Description
STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
Asbestos Mitigation, Encapsulation and HVAC Cleaning, B1207
Fairchild AFB, WA
19 May 2026
OVERALL OBJECTIVE
The objective of this contract is to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and all certified
personnel necessary to perform professional asbestos mitigation, surface decontamination, and
floor encapsulation in two specified rooms. This work will mitigate the asbestos hazard and
prepare a safe, stable substrate for the subsequent installation of new hard rubber matting
flooring (flooring will be installed under a separate effort).
SECTION I - BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.1. In early 2026, carpet was removed from two adjacent rooms (approx. 75 sq. ft. and 400 sq.
ft.) within B1207, disturbing the underlying flooring system.
1.2. A previous asbestos survey confirms that the floor tile and associated mastic are Asbestos-
Containing Material (ACM).
1.3. This project will serve as the formal decontamination and abatement action for the disturbed
ACM.
SECTION II - REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Site Preparation and Containment
a. Isolate the two affected rooms by establishing critical barriers over all doors, windows, and
openings using heavy-duty polyethylene sheeting.
b. Establish negative pressure within the work area using HEPA-filtered air filtration devices
ensuring no cross-contamination to adjacent spaces.
c. Isolate the HVAC system in the affected work areas to prevent operation during the mitigation
process.
2.2 Surface Decontamination
a. Perform a comprehensive decontamination of all horizontal and vertical surfaces within the
two affected rooms.
b. Utilize HEPA-filtered vacuums on all surfaces to capture settled microscopic dust and
potential asbestos fibers.
c. Perform a thorough wet-wiping/wet-mopping of all surfaces using approved cleaning agents in
the two affected rooms.
2.3 Flooring Mitigation & Encapsulation
a. Perform a physical assessment of all floor tiles in both rooms. Any tiles found to be loose,
delaminated, or significantly damaged must be removed prior to encapsulation.
b. Apply an industry-approved, asbestos-specific binding primer/sealant over the entire floor

surface (both remaining tiles and exposed mastic) to lock down any loose fibers and create a
bonding layer.
c. Pour and finish a compatible self-leveling underlayment compound over the primed surface to
completely encapsulate the ACM and create a smooth surface ready for future rubber matting
installation (rubber matting flooring will be installed via separate effort).
2.4 HVAC System Cleaning
a. Perform a specialized asbestos-compliant cleaning and decontamination of the HVAC
ductwork, registers, diffusers, and associated air handling equipment serving the two affected
rooms for the whole system using approved asbestos abatement methods to ensure no residual
asbestos contamination remains.
b. All HVAC cleaning and decontamination activities must be performed in strict compliance
with current EPA, OSHA, and local asbestos abatement regulations. Contractor shall determine
and employ the appropriate, compliant methods for extraction and containment.
c. Replace air filters with new HEPA-rated air filters. The existing HVAC configuration at
B1207 is a standard supply/return system with no HEPA filtration or engineered controls capable
of capturing asbestos fibers. Contractor shall provide a full-system duct cleaning that is required
to meet EPA NESHAP, WAC 296-62, and SRCAA standards.
2.5 Waste Management
a. All materials generated during this project, including but not limited to removed floor tiles,
used PPE, disposable cleaning supplies, and spent HEPA filters, shall be managed as asbestos-
containing waste.
b. The Contractor shall be responsible for the proper packaging, labeling, and transport of all
asbestos-containing waste. All waste must be double-bagged or sealed in leak-tight containers,
display the proper asbestos warning labels, and be manifested for lawful disposal at a NESHAP-
approved landfill.
SECTION III – QUALIFICATIONS & SUBMITTALS
3.1 General
a. All submittals shall be provided in a clearly labeled PDF format.
3.2 Pre-Work Submittals
a. Prior to the start of any on-site work, the Contractor shall submit the following to the
Government PM for review and approval:
i. Licenses & Certifications: A copy of the company's valid Washington State Asbestos
Abatement Contractor License and copies of the AHERA certifications for all workers and
supervisors who will be on-site.
ii. SRCAA Notice of Intent (NOI): A copy of the complete and filed "Notice of Intent"
submitted to the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency (SRCAA). Work may not begin until the
10-day notification period has elapsed.
iii. Site-Specific Work Plan: A comprehensive plan detailing containment strategies, negative
air calculations, decontamination procedures, and the specific methodology for the HVAC
system cleaning.

iv. Material Data: Manufacturer Specification Data Sheets and Safety Data Sheets for all
proposed primers, sealants, and self-leveling compounds.
3.3 Post-Work Submittals
a. Within ten (10) working days of project completion, the Contractor shall submit a single,
comprehensive Project Closeout Report. This report shall include, at a minimum:
i. Final Air Clearance Report: The full lab report from a third-party, AHERA-certified Project
Designer demonstrating that aggressive air sampling has been conducted and that all areas within
the containment are below the clearance level of 0.01 f/cc.
ii. Waste Manifests: Copies of all waste manifests and landfill receipts proving lawful disposal
of all asbestos-containing waste.
iii. Project Summary: A brief summary of work performed, including daily logs and
photographs.
