Coordination: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of construction
activities. Transmit each submittal sufficiently in advance of performance of related construction
activities to avoid delay. •
1. Coordinate each submittal with fabrication, purchasing, testing, delivery, other submittals, and
related activities that require sequential activity.
2. Coordinate transmittal of different types of submittals for related elements of the Work so
processing will not be delayed by the need to review submittals concurrently for coordination.
a. The Architect reserves the right to withhold action on a submittal requiring coordination
with other submittals until all related submittals are received.
3. Processing: To avoid the need to delay installation as a result of the time required to process
submittals, allow sufficient time for submittal review, including time for resubmittals.
a. Allow 2 weeks for initial review. Allow additional time if the Architect must delay
processing to permit coordination with subsequent submittals.
b. If an intermediate submittal is necessary, process the same as the initial submittal.
C. Allow 2 weeks for reprocessing each submittal.
d. No extension of Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals
to the Architect sufficiently in advance of the Work to permit processing.
Submittal Preparation: Place a permanent label or title block on each submittal for identification.
Indicate the name of the entity that prepared each submittal on the label or title block.
1. Provide a space approximately 4 by 5 inches (100 by 125 mm) on the label or beside the title block
on Shop Drawings to record the Contractor's review and approval markings and the action taken.

RE: Limited Asbestos Survey for Post Oak Mail -Fire Sprinkler Upgrades,
1500 Harvey Road, College Station, Texas
Dear Mr. Love:
On April 10, 2006, at your request, Mr. Paul B. Dehlinger, R.S., of Austin
Environmental, Inc., conducted a limited asbestos survey of the Post Oak Mall
1500 Harvey Road in College Station, Texas for the presence, location, and
the condition of suspect asbestos -containing building materials (ACBM).
The purpose of the limited inspection was to determine the presence and location
of suspect friable and non -friable asbestos -containing drywall texture in the
ceiling of the commom areas prior to fire sprinkler upgrades.
The federal National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, subpart M, and the Texas
Asbestos Health Protection Act and Rules (TAHPA) requires that prior to any
renovation or demolition of a commercial or public building that it must be
inspected for the presence of suspect asbestos -containing building materials
(ACBM).

The scope of work and services provided include:
♦ Field investigation and visual observations
♦ Define homogeneous areas and sampling strategy
♦ Limited sampling of suspect asbestos -containing building materials (ACBM)
♦ Analyses of suspect asbestos -containing building materials (ACBM)
♦ Collect information on the friability of the asbestos containing materials if present
Suspect ACBM was physically handled to determine friability and bulk samples
were obtained for analysis. The inspection involved sampling of three (3)
suspect asbestos -containing building materials and analyzing them under
Polarized Light Microscopy with Dispersion Staining (PLM/DS), EPA Method 600
/ R-93 / 116. The PLM results are attached to this report.
SURVEY
The survey was conducted on a homogenous -area basis with the construction
materials sampled and tested that are suspect to contain asbestos and that may
be disturbed during future renovation activities. Suspect asbestos -containing
building materials sampled include drywall texture only.
RESULTS
All suspect building materials sampled and tested were determined to be
None Detected for asbestos content.

Friable asbestos -containing material refers to material, which contains more that
one (>1%) percent asbestos by weight and when dry, can be crumbled,
pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non -friable asbestos -
containing material is any material containing more than one (1 %) percent
asbestos by weight and when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to
powder by hand pressure.
All materials detected/uncovered during present or future renovations or
demolitions that are not listed, as being sampled on the Chain of Custody Form
and will be disturbed, must be sampled and analyzed prior to disturbance. All
additional samples and assessments are to be conducted by properly licensed
individuals.
New building materials should be addressed to ensure that they do not contain
asbestos. Manufactures labels or material safety data sheets (MSDS) should be
reviewed and documented to ensure that any asbestos containing building
products are not used during future construction.
LIMITATIONS
This report only applies to the scope of work described herein. This report
describes existing conditions at the time of services. Conditions of asbestos -
containing materials may change as a result of damage, deterioration or other
disturbance and may increase the potential for elevated fiber levels.
This report applies only to accessible areas observed during our field services.
Asbestos -containing materials may exist in concealed inaccessible enclosures,
such as areas enclosed by permanent partitions, chases, shafts, equipment etc.

Material locations and quantities may vary. The exterior of the building and
roofing materials were not included in the scope of work.
Although a good -faith effort was made to locate asbestos -containing materials in
the area within the scope of work, extensive destructive inspection and/or testing
was not conducted due to the expense, potential exposure hazards and/or
potential regulatory violations. All surfaces, paints, wire insulation, electrical
panels, fire rated doors and panels, furnishings, Heating Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) Systems, fixtures and similar materials and equipment were
not sampled and analyzed due to safety concerns and expense. Inspection and
testing for lead -based paint, PCB containing light ballast and/or other hazardous
and/or regulated materials was not included in Austin Environmental Inc.'s
survey.
Per the TDH TAHPR this document (asbestos survey report) may not be used as
a design (specification) for asbestos abatement. Design and/or abatement air
monitoring services were not included in Austin Environmental Inc.'s scope of
work. Austin Environmental Inc. makes no warranty and assumes no liability for
the inappropriate use or misuse of this document.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this limited asbestos survey.
Should you need any further asbestos related services; please don't hesitate to
