Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this Invitation for Bid (IFB) is to solicit bids for Asbestos Abatement Project at Flinn M.S., 2525 Ohio Pkwy., Rockford, IL 61108. Introduction: Asbestos abatement in interior building spaces, covered walkways or porticos connecting buildings, and on outdoor mechanical systems which condition indoor air (such as air handling units, air conditioners, cooling towers, etc.) is governed by rules established by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). This specification section addresses or references the requirements for complying with IDPH, OSHA, and EPA NESHAP asbestos rules. Each and every rule requirement may not be restated in detail since trained, accredited, and licensed contractors and individuals are required for this work and are presumed to be familiar with the relevant laws and rules. Full regulatory compliance is required, and is a part of the contract, whether specifically stated herein or not. Exterior building spaces are not subject to IDPH rules unless the abatement procedures involve interior spaces of the building. Roofing, window replacement, exterior transite sheeting, asbestos siding, asbestos-containing paint, caulking, glazing, flashings, cements, or other products installed on the building exterior are subject to OSHA and NESHAP rules which, in many cases are less rigorous than IDPH requirements. Abatement of these items is specified in separate, related specification sections.
