H356-- Baseline Asbestos Inspection

The service provider will complete a comprehensive asbestos survey and asbestos inventory of building materials for the RHJ VA Medical Center, 109 Bee Street Charleston, SC. The inspection and survey for asbestos will be conducted by accredited and licensed SCDHEC asbestos building inspectors who will locate and identify homogeneous areas (HAs), identify asbestos content of HAs, quantify asbestos HAs, document location of asbestos HAs on floor plan drawings, assess the condition of HAs, assess the friability and risk of occupant exposure to existing asbestos materials, and provide cost estimates and priorities for damaged or compromised asbestos discovered during the inspections. Furthermore, the service provider will follow Class IV OSHA procedures (29CFR 1926.1101) and label all existing, exposed, accessible asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) with labels conforming to that shown in Attachment A, every 6 feet of accessible thermal system insulation (TSI) containing asbestos, and other surfacing asbestos containing material. Labels must be of such quality that they can be expected to remain adhered or legible for 20 years.
