INSPECTION PHASE
A. Facility Contacts; Scheduling of Inspections:
Each facility will have one
designated facility coordinator who will have access to
every location within that facility. Note any buildings
which cannot be inspected
during normal working hours. Before a notice to proceed is issued for the Inspection
Phase, provide a schedule to the Project Manager which indicates which buildings
the inspectors
will inspect on each day. The schedule shall be approved by the
facility coordinator and shall represent
an agreement between the A/E and the
facility administration as to when and how the inspection shall be
conducted. Any
problems encountered in obtaining this agreement shall be reported to the Project
Manager by the A/E. The PM will act as a moderator between the A/E and the
facility administration
to negotiate an acceptable schedule.
B. On-Site Walk-Through:
Conduct an on-site walk-through
of all areas of each building. The on-site walkthrough
may include the facility coordinator, the Project
Manager, the A/E personnel,
and/or other personnel. This walk-through is intended to acquaint the A/E with
the
facility and obtain adequate information to identify homogeneous areas of the
suspect
materials. Collect sufficient information from visual inspection or through
questioning the facility coordinator
to verify or correct the building inventory
information provided by the CDB and to prepare a site plan
of the facility. The A/E
shall obtain from the facility coordinator all available drawings, specifications,
etc.
Additional construction documents may be available from CDB.
C. Walk-through Completion:
Upon completion of the on-site walk-through, the A/E shall:
1. Complete the building inventory
information (Form 3). CDB building numbers
for new buildings may be obtained by calling 217/782-8643.
2. Prepare a narrative describing each building in terms of use, type of
construction, condition
and any other factors considered pertinent. See
Appendix B-5 for format and content.
3.
Prepare a facility site plan showing all buildings and structures labeled with
CDB building numbers. A
legend on a separate page or on the site plan shall
list all buildings or structures by name, show their
respective CDB building
numbers, and, if applicable, show any numbers used by the facility to identify
them.
4. Prepare a floor plan for each floor of the building unless there is no suspect
ACM in the entire building.
5. Each building shall be a separate report (2 or more CDB building
numbers may
be applicable to each building).
06/98 VI - 2
VI - 2D. Inspection Process:
Conduct the inspection
upon approval of the schedule by the Project Manager.
Inspect all accessible areas of the building. An
Inspection Report Form 9 shall be
completed for each homogeneous area. All spaces on the form shall be
completed
and each form shall be signed and dated by the inspector. Locate on the floor plans
all
areas where suspect asbestos-containing materials are not accessible. Note in
the comments section of Form
9 recommendations for further investigation. No
sampling or management plan is required if there is no
suspect ACM.
1. Inspect all areas including areas above suspended ceiling, pipe chases, attics,
steam
tunnels (may require a separate building report at the discretion of the
Contracting Agency), crawl spaces,
elevator shafts, HVAC systems, fireproof
curtains, porticos and covered exterior hallways and walkways,
roofs, and
cooling towers.
2. Homogeneous areas shall be designated as provided in Section
VII.
3. Notify the Project Manager immediately of any situation which requires
immediate
action, such as a major fiber release episode. Include verification
of notification in inspection report
following the building narrative. The Project
Manager will instruct the A/E as to any actions to be taken
by the A/E or make
arrangements for a licensed contractor or agency personnel to properly
eliminate
the hazard.
4. If a quantity of ACM is found "stockpiled", each different material shall be
classified as a separate homogeneous area. A stockpiled material Form 9A
shall be completed
for each different material and inserted immediately
following the Inspection Report Form 9.
5.
Sampling Recommendations:
Prepare a summary of findings in tabular form listing each homogeneous area
identified and recommending the number of samples to be taken. Also include
the quantity of
suspect ACM present in each homogeneous area (square feet,
linear feet, or each) and an estimate of the
cost of removing this material if
over $25,000. See Appendix B-6. Utilize unit costs Appendix B-6.3.
6. Homogeneous Area Floor Plans:
a. Prepare as a minimum, single line floor plans to scale
for each area
containing suspect ACM. Only 1 plan per area per homogeneous area
is permitted.
If both walls and ceilings are homogeneous, indicate the
walls in addition to the ceilings on the plan.
Homogeneous area
locations shall be accurately identified with hatching or other means
which
will photocopy in monochrome. No half tone printing is permitted.
See Appendix B-10.
b.
If a manufacturer's label or identifying stamp is found, information
regarding the manufacturer and
the exact location of the label or stamp
shall be documented on the Inspection Report Form and the location
shown on the floor plan.
06/98 VI - 3
VI
- 3c. Salient areas shall also be identified on the floor plans and documented
on the Inspection Report Form, including the approximate square or
linear footage of the salient
and notation as to the type of damage or
change in material.
d. Indicate types of non
suspect thermal insulation in building narrative.
e. AREAS WHERE ACCESS IS IMPOSSIBLE shall be identified
on floor
plans. Document why the area could not be inspected.
