NOTE: Specify the form, condition and approximate
quantity square meters or linear meters square feet
or linear feet of asbestos material to be controlled
in the first blank and the location of the material
in the second blank. Example: "The asbestos work
includes the demolition and removal of 90 m of 200 mm
300 feet of 8 inch diameter asbestos insulation
located on existing steam piping indicated to be
removed in the boiler room." or "The asbestos work
includes the encapsulation of 270 square meters
3,000 square feet of sprayed on asbestos containing
fire proofing materials located above the ceiling
throughout the structure."
The use of this section in the contract
specification means that known asbestos material is
involved. Estimate the quantity and specify as unit
price items in Section 00200, "Instructions to
Bidders" or Section 01200, "Price and Payment
Procedures" per standard practice of the activity
preparing the contract.

NOTE: Nonfriable ACM may not require special
handling. However, during demolition and removal of
this material dust and airborne asbestos fibers will
sometimes be released. If the project contains
nonfriable asbestos which may release fibers when
demolished and removed, the nonfriable asbestos
shall be removed in the same way as friable
asbestos. Include "Under normal.... specified
herein.", if material traditionally defined as
non-friable asbestos materials are to be removed.

NOTE: The appropriate engineering control technique
must comply with the requirements outlined in 29 CFR
1926.1101 which is selected based on existing
conditions, but must be that technique that provides
the best control during abatement at most reasonable
cost.
