21. LEAD – LEAD IN PAINTS AND COATING IN WCSD FACILITIES PRE-1978: Paint and coating sampling has shown that
most paints and coatings contain some levels of lead in the WCSD Pre-1978 facilities. Therefore, all persons performing any
disturbance to coatings or paints in our Pre-1978 constructed facilities must utilize lead safe work practices. In addition, any
person performing any disturbance to paints or coatings must have taken an OSHA lead action level training class from a
WCSD RS&A Department approved training provider. If the facility is a kindergarten through 6th grade elementary school, the
Contractor must also comply with the Renovation, Repair and Painting Regulation Section listed below.
Lead safe work practices are identified in the EPA guidance document titled “Steps to lead safe renovation, repair and
painting”, pages 12 thru 23. This document is available electronically at http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/steps.pdf. The
Contractor shall submit lead safe work practice procedures and all OSHA action level training certificates to the project
manager. The project manager must submit a copy to the RS&A Department for approval of these documents prior to
any disturbance. The RS&A Department will notify the Contractor upon approval of these documents.
Date: 12/23/15; Rev. D
PUR-F235
Page 8 of 13
Once this approval is received, the Contractor may schedule work, but must notify the RS&A Department immediately
prior to conducting work that disturbs lead containing materials. The Contractor shall provide this notice by calling the
RS&A Department at (775) 851-5675. RS&A Department personnel, project managers, assistant project managers, and
other WCSD personnel may conduct site visits to ensure compliance with the Contractor’s submitted and approved
procedures.
22. LEAD – POST 1978 WCSD BUILDINGS: Paints and coatings on materials other than metal surfaces and ceramic wall
tile, typically do not contain significant amounts of lead in WCSD post – 1978 constructed facilities. It is ok to disturb these
materials without sampling unless the Contractor determines sampling is in their best interest. Such sampling will be paid for
by the Contractor.
Ceramic wall tile glaze typically contains high lead concentrations. Paint or coatings on metal surfaces typically contain lead in
WCSD facilities; therefore ceramic tile and paints/coatings on metal will be treated as containing lead unless sampling proves
otherwise. Contractor is responsible for paying for any sampling necessary to prove these materials do not contain lead. The
Contractor must submit sampling results to the project manager who must submit the results to the RS&A Department for
approval prior to any disturbance of the material. The Contractor has the option to assume the paint on metal surfaces and
ceramic tile glaze contains lead instead of sampling.
The Contractor must utilize lead safe work practices if lead is present or assumed to be present in materials to be disturbed.
The Contractor must ensure all persons performing any disturbance of lead containing materials must have taken an OSHA
lead action level training class from a WCSD RS&A Department approved training provider.
Lead safe work practices are identified in the EPA guidance document titled “steps to lead safe renovation, repair and
painting”, pages 12 thru 23. This document is available electronically at http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/steps.pdf. The
Contractor shall submit lead safe work practice procedures and all OSHA action level training certificates to the project
manager. Project manager must submit a copy to the RS&A Department for approval of these documents prior to any
disturbance. RS&A Department will notify the Contractor upon approval of these documents.
Once this approval is received the Contractor may schedule work but must notify the RS&A Department immediately prior
to conducting work that disturbs lead containing materials. Contractor shall provide this notice by calling the RS&A
Department at (775) 851-5675. RS&A Department personnel, project managers, assistant project managers, and other
WCSD personnel may conduct site visits to ensure compliance with the Contractor’s submitted and approved procedures.
23. RENOVATION, REPAIR & PAINTING REGULATIONS – 40 CFR PART 745.81: Effective April 22, 2010 Contractors will
be required to be trained and registered with the EPA to conduct regulation applicable renovations, repairs and painting in
all elementary schools or child occupied WCSD facilities constructed prior to 1978. In addition, Contractors must have a
minimum of one supervisor on-site that has successfully attended and passed a one day Lead Renovation, Repair and
Painting (RR&P) course before working in any elementary schools or child occupied WCSD facilities constructed prior to
1978. The supervisors training certification must remain current. Recertification requirements through the attendance of
refresher courses are a requirement of this regulation. The supervisor must be on-site throughout the project. The
certified supervisor is responsible for ensuring that lead safe work practices are utilized per this regulation as well as per
all WCSD lead requirements and policies that may be more stringent then the EPA and OSHA regulations.
Lead safe work practices are identified in the EPA guidance document titled “steps to lead safe renovation, repair and
painting”, pages 12 thru 23. This document is available electronically at http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/steps.pdf. The
Contractor shall submit lead safe work practice procedures and all RR&P, and OSHA action level training certificates to the
project manager. The project manager must submit a copy to the RS&A Department for approval of these documents
prior to any disturbance. The RS&A Department will notify the Contractor upon approval of these documents.
Once this approval is received the Contractor may schedule work but must notify the RS&A Department immediately prior
to conducting work that disturbs lead containing materials. The Contractor shall provide this notice by calling (775) 8515675. RS&A Department personnel, project managers, assistant project managers, and other WCSD personnel may
conduct site visits to ensure compliance with the Contractor’s submitted and approved procedures.
24. INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY: Preventative job site practices will reduce the potential for residual problems
with indoor air quality in completed buildings and reduce undue health risks for all workers. The following are the minimum
standards required for on-site construction in the WCSD.

a. Existing HVAC System: When feasible, the HVAC system for the project area will be shut down for the duration
of the project. If occupied spaces will be adversely affected by the shut-down of the system, construction area
return registers should be sealed with polyethylene sheeting and secured as an alternative. Registers must be
sealed prior to the start of work.
b. Separating Occupied Spaces From Non-Occupied: Keep work areas separate from occupied spaces with
polyethylene sheeting (or similar) if there are no other natural barriers in place OR in spaces where air exchange
will occur around the barriers.
c.
Ventilation: During the installation of carpet, paints, furnishings and any other VOC emitting products, provide
“spot” ventilation during application/installation and for at least 24 hours after the work is completed. In most
cases, opening windows and doors will not be enough to effectively exhaust contaminants. It is recommended
that an exhaust fan be used to pull polluted air out of the building. This can be accomplished by placing a fan
in a window or door and temporarily sealing any opening around the fan with plastic. Additionally, a door or
window at the opposite end of the room should be opened to allow fresh, outdoor air to flow across the work
area and sweep polluted air out through the exhaust fan. As long as odors are present, the temporary exhaust
ventilation must continue to operate. This may include nights and weekends as necessary. Ventilation should
continue for a minimum of 24 hours after the completion of the project or until there are no more noticeable
odors.
d. Construction Dust: Minimize the amount of dust in the air and on surfaces. Examples include the use of
vacuum assisted drywall sanding equipment and the use of vacuums instead of brooms to clean construction
dust from floors.
e. After Hours Scheduling: Schedule high dust generating operations or extreme noise generating activities for
after normal working hours. (i.e., saw cutting, jack hammering) and install temporary barriers to confine dust
as necessary.
f.
Gasoline/Diesel Powered Equipment: Electric powered equipment must be used in lieu of diesel or gasoline
powered equipment. Gas and diesel equipment may not be used inside a WCSD building or near an outdoor
fresh air building intake.
g. Safety Data Sheets (SDS): SDS must be made be maintained onsite and made available upon request as
required by federal law.
h. Construction Completion: Prior to the occupancy of the building but after the installation of new furniture,
carpet, etc., the building should be flushed with 100% outside air for one to three days.
i.
Air Filters: Replace all filtration media immediately at the conclusion of the job.
j.
Monitoring Air Quality: Indoor air quality monitoring will be conducted randomly throughout the project.
Results and any recommendations will be communicated through the building inspector to construction
management.
k.
Pre-Construction Work Area Inspection: Any overhead work including roof, the Contractor shall conduct a
pre room condition walk through with WCSD Facilities Management Representative to determine the level of
cleanliness that will be expected at completion of project. Contractor shall be responsible for cleaning all
exposed surfaces within the facility beneath the work area. At the completion of the project, the Contractor
shall clean all exposed surfaces within the facility beneath the aforementioned work area including but not
limited to all shelving, duct, lighting, flooring, furniture, etc.
25. LOCK OUT TAG OUT (LOTO) PROCEDURE: Contractor will be responsible for the isolation and termination of all
building systems that may be impacted by the scope of work within this contract. Contractor will coordinate all shutdown processes with the construction manager prior to any shut downs up to and including Lock Out Tag Out procedures
24 hours prior to any shut downs. WCSD will make the final determination of which systems and location shall be
isolated. All Lock Out Tag Out will be performed at main service panel.

RS&A Department Disturbance Permit, Water System Disturbance Permit Appendix – Page #1
Contractors, their sub-contractors or workers are responsible in completing all work without impacting the water quality of
District facilities and the domestic water supplies which feed district facilities. This Water System Disturbance Permit
identifies the minimum requirements that Contractors, their sub-contractors and all workers will utilize to perform
disturbance to the Districts water systems.
The following general requirements shall apply to any person who will be disturbing a District water system. In addition, they
must contact the Regulated Systems and Assessment Department (RS&A Dept) prior to any disturbance at 851-5675. This
phone number has an answering machine and can be accessed 24 hours a day. These disturbances will be logged in and
documented by the RS&A department.
All requirements for isolation are designed to protect the facility's potable water source from existing as well as potential
cross-connections and to prevent any backflow occurrences in the form of backpressure or backsiphonage. The Water
Disturbance Procedures listed are not site or incident specific and great care must be taken by technicians during all valving
and isolation activities within a facility to prevent a potential backflow occurrence. There may be additional requirements
that must be utilized to prevent any cross-connection or backflow occurrence, and each entity performing the disturbance is
responsible for ensuring none occur and utilizing any additional steps as necessary to ensure none result from the completion
of this project.
Any costs to correct any cross-connections and/or any backflow occurrences that result from the performance of this project
are solely the responsibility of the Contractor, their sub-contractor and workers and the signing of this RS&A Department

PAINTS AND COATINGS – Material Disturbance Permit Appendix - Lead in Paints and Coatings in WCSD Facilities
Lead containing paints and coating are present in WCSD facilities. Bidders/Contractors that disturb lead containing or
potentially lead containing paints or coatings, by law, are required to know all applicable regulations applicable and comply
with all state and federal regulations that apply to the disturbances to lead paints and coating they are conducting. The
regulations that it is recommended by the District for a contractor to be properly trained and knowledgeable, related to lead
disturbance includes, but is not limited to the following:



OSHA Regulation CFR 1926.62 – Lead & Appendix A, B, C, & D – Lead Construction Standard.
OSHA Regulation CFR 1910. 1025 - Lead & Appendix A, B, C, & D – General Industry Standard.
EPA, 40 CFR Part 745 – Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Regulation.
Bidders/Contractors accept and acknowledge by signing this Material Disturbance Permit, the existence of lead related
regulations, and accept all liability related to the disturbance of lead containing materials, citation resulting from, or any other
costs the District may incur by the action of all parties of the bidders company or companies hired by the successful bidder to
complete this project.
Construction Age of buildings at this facility
Since this permit is being issued district-wide the year of construction is not know so the contractor must comply with the
requirements for lead category #1 listed below. Included is an overview of some of the known lead regulation requirements.
While WCSD had done its best to identify, what we believe to be some of the most important requirements,
Bidders/Contractors are expected to be fully familiar with the applicable regulations. Omission of other requirements, not
listed, in no way relieves the successful bidder from his responsibility to comply with all applicable regulations.
LEAD CATEGORY #1
CATEGORY DESCRIPTION: PAINTS AND COATINGS – BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED
PRIOR TO 1978
CONTAINS LEAD?: YES/NO
THE FOLLOWING BUILDINGS AT THIS FACILITY WERE CONSTRUCTED PRIOR TO 1978:
Performing projects using this permit requires that the contractor must at all locations in the district, comply with the
following requirements unless a site specific permit is received from the RS&A department. If lead issues impact this
project then this permit is not the proper permit to use and a site specific material disturbance permit must be requested
and received prior to conducting this project unless complying with all listed lead requirements.
A large amount of paints and coatings contain some levels of lead. Due to the potential that there may be lead paints and coating in this
facility, the contractor is required to treat all paints and coating in facilities constructed prior to 1978 as lead containing unless the
suspect paints and coating has been found to be lead free. The process to determine a paint or coating is lead free must be done by
laboratory analysis of a bulk sample, performed by a District approved lead professional. Wipe samples or XRF sampling alone, without
the bulk samples to confirm a paint or coating does not contain lead, will not be allowed so as to be in compliance with OSHA lead
regulations. Sampling costs are to be paid for by the successful Bidder/Contractor unless available sampling data is listed below. No
additional District paid sampling will be conducted.

Lead Containing or Assumed Lead Containing Paints and Coatings Disturbance Instructions:
OSHA Requirements
All persons performing any disturbance to coatings or paints to paints and coating in and on the buildings listed above must have taken
an OSHA lead action level training class from a WCSD, RS&A department approved training provider, and utilize lead safe work
practices. In addition, all work must be completed, as a minimum, utilizing the lead safe work practices identified in the EPA guidance
document titled “steps to lead safe renovation, repair and painting”, pages 12 thru 23. This document is available electronically at the
following link: HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/LEAD/PUBS/STEPS.PDF.
EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Regulation Requirements
In general, all firms that disturb 6 square feet of painted surface in a room or 20 square feet on the exterior within a 30 day period in this
facility must comply with the EPA’s Renovation, Remodel and Repair (RR&P) regulation and must be registered with the federal EPA.
Per the Regulation, the area of disturbance is calculated, by adding up the entire surface areas being removed/disturbed, which then
determines the amount of painted surface area disturbed. Work that involves window replacement or demolition of a painted surface,
the RR&P regulation applies regardless of size. This regulation also requires that the contractor must assign a RR&P trained supervisor
that is responsible for ensuring and documenting all work is conducted in compliance with the RR&P regulation and there are extensive
record keeping and notification requirements that the Contractor must perform. In addition, This is a general overview of the regulation
and the contractor must refer to regulation for additional requirements and information. Fines are expensive and the compliance with
this regulation rests solely on the Contractor so it is very important that Bidders/Contractors are well versed in this regulation.
WCSD Requirements
In addition to regulatory requirements, the WCSD has requirements that must be met by the Contractor/Bidder. The contractor is
responsible for submitting to the RS&A department lead disturbance procedures that outline the lead safe work practices to be
utilized and that procedure must comply with the Districts minimum lead disturbance requirements. The current minimum lead
disturbance requirements, which will apply to this project, follow these tables.
OSHA action level training and RR&P training certification and RR&P firm certification must be submitted to the project manager
and they are to submit a copy to the RS&A department. The RS&A department must review, verify, and approve all required
documentation prior to the contractor being able to perform any disturbance, so time for review must be taken into account when
developing schedules. Once the RS&A department has approved the procedures and training and firm certification, the contractor
may proceed but they must notify the RS&A department at 851-5675 of any paint/coating disturbance immediately disturbance prior to
the disturbance. RS&A department personnel, project managers and assistant project managers and other district personnel will
spot check in the field, to ensure compliance with the contractors submitted and approved procedures.
Lead Samples Available:
Refer to section listed below regarding lead sampling that may be available.
Lead Samples Available:
The school district has a limited number of lead surveys that have been done of our facilities. A site specific permit will take the site
specific age of construction and sampling to clarify lead issues but cannot be addressed on this District wide permit. If lead issues impact
this project then this permit is not the proper permit to use and a site specific material disturbance permit must be requested
and received prior to conducting this project unless complying with all listed lead requirements.

Replacement Paints and Coating
The Contractor shall not reinstall any lead containing paints/coatings in any detectable levels during the process of completing this
project. “lead containing” is defined as any paint or coating that has ANY detectable lead level when paint chip sampling is
conducted and chip is analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy EPA 3050B digestion / EPA 7420 Analysis methods. The District
may perform sampling of replacement materials and if analysis finds any detectable levels of lead, the Contractor will be liable for all
costs to properly remove that material and re-apply paints and coatings with no detectable levels of lead. Contractors are encouraged
to pre-sample paints they may be using to determine the actual amount in paint/coatings used.

Minimum Requirements to Perform an Asbestos/Lead Paint or Assumed Asbestos/Lead Paint Disturbance in the Washoe
County School District – No Exceptions
Below are the minimum requirements required to perform any disturbance to asbestos/lead-containing or assumed asbestos/leadcontaining paint or coating within the WCSD. Additional steps beyond the minimum requirements may be necessary to comply with
all applicable regulations. Each contractor is required to develop a procedure that complies with all applicable regulations as well as
developing a procedure that includes all items listed below. To simplify the procedure development process, electronic copies of these
requirements are available upon request by calling 851-5675. Contractors may utilize the electronic template provided to make
company specific modifications and print it out on their company letterhead, sign, and date the procedure.
1.
Contractors must have a copy of their approved asbestos/lead paint or assumed asbestos/lead paint disturbance procedure and
a copy of the material disturbance permit on site at all times. The Contractor must submit their procedures for review to the
Regulated Systems and Assessment Department (RS&A) and the RS&A department must approve all asbestos/lead paint or
assumed asbestos/lead paint disturbance procedures prior to performing any disturbance. A procedure will be submitted for
asbestos materials and a separate procedure will be submitted for lead. Procedures must be approved by the RS&A
department prior to starting any disturbance. A minimum of one work day will required by the RS&A department for the
review and approval process.
2.
A site-specific asbestos/lead paint or assumed asbestos/lead paint disturbance procedure may be submitted to the RS&A
Department or a blanket procedure may be submitted. A blanket procedure will apply at all future sites where a contractor
will be performing disturbances and a site specific procedure will apply to just one site or project. Each procedure will
identify clearly if it is a blanket or site-specific procedure. If a site specific procedure is submitted, that procedure will expire
at the end of the identified project and a new procedure must be submitted for any future project. Procedures will be filed
and maintained at the RS&A Department. Contractors are also required to provide a copy of their procedures to their
assigned WCSD Construction Department Project managers and assistant Project managers. Contractors must ensure that
their procedure has been approved, and is on file prior to any disturbance.
3.
Technicians performing disturbances will be required to have a minimum of AHERA 16 Hour O&M training and OSHA
action level training per 29 CFR 1926.62 (i) (2) lead training. In addition, as applicable, contractors must comply with the
EPA RR&P training and certifications requirements listed in the RR&P section of this appendix. Copies of training
certifications, including a refresher within the last 12 months, will be provided to the RS&A Department prior to the start of
any project. Only personnel with the proper minimum training will be authorized to perform any disturbance to asbestos/lead
paint or assumed asbestos/lead paint containing materials, or be in the adjacent area of a disturbance.
4.
Notify the RS&A Department at 851-5675 with the time, name of the technician doing the work, date and exact locations in
the school where they will be performing any disturbance. This call should take place immediately prior to disturbance and
this phone number (851-5675) has an answering machine and contractors will provide notifications with above identified
information, 24 hours a day. The Contractor is also required to notify their assigned WCSD Construction Department Project
Managers and Assistant Project Managers of scheduled disturbances so they can also verify compliance with the contractors
approved disturbance procedures.
5.
Contractors must refer to the Material disturbance permit to determine what materials contain asbestos or lead and utilize the
applicable lead/asbestos procedures. Some materials cannot be disturbed and each specific material disturbance permit will
identify what can be disturbed and provided material disturbance instructions. The minimum disturbance permits in this
section of the material permit are in addition to requirements listed in the material disturbance instructions. Any instance
where 100% of the minimum asbestos/lead requirements are not followed the contractor will immediately hire an
environmental remediation contractor as well as an environmental consultant to properly clean up the contamination and
perform air sampling. The contractor will be responsible for reimbursing the District for all costs due to any improper or
unauthorized disturbances.
6.
Contractors or technicians who are new to performing asbestos/lead paint or assumed asbestos/lead paint disturbances for the
District must contact the RS&A Department and schedule a disturbance. A RS&A employee will be scheduled to review the
technician’s compliance with disturbance procedures in the field. Once a technician has demonstrated to the RS&A
Department that he has an understanding of the District disturbance requirements and proper equipment, the RS&A
Department will then authorize that technician to perform disturbances without prior approval of the RS&A Department.
Notifications prior to starting all disturbances as listed above will still be required and technicians should expect
unannounced random compliance inspections.

conducted the HEPA Vacuum. If a contractor fails to properly control the asbestos/lead containing dust, the District will then
hire an environmental remediation contractor as well as an environmental consultant to properly clean up the contamination.
The contractor will be responsible for reimbursing the District for all costs due to improper disturbances that result in debris
exiting the area of disturbance.
