This document is a Regulated Building Materials Survey Report prepared by Mabbett & Associates, Inc. for the A/E Design Services for Building 4 Elevator Replacement at the Brockton Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). The report details the findings of an asbestos-containing material (ACM) survey and a limited lead-containing paint (LCP) survey conducted on November 7, 2018. The survey focused on areas of Building 4 potentially impacted by planned renovations.

This report is crucial for bidders involved in the Building 4 Elevator Replacement project at Brockton VAMC. It identifies specific locations and types of regulated building materials, including:

• Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM):
  • Black Residual Mastic associated with 12" x 12" Floor Tile in the 2nd Floor Elevator Lobby (estimated quantity: 200 SF).
  • Elevator Brake Pads in the Elevator Equipment Penthouse (estimated quantity: 2 Components).
  • Mastic associated with 12"x12" Gray Floor Tile in the 2nd Floor Elevator Lobby was found to contain 2% Chrysotile.
• Lead Containing Paint (LCP):
  • Samples from the White Elevator Shaft (Staff and Passenger Elevators) showed lead concentrations of 0.035% and 0.016% respectively.
  • Red Hoisting Equipment in the Elevator Equipment Penthouse showed a lead concentration of 2.18%.

Bidders must be aware of these findings as ACM must be abated by licensed contractors, and lead-containing materials require specific management and disposal procedures in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. The report also includes limitations, noting that inaccessible areas were not surveyed and that any suspect materials encountered during renovation not identified as non-ACM should be assumed to be ACM.
