GSA Buildings
PBS has provided hazardous materials management services to GSA for over nine years. PBS has responded to a variety of issues including federal tenant concerns, water-damaged buildings, and unforeseen issues related to construction activities. PBS is typically provided very short notice to respond, and many projects require after-hours presence in occupied buildings. PBS has successfully coordinated with GSA property managers, engineering staff, and tenants, as well as with the GSA Region 10 Coordinator.
Mold projects have included many sensitive federal building areas including daycare and medical facilities. PBS has provided mold remediation work plans and bid documents for remediation contractors. PBS oversees the remediation projects and provides clearance testing prior to re-occupancy. PBS is often requested to educate affected parties and reduce safety concerns.
Additionally, since May of 1993, PBS has performed design and building investigations under an indefinite delivery contract for GSA buildings throughout Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. We are typically charged with the tasks of asbestos survey and design, underground storage tank decommissioning, hazardous materials auditing, lead inspections, radon testing, and water quality analysis. Our support services are centered around projects such as developing roster specifications for asbestos, lead, underground storage tank (UST) decommissioning, renovation planning, historical building preservation plans, building engineering reports, and prospective development studies.
Asbestos and lead assessment projects completed to date include historical buildings such as the Jackson Federal Building (Seattle, WA), Richland Federal Building (Richland, WA), Wenatchee Federal Building (Wenatchee, WA), Gus Solomon Courthouse (Portland), Pioneer Courthouse (Portland, OR), U.S. Customs House (Portland, OR), U.S. Courthouse (Medford, OR), Edith Green/Wendell Wyatt Building (Portland, OR), and the Eugene Federal Building (Eugene, OR). Our involvement includes developing prospectus development studies (PDS), historical building preservation plans (HBPP), building and engineering reports (BER), and contract documents.
