Bureau Veritas will sample any friable and/or damage non-friable suspect ACM identified during the site visit. Intact non-friable suspect ACM will not be sampled but its presence will be recorded for inclusion in the report. Representative bulk samples of suspect ACM will be collected by the Asbestos Inspector. These bulk samples will be collected in a safe manner; however, slight damage may occur to the surfaces from which the samples are collected. Client acknowledges that such damage may be inevitable and agrees to hold Bureau Veritas harmless for such damage. Client agrees that Bureau Veritas is NOT responsible for any damages caused by this sampling and that subsequent repairs and the cost of such repairs are NOT the responsibility of Bureau Veritas. All samples will be analyzed using approved EPA test methods by a NVLAP-accredited laboratory for analysis via polarized light microscopy and dispersion staining (PLM) at a cost of $15.00 per sample.  Bureau Veritas anticipates that approximately 50 samples will be analyzed during the course of this survey.  No more than 50 samples will be analyzed without obtaining verbal authorization from the client.  Analysis of additional samples (greater than 50) will be billed at a unit rate of $15.00 per sample. Bureau Veritas will prepare a screening report summarizing the findings from the laboratory analysis, with recommendations, if applicable. Lead-Based Paint Screening A State Certified Lead Inspector will perform an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) lead-based paint (LBP) screening of representative residential units as well as various common areas and exterior surfaces. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development Guidelines (HUD)-Chapters 7 (Revised 2012) for residential properties constructed prior to 1978 but will not be a HUD compliant LBP inspection. This proposal includes the inspection of # units and common areas. This is a screening approach to identify lead-based paint at the property prior to renovation. This is not for lead-based paint compliance or to achieve lead-free certification. The testing will include but is not limited to walls, baseboards, window casings, window jambs, window sills, window aprons, doors, door casings, door jambs, cabinets and other painted components according to HUD criteria for testing of lead in paint. The licensed inspector(s) will use RMD-LPA-1 or Niton XRF instrument, which are state of the art equipment available in the marketplace today. The instrument is approved by all federal, state and local governments and recommended for use in detecting lead paint. The instrument is completely non-destructive and yields instantaneous results. Bureau Veritas will prepare a report summarizing the findings from the XRF testing, with recommendations, if applicable. ACCESSIBILITY SURVEY OF EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR COMMON SPACE ELEMENTS AND ACCESSIBLE TENANT UNIT INTERIOR SPACE ELEMENTS FOR USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT HOUSING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Bureau Veritas (BV) understands that the purpose of the Client’s request for accessibility assessments is to assist in determining that all facilities, including designated accessible tenant dwelling units, have been constructed in full compliance with the requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, UFAS regulations, and where applicable, the ADA Accessibility Guidelines, and state of California and local accessibility codes. The ADA Accessibility Guidelines apply only to areas which accommodate the public, such as rental offices and parking associated with the rental offices, as well as any areas available to the general public/non-lessors for short term rental occupancy, such as pools and party rooms. Application of Chapters 11A or 11B respectively of the California Building Code for compliance of dwelling units is dependent upon the date of construction of individual properties. For all properties originally built as housing and ready for occupancy on or before March 13, 1991, the Fair Housing Act requirements do not apply. Based on initial research, all properties of the portfolio were built as housing and were ready for occupancy on or before March 13, 1991, and therefore, Fair Housing will not be applied to this portfolio. If the Fair Housing Act is deemed to apply to any properties, the client shall provide architectural and construction drawings to determine which Fair Housing Act safe harbor was used for the design of the housing development. If that determination cannot be made, the Fair Housing Act safe harbor used for the evaluation of the property will be the 2015 International Building Code. Up to 100% of the Section 504 required accessible tenant units will be observed or minimum one of each type of unit, whichever is greater. Minimum 5% of the total tenant units are required to accommodate mobility challenged individuals. Minimum 2% of the total tenant units are required to be communication units to accommodate visual and audio challenged individuals. The common area features of the property will be subject to observation, which will include but not be limited to exterior elements, such as parking lots, sidewalks, ramps, curb ramps, and all interior common areas accessible to residents and employees, such as entrances and exits, services, dining, and elevators.
