A. OPTION B is applicable to renovation and/or remodeling projects with
asbestos containing materials (ACM) present that is designed by an A/E

VA.
B. These special instructions cover the A/E and IH services associated with
asbestos for the Schematics, Design Development and the Construction
Documents stages of the VA design process and the construction period
services of a project. The successful design of a renovation/ remodeling
project with asbestos requires the close coordination of the IH/CIH
Consultant with the A/E team despite the fact that each has been hired
separately.
The IH consultant is not only required to have the
experience and expertise of all aspects of abatement but also have
experience working as a member of an A/E design team.
C. A/E shall be responsible for providing all design documents related to
demolition, phasing and other non-asbestos but related documents for the
project. The IH/CIH consultant shall design and produce all asbestos
abatement contract documents and fully coordinated these drawings with
A/E firm contract documents. Work requirements are the same as in
Section 3 for both the IH/CIH and the A/E Consultant. They must work
closely together to accomplish the required work.

project design/plan of action. The plan shall address each task specifically
including approach, estimated effort in man days, schedule of completion and

work in the project area. The A/E-IH/CIH team is required to become familiar

project in order to prepare their proposal. The proposal describes the work of
the A/E - IH team for project //schematic //design developing //,construction
documents //and construction period services. Repetition of statements
borrowed from the VA guide "Scope of Work" is unacceptable as the technical
plan of action.
