P--DEMOLITION OF 400 RAILROAD AVENUE BUILDING

Reclamation has a requirement for containment, removal, and disposal of regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) from existing structures in conjunction with de-construction, demolition and removal of the existing structures and certain site improvements, and thereafter to establish safe, secure and accessible conditions at the site including perimeter fencing. The work is located at 400 Railroad Avenue, Boulder City, NV, in Clark County, NV. The existing building is commonly referred to as the Railroad Building. The eastern portion of the building was constructed about 1931; the western portion including shops in the 1950s; and various renovations have extensively altered the building's interior partitions and layout over the years since, with the most recent interior re-partitioning occurring in 2008. The Railroad Building covers approximately 14,000 square feet, and includes a main office building consisting of steel frame with sheet steel corrugated panel siding and a portion of unreinforced masonry wall construction with wood-frame interior partitioning, and workshop areas with steel framing and metal wall panel siding. The Railroad Avenue side of the building includes an elevated concrete loading dock approximately 220 feet long by 12 feet wide. A principal characteristic of this building is the past application of spray-on "Zonolite" asbestos-containing insulation to the interior face of metal siding and interior (under) side of roofing surfaces. In the eastern half of the building, this material was partially remediated - including encapsulation and isolation - in a controlled, contained area separated from the occupied office areas of the building. The isolation area is accessible through locked access doorways and is located between the exterior and interior (framed) walls, and between roof and ceilings of the office areas of the building. In much of the western half of the building, the asbestos-containing insulation is encapsulated behind drywall partitions framed out from the exterior walls, and/or isolated by ceiling panels installed between the roofing and the occupied office spaces at ground level. Windows and door frames in some locations carry lead-based paint (LBP). The principal components of the work to be performed for this project include: - Containment, removal and disposal of approximately 9,200 square feet (sq ft) (estimated volume approximately 86 cubic yards (cu yd)) of friable asbestos material, and non-friable asbestos material having high probability of becoming friable during demolition. For purposes of cost-efficiency, Reclamation anticipates that removal and abatement of asbestos-containing materials will be coincident with de-construction and/or demolition of all building materials, components and appurtenances; and that handling, transportation and disposal of all resulting debris and waste materials will be performed consistent with all Federal, State and local laws and regulations for RACM. - Capping existing utility lines at or below ground or at structural faces, and placing stakes, flagging, and appropriate markings as identification, warning and to show location. - Demolition, removal and disposal pursuant to the first paragraph above of the floor coverings and the building slab-on-grade, the top surface of which may be contaminated with asbestos-containing adhesive material. - Removal and disposal pursuant to the first paragraph above of building components and appurtenances including, but not limited to, hot water heaters, plumbing and electrical fixtures, cast iron pipe, air conditioning units, ductwork, electrical panel boxes, garage doors, metal cabinets, etc. - Removal and disposal of exterior non-contaminated appurtenances, including HVAC components and guard railings. - Removal and recycling of concrete loading dock structure materials. - Removal and disposal of existing miscellaneous fill material under the building's loading dock. - Containerizing and hauling of specialized waste such as lighting ballasts to appropriately-licensed landfill site(s).
