condition, and location of the material(s), recommends an appropriate response action such as removal,
repair, or management in place, and prioritizes the response action. When a response action of
removal or repair is recommended, the work item provides a Code A cost estimate for the action. For a
work item which recommends that the material be left in place and included in an operations and
maintenance program (O&td), no work item cost is given; instead, a Code A cost estimate for the option
of total removal and, in most cases, replacement of the materials is provided; this option is referred to as
an additive item. The Current Working Estimate (CWE) is composed of the contractor cost(s), including
mobilization/demobilization, plus costs for monitoring, site” and utilities, contingencies during
construction, and supervision and administration. The Total CWE is the sum of the Code A work item
and additive item costs (see Table 4 later in this section). These costs do not include relocation
expense or architectural and engineering fees. Cost escalation historidly exceeds 8% per annum.

At the time of the suwey, several structures were-obsewed to have asbestos conditions which require”
immediate attention, where an asbestos-containing material is damaged or exposed in such a way that
there is significant potential for personnel exposure. DEI has assigned priority ratings of from 1 to 5 to
work items with materials of concern (refer to Tables 1A and 1B). DEI’srating1 - immediatetotal
removal - designates a situation where a material should be removed as soon as possible. DEI’s rating
2- immediate repair and/or short-term removal – may designa!e a recommendation of short-term
removal (within six months); or it may designate a situation in which some immediate repair work

. management of the material in place after repairs have been performed. Regardless of the priorities
determined at the time of suwey, if changes should occur in the condition of the material or in the area
usage, potential for personnel exposure could also change. Preliminary written notifications have been
issued to Ms. Linda Finley-Miller, COE Project Manager and to the DEH Environmental Prelection
Specialist at Fort Ord for all facilities surveyed during the facility-wide suwey in which significantly
damaged materials were discovered. (See Definitions of DEI’s Priority Rating System Codes in the
Building Information section of this report for a complete listing of priorities.)

Some materials in good condition identified in the 363 structures suweyed prior to October 1991 have
been assigned rating codes of 1 to 5. At the time the reports were written for these buildings, the COE
had identified them as being scheduled for demolition; therefore, a recommendation for removal was
given.
NOTE: Asbestos-containing HVAC flexible connectors have been assigned a rating of 1 or 2 due to the
possibility of airborne asbestos fibers being released directly into the airstream. Should periodic air
monitoring for airborne asbestos fibers, in conjunction w“th an Operations and Maintenance Program,
demonstrate that there is no risk of aicbome contamination from flexible connectors (in good condition),
removal could be delayed until renovation or demolition activities warrant their removal. Flexible
connectors in gaad condition with a rating of 1 or 2 are listed in Table 1B, separate from other materials
with the same rating.
The estimated costs for abatement of confirmed asbestos-containing materials are presented in Tables
3 and 4. Table 3 shows the financial impact of abatement per type of material. These materials have
been separated according to whether they are friable or nonfriable, ~A particular material could be listed
under more than one catego~, depending on its status. When a single work item deals with both friable
