Box 424 Baytown, Texas 77522 -0424 Attention: Mr. Howard Wellspring RE: Environmental Engineering Services City of Baytown Brunson Theater Asbestos Abatement Project The 3D/International Environmental Group (3D/1) is pleased to present this proposal to provide environmental engineering services to the City of Baytown in 3D/ International Baytown, Texas. This proposal covers development of contract documents and Environmental Group technical specifications, assistance with the bidding process, complete monitoring services during the asbestos abatement activities, and submittal of a final report. SCOPE OF WORK The purpose of this proposal is to provide contract documents and technical specifications, monitoring services, and a final report for the asbestos abatement project scheduled for the Brunson Theater in Baytown, Texas. The following presents a discussion of our services in more detail. Contract Documents And Technical Specifications - Successful asbestos abatement projects include well - written, practical specifications, and a good, qualified contractor. The technical specifications will set out the requirements for abatement activities. Prior to the development of the scope of work and specifications, we will review the existing asbestos policies of the City of Baytown. Other policies regarding contract verbiage and bidding requirements will then be incorporated within the contract documents. By their very nature, asbestos abatement projects expose all of the involved parties to potential ® liability. C City of Baytown Asbestos Abatement Project Brunson Theater June 15, 1999 ® Consistent application of these policies while removing and disposing of hazards associated with asbestos is a significant risk - reducing measure. In preparing technical specifications, we strive to provide guidance to the contractor for meeting and exceeding the minimum regulatory requirements. The technical specifications will be prepared in general accordance with TDH, OSHA, and EPA guidelines for asbestos abatement. While the specifications are not designed to tell the contractor how to do his work, they are strict in defining safety requirements and the end results that are required. Pre -Bid Meeting - Our services for this phase will include assistance in conducting a recommended mandatory pre -bid walk - through. The walk - through helps familiarize contractors with the project and the project site, and gives them the opportunity to ask questions. Each contractor benefits from any discussion, and the owner benefits from receiving bids based on a mutual understanding of the scope of work. Upon bid opening, 3D/E will assist the owner in reviewing the bid submittals and selecting a contractor. Monitor Abatement - During the abatement process, we will monitor the project on a full -time basis. Monitoring will be accomplished by a state - licensed asbestos field technician. These monitoring services include observing jobsite preparation and abatement activities, and performing final clearance sampling and analysis. In addition, our on -site representative will: • be the owner's on -site representative; • observe contractor work practices in accordance with contract specifications; • document abatement activities; • collect asbestos air samples and analyze by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM); and • provide asbestos work area clearance sampling by PCM. Prepare Final Report. The final activity of the abatement monitoring service is the preparation of the final project report. All pertinent data, including summary of the work, contract documents and scope of work, contractor submittals, daily field reports, air sample summary, final clearance testing results, and uniform hazardous waste manifests will be included in the final report.
