 3 . Conduct static air clearance testing in glove bag areas. 4 . Conduct aggressive air clearance testing in the full containment work areas. Final clearances will be accomplished by a thorough visual inspection of the work area and the use of Phase Contrast Microscopy for analysis of the air samples by NIOSH Method 7400. Ten samples and two blanks are included in the per-shift rate, more than ten samples collected per shift will begin to seriously effect the APM/ASP's ability to oversee the work of others. It is not within the scope of ENVIRONETICS' operations policy to permit one staff member to serve as an APM and an ASP when extensive air sampling is indicated. Extensive air sampling will require the addition of a separate ASP to collect and analyze samples as well as make interim reports for the APM. (NOTE: Extensive air sampling correlates directly with increased demands on- the APM's role as well. ) An on-site lab is preferred to provide rapid assessment of airborne fiber concentrations and effectiveness of engineering controls, we will require an individual room with a lockable door. One key must be furnished to the APM. The room should be, well-lighted, have at least two available electrical outlets, have a desk or equivalent-sized table and at least two chairs. Any Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) requested by the Owner or other authority will incur an additional charge of Cost plus handling plus 15% mark-up per sample (including TEM field and lab blanks when counting of the blanks is required) . If TEM clearance samples are to be taken, it would be prudent to also take some TEM background samples just prior to project start. ENVIRONETICS A DIVISION OF MANAGEMENT KINETICS,INC. As1estos Abatement Testing and Consulting Services Hemmens Auditorium Stage Project - 5 - ALL RATES QUOTED FOR ALL SERVICES DESCRIBED ASSUME PROJECTS GREATER THAN 5 DAYS IN DURATION AND ONLY INTERRUPTED BY WEEKEND OR HOLIDAY BREAKS (IF ANY) . Consultative meetings requested by the Owner and requiring an ENVIRONETICS representative (other than the on-site APM/ASP during the abatement project) will be charged at a rate of $170 plus $85/hr after the first hour. ENVIRONETICS will strive to contain the cost of our services, however we cannot provide a "not to exceed figure" that would approximate the extent of the Abatement Contractor's estimated work schedule. To do so, would imply a bias "to get the job done no' matter what by a certain date. " While such an objective may have its place, neither ENVIRONETICS nor its insurers believe it to be appropriate, when a firm is contracting to be the client' s fiduciary for health and safety related surveillance. To estimate or . charges for APM/ASP/LAB (assuming only one person per shift) , multiply $500 times the number of shifts that the contractor estimates and add $1, 000 to cover 1 background and 1 clearance shift. Additional charges for TEM samples, including control blanks, should be estimated at $250 each. We would probably only take one background sample along with our included PCM samples. Clearance by TEM would probably be a total of 5 samples. This proposal is firm for 120 days. Our terms are net 20 days. All past due balances are subject to a 1. 5% monthly service charge. We thank you for the opportunity to make this proposal and we look forward to assisting you with the successful completion of your projects. Sincerely yours, Frank P.

El 411 OF ft,, Agenda Item No . 6 9p'qf,ro rle1 March 16, 1992 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Larry L. Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: Hemmens Asbestos Abatement and Reroof Projects PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to request approval to pursue a contract for the preparation of specifications need- ed for the bid process, oversight and coordination of the bid process, and project supervision with Burnidge Cassell Associ- ates for the reroofing project and Environetics for the asbes- tos abatement project. SBACKGROUND. During the summer of 1991 it was discovered that the Hemmens Auditorium was in need of a new roof. Burnidge Cassell Associates were hired to provide preliminary testing and survey the roof for preparation of a report with recommen- dations and cost estimates for the City of Elgin. Environetics was hired to provide the same services for the asbestos . The asbestos, which is scheduled for abatement, is sprayed on the bottom of the roof deck. Due to the extensive work to be done on the roof, the asbestos must be removed before the roof work •is done to insure the prevention of asbestos contamination throughout the building. Scheduling is of great concern as the auditorium must be 'closed during the asbestos abatement. FINANCIAL IMPACT The fees for Burnidge Cassell Associates would be $7,560 (Phase 2 and 3 of attached proposal) and Environetics fees would be $1,300 for pre-job services ( Items 1, 2 and 3 of attached proposal) . Project management service would be based on a per shift charge and would be dependent. upon the duration of the asbestos project. The estimated cost of the • project management service is $14 ,250 . Asbestos removal was budgeted at $135, 000 in account 392-983-9902 and roof replace- ment at $125,000 in account 392-983-9901 . Mayor and Members of the City Council Hemmens Asbestos Abatement Page 2 March 16, 1992 RECOMMENDATION Both companies have provided services for the City of Elgin in the past, and since they have already completed the preliminary stages it is the recommendation of the staff to proceed with contracts for the remainder of the work to avoid any delays in this project.
