Common use of Indoor Air Quality Clause in Contracts

Indoor Air Quality. A. The Lessor shall control airborne contaminants at the source and/or operate the Space in such a manner that the USACE indicator levels, as identified in this Paragraph A, for asbestos, mold, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and formaldehyde are not exceeded. The indicator levels for office areas shall be: Asbestos 70 s/mm2; mold (see Section 5.08, Mold); CO 9 ppm; CO2 700 ppm above outdoor air; and formaldehyde 0.016 ppm. Lessor shall make a reasonable attempt to apply insecticides, paints, glues, adhesives, and HVAC system cleaning compounds with highly volatile or irritating organic compounds, outside of working hours. B. The Lessor shall avoid the use of products containing toxic, hazardous, carcinogenic, flammable, or corrosive ingredients as determined from the product labor or manufacturer’s safety data sheet. The Lessor shall use available odor-free or low odor products when applying paints, glues, lubricants, and similar wet products. When such equivalent products are not available, Lessor shall use the alternate products outside normal working hours. Except in an emergency, the Lessor shall provide at least seventy-two (72) hours advance notice to the Government before applying chemicals or products with noticeable odors in occupied Spaces and shall adequately ventilate those Spaces during and after application. C. The Lessor shall serve as first responder to any occupant complaints about indoor air quality (IAQ). The Lessor shall promptly investigate such complaints and implement the necessary controls to address each complaint. Investigations shall include testing as needed, to ascertain the source and severity of the complaint. D. The Government reserves the right to conduct independent IAQ assessments and detailed studies in Space that it occupies, as well as in areas serving the Space (e.g., common use areas, mechanical rooms, HVAC systems, etc.). The Lessor shall assist the Government in its assessments and detailed studies by: 1. Making available information on Building operations and Lessor activities; 2. Providing access to Space for assessment and testing, if required; and 3. Implementing corrective measures required by the RECO. The Lessor shall take corrective action to correct any tests or measurements that do not meet the USACE indicator levels identified in paragraph A of this Section 5.06. E. The Lessor shall provide to the Government safety data sheets (SDS) upon request for the following products prior to their use during the term of the Lease: adhesives, caulking, sealants, insulating materials, fireproofing or firestopping materials, paints, carpets, floor and wall patching or leveling materials, lubricants, clear finish for wood surfaces, janitorial cleaning products, pesticides, rodenticides, and herbicides. The Government reserves the right to review such products used by the Lessor within the Space, common building areas, ventiliation systems and zones serving the Space, and the area above suspended celiling and engineering space in the same ventilation zone as the Space. F. Where hazardous gasses or chemicals (any products with data in the Health and Safety section of the SDS sheets) may be present or used, including large-scale copying and printing rooms, segregate areas with deck-to-deck partitions with separate outside exhausting at a rate of at least 0.5 cubic feet per minute per square foot, no air recirculation. The mechanical system must operate at a negative pressure compared with the surrounding spaces of at least an average of 5 Pa (pascal) (0.02 inches of water gauge) and with a minimum of 1 Pa (0.004 inches of water gauge) when the doors to the rooms are closed.
