CCDC is the Owner. Morgan Maiolie, CCDC Project Specialist, will serve as Owner’s
Representative. CCDC has retained Ricardo Zavala, P.E. as CCDC’s Project Manager/Project
Engineer.
Base Bid; Basis of Contract Award
The Project includes Work Areas in CCDC’s River Myrtle-Old Boise urban renewal district
(“District”). The Base Bid is for Work Areas A through E listed above and generally shown in
Attachment A, and for all Work described in the General Requirements and Drawings &
Technical Specifications in Parts 3 and 4 of this Project Manual. There are no bid alternates.
The CCDC Board will decide whether to award a contract, and if awarded, the successful
contractor will be selected based on the lowest responsive bid as determined by the CCDC
Board and the selection criteria in Part 1: Sect. 15 – “Selection Criteria & Appeal”. The contract
award will be to a single Bidder for the Base Bid amount.
Responsibilities for Streetscape Furnishings
Constructing the Project includes the installation of a variety of streetscape furnishings. CCDC
has made it a practice to order some of these furnishings prior to the Contractor being selected
due to long delivery lead times and cost savings. Also this year, CCDC has an inventory of
street furnishings in its warehouse which it needs to reduce, so CCDC is using as much of this
inventory as possible to supply furnishings for the Project.
Figure 1 identifies the selected Contractor’s and CCDC’s responsibilities regarding streetscape
furnishings for this Project (see page 8 below). This list also appears in Division 01 Section 01
1000.1.18 “Responsibilities for Streetscape Furnishings” in Part 3: of this Project Manual.
Except for the historic street lights, CCDC will store the furnishings the agency is ordering or
has in inventory in CCDC’s warehouse located at 620 S. 9th Street, Boise ID. The Contractor
will be responsible for retrieving and transporting these furnishings when they are needed on
the Project Site.

CCDC has conducted a competitive bidding process for purchasing the historic street lights.
Alloway Electric Co., Inc. has been selected as the supplier for the light poles, glass globes and
LED fixtures. CCDC expects to order the historic street by April 4, 2014. Manufacturing and
delivery typically takes 8-10 weeks. CCDC expects to select the Contractor for the Project on
May 12 at which time the electrical subcontractor will be known. CCDC has included in the
Project Specifications that the selected Contractor shall take delivery and store the historic
street lights until needed for installation, or may choose to have the Contractor’s electrical
subcontractor take delivery and store the historic street lights. The selected Contractor is
responsible for transport of the historic street lights to the Project Site.

Cost/Use Tax for Street Furnishings:

The selected Contractor will purchase most of the brick pavers and all of the street
trees, anchor bolts for the historic street lights, bike racks and trash receptacles
shown for installation on the Drawings & Technical Specifications.

CCDC will provide to the selected Contractor a portion of the brick pavers and all of
historic street lights (without anchor bolts), tree grates and frames, trench drain
grates and frames, and benches shown for installation on the Drawings &
Technical Specifications.
CCDC is a tax exempt entity and does not pay sales tax on the street furnishings it purchases.
The selected Contractor is responsible for paying use tax to the State of Idaho for CCDCpurchased furnishings.
CCDC will provide a chart to prospective Bidders at the mandatory Pre-Bid Conference with
cost estimates for the street furnishings it is providing to Contractor so Bidders can calculate the
use tax the selected Contractor will owe to the State of Idaho.
Erosion & Sediment Control Requirements
Project Engineer has estimated that the area disturbed by the Project is less than one acre so
filing a Notice of Intent to obtain coverage under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) construction general permit is NOT
required. Project Engineer has prepared a draft Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and filed it with Boise City. The draft SWPP is included in Project Manual in Part 3 –
Appendix A. Selected Contractor will be responsible for completing and obtaining approval of
the SWPPP, obtaining any required permits and paying permit fees to Boise City and ACHD.
Asbestos Abatement (added by Add No. 2; revised by Add No. 3)
Project Engineer has engaged Strata Inc. to test for asbestos in the vaults adjacent to Idaho
Blueprint & Supply and Tom Grainey’s Pub. The laboratory results for the vault at Idaho
Blueprint & Supply have been received and show 2-5% chrysotile asbestos present in the floor
tile and black mastic used to install the floor tiles, and in the black mastic used to install the
ceiling tiles. A copy of the lab results for the vault at Idaho Blueprint & Supply is included as
Appendix D-1 to the Project Manual.
Note #11 on Sheet S-2.1 in Drawings requires the Selected Contractor to abate/dispose of
asbestos material as required by Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The laboratory results for the vault at Tom Grainey’s Pub show a negative result for all surfaces
tested. Pages 1-2 of the report, which summarize the test results, are included as Appendix D-2
to the Project Manual. A copy of the full report is available at CCDC’s offices. Based on the
test results, no asbestos abatement is required in Tom Grainey’s vault. are pending. Results
will be provided to the Bidders as soon as they are received, and will be included as Appendix E
to the Project Manual. If asbestos is detected at a level requiring abatement, a note similar to
Note #11 on Sheet S-2.1 will be added to Sheet S-3.1 in Drawings.
Status of Plans
Owner’s consultant team has prepared the construction drawings dated March 31, 2014 for the
Project, which are being issued with this Bid Invitation (“Bid Set”). Quadrant Consulting, Inc.

FRAME
Six rigid vertical posts protrude from the bottom of the frame to support hardscapes along with the weight
of any load they carry. Their rounded edges prevent significant stress concentrations, meaning that the
supported hardscapes are in no danger of sinking due to compressive forces.
DECK
The deck is a rigid platform with six recesses positioned to snap securely on the six posts of the frame.
Openings on the deck allow ample room for air and water to penetrate to the enclosed soil.
The Silva Cell System works like suspended pavement by transferring above ground loads
down to a compacted subbase while the interior of the system is filled with a lightly compacted
loam or bio-retention soil. All that lightly compacted loam is available for root growth. The trees
and the soil they grow in also act as a powerful on site stormwater management system
absorbing and intercepting significant amounts of water and creating what is essentially an
underground rain garden.
According to the DeepRoot website, the Silva Cell is a rigorously engineered product that has
undergone extensive FEA, lab and field testing. There are over 500 installations in nine
different countries. The 2014 Old Boise Streetscapes Project and companion project on the east
side of Boise City Hall are the first installations in Idaho. Silva Cell Systems have been installed
in Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
Boise City has evaluated the Silva Cell System and is requiring its use in downtown Boise
streetscapes. CCDC understands that DeepRoot will send a representative to Boise to train
construction personnel and to advise the selected Contractor on how to install a Silva Cell
System during construction. CCDC is requiring that the installation be inspected by a
manufacturer’s representative prior to its acceptance of the installation.
Requirements regarding phasing, installation, inspection and warranty of the Silva Cell System
are set forth in Division 01 Section 01 1000.1.6. “Project Milestones & Phasing and Section 01
1000.1.19 “Silva Cell Tree and Stormwater Management System”. Technical specifications
have been included in Appendices B and C and in Part 4 – Drawings & Technical Specifications
included in this Project Manual. Additional information of Silva Cell Systems is available at the
following link: http://www.deeproot.com/products/silva-cell/overview
Shawn Freedberg, manufacturer’s representative at DeepRoot for Idaho, has indicated to
CCDC that Bidders seeking information on cost of materials and time required for installation of
Silva Cell systems, etc. are welcome to contact him or DeepRoot’s technical manager, Pat
Greeley. Contact information for these individuals is in Division 01 Section 01 1000.1.11.C.

LICENSING REQUIREMENTS
Idaho Code requires that public works contractors have a valid public works contractor license
(PWC license) when submitting a Bid and when contracting for and performing public works
construction. Bidders must have the appropriate PWC license issued by the State of Idaho to
submit a Bid for the Project. According to the Public Works Contractor Licensing Bureau in the
Idaho Division of Building Safety, the appropriate PWC license for the Project is either a Type 2
or a Type 4 with specialties which allowing the license holder to self-perform 50% of the Work.
CCDC uses the Idaho Division of Building Safety’s (DBS) online license search utility to verify
that Bidders meet PWC license requirements.
https://data.dbs.idaho.gov/etrakit2/Idaho_LicenseSearch.aspx
CCDC checks PWC licenses when Bidders register, on the day Bids are due, and on the day
the CCDC Board is expected to make the contract award. Bidders must inform CCDC if the
Bidder’s license is filed under a name different than that used to register with CCDC, e.g. a
“doing business as” or assumed business name.
License information returned by an DBS online database search must show that the Bidder’s
license is active and not expired, that the Bidder has the correct type of license for the work to
be performed, the correct specialty/specialties if applicable, and that the Bid limit for the Bidder’s
class is at or higher than the total amount of the Bidder’s Bid.
If a license search shows a Bidder’s license to be expired on the date the Bid is submitted
and/or on the date the contract award is made, CCDC considers the license expired unless:
10.

CCDC confirms that the Division of Building Safety considers the Bidder’s license
to be active due to the license being in the process of renewal;

A Bidder must inform CCDC if the Bidder has obtained an extension from the
Division of Building Safety. The DBS database does not list license extensions.
CCDC will then confirm the license has been extended by DBS.
PUBLIC NATURE OF SUBMISSIONS
CCDC is a public agency. All documents in its possession are public records. Submissions are
public records and, except as noted below, will be available for inspection and copying by any
person. If any Bidder claims any part of any submission is exempt from disclosure under the
Idaho Public Records Law, the Bidder shall clearly mark and segregate any such materials and
submit them in a separate and sealed envelope, clearly marked as “Confidential Information.”
Such Confidential Information will be returned to Bidder after the contract is awarded to the
successful Bidder. By submitting any Confidential Information, Bidders expressly agree to
defend, indemnify and hold CCDC harmless from any claim or suit arising from CCDC’s refusal
to disclose such materials. Any proprietary or otherwise sensitive material contained in or with
any submission is subject to potential disclosure.

Board at its May 12 meeting. CCDC Board meetings begin at 12:00 noon at CCDC. Bidders
will be notified of the contract award by email or an alternate method as soon as practicable
after CCDC Board action. CCDC desires to execute the contract with the successful Bidder and
issue a Notice to Proceed for Work to commence on June 2 provided the successful Bidder has
supplied evidence of required licenses, insurance and bonding.
15.
SELECTION CRITERIA & APPEAL
Selection will be based on the procurement rules set forth in Idaho Code Section 67-2805(3) (a).
Final selection is made by the CCDC Board. The CCDC Board has the right to waive or alter
submission requirements or to reject any or all submissions, consistent with Idaho law.
CCDC reserves the right, on the refusal or failure of the successful Bidder to execute the CCDC
contract or furnish the required proof of insurance and bonds as described in Part 1: Sects 13,
14, 16 and 17, to award the 2014 Old Boise Streetscapes contract to the next lowest qualified
Bidder. If CCDC awards the CCDC contract to the next lowest qualified Bidder, the amount of
the lowest qualified Bidder’s bid security will be applied by CCDC to the difference between the
lowest responsive Bid for the Project and the next lowest responsive Bid for the Project, and the
surplus, if any, shall be returned to the lowest Bidder if cash or check is used, or to the surety on
the Bidder’s bond if a bond is used, less reasonable administrative costs not to exceed twentyfive percent (25%) of the amount of the Bidder’s bid security.

contract, that Bidder shall respond in writing to the notice of the bid award from CCDC within
seven (7) days of the date of transmittal of the notice, stating the express reason or reasons that
the award decision of CCDC’s governing board is in error. The deadline for appealing the bid
award for the 2014 Old Boise Streetscapes Project is 5:00 p.m. May 19 if the CCDC Board
awards the contract at is April 30 meeting. Upon receipt of such objection, the CCDC Board or
its designee shall review the award and determine whether to affirm, modify or re-bid, setting
forth the reason or reasons for its decision. At completion of the review process, CCDC may
proceed as it deems to be in the public interest.
The issuance of this Bid Invitation and the receipt and evaluation of sealed Bids does not
obligate CCDC to award a contract. CCDC will pay no costs incurred by Bidders in responding
to this Bid Invitation. CCDC may in its discretion cancel this process at any time prior to
execution of a contract without liability.

PROJECT MILESTONES AND PHASING
A.
Owner’s Project Schedule requires Contractor to meet the following milestones:
1.
Commence Work on June 2, 2014, subject to issuance of a Notice to Proceed by Owner,
provided that:
2.
Work Areas A, B and C: Each of these Work Areas requires preparation for and
installation of a Silva Cell tree and stormwater management system (“Silva Cell System”
or “System”). Owner advises that this installation requires excavating approximately
three (3) feet deep for close to the entire length of the Work Area (but omitting the
corners at intersections). The excavated area extends more or less from the building face
to the curb to allow for side slopes at the perimeter of the installation area.
a.
b.
c.
SUMMARY
To minimize disruption to adjacent businesses and to normal use of the public
right-of-way, excavation for and installation of the Silva Cell System shall occur in
one Work Area at a time, and on one block face at a time so that no two block
faces have an open excavation area and installation of the System occurring at the
same time.
To limit the amount of time the excavation area is open, excavation for and
installation of the Silva Cell System on each block face shall be completed within
ten (10) calendar days. The System shall be considered installed when the decks
have installed on the entire System on the block face and placement of the
geotextile fabric and aggregate base course over the decks and compaction of the
aggregate base course, placement of the setting bed and installation of the pavers is
complete.
If Contractor is delayed in completing installation of the Silva Cell System by any
cause beyond the control of Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to an
equitable extension of the required ten (10) day period in the same manner as is
allowed for an equitable extension of the Contract Time in Section 6.6 of the
Contract. Approval of an equitable extension shall be in the form of a written
Change Order approved by the Owner, Project Manager and Contractor.

WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This document was developed for use in situations involving changes in the Work which, if not processed
expeditiously, might delay the Project. These changes are often initiated in the field and may affect the
Contract Price or the Contract Times. This is not a Change Order, but only a directive to proceed with Work
that may be included in a subsequent Change Order.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or the
Contract Times a Field Order should be used.
B. COMPLETING THE WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE FORM
Owner’s Project Manager initiates the form, including a description of the items involved and attachments.
Based on conversations between Owner’s Project Manager and Contractor, Owner’s Project Manager
completes the following:
METHOD OF DETERMINING CHANGE, IF ANY, IN CONTRACT PRICE: Mark the method to
be used in determining the final cost of Work involved and the estimated net effect on the Contract
Price. If the change involves an increase in the Contract Price and the estimated amount is
approached before the additional or changed Work is completed, another Work Change Directive
must be issued to change the estimated price or Contractor may stop the changed Work when the
estimated time is reached. If the Work Change Directive is not likely to change the Contract Price,
the space for estimated increase (decrease) should be marked "Not Applicable".
Once Owner’s Project Manager has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner for
authorization because Owner’s Project Manager alone does not have authority to authorize changes in Price
or Times. Once authorized by Owner, a copy should be sent by Owner’s Project Manager to Contractor.
Price and Times may only be changed by Change Order signed by Owner and Contractor with Owner’s
Project Manager's recommendation.
Paragraph 10.03.A.2 of the General Conditions requires that a Change Order be initiated and processed to
cover any undisputed sum or amount of time for Work actually performed pursuant to this Work Change
Directive.
Once the Work covered by this directive is completed or final cost and times are determined, Contractor
should submit documentation for inclusion in a Change Order.
THIS IS A DIRECTIVE TO PROCEED WITH A CHANGE THAT MAY AFFECT THE CONTRACT
PRICE OR CONTRACT TIMES. A CHANGE ORDER, IF ANY, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
PROMPTLY.

Each bulk sample is first dissected under a 7-30x magnification stereo-microscope. This examination is used to determine the general type of
sample, how many and what type of layers it has, and initial estimates of fiber types and quantities. Second, liquid media mounts are made of each
layer - such mounts may be of selected fibers (used solely for identification purposes) or may be representative of the layer as a whole (used for
quantitation purposes). The mounts may be made in a synthetic Canadian balsam, one of several solvents, or in refractive index oils (media of known
refractive index). Generally, a variety of different mounts are made: some optimized for fiber visibility, some optimized for fiber identification, and
some optimized for fiber quantitation. The mounted slides are then examined at 50-400x magnification on a Nikon Labphot-pol microscope. Optical
characteristics are used to identify each observed fiber type; the optical data are contained for each sample on its detail analysis sheet, attached.
Current EPA and NESHAP regulations designate a result of <=1 % asbestos as "negative" and >1 % asbestos as "positive". Samples containing
layers that have been determined to be "positive" may have to be handled differently during a renovation or demolition than samples whose layers
have been determined to be "negative."
The method of fiber identification and quantitation is the “Standard Operating Procedures for the Analysis of Asbestos in Bulk Samples using
Polarized Light Microscopy”, Chapter 7 of the Quality Assurance and Management Manual. This SOP and its associated reporting have been designed
to satisfy all requirements in both EPA Method 600/M4-82-020 (The Interim Method) and EPA Method 600/R-93/116 (The New Method). The Interim
Method is the required method for AHERA (US EPA 40 CFR Pt. 763), but this method calls for the reporting of composited results of multi-layered
samples that is no longer an acceptable reporting practice in most circumstances. Current EPA rules, such as NESHAP (US EPA 40CFT Pt. 61), as well
as NVLAP accreditation policies, call for separate reporting for each layer of multi-layered samples. The New Method contains the same procedures for
identification and quantification of asbestos as does the Interim Method, except that multi-layered samples are reported to comply with the latest US
EPA rule. Fiberquant not only reports the asbestos content of each layer of multi-layered samples separately (satisfying current EPA and NVLAP
reporting requirements), but Fiberquant also reports what percentage of the sample each layer comprises. Therefore, the results may be
arithmetically composited to satisfy the reporting requirements of the Interim Method. The method of fiber quantitation is an estimation technique in
which the analysts quantitation is routinely calibrated by reference quantitation standards, and which has been shown to be equivalent in precision
and accuracy to point counting. Friability is estimated for the purposes of deciding when to point count. Friabilities determined in the field take
precedence over those determined in the laboratory. Those sample layers which are friable and estimated by the analyst to contain <= 1% asbestos
are point counted using 400 points. Such point counting is required by NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Polutants, Nov. 1990)
in order to rely on analytical results that are <= 1%. The coefficient of variation for the estimation quantitation technique is 100% in the range 05%. This means that PLM analysis is not capable of conclusively determining whether a layer containing close to 1% asbestos is actually "positive" or
"negative". For this reason, Fiberquant refers to results where asbestos was detected but <= 1% as "borderline negative", and results where
asbestos was >1 % but <= 2% as "borderline positive" to indicate the uncertainty in assigning a "positive" or "negative" label. In the sample
summary, "ND" means that no asbestos was detected during the analysis. A "Tr" or "Trace" of asbestos reported is defined for our purposes as the
detection of several asbestos fibers during the analysis; this level would be right at the limit of detection for the method. Trace is only reported on the
analysis detail - in the summary a trace would be reported as <=1%. The limit of detection (the smallest % of asbestos that can be detected) varies
greatly depending on the matrix in which the asbestos is found. As little as 0.001% asbestos can be detected in favorable samples, while detection in
unfavorable samples may approach the detection limit of 1% stated in the method. During the analysis, the analyst, for Fiberquant identification
purposes only, determines the "apparent sample type" and "apparent layer types." It must be emphasized that these types are only what is
apparent. Often, different materials appear similar or identical after sampling, so the analyst may assign a type other than what was sampled.
Floor tiles present a special problem for PLM asbestos analysis. Floor tile can contain chrysotile fibers so thin that they cannot be resolved by
optical methods. In such a case, we may observe a percentage of asbestos which is lower than the actual percentage, or not observe asbestos at all
when some is present. For this reason, floor tiles reported as negative should be confirmed to be negative using transmission electron microscope
(TEM) analysis. Likewise, vermiculite insulation materials containing traces of asbestiform asbestos present a problem for routine PLM analysis - the
amphiboles are sometimes present in trace amounts inhomogeneously distributed. For this reason, loose vermiculite samples reported as negative
should be confirmed to contain no amphibole using hydroseparation techniques.
The samples were analyzed under the following ongoing quality assurance program: Blank samples are routinely analyzed to maintain
contamination-free materials. Each analyst has at least a bachelor's degree in physical science, and has also completed extensive training specific to
asbestos analysis for 1-3 months before being allowed to analyze client samples. Qualitative reference samples are routinely analyzed to assure that
analysts can identify asbestos and asbestos-look-alike fibers. Quantitative reference samples are routinely analyzed to calibrate and characterize the

estimation procedure. Microscope alignment is checked each day. Refractive index oils are calibrated at least quarterly. At least 10% of client
samples are re-analyzed from scratch by a different analyst than the original, and any discrepancies are resolved for the sample and similar sample
types before the results are reported. All quality checks performed for these samples were in control except as detailed in the "Analytical Notes"
below. All analysts participate in interlab round robins and proficiency testing to assure competence. Fiberquant is accredited by NVLAP (Lab
#101031) for the analysis of bulk samples for asbestos using PLM. Accreditation does not imply endorsement by the EPA, any other United States
governmental agency or any private agency or association. Each lab analysis refers only to the sample tested, and may not, due to the sampling
process, be representative of the material sampled. This report may not be reproduced except in full, without the approval of Fiberquant Analytical
Services.
Some results may have been calculated using client supplied data, such as volume or area sampled, for which Fiberquant assumes no liability for accuracy.

Fiberquant Internal SOP:
Routing Number: PLMn
Each bulk sample is first dissected under a 7-30x magnification stereo-microscope. This examination is used to determine the general type of
sample, how many and what type of layers it has, and initial estimates of fiber types and quantities. Second, liquid media mounts are made of each
layer - such mounts may be of selected fibers (used solely for identification purposes) or may be representative of the layer as a whole (used for
quantitation purposes). The mounts may be made in a synthetic Canadian balsam, one of several solvents, or in refractive index oils (media of known
refractive index). Generally, a variety of different mounts are made: some optimized for fiber visibility, some optimized for fiber identification, and
some optimized for fiber quantitation. The mounted slides are then examined at 50-400x magnification on a Nikon Labphot-pol microscope. Optical
characteristics are used to identify each observed fiber type; the optical data are contained for each sample on its detail analysis sheet, attached.
Current EPA and NESHAP regulations designate a result of <=1 % asbestos as "negative" and >1 % asbestos as "positive". Samples containing
layers that have been determined to be "positive" may have to be handled differently during a renovation or demolition than samples whose layers
have been determined to be "negative."
The method of fiber identification and quantitation is the “Standard Operating Procedures for the Analysis of Asbestos in Bulk Samples using
Polarized Light Microscopy”, Chapter 7 of the Quality Assurance and Management Manual. This SOP and its associated reporting have been designed
to satisfy all requirements in both EPA Method 600/M4-82-020 (The Interim Method) and EPA Method 600/R-93/116 (The New Method). The Interim
Method is the required method for AHERA (US EPA 40 CFR Pt. 763), but this method calls for the reporting of composited results of multi-layered
samples that is no longer an acceptable reporting practice in most circumstances. Current EPA rules, such as NESHAP (US EPA 40CFT Pt. 61), as well
as NVLAP accreditation policies, call for separate reporting for each layer of multi-layered samples. The New Method contains the same procedures for
identification and quantification of asbestos as does the Interim Method, except that multi-layered samples are reported to comply with the latest US
EPA rule. Fiberquant not only reports the asbestos content of each layer of multi-layered samples separately (satisfying current EPA and NVLAP
reporting requirements), but Fiberquant also reports what percentage of the sample each layer comprises. Therefore, the results may be
arithmetically composited to satisfy the reporting requirements of the Interim Method. The method of fiber quantitation is an estimation technique in
which the analysts quantitation is routinely calibrated by reference quantitation standards, and which has been shown to be equivalent in precision
and accuracy to point counting. Friability is estimated for the purposes of deciding when to point count. Friabilities determined in the field take
precedence over those determined in the laboratory. Those sample layers which are friable and estimated by the analyst to contain <= 1% asbestos
are point counted using 400 points. Such point counting is required by NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Polutants, Nov. 1990)
in order to rely on analytical results that are <= 1%. The coefficient of variation for the estimation quantitation technique is 100% in the range 05%. This means that PLM analysis is not capable of conclusively determining whether a layer containing close to 1% asbestos is actually "positive" or
"negative". For this reason, Fiberquant refers to results where asbestos was detected but <= 1% as "borderline negative", and results where
asbestos was >1 % but <= 2% as "borderline positive" to indicate the uncertainty in assigning a "positive" or "negative" label. In the sample
summary, "ND" means that no asbestos was detected during the analysis. A "Tr" or "Trace" of asbestos reported is defined for our purposes as the
detection of several asbestos fibers during the analysis; this level would be right at the limit of detection for the method. Trace is only reported on
the analysis detail - in the summary a trace would be reported as <=1%. The limit of detection (the smallest % of asbestos that can be detected)
varies greatly depending on the matrix in which the asbestos is found. As little as 0.001% asbestos can be detected in favorable samples, while
detection in unfavorable samples may approach the detection limit of 1% stated in the method. During the analysis, the analyst, for Fiberquant
identification purposes only, determines the "apparent sample type" and "apparent layer types." It must be emphasized that these types are only
what is apparent. Often, different materials appear similar or identical after sampling, so the analyst may assign a type other than what was
sampled.
Floor tiles present a special problem for PLM asbestos analysis. Floor tile can contain chrysotile fibers so thin that they cannot be resolved by
optical methods. In such a case, we may observe a percentage of asbestos which is lower than the actual percentage, or not observe asbestos at all
when some is present. For this reason, floor tiles reported as negative should be confirmed to be negative using transmission electron microscope
(TEM) analysis. Likewise, vermiculite insulation materials containing traces of asbestiform asbestos present a problem for routine PLM analysis - the
amphiboles are sometimes present in trace amounts inhomogeneously distributed. For this reason, loose vermiculite samples reported as negative
should be confirmed to contain no amphibole using hydroseparation techniques.
The samples were analyzed under the following ongoing quality assurance program: Blank samples are routinely analyzed to maintain
contamination-free materials. Each analyst has at least a bachelor's degree in physical science, and has also completed extensive training specific to
asbestos analysis for 1-3 months before being allowed to analyze client samples. Qualitative reference samples are routinely analyzed to assure that

analysts can identify asbestos and asbestos-look-alike fibers. Quantitative reference samples are routinely analyzed to calibrate and characterize the
estimation procedure. Microscope alignment is checked each day. Refractive index oils are calibrated at least quarterly. At least 10% of client
samples are re-analyzed from scratch by a different analyst than the original, and any discrepancies are resolved for the sample and similar sample
types before the results are reported. All quality checks performed for these samples were in control except as detailed in the "Analytical Notes"
below. All analysts participate in interlab round robins and proficiency testing to assure competence. Fiberquant is accredited by NVLAP (Lab
#101031) for the analysis of bulk samples for asbestos using PLM. Accreditation does not imply endorsement by the EPA, any other United States
governmental agency or any private agency or association. Each lab analysis refers only to the sample tested, and may not, due to the sampling
process, be representative of the material sampled. This report may not be reproduced except in full, without the approval of Fiberquant Analytical
Services.
Some results may have been calculated using client supplied data, such as volume or area sampled, for which Fiberquant assumes no liability for accuracy.
