• Specification Development and Bid Document Production

AQS project designers are experts in the science of specification development. They will work with you every step of the way to produce a clear, concise document outlining the work an abatement contractor needs to complete in order to get your job done.

An inaccurate or incomplete bid document can easily lead to delays, or worse, costly change orders. Rest assured, you can be confident that a bid document produced by an AQS professional is as complete and accurate as possible.

• Contractor Selection and Pre-Qualification

The experts at AQS have more than 24 years combined experience working with local and national contractors. We know who can get the job done, and who should not be trusted to get abatement work done on time, under budget, and with minimal disruption to your business. Let us select the right, qualified contractor for your abatement job, based on the widely varied proposals you are likely to receive, based on the bidding process.

• Contract Administration

Someone has to organize the subcontractors and make sure everyone gets paid on time. Occasionally inconsistencies can creep into even the best supervised job documents. With AQS administering your dealings with contractors, the responsibility falls to us to make sure time and materials applied to a job invoice are those actually used on the job.

• Contractor Oversight and Monitoring

Independent monitoring of contractors by an AQS Technician can mean the difference between a successful, on time, under budget construction project and an environmental nightmare. An AQS technician is the eyes and ears of the building owner, continuously observing progress and ensuring regulatory compliance.

• On-Site Analytical Services for Rapid Turnaround

Regardless of the precautions taken by contractors to establish safe work practices and separate a contaminated work area from occupied areas of a building, accidents happen. Ambient air sampling by a licensed technician provides a picture of airborne contaminant concentrations inside and outside the work area. This picture allows us to prevent problems before they become problems, and establishes a written record to alleviate employee fears and concerns.

• Final Clearance Inspections and Testing

Before a work area can be returned to a building owner or operator it has to pass a visual inspection by an independent entity and have proof that interior airborne contaminant concentrations are below state mandated clearance standards. AQS Inspectors are zealous in their pursuit of anything which might cause a containment area to fail, knowing that failure means potentially costly delays.
