Contractor in tabular format. The bid must solicit a unit cost for collecting and
analyzing a lead sample by XRF and also by paint chip, along with the unit cost
for collecting and analyzing ACM bulk samples. Samples identified for lead
analysis should be collected and prioritized for analysis based on probability of
obtaining positive results. Only the minimum number of samples should be
taken. Analysis of the samples should cease once a positive result is obtained
demonstrating the need for project compliance with 29 CFR 1926.62(d). The
Contractor must use best professional judgment in identifying the number and
prioritizing the analysis of the samples taken fro m commercial/industrial
buildings. The Contractor's rationale for sampling must be presented and agreed
upon in the Contractor's project work plan. ACM must be sampled by bulk
samples for the homogeneous area of suspect ACM material the sample
represents. Check with local laboratories that meet the lead and asbestos analysis
qualifications specified in this SOW, to determine a reasonable cost for analyzing
lead paint chips, soil and bulk asbestos samples and TCLP tests. Two TCLP tests
are usually taken per structure at an analytical cost averaging 0.00 but can
range up to 0.00 per sample. Typically, 135 XRF shots are taken in a three-
bedroom home with a cost range per shot of
||content||
.50 to .00 each. Residential
units would typically require considerably more XRF shots than other buildings
such as commercial spaces or industrial facilities. Lab paint chip sample analysis
cost should range from .00 to .00. Paint chips should be collected where
the XRF cannot be used properly such as on curved surfaces, when the XRF
readings are inconclusive according to the PCS Sheet for the instrument, and as a
QA/QC of 1% to 5% of the total XRF samples. If XRF is not to be used by the
Contractor, then each separate paint component system must be sampled by paint
chip analysis with a QC of 2% to 5% of the total number of paint chips analyzed.
Sampling for lead can halt when a positive sample is obtained from the project
area and it is accordingly determined that the 29 CFR 1926.62 is applicable.
Typical cost for analysis for each asbestos sample can range from .00 to .50
for PLM and .00 to .00 for TEM. Assume the QC samples for asbestos
will equal 5% to 10% of total asbestos samples analyzed. Doing a walk-through
would add clarity and detail in dr afting the bid assumptions as a part of drafting
this SOW, to roughly identify the number of separate paint component systems
and potential ACM homogenous areas to be sampled.
