Quick Summary
This Special Notice from the Government Publishing Office (GPO) serves as an amendment to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 4TH FLOOR Renovation Project. The amendment primarily corrects a previous response to Question 42 regarding shelving requirements and provides a crucial Hazardous Materials Survey Report (Attachment J.8). This project involves the renovation of the 4th Floor of Building A in Washington, DC, to convert it into Archival Storage for NARA.
Scope of Change
This amendment introduces two key updates:
- Correction to Q.42: The Government's response to Question 42 has been corrected. Previously, it incorrectly stated that Specification Section 10 56 26 was not a requirement. The updated response clarifies that shelving shown on drawing A303 is part of the scope of work, and detailed technical requirements are found in Section 10 56 13 (Metal Storage Shelving) within Attachment J.3.
- New Attachment J.8: The Hazardous Materials Survey Report has been provided. This report details the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in various locations on the 4th Floor, primarily in pipe insulation and some cement-board materials. It also notes the identification of lead-based paint in numerous components. This information is critical for bidders involved in demolition and construction activities.
Key Information from Attachment J.8
The Hazardous Materials Survey Report identifies specific areas with ACM, including:
- Pipe insulation (Thermal Systems Insulation - TSI) on chilled and hot water pipes in Stairway 4, Columns 4C13, 4F8, 4F7, and A424A.
- Rain leader pipes in Columns 4A4 / 4A5.
- Asbestos-containing cement-board material (Transite) in areas like A424, A424A, and A425.
- ACM in various shafts. The report emphasizes the need for proper safe work practices and the removal of any interfering ACM by a qualified company.
