required.
(8) An entry/exit log in compliance with the requirements set forth in Title 15, Chapter 1 of the RCNY
shall be maintained in the clean room. The site supervisor shall maintain an activity log.
(9) Initially, the interior of the elevator shaft, including the top of the elevator car and the elevator pit,
shall be HEPA vacuumed and wet wiped to allow for the use of the elevator during the clean up.
Once the clean up throughout the building is complete, the elevator shaft, including the top of the
elevator car and the elevator pit, shall be re-cleaned prior to clearance air monitoring.
(10) Isolation barrier locations (i.e.: wall or ceiling penetrations, windows, vents, doors, etc.) shall be
HEPA vacuumed and wet wiped prior to installing two-layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting and
sealed with tape. Window wells, ledges, guards, etc., that are accessible from the interior shall be
cleaned.
(11) Negative pressure ventilation equipment shall be installed and operated continuously 24 hours per
day during all clean-up activities. Equipment shall run continuously until clearance air monitoring.
A minimum of one air change every 15 minutes shall be provided. When ducting to the outside is
not possible, a second negative air unit compatible with the primary unit may be connected in series.
(12) All debris and/or dust shall be misted and double bagged. Accumulation of water is prohibited.
Water misting shall be sufficient to wet the material without water accumulations. Caution shall be
taken to avoid wetting items that may be damaged by wet methods. An encapsulating agent shall
not be applied. Once all surfaces have been wet wiped and HEPA vacuumed a second cleaning
shall be performed. Surfaces include but are not limited to walls, floors, ceilings, ledges,
windowsills, trims, appliances, equipment, personal items, and furnishings. Drop ceilings shall be
HEPA vacuumed. Care shall be taken not to disturb the fireproofing or damage the ceiling.

waste. Disposal of material may not occur without prior authorization by the building owner and/or
tenant, as applicable. Items identified by tenants for cleaning that cannot be cleaned shall be
immediately brought to the attention of DEP. DEP will provide a determination. Any agreement to
dispose the item(s) must be received in writing from the owner and/or tenant as applicable.
(14) The substrate beneath buckled floors shall be exposed by the contractor and cleaned (authorization
from owner shall be obtained). Removed flooring shall be wrapped in two-layers of polyethylene
sheeting, sealed with tape, and appropriately labeled. The contractor shall not be responsible for
replacement of the floor.
(15) Tenant and/or owner, as applicable, must identify items to be cleaned or disposed. Tags shall be
placed on items to be cleaned. The contractor shall dispose untagged items unless otherwise
indicated in this scope of work. Special conditions or handling instructions may also be specified
within units. These include items/locations not to be incorporated in this scope of work. Tenants
shall provide written notice of special instructions and items not to be handled with their
