enforcement of a contract would be unconscionable;

Equal Opportunity Clause

Required by the Illinois Fair Employment Practices Commission as a material term of all public
contracts:
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

In the event of the Contractor's noncompliance with any provision of this Equal
Employment Opportunity clause, the Illinois Fair Employment Practices Act or the Fair
Employment Practices Commission's Rules and Regulations for Public Contracts, the
contractor may be declared not responsible and therefore ineligible for future contracts or
subcontracts with the State of Illinois or any of its political subdivisions or municipal
corporations, and the contract may be cancelled or voided in whole or in part, and such
other sanctions or penalties may be imposed or remedies invoked as provided by statute or
regulations.

During the performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:

(1) That, it will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin or ancestry; and further that it will
examine all job classifications to determine if minority persons or women are underutilized
and will take appropriate affirmative action to rectify any such under utilization.

(2) That, if it hires additional employees in order to perform this contract, or any portion
hereof, it will determine the availability (in accordance with the Commission's Rules and
Regulations for Public Contracts) of minorities and women in the area(s) from which it may
reasonably recruit and it will hire for each job classification for which employees are hired
in such a way that minorities and women are not under-utilized.

(3) That, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by it or on its behalf, it
will state that all applicants will be afforded equal opportunity without discrimination
because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin or ancestry.

(4) That, it will send to each labor organization or representative of workers with which it
has or is bound by a collective bargaining or other agreement or understanding, a notice
advising such labor organization or representative of the contractor's obligations under the
Illinois Fair Employment Practices Act and the Commission's Rules and Regulations for
Public Contracts. If any such labor organization or representative fails or refuses to
cooperate with the contractor in its efforts to comply with such Act and Rules and
Regulations, the contractor will promptly so notify the Illinois Fair Employment Practices

9
 Commission and the contracting agency and will recruit employees from other sources
when necessary to fulfill its obligations thereunder.

(5) That, it will submit reports as required by the Illinois Fair Employment Practices
Commission's Rules and Regulations for Public Contracts, furnish all relevant information
as may from time to time be requested by the Commission or the contracting agency, and in

Rules and Regulations for Public Contracts.

(6) That, it will permit access to all relevant books, records, accounts and work sites by
personnel of the contracting agency and the Illinois Fair Employment Practices Commission
for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with the Illinois Fair Employment
Practices Act and the Commission's Rules and Regulations for Public Contracts.

(7) That, it will include verbatim or by reference the provisions of paragraphs 1 through 7
of this clause in every performance subcontract as defined in Section 2.10 (b) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations for Public Contracts so that such provisions will be
binding upon every such subcontractor; and that it will also so include the provisions of
paragraphs 1, 5, 6 and 7 in every supply subcontract as defined in Section 2.10 (a) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations for Public Contracts so that such provisions will be
binding upon every such subcontractor. In the same manner as with other provisions of this
contract, the contractor will be liable for compliance with applicable provisions of this
clause by all its subcontractors; and further it will promptly notify the contracting agency
and the Illinois Fair Employment Practices Commission in the event any subcontractor fails
or refuses to comply therewith. In addition, no contractor will utilize any subcontractor
declared by the Commission to be not responsible and therefore ineligible for contracts or
subcontracts with the State of Illinois or any of its political subdivisions or municipal
corporations.

With respect to the two types of subcontractors referred to under paragraph 7 of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Clause above, following is an excerpt of Section 2 of the FEPC's
Rules and Regulations for Public Contracts:

"Section 2.0. The term "Subcontract" means any agreement, arrangement or

understanding, written or otherwise between a contractor and any person (in which the
parties do not stand in the relationship of an employer and an employee):

(a) for the furnishing of supplies or services or for the use of real or personal
property, including lease arrangements, which, in whole or in part, is utilized in the
performance of any one or more contracts; or

(b) under which any portion of the contractor's obligation under any one or more
contracts is performed, undertaken or assumed."

Prevailing Wage (Contract)

All wages paid by the CONTRACTOR shall be in compliance with the Prevailing Wage Act

10
(820 ILCS 130/0.01 et seq.), as amended, except where a prevailing wage violates a federal law,

prevailing wage rates for Cook County for March 2010 are attached hereto marked as Exhibit
“A” and made a part hereof. If the Department of Labor revises the wage rates, the revised rate
shall apply to this AGREEMENT and the CONTRACTOR will not be allowed additional
compensation on account of said revisions.

The CONTRACTOR shall make and keep, for a period of not less than three (3) years, records
of all laborers, mechanics, and other workers employed by them on the PROJECT; the records
shall include each worker’s name, address, telephone number when available, social security
number, classification or classifications, the hourly wages paid in each period, the number of
hours worked each day, and the starting and ending times of work each day.
The CONTRACTOR shall submit monthly, in person, by mail, or electronically a certified
payroll to the VILLAGE. The certified payroll shall consist of a complete copy of the records.

b. the hourly rate paid to each worker is not less than the general prevailing
rate of hourly wages required; and
c. the CONTRACTOR is aware that filing a certified payroll that he or she
knows to be false is a Class B misdemeanor.

Upon two (2) business days’ notice, the CONTRACTOR shall make available for inspection the
records to the VILLAGE, its officers and agents, and to the Director of Labor and his deputies
and agents at all reasonable hours at a location within this State. The Contractor and each
subcontractor shall permit his/her employees to be interviewed on the job, during working hours,
by compliance investigators of the VILLAGE or the Department of Labor.

Contractor’s Registration
The successful bidder awarded a contract shall be required to register with the Village of
Westchester on attached document (Exhibit G). The bond and insurance requirements of this
contract will take precedence over the requirements on the contractor’s registration sheet.
Contractor will be responsible for registration fees. Registration will be valid until the end of the
calendar year. Any additional work done for residents will require fulfillment of the separate
insurance and bond requirements listed on the contractor’s registration sheet.

Contract Bond
The successful bidder awarded a contract shall furnish the Village of Westchester a performance
and payment bond with good and sufficient sureties in the full amount of the contract as the
penal sum. (See the Public Construction Bond Act [30 ILCS 550].) The surety shall be
acceptable to the Village of Westchester, shall waive notice of any changes and extensions of
time, and shall submit its bond on the form furnished by the Village of Westchester.

Default of Contractor
Time is of the essence in this Contract. Any failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with the

11
conditions and specifications hereof, or to fail to complete this Contract in the time specified in the
Contract, shall be reason for cancellation or termination of this Contract. The Village may, upon
ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor of its default hereunder, proceed to cancel the
Contract, re-bid it or let it to any reasonable alternate contractor. If the Village cancels the
Contract, re-bids the Contract or lets the Contract to a reasonable alternate contractor, the
Contractor shall be reimbursed for all work performed prior to date of termination, less any
additional costs incurred by the Village to have the services performed which were to have been
performed by the Contractor.

Use of Village's Name

The Contractor is specifically denied the right of using in any form or medium the name of the
Village for public advertising unless express permission is granted by the Village.

Use of Village Facilities

The Contractor shall not be permitted to store vehicles and/or equipment on any Village property
nor use the Village offices without the express written consent of the Village.

Assignment
The successful Contractor shall NOT assign, transfer, convey, sublet or otherwise dispose of said
contract, or his right, title or interest in or to same, or any part thereof, without previous consent in
writing from the Village.

BID SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTRACT FOR

FIRE HYDRANT PAINTING

The undersigned ("Contractor") agrees to provide to the Village of Westchester, an Illinois

municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "Village," Fire Hydrant Painting conforming to
the following detailed specifications with such exceptions or modifications, as are herewith set
forth, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the "Request for
Proposal".

Introduction
The Village of Westchester is issuing a Request For Proposal (RFP) that contains two Alternate
Bid Requests (Alternate A and Alternate B). These Alternate bids are for the surface
preparation, priming, and re-painting of 960 fire hydrants within the Village limits (950 red
hydrants and 10 yellow hydrants). The fire hydrants have been identified as containing lead
paint. Appendix H of this bid packet contains the laboratory report confirming the presence of
lead paint on the fire hydrant surfaces. This RFP is requesting that bidders provide pricing for
Alternate A, Alternate B, or both as presented below. The Village, after reviewing the bids for
each alternate, reserves the right to select either Alternate A or Alternate B or neither at its sole
discretion. The winning bid will be the lowest responsible and responsive bid of either Alternate
A or Alternate B.

The objective of these specifications is to provide the material and workmanship necessary to
produce a quality coating system on the fire hydrants within the Village of Westchester.

Project Location
There are 960 fire hydrants within the Village of Westchester limits that will require lead paint
removal, priming, and re-painting. Hydrant locations will include main streets, neighborhood
streets and service drives. Proper traffic control will be required at all times.

Alternate A

Sandblasting to bare metal, Priming, and Re-Painting of Fire Hydrants

The Contractor will follow the recommendations for surface preparation protocol SSPC-SP6 as
outlined in the Surface Preparation section of the Paint Specifications provided in this bid packet.
Coating System
Surface Preparation
Before blast cleaning, visible deposits of oil or grease shall be removed by any of the methods
specified in SSPC-SP1 Solvent Cleaning.

The CONTRACTOR shall abrasive blast clean all surfaces to remove all rust, mil scale and
existing paint on the entire hydrant in accordance with the Society of Professional Coatings
Commercial Blast Clean for steel (SSPC-SP6) for steel, which includes containment and proper
disposal of the lead paint.

13
General. The existing fire hydrant coatings contain lead and may also contain other toxic metals.
This specification provides the requirements for containment and for the protection of the public, and
the environment from exposure to harmful levels of toxic metals that may be present in the paint
being removed or repaired. The Contractor shall take necessary precautions to protect the public
from the inhalation or ingestion of dust or debris from the operations, and is responsible for the
clean-up of all spills of waste at no additional cost to the Village of Westchester.

The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of this Specification and all applicable Federal,
State, and Local laws, codes, and regulations, including, but not limited to the regulations of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). The Contractor
shall comply with all applicable regulations even if the regulation is not specifically referenced
herein. If a Federal, State, or Local regulation is more restrictive than the requirements of this
Specification, the more restrictive requirements shall prevail.

Paint
All material shall be brought to the job site in the original sealed and labeled containers of the
paint manufacturer and shall be subject to inspection by the Village. The CONTRACTOR shall
submit to the Village, immediately upon completion of the job, certification from the paint
manufacturer indicating that the quantity of each coating purchased was sufficient to coat all
surfaces in accordance with the specifications and manufacturer’s recommendations. No
substitutions for the primer or paint are permissible.

Prime Coat- Sherman Williams Kem Kromik Universal Metal Primer

Before any rusting occurs, the CONTRACTOR shall apply one coat of Sherman Williams Kem
Kromik Universal Metal Primer to all surfaces to achieve a wet film thickness recommended by
the manufacturer (listed on the primer specification sheet- Appendix I). All peaks in the surface
profile shall be thoroughly coated.

Top Coat- Sherman Williams Sea Guard 1000

The CONTRACTOR shall use Sherman Williams Sea Guard 1000. No substitutions allowed.
The CONTRACTOR shall coat all surfaces to achieve a wet film thickness recommended by the
manufacturer (listed on the paint specification sheet- Appendix J). 950 hydrants will be painted
red and 10 hydrants will be painted yellow.

2nd Top Coat- Sherman Williams Sea Guard 1000

Apply a second top coat after the manufacturer’s recommended drying time to provide complete
coverage, as needed. The need for a 2nd top coat will be determined by visual inspection and
achieving the manufacturer’s recommended dry film thickness.

The CONTRACTOR shall apply paint in strict accordance with the applicable manufacturer’s
printed data sheet and container label outlining recommended minimum and maximum surface and
air temperatures required for application. Paint shall not be applied to wet or damp surfaces and
shall not be applied in rain, snow, fog or mist or when the relative humidity exceeds 85%.
No paint shall be applied when it is expected that the relative humidity will exceed 85% and/or the
air temperature will drop below recommended levels within 12 hours after paint application. Dew or
14
moisture condensation should be anticipated, and if such conditions are prevalent, painting shall be
delayed until certain that the surfaces are dry. Painting should be completed well in advance of the
probable time of day when condensation will occur in order to permit the film an appropriate drying
time prior to the formation of moisture on the surface.
The coating shall be applied at the specified thickness. If the specified thickness is not obtained,
an additional coat(s) of paint shall be applied. Wet film thickness shall be measured in
accordance with current ASTM D4414-95, “Standard Practice for Measurement of Wet Film
Thickness by Notched Gages”. Dry film thickness shall be measured in accordance with current
SSPC PA2, “Dry Paint Thickness with Magnetic Gauges”.
Proper protection of the surface adjacent to the hydrants is required to prevent abrasion or
coloring. Preventative actions must be taken to prevent blast material and paint over-spray from
damaging adjacent property and vehicles.

Traffic Control/Job Site Control

Proper traffic control shall be used in all situations.
Proper protection of pedestrian and vehicular traffic is required. All claims of negligence in
painting and/or blasting will be resolved by the CONTRACTOR prior to final payment.
The Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the Village of Westchester, of and
from any and all claims or judgments and all and any loss, cost, damage or expense, including
attorney's fees, arising out of the negligent and/or willful and wanton performance of the work by
the contractor and or any work performaed in violation of any and all applicable Federal, State, and
Local laws, codes, and regulations, including, but not limited to the regulations of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA).

Containment/Disposal Requirements
Existing paint systems containing lead and/or other heavy metals require compliance with
environmental safety and health regulations during surface preparation procedures. Refer to
applicable federal, station and local regulations prior to proceeding.
When required by federal, state or local regulation, the entire hydrant shall be enclosed and
surface preparation debris contained. Refer to SSPC-GUIDE 6 (CON), “Guide for Containing

equal), and shall provide evidence of successful completion of 2 projects of similar or
greater complexity and scope that have been completed in the last 2 years. Proof of initial
certification and the current annual training shall also be provided.

Quality Assurance (QA) Observations. The Village of Westchester or its Engineer will
conduct QA observations of any or all of the QC monitoring inspections that are
undertaken. The presence or activity of Village or Engineer observations in no way
relieves the Contractor of the responsibility to provide all necessary daily QC inspections of
its own and to comply with all requirements of this Specification.

Containment Requirements. The Contractor shall install and maintain containment

systems surrounding the work for the purpose of controlling emissions of dust and debris
according to the requirements of this specification.

The containment (tarp) shall be folded up and stabilized in the event of sustained winds of

22
40 mph (64 kph) or greater and all materials and equipment secured.

Containment for the cleaning operation of this contract is defined as follows:

• The containment system shall maintain the work area free of visible emissions of
dust and debris according to all provisions of this Specification, with no debris
permitted outside of the regulated area at any time. All debris within the regulated
area and within the containment shall be collected at the completion of the paint
removal process for any single fire hydrant, and properly stored in sealed
containers. Cleaning shall be accomplished by HEPA vacuuming.

The containment systems shall comply with the specified SSPC Guide 6
classifications as presented in Table 1 for the method of paint removal utilized.

The Contractor shall take appropriate action to avoid personnel injury or damage to the
hydrants from the installation and use of the containment system. If the Village of
Westchester or its Engineer determines that there is the potential for damage caused by the
installed containment system, the Contractor shall take appropriate action to correct the
situation.

In addition to complying with the specific containment requirements in Table 1 for each method
of removal, the Contractor shall provide and maintain coverage over the ground in the areas to
be cleaned. This coverage shall be capable of catching and containing surface preparation media,
paint chips, and paint dust. The containment materials shall be cleaned of loose material prior
to relocation or dismantling. Acceptable methods of cleaning include HEPA vacuuming, and/or
wet wiping. If paint chips or dust is observed escaping from the containment materials during
moving, all associated operations shall be halted and the materials and components re-cleaned.

The containment systems shall also meet the following requirements:

The Contractor shall attach containment materials around and under the work area to catch
and contain abrasive and waste materials in the event of an accidental escape from the
vacuum shroud. This containment is in addition to the ground covers specified earlier.

a) Vacuum-Shrouded Power Tool Cleaning within Containment (SSPC-Class 3P)

The Contractor shall utilize power tools equipped with vacuums and High Efficiency
Particulate Air (HEPA) filters. This containment is in addition to the ground covers
specified earlier and shall be installed within 10 ft. (3m) of the areas being cleaned.

b) Power Tool Cleaning without Vacuum, within Containment (SSPC-Class 2P)

When the use of power tools without vacuum attachments is authorized by the Village of
Westchester or its Engineer, the Contractor shall securely install flooring (tarp) around
the work area to capture and collect all debris that is generated. Containment beneath
the work shall be within 10 ft. (3m) of the areas being cleaned, and is in addition to the

23
 ground covers specified earlier.

Environmental Controls and Monitoring. The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the
Village of Westchester or its Engineer for review and acceptance, an Environmental
Monitoring Plan. The purpose of the plan is to address the observations and equipment
monitoring undertaken by the Contractor to confirm that project dust and debris are not
escaping the containment into the surrounding air, soil, and water.

a) Soil and Water. Containment systems shall be maintained to prevent the escape of
paint chips, abrasives, and other debris into the water, and onto the ground, soil, slope
protection, and pavements. Releases or spills of, paint chips, abrasives, dust and debris
that have become deposited on surrounding property, structures, equipment or vehicles,
and bodies of water are unacceptable. If there are inadvertent spills or releases, the
Contractor shall immediately shut down the emissions-producing operations, clean up
the debris, and change work practices, modify the containment, or take other
appropriate corrective action as needed to prevent similar releases from occurring in
the future.

At the conclusion of paint removal from any single fire hydrant at a minimum, the work
area on top of and below containment, including ground tarpaulins, shall be inspected
to verify that paint debris is not present. If debris is observed, it shall be removed by
hand and HEPA-vacuuming. With the ground tarpaulins, debris should be protected
from accidental release by securely covering the waste, folding the waste into the
ground tarps, or by other acceptable methods. Prior to commencing work the next day,
the debris from the folded ground tarps shall be removed.

Upon project completion, the ground and surrounding area in and around the project site
are considered to have been properly cleaned if paint chips, paint removal media (e.g.,
spent abrasives), fuel, materials of construction, litter, or other project debris have
been removed, even if the material being cleaned was a pre-existing condition.

b) Visible Emissions. The Contractor shall conduct observations of visible emissions and
releases on an ongoing daily basis when dust-producing activities are underway, such
as paint removal, clean up, waste handling, and containment dismantling or relocation.
Note that visible emissions observations do not apply to the fine mist that may escape
through permeable containment materials when wet methods of preparation are used.

Visible emissions in excess of SSPC Guide 6, Level 1 (1% of the workday) are
unacceptable. In an 8-hour workday, this equates to emissions of a cumulative duration
no greater than 4.8 minutes (288 seconds). This criterion applies to scattered, random
emissions of short duration. Sustained emissions from a given location (e.g., 1 minute
or longer), regardless of the total length of emissions for the workday, are
unacceptable and action shall be initiated to halt the emission.

If unacceptable visible emissions or releases are observed, the Contractor shall

immediately shut down the emission-producing operations, clean up the debris, and

24
 change work practices, modify the containment, or take other appropriate corrective
action as needed to prevent similar releases from occurring in the future.

Regulated Areas. Physically demarcated regulated area(s) shall be established around

exposure producing operations at the OSHA Action Level for the toxic metal(s) present in
the coating. The Contractor shall provide all required protective clothing and equipment
for personnel entering into a regulated area. Unprotected street clothing is not permitted
within the regulated areas.

personnel. This equipment shall be suitable to allow inspection access to any area in
which work is being performed.

Site Emergencies.

a) Stop Work. The Contractor shall stop work at any time the conditions are not within
specifications and take the appropriate corrective action. The stoppage will continue
until conditions have been corrected. Standby time and cost required for corrective
action is at the Contractor's expense. The occurrence of the following events shall be
reported in writing to the Village of Westchester or its Engineer and shall require the
Contractor to automatically stop lead paint removal and initiate clean up activities.

• Breaks or rips in containment tarps.

• Visible emissions in excess of the specification tolerances.
• Serious injury within the containment area.
• Fire or safety emergency
• Respiratory system failure.

b) Contingency Plans and Arrangements. The Engineer will refer to the contingency plan
for site specific instructions in the case of emergencies.

The Contractor shall prepare a contingency plan for emergencies including fire,

25
 accident, failure of power, failure of dust collection system, failure of supplied air
system or any other event that may require modification of standard operating
procedures during lead removal. The plan shall include specific procedures to ensure
safe egress and proper medical attention in the event of an emergency. The Contractor
shall post the telephone numbers and locations of emergency services including fire,
ambulance, doctor, hospital, police, power company and telephone company on clean
side of personnel decontamination area.

A copy of the contingency plan shall remain with the Contractor during cleaning
operations and during the time the Contractor's personnel are at the site under this
contract. The Contractor shall designate the emergency coordinator(s) required who
shall be responsible for the activities described.

the Village of Westchester are considered to be co-generators of the waste.

The Contractor is responsible for all aspects of waste collection, testing and identification,
handling, storage, transportation, and disposal according to these specifications and all
applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations. The Contractor shall provide for Village
or Engineer review and acceptance of a Waste Management Plan that addresses all aspects
of waste handling, storage, and testing, and provides the names, addresses, and a contact
person for the proposed licensed waste haulers and disposal facilities. The Village of
Westchester or its Engineer will not perform any functions relating to the waste other than
provide provide the Contractor with the emergency response information, the emergency
response telephone number required to be provided on the manifest, and to sign the waste
manifest.

All surface preparation/paint residues shall be collected daily and deposited in all-weather
containers supplied by the Contractor as temporary storage. The storage area shall be
secure to prevent unauthorized entry or tampering with the containers. Acceptable
measures include storage within a locked area, vehicle, or implementing other reasonable
means to reduce the possibility of vandalism or exposure of the waste to the public or the
environment (e.g., securing the lids or covers of waste containers). Waste shall not be
stored outside of the containers. Waste shall be collected and transferred to bulk
containers taking extra precautions as necessary to prevent the suspension of residues in
air or contamination of surrounding surfaces. Precautions may include the transfer of the
material within a tarpaulin enclosure.

No residues shall remain on surfaces overnight, inside or outside, on top of or below

containment. Waste materials shall not be removed through storm sewer drains.

The all-weather containers shall meet the requirements for the transportation of hazardous
materials and as approved by the Village of Westchester or its Engineer. Acceptable
containers include covered roll-off boxes and 55-gallon drums (17H). The Contractor shall
insure that no breaks and no deterioration of these containers occurs. The containers shall
be kept closed and sealed from moisture except during the addition of waste. Each

26
container shall be permanently identified with the date that waste was placed into the
container, contract number, hazardous waste name and ID number, and other information
required by the IEPA or disposal facility.

If approved abrasive additives are used that render the waste non-hazardous as determined
by TCLP testing, the waste shall be classified as a non-hazardous special waste,
transported by a licensed waste transporter, and disposed of at an IEPA permitted disposal
facility in Illinois.

When paint is removed from the fire hydrants without the use of abrasive additives, the
paint, together with the surface preparation media (e.g. abrasive) shall be handled as a
hazardous waste, regardless of the TCLP results.

The treatment/disposal facilities shall be approved by the Village of Westchester or its

Engineer, and shall hold an IEPA permit for waste disposal and waste stream
authorization for this cleaning residue. The IEPA permit and waste stream authorization
must be obtained prior to beginning cleaning, except that if necessary, limited paint
removal will be permitted in order to obtain samples of the waste for the disposal
facilities. The waste shall be shipped to the facility within 90 days of the first
accumulation of the waste in the containers. When permitted by the Village of
Westchester or its Engineer, waste from multiple fire hydrants in the same contract may
be transported by the Contractor to a central waste storage location(s) approved by the
Village of Westchester or its Engineer in order to consolidate the material for pick up, and
to minimize the storage of waste containers at multiple remote sites after demobilization.
Arrangements for the final waste pickup shall be made with the waste hauler by the time
cleaning operations are completed or as required to meet the 90 day limit stated above.

The Contractor shall prepare a manifest supplied by the IEPA for off-site treatment and
disposal before transporting the hazardous waste off-site. The Contractor shall prepare a
land ban notification for the waste to be furnished to the disposal facility. The Contractor
shall obtain the handwritten signature of the initial transporter and date of the acceptance
of the manifest. The Contractor shall send one copy of the manifest to the IEPA within
two working days of transporting the waste off-site. The Contractor shall furnish the
generator copy of the manifest and a copy of the land ban notification to the Engineer. The
Contractor shall give the transporter the remaining copies of the manifest.

All other project waste shall be removed from the site according to Federal, State and
Local regulations, with all waste removed from the site prior to final Contractor
demobilization.

The Contractor is responsible for the payment of any fines and undertaking any clean up
activities mandated by State or federal environmental agencies for improper waste
handling, storage, transportation, or disposal.

Contractor personnel shall be trained in the proper handling of hazardous waste, and the
necessary notification and clean up requirements in the event of a spill. The Contractor

27
shall maintain a copy of the personnel training records during the project.

The SSPC Classification is based on SSPC Guide 6. Note that for work over water, water
booms or boats with skimmers must be employed, where feasible, to contain spills or
releases. Debris must be removed daily at a minimum.
3
Permeability addresses both air and water as appropriate. In the case of water removal
methods, the containment materials must be resistant to water. Ground covers should
always impermeable, and of sufficient strength to withstand the impact and weight of the
debris and the equipment used for collection and clean-up. Ground covers must also
extend beyond the containment boundary to capture escaping debris.
4
If debris escapes through the seams, then additional sealing of the seams and joints is
required.
5
When "Natural" is listed, ventilation is not required provided the emissions are controlled as
specified in this Special Provision, and provided worker exposures are properly controlled. If
unacceptable emissions or worker exposures to lead or other toxic metals occur,
incorporate a ventilation system into the containment.
6
Ground covers and wall tarpaulins may provide suitable controls over emissions without
the need to completely enclose the work area.
'
This method applies to water cleaning to remove surface contaminants, and water jetting
(with and without abrasive) and wet abrasive blast cleaning where the goal is to remove
paint. Although both permeable and impermeable containment materials are included,
ground covers and the lower portions of the containment must be water impermeable with
fully sealed joints, and of sufficient strength and integrity to facilitate the collection and
holding of the water and debris for proper disposal. If water or debris, other than mist,
escape through upper sidewalls or ceiling areas constructed of permeable materials, they
shall be replaced with impermeable materials. Permeable materials for the purpose of this
specification are defined as materials with openings measuring 25 mils (1 micron) or less
in greatest dimension.

A. Containment Components - The basic components that make up containment systems

are defined below. The components are combined in Table 1 to establish the minimum
containment system requirements for the method(s) of paint removal specified for the
Contract.

1. Rigidity of Containment Materials - Rigid containment materials consist of solid

panels of plywood, aluminum, rigid metal, plastic, fiberglass, composites, or
similar materials. Flexible materials consist of screens, tarps, drapes, plastic
sheeting, or similar materials. When directed by the Engineer, do not use
flexible materials for horizontal surfaces directly over traffic lanes or vertical
surfaces in close proximity to traffic lanes. If the Engineer allows the use of
flexible materials, The Contractor shall take special precautions to completely
secure the materials to prevent any interference with traffic.

2. Permeability of Containment Materials - The containment materials are

identified as air impenetrable if they are impervious to dust or wind such as
provided by rigid panels, coated solid tarps, or plastic sheeting. Air penetrable
materials are those that are formed or woven to allow air flow. Water

30
 impermeable materials are those that are capable of containing and controlling
water when wet methods of preparation are used. Water permeable materials
allow the water to pass through. Chemical resistant materials are those
resistant to chemical and solvent stripping solutions. Use fire retardant
materials in all cases.

3. Support Structure - Rigid support structures consist of scaffolding and framing

to which the containment materials are affixed to minimize movement of the
containment cocoon. Flexible support structures are comprised of cables,
chains, or similar systems to which the containment materials are affixed. Use
fire retardant materials in all cases.

4. Containment Joints - Fully sealed joints require that mating surfaces between
the containment materials and to the structure being prepared are completely
sealed. Sealing measures include tape, caulk, Velcro, clamps, or other similar
material capable of forming a continuous, impenetrable or impermeable seal.
When materials are overlapped, a minimum overlap of 8 in. (200 mm) is
required.

5. Entryway - An airlock entryway involves a minimum of one stage that is fully

sealed to the containment and which is maintained under negative pressure
using the ventilation system of the containment. Resealable door entryways
involve the use of flexible or rigid doors capable of being repeatedly opened
and resealed. Sealing methods include the use of zippers, Velcro, clamps, or
similar fasteners. Overlapping door tarpaulin entryways consist of two or three
overlapping door tarpaulins.

6. Mechanical Ventilation - The requirement for mechanical ventilation is to ensure

that adequate air movement is achieved to reduce worker exposure to toxic
metals to as low as feasible according to OSHA regulations (e.g., 29 CFR
1926.62), and to enhance visibility. Design the system with proper exhaust
ports or plenums, adequately sized ductwork, adequately sized discharge fans
and air cleaning devices (dust collectors) and properly sized and distributed
make-up air points to achieve a uniform air flow inside containment for visibility.
The design target for airflow shall be a minimum of 100 ft. (30.5m) per minute
cross-draft or 60 ft. (18.3 m) per minute downdraft. Increase these minimum
airflow requirements if necessary to address worker lead exposures. Natural
ventilation does not require the use of mechanical equipment for moving dust
and debris through the work area.

7. Negative Pressure - When specified, achieve a minimum of 0.03 in. (7.5 mm)
water column (W.C.) relative to ambient conditions, or confirm through visual
assessments for the concave appearance of the containment enclosure.

8. Exhaust Ventilation - When mechanical ventilation systems are used, provide

filtration of the exhaust air, to achieve a filtration efficiency of 99.9 percent at
0.02 mils (0.5 microns).
