Hello,
I have taken many liberties as I have do not know how many windows or linear feet of caulking requires removal. Below is an outline of a conceptual approach and budgetary costs.
Conceptual Approach:
· Measure total linear footage of caulking within school buildings
· Collect necessary samples and analyze for PCBs
· Investigate potential secondary and sink sources
· Conduct the removal of source PCBs “assumed caulking” under a Bulk Product Removal
· Conduct cleaning of rooms in accordance with previously performed techniques that proved successful.
· Conduct air testing to determine effectiveness and evaluate if more sources need removal or substrate requires management
Budgetary Pricing based on assumptions of quantities:
· Measure total linear footage of caulking within school buildings, collect necessary samples and analyze for PCBs, Investigate potential secondary and sink sources
§ $125,000
· Conduct the removal of source PCBs “assumed caulking” under a Bulk Product Removal – assumes ~20,000 linear feet of caulking
§ Between $15-$30 per linear foot – $300,000 – $600,000
· Conduct cleaning of rooms in accordance with previously performed techniques that proved successful.
§ Assumes 30 days at $5,000 per day – $150,000 (crews can be doubled up to reduce time)
· Conduct air testing to determine effectiveness and evaluate if more sources need removal or substrate requires management
§ $50,000
· Reinstallation of Caulking –
§ ~$10 per linear foot – $200,000
It is conceivable the source removal can occur for a range around $900,000 to $1,125,000. This is purely an estimate with site unseen and should not be interpreted as a cost of services. I would be happy to visit the site in the event there is interest to perform this work.
I have provided a list of projects I managed that implemented similar approaches:
- MIT Westgate
- Harvard Peabody Terrance
- UMass Lederle
- UMass Southwest Concourse
- Lexington Estabrook School
- Westport Middle
- New Bedford High
- Southeast Regional Vocational School
- Town of Princeton – Thomas Prince School
- City of Worcester
- North Reading High
- Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical High School
- Private Developer – 535,000 SF building removal of PCBs (full removal of PCBs in substrate to 1ppm)
