Perform work without damage or contamination of adjacent work. Where such
work is damaged or contaminated as verified by the Contracting Officer
using visual inspection or sample analysis, it shall be restored to its
original condition or decontaminated by the Contractor at no expense to the
Government as deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer. This includes
inadvertent spill of dirt, dust, or debris in which it is reasonable to
conclude that asbestos may exist. When these spills occur, stop work
immediately. Then clean up the spill. When satisfactory visual inspection
and air sampling results are obtained from the [PQP] [NC] work may proceed
at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Furnishings
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Choose one of the following options. In most
projects, the Government will remove furniture and
equipment before the Contractor begins work. In
this case the first paragraph should be used. The
third paragraph should only be used when existing
furnishings have been contaminated with asbestos
fibers and the Contractor will be required to clean
these items. When the third paragraph is used,
identify the furnishings and indicate the quantity
of each.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The designer must decide if porous, non-solid
surfaced items can be cleaned or must be disposed of
as contaminated waste. If cleaning is chosen,
specify methods.
**************************************************************************

porous, non-solid surfaces can not be suitably cleaned and shall be
properly disposed of as contaminated waste.] At the conclusion of the
asbestos removal work and cleanup operations, transfer all objects so

them. Base bids on decontaminating:
