APPENDIX A
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT AIR MONITORING
STANDARD SCOPE OF WORK
******************************************************************************
NOTE TO PROJECT SCOPE WRITER:
This standard scope of work is to be used in conjunction with CEGS 13280 for the design
of asbestos abatement projects when a decision has been made to use an independent air
monitoring contractor (other than the construction contractor) to perform environmental air
monitoring. The air sampling regimen is dependent upon the abatement techniques specified in
the construction contract documents and applicable laws. Consult the state, local and customer
requirements and edit accordingly. Where phrases or sentences appear in brackets, a choice must
be made to correspond to the particular contract objectives. Paragraphs with blank spaces
denoted by an asterisk (*) require insertion of the appropriate data. The designer is advised to
coordinate with construction and contracting personnel to determine the best method of
contracting for independent air monitoring services. For example, the scope can be used for a
separate contract or as an extension of the A-E services (construction phase services contract).
The selected contracting option should minimize cost and procurement time and ensure ease of
management by USACE field offices.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Air monitoring covered by this contract is required to determine airborne asbestos fiber
concentrations generated during abatement within regulated work areas and compare them to
established work limits. In addition, air monitoring is necessary to ensure that areas outside the
asbestos-regulated work areas do not become contaminated with asbestos fibers. Finally, air
monitoring is required to evaluate the final cleaning by the abatement contractor upon completion
of the abatement for compliance with specified clearance requirements and/or comparison to
baseline data. The work effort under this scope will include [area air monitoring inside and
outside the asbestos-regulated work area for environmental quality control] [and] [air sampling
[to establish a baseline and] for final clearance] for the abatement tasks listed in Annex
A-1
