GOC2777080 - GC - Asbestos Insulation Removal-GC

Scope of Work/Overview:
Remediation, including both repair and removal of damaged asbestos-containing mechanical insulation in the Fisheries Main Administration Building and Waste Treatment Plant. Mechanical insulation is friable in nature (crushed readily by hand pressure) and thus presents a higher level of risk to operator and occupant safety vs non-friable.  The repair and removal of selected mechanical insulation is a recommendation action from the 2018 Asbestos Survey Re-assessment from Pinchin Environment.  Ladders and scaffolding may be required to access some materials; work may have to take place after hours. Leaving the material in Poor or Fair condition may pose an increasing potential health and safety risk for the building occupants, BGIS building operators and mechanical contractors required to work in these spaces in or around these damaged materials.  Removal and repair work shall be carried out by a qualified asbestos abatement contractor; project shall include air monitoring and inspection where required according to provincial and federal asbestos regulations. Project will include costs of removal and re-insulation with a non-asbestos alternative such as fiberglass with canvas or PVC.
