This document is an "Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) Sampling Report" for the Gallup Service Unit – Gallup Indian Hospital Campus in Gallup, New Mexico. It details the findings of bulk sampling conducted between July 30, 2011, and October 19, 2011, by iiná bá, Inc. representatives. The sampling aimed to identify and quantify accessible materials suspected of containing asbestos within 14 campus buildings. The report includes laboratory analysis data from MACS Lab, Inc., Chain of Custody records, and professional certifications for the asbestos inspectors.

This report is crucial for bidders involved in asbestos abatement, renovation, or demolition projects at the Gallup Indian Medical Center Campus. It identifies specific materials containing asbestos (primarily Chrysotile) and their locations (building and room number), condition, substrate, color, and amount. This information is essential for determining the scope of work, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations, and accurately estimating costs for specialized handling and disposal of ACM.

• ACM was identified in four of the 15 surveyed buildings: the main hospital (Building 2000), Outpatient Clinic (Buildings 2002 and 2003), and the general resident complex (Building 2007).
• A total of 14 out of 1,593 bulk ACM samples tested positive.
• Most positive samples were found in non-occupiable areas, such as roofing materials (penetration tar, shingles, roof core samples) and thermal system insulation.
• Other positive materials included sink undercoating, caulk, sealants, sheetrock, tape, texture, plaster, ceiling tiles, and vinyl floor tiles with associated mastics.
• The total estimated cost for the removal of asbestos-containing materials from the campus is $41,402.31.
