GENESEE COUNTY MAJOR CONTRACT ADDENDUM
LOCAL WORK FORCE, MINORITY, WOMAN, AND
PERSONS WITH A DISABILITY PARTICIPATION
The purpose of this contract addendum is to promote the utilization of a local work
force, minority-, woman-, and persons with a disability-owned business, as well as
minority, female, and disabled employees in County contracts for construction
valued at $40,000 or more. In accordance with this contract addendum, all County
departments soliciting bids for projects estimated to cost $40,000 or more shall, at
the time of solicitation, forward all bid specifications to the Genesee County Office
of Equity & Diversity (GCOED), Contract Compliance Unit.
GENESEE COUNTY NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
Genesee County is committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity
(EEO). The County requires that contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and
suppliers of goods and services doing business with the County prohibit all
unlawful discrimination based on race, color, national origin, age, sex, marital
status, religion, height, weight, pregnancy or disability.
CONTRACT ADDENDUM DEFINITIONS
CONTRACT(S)
All types of County agreements, regardless of what they may be called, for the
procurement of supplies, services, or construction.
CONSTRUCTION
The process of building, altering, repairing, improving, or demolishing any public
structure or building, or other public improvements of any kind to any public real
property.
DISABILITY
A determinable physical or mental disability of an individual, or the history of a
disability, which may result from disease, injury, congenital condition of birth, or
functional disorder.
DISABLED PERSON
An individual who has a disability.
Page 1 of 11
EEO STATEMENT
A statement prohibiting discrimination in employment, education, housing, public
accommodations, or public services based on race, color, national origin, age, sex,
marital status, religion, height, weight, pregnancy, or disability.
EEO PLAN
A plan designed to correct or address systemic exclusions of racial and ethnic
minorities, women, and persons with a disability from an employer’s work force.
WOMAN-OWNED BUSINESS
A business enterprise in which one or more women own more than 50% of the
voting shares or interest in the business; control and operate more than 50% of
the business; and for which more than 50% of the net profit or loss accrues to
woman/women.
The woman ownership interest in the firm must be real, substantial, and
continuing. Such interest is characterized by the following factors:
1.
Risk of loss/share of profit commensurate with the proportional
ownership; and
2.
Receipt of the customary incidents of ownership, such as salary
and/or intangible benefits.
The business must perform a useful business function according to the custom
and practice in the industry. For example, acting merely as a conduit of funds to a
non-woman owned firm, when that is unnecessary to accomplish the business
transaction, does not constitute a useful business function according to custom
and practice in the industry.
GOOD FAITH EFFORT
Any method which establishes that the bidder has affirmatively endeavored to give
minority-, woman-, and persons-with-a-disability-owned businesses a full and
equal opportunity to participate in a County contract as a subcontractor or
employee. A bidder may demonstrate its good faith effort by providing evidence of
the following:
1.
Encouraging minority-, woman-, and persons-with-a-disability-owned
businesses to attend pre-bid meetings scheduled by the contractor
or County;
Page 2 of 11
2.
Advertising in general circulation media and trade publications, as
well as minority, woman, and persons with a disability focused
media;
3.
Providing minority-, women-, and person-with-a-disability owned
businesses with adequate information about the project, i.e.,
specifications and requirements;
4.
Negotiating with minority-, women-, and person-with-a-disability
owned businesses in good faith and;
5.
Using the services of available local, state, and federal minority-,
woman-, and persons-with-a-disability- business assistance offices
for recruitment of these respective businesses.
LOCAL WORK FORCE
Employees who are bona fide residents of Genesee County.
PERSON(S)-WITH-A-DISABILITY-OWNED BUSINESS
A business enterprise in which a disabled person or persons own more than 50%
of the voting shares or interest in the business; control and operate more than
50% of the business; and for which more than 50% of the net profit or loss accrues
to person(s) who are disabled.
The ownership interest of the disabled person in the firm must be real, substantial,
and continuing. Such interest is characterized by the following factors:
1.
Risk of loss/share of profit commensurate with the proportional
ownership; and
2.
Receipt of the customary incidents of ownership, such as salary
and/or intangible benefits.
The business must perform a useful business function according to the custom
and practice in the industry. For example, acting merely as a conduit of funds to a
non-disabled person-owned firm when that is unnecessary to accomplish the
business transaction does not constitute a useful business function according to
custom and practice in the industry.
MINORITY
A citizen of the United States who is Black, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander,
American Indian or Alaskan Native, as such are respectively defined below:
Page 3 of 11

A business enterprise in which a minority or minorities own more than 50% of the
voting shares or interest in the business and control and operate more than 50%
of the business, and with respect to which more than 50% of the net profit or loss
accrues to person who are members of a minority.
The minority ownership interest in the firm must be real, substantial, and
continuing. Such interest is characterized by the following factors:
1.
Risk of loss/share of profit commensurate with the proportional
ownership; and
2.
Receipt of the customary incidents of ownership, such as salary
and/or intangible benefits.
The business must perform a useful business function according to the custom
and practice in the industry. For example, acting merely as a conduit of funds to a
non-minority owned firm when that is unnecessary to accomplish the business
transaction does not constitute a useful business function according to custom and

The Contractor will construct decontamination facilities in pre-designated areas which will house the clean
room, shower room, dirty room, and when feasible, an equipment room. This facility will be a
three-chambered entrance air lock with shower facilities in its central chamber. The dimensions of these
chambers will be adequate for the number of men needed for the project. At least four layers of 6-mil plastic
will be placed on the floor of the entire decontamination, chamber, to prevent leakage of water from the
showers. The walls, floor, and ceiling covering of the air lock construction will be seamed to each other in a
fashion making them airtight. One end of this construction will be placed inside or at the containment barrier
walls. Each of the three chambers in the air lock will have a door at either end. This means there will be a
total of at least four doors. Except for these doors, all three chambers will be partitioned from each other
with air and watertight walls made of plastic sheeting. Both layers will be attached to the side of the door
which faces toward the work area. The first layer of plastic sheeting will be attached at the top, bottom, and
sides of the door opening. It will be slit down the middle. The second layer of plastic sheeting will be
attached only at the top of the door. It will be wider than the door opening and will hang like a flap. When air
is drawn from the clean side of the air lock to the work area side, it will cause the door flaps to lift. If air
attempts to move from the work area end of the air lock toward the clean end, it forces the flaps shut,
stopping the air flow. The central chamber will contain a shower(s). Each shower stall will sit in a pan with at
least six-inch sides. Suitable hoses will be used to supply hot and cold water to the shower.

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE PROCEDURES
SECTION 02080.330
8.01 ESTABLISHMENT OF A DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT
A.
SECTION 02080.331
Any material removal specified to be performed inside a negative pressure enclosure will be completed with
the use of full containment logistics and air filtration devices. Each unit must have three (3) filters, including
two pre filter stages, and a HEPA filter. Air filtration devices will be set up so that the air is drawn away from
the worker doing abatement. All air filtration devices shall be designed and operated in accordance with 40
CFR 61, Subpart M, Section 61.154, and OSHA 1926.58 Appendix F, in addition to 1926.1101. All air
filtration devices will run continuously once abatement has begun, and until an air sampling for clearance
and reoccupation has been conducted in accordance with this specification. An adequate number of air
filtration devices will be used in order to maintain a continuous pressure differential in all parts of the work
area of -.02 inches of water as compared to the outside of the work area. Verification of this required level
will be constantly monitored on each and every full containment.
8.02 MAINTAINING A DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT
SECTION 02080.332
A.
The Contractor shall insure that proper air filtration is maintained in all areas where abatement will be
conducted utilizing full containment. The use of negative pressure differential monitors (manometer) by the
Contractor, at their expense, for each full enclosure is mandated.
B.
The Consultant will perform daily enclosure inspections and reading of the Contractor's NP instrument to
verify the presence of a differential pressure air environment. If the results are not satisfactory, it is the
Contractor's responsibility to correct the deficient differential pressure air environment before proceeding
with further work.
8.03 DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE EXHAUST
A.
The Contractor must have the air filtration devices used during the project exhausted to the outside of the
building at all times.

ASBESTOS MATERIAL(S) WETTING
The asbestos material will be sprayed with either "amended water" which contains an additive to enhance
penetration, or a removal encapsulant, providing that the Contractor can demonstrate that the removal
encapsulant dust control properties are superior to those of amended water. A fine spray of this solution will
be applied to prevent fiber disturbance preceding the removal of the asbestos material. The asbestos will be
sufficiently saturated to prevent emission of airborne fibers in excess of the exposure limits prescribed in
the federal, state and local standards. Surrounding areas will be periodically sprayed and kept wet to
facilitate removal with minimum fiber release. A high humidity will be maintained in the work area to assist
in fiber settling.
FLOOR TILE REMOVAL
SECTION 02080.372
Floor tile removal shall be performed under full enclosure conditions. Tiles will be wetted before, during and
after removal with amended water. Removed VAT will be placed into poly lined fiber drums for disposal.
Each drum, when filled, will be sealed, labeled, cleaned and passed out of the work area for disposal as
RACM.
PIPING INSULATION MATERIAL REMOVAL
SECTION 02080.374
Mud fitting/hanger removal will be performed under full enclosure conditions. Sufficient fiberglass will be
removed on either side of the mud to ensure no mud residue remains on the pipe. The Owner's
Representative will perform a fitting/hanger count prior to this material removal, and the contractor's
competent person on site will verify the count for unit price billing purposes.
CEILING MATERIAL REMOVAL
SECTION 02080.375
ACM spray on fireproofing material removal will be performed under full enclosure conditions.
1. Removal will be done in small sections with two person teams, on staging platforms or scaffold, if
needed. Experimentation to determine the most efficient method of gross material removal will need to
take place.
2. No undue amounts of debris will be allowed to accumulate inside enclosure work areas. Debris must
be cleaned up as removal progresses in order to minimize contamination spread, keep fiber
concentrations at a minimum and expedite final cleaning. Work will be halted at any time if gross
material clean up is not to the Consultants satisfaction.

PERFORMANCE
SECTION 02080.501
Genesee County has retained the services of Sierra Technical Services, to act as the consultant for the
Project Management, collection and analysis of air monitoring samples throughout the remediation required
by all applicable government regulations, and to act on the behalf of Genesee County during the entire
abatement project.
EXECUTION
SECTION 02080.502
During the entire removal and cleaning operation, (per current OSHA, EPA, State, Local Regulations, etc.)
daily air sample monitoring will be conducted by experienced technicians of the Consultant to ensure that
the Contractor is complying with all codes, regulations, specifications, and ordinances. It must be noted
that high concentrations of fibers in the contiguous zones will require work stoppage until the problem can
be corrected. The methods that will be used are the most current OSHA Standards (29 CFR Part 1926.58.
and 1926.1101) and USEPA guidelines.
SAMPLE COLLECTION
SECTION 02080.503
The number of samples taken will be dependent on the size of the job. Listed below are typical samples
which may be collected at an abatement project:
1. Baseline: Collected before any abatement is started to establish the airborne fiber concentrations
within the building. These are sometimes used to determine how well a Contractor has cleaned the
buildings, by comparing the baseline samples with the postabatement samples.
2. Background: Collected away from the work area to establish normal fiber levels, and to be collected
simultaneously with each sample set.
3. Contiguous: Collected just outside of the work area to ensure that areas of the building beyond the
work area are not contaminated by airborne asbestos or asbestos-containing dust released by any
phase of the abatement work. A contiguous sample will be collected at each location that may be
likely to have an air leak including entrances to the work area, critical barriers and AFD exhausts.
Samples will be collected daily.
4. Worker Personal: Collected inside the work area to ensure that the workers performing the asbestos
abatement project are not exposed to contamination levels which exceed their respiratory protection or
otherwise endanger their health. The samples will be collected from the breathing zones of worker
performing the abatement.
5. Work Area: Collected inside the work area to assess the contamination levels created by the work
being performed. These samples will be collected during abatement activities in work areas where full
enclosure conditions are not employed.
6. Post Abatement: Taken after the project is completed and the work area has been cleaned.
Postabatement samples determine if the job has been done correctly and whether the cleanup process
must be repeated.
SAMPLE ANALYSIS
SECTION 02080.504
All samples shall be analyzed using the NIOSH 7400 Method (revised), the NIOSH 7402 Method, the OSHA
Reference Method from 29 CFR Part 1926.58, 1926.1101, Appendix A, or the EPA Interim Level Two
method as stated in 40 CFR Subpart E, Appendix A. All air sampling and analysis will meet the
requirements as stated in 40 CFR Subpart E.
