regulatory requirements and must comply with these regulations. 3.5.10 WASTE HANDLER PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS The Contractor shall ensure that all employees handling and discarding asbestos waste wear

approved respiratory equipment and protective clothing. 3.6 CLEANUP AND DECONTAMINATION OF THE ASBESTOS WORK AREA Remove all visible accumulations of ACM and debris with a HEPA-filtered vacuum and, where

feasible wet wiping with amended water. This cleaning shall be conducted with the plastic critical barriers in place, and with the HEPA air filtration devices and the personnel and equipment/waste decontamination facilities in service.

3.6.1 CLEANUP OF WORK AREA 3.6.1.1 Remove all visible accumulations of asbestos-containing material, and all loose debris on the

floor and other walking surfaces with a HEPA-filtered vacuum. 3.6.1.2 Wet wipe critical barriers covering the windows, pipes, and other surfaces. Wash all walls,

ceilings, and floors to ensure that the area is free of visible debris. 3.6.1.3 After cleaning the work area, the supervisor shall visually inspect the entire work area to

ensure that it is free of visible asbestos debris. After the supervisor has determined that the area is visible clean, Miami University shall conduct an inspection to determine whether the area is acceptably clean.

3.6.1.4 Sealed containers and all equipment used in the work area shall be included in the cleanup

and shall be removed from work areas as an appropriate time in the cleaning sequence. 3.6.1.5 If the Miami University finds visible dust or accumulations of asbestos debris in the work area

after cleaning, the contractor shall repeat the cleaning (at his own expense) until the work area is in compliance. The cleaning shall be repeated at 24-hour intervals until no residue is visible.

3.6.1.6 When final inspection determines that the area is free of visible asbestos debris the critical

barriers and the decontamination facilities shall be removed, all areas shall be thoroughly wet cleaned, and materials from the equipment room and shower shall be disposed of as


contaminated waste. A final check shall be carried out by Miami University to ensure that no dust or debris remains on surfaces as a result of dismantling operations.

3.7 DETERMINING ABATEMENT COMPLETION 3.7.1 Visual inspection 3.7.1.1 Miami University shall conduct a thorough visual inspection of each work area after the

Contractor has indicated that all asbestos-containing material has been completely removed. 3.7.1.2 Items to be checked during the visual inspection include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The adequacy of removal of asbestos-containing materials from their substrates. • Cleanliness of the work area and decontamination areas; accumulations of loose dust or

debris on exposed surfaces, walls, and floors. • Damage to the building or immovable objects that remain in the work area. If any accumulation of dust or debris is observed, the Contractor will be required to

wet-clean and/or HEPA vacuum the work area again and pass a repeat inspection.

PART 4 FINAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS 4.1 PROJECT DOCUMENTATION Comprehensive and regular documentation is required so that the "Project Record Documents"

can be annotated to provide factual information regarding all aspects of the abatement work. 4.1.1 REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION Throughout this project, the Contractor shall compile the following documentation, which shall be

submitted to Miami University upon project completion: 4.1.1.1 All air monitoring data collected during the project. The data should include sample number

and description, sample period and volume, and measured concentration. 4.1.1.2 Original disposal manifests signed by the operator of the licensed landfill. 4.1.1.3 EPA and State of Ohio required notifications. 4.1.1.4 Copies of all asbestos abatement certificates required by the State of Ohio for all personnel

directly involved in the project. 4.1.1.5 Copy of the Contractor's daily sign-in site log.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION A. Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared. B. If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, General

Contractor of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.

3.2 PREPARATION A. Protection: Protect adjacent finish surface to prevent damage during sanding and

floor system application. B. Surface Preparation:

1. Vacuum thoroughly and make sure floor is free of moisture. 2. Sand and prepare floor using NWFA or industry accepted methods. 3. Sand with heavy, power driven type sander. Use dust accumulator on

machine. 4. Sand with No. 40 or 36 grit sandpaper if boards are uneven heights. First

pass shall be on a diagonal angle to the direction of the floor. 5. Make sure floor is sanded smooth and level before sanding with medium

grit (50 or 60 grit) sandpaper. This cut and all subsequent cuts shall be sanded in the direction of the grain of the floor.

6. Sand edges with No. 60 or 80 grit spinner paper. 7. Sand entire floor with No. 80 or 100 grit sandpaper. 8. Disk sand entire floor with No. 100 disk paper. 9. Scrape and hand-sand corners and other areas not reached by machine. 10. Use a Tampico Brush on a buffer and vacuum thoroughly. 11. Tack with a dry Bona Microfiber Mop or cloth to remove dust. 12. Apply finish system.

3.3 APPLICATION A. Comply with the instructions and recommendations of the floor finish system

manufacturer. B. Finish System:

1. 3-coat system. 2. For a stained floor, apply a stain according to label directions, followed

by 2 coats of polyurethane. 4. Add third coat of finish in heavy-traffic areas or as scheduled.

C. Finishing: 1. Apply finish going with the grain of the wood. 2. Feather out each stroke to avoid applicator marks. 3. Use the recommended coverage of sq ft per gallon recommended by

manufacturer.


4. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly (approximately 8 to 12 hours). High humidity and/or low temperature conditions will extend dry time while

increased ventilation and airflow will reduce dry time (recommended conditions of 65 to 80 degree F (18 degree C to 27 degree C)/ 40 to 60% relative humidity).

5. Abrade in-between all coats with a 120 - 150 grit screen or maroon pad. 6. Thoroughly vacuum and wipe with a clean, lint-free, water dampened

cloth between coats of finish. 7. Allow final coat to dry a minimum of 24 hours before use and avoid

heavy traffic for 72 hours. D. Install hardwood base mouldings with wood grain and finish to match existing

base following floor refinishing.

3.4 PROTECTION A. After application, protect floor finish from damage during subsequent work. B. After floors are finished, area is to be secured to allow time for curing of the

finish. Do not allow foot traffic until floor is sufficiently dried and cured. Contractor shall protect finished floor until inspection and acceptance.
