710.2556 B arton 65 August 27, 2026 &Jgguidice MCF Building Evaluation Phase 1. B&L will perform an asbestos survey of the building to physically sample suspect building materials for asbestos and hazardous materials. The purpose of the survey will be to determine the extent of asbestos containing materials (ACM) present which may be impacted by future building renovation projects. The ACM survey will include: a. Collection of triplicate bulk samples from each homogeneous material in the impacted areas with the exclusion of non-friable organically bound materials (NOBs). Triplicate sampling is recommended by the U.S. EPA as a means of reducing erroneous findings due to random variations in asbestos content or analytical error. Single samples of NOBs will be collected for analysis. b. The sample locations will be labeled and recorded on single line AutoCAD drawings. The drawings will demonstrate approximate sample locations and material type. Any materials that are currently labeled as asbestos or are known to be asbestos containing products shall be assumed ACM and will not be sampled. c. Serial analysis will be performed on triplicate sets of samples at an appropriately accredited laboratory contracted by B&L. If the first sample tests negative for asbestos, then additional samples in the series will be analyzed until a sample tests positive. If all samples in a series test negative for asbestos, then the material will be considered asbestos free. Where required, the laboratory will supplement the PLM method with the stratified point count technique. d. NOB samples, will include caulking material, found to be negative for asbestos by PLM will be verified as negative by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM analysis is the most definitive analysis for determination of asbestos in a NOB. An accredited TEM laboratory subcontracted by B&L will analyze NOB samples. e. A survey report will be issued for the building that will identify all materials sampled and the results of sampling. The report will identify survey methodologies. The extent of ACM shall be identified in tabular form and on the contract drawings. Laboratory reports, sample chain-of-custody documentation, and all pertinent data generated during the survey will be included in the report. 2. Conduct a site visit to the facility to document existing conditions, take necessary measurements and make observations of the exposed system(s). This assessment will be limited to a visual inspection only. Visual evaluation of the existing facility conditions and building elements will include but not be limited to the front entrance, windows, roof systems, man doors, interior/exterior finishes, floors, cmu wall systems, roof framing systems, plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems. 3. Research possible grant opportunities for building renovation projects for Communities in New York State and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) for lighting improvements and battery storage. 4. Prepare a preliminary Building Code review of the police department facility to include administrative office areas, courtrooms, common areas, bathrooms, locker rooms, breakroom and evidence storage areas in accordance with Chapter 34 Existing Structures of the Building Codes of New York State to assess life safety, accessibility and code compliance issues that will impact the project scope and cost.
