Mission Statement: To lead government, commercial, and residential clients to cost-effective environmental solutions. 1.1 OUR COMPANY HISTORY New Horizons was born when two colleagues were discussing the advantages and disadvantages of environmental firms. This conversation led to the concept of an environmental company that was cost- effective for clients but also provided high quality work by experienced professionals. The final founding concept behind New Horizons was to join our clients, employees, and families in taking responsibility for the protection and future of the Earth. Beginning with that principle, New Horizons started operating in 2007 with two employees and the idea that good business should be built on good relationships, both with clients and with employees. In 2008 and again in 2010, New Horizons was named one of the Smart Companies to Watch by Thinking Bigger Business Media Inc. In 2009, New Horizons opened a branch office in Lincoln, Nebraska, which now has a permanent staff of 10 employees. In 2011, New Horizons was honored as one of the Top 25 Businesses Under 25 Employees by Thinking Bigger Business Media Inc., and Small Business of the Year by the Kansas City, Kansas Chamber of Commerce. In 2012, New Horizons was ranked in 2"d Place in the Kansas City Area's 100 Fastest Growing Companies, by Ingram's Magazine and listed in Diversity Magazine as one of the Top 500 Woman Owned Companies in the United States. In 2013, New Horizons was listed in the Top 2,500 Fastest Growing Companies by Inc. Magazine.

NEW HORIZONS!,,.c 2.0 PROJECT APPROACH The following sections outline a specific Project Approach for the Pre -Demolition Asbestos Inspections and monitoring of asbestos abatement activities at the following residences: 2127 East 4th Street (Rectory Only) 419 Lane Street 800 West 2nd Street 614 West 7th Street 536 Dawson Street 623 West 2nd Street 411 East 8th Street 328 West 14th Street 1211 Sycamore Street 1420 Commercial Street 1422 Commercial Street 1426 Commercial Street 1430 Commercial Street 421 Logan Avenue 154 Harrison Street 2.1 PRE -DEMOLITION ASBESTOS SURVEY The objective of the asbestos survey is to determine the presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in the interior and exterior of the residences prior to demolition. The asbestos survey will be conducted by an Iowa Licensed Asbestos Inspector (See Attachment B) following National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) protocols. The survey includes sampling suspect ACM throughout the residences. Suspect ACM includes nearly all building materials except glass, metal, concrete, brick, fiberglass, rubber, and foam. Samples will be submitted to Quantem Laboratories in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis. Samples will be submitted on a 5 -day turnaround. Upon receipt of analytical results, New Horizons will compile a survey report of findings. New Horizons will prepare a report for each building including the following: • Structure description • Sampling analysis and summary • Table summarizing ACM identified within the structure • A map indicating ACM locations throughout the structure • Photolog of ACM • Sample location worksheet • Chain of custody • Polarized light microscopy report • Property photograph • Copy of inspector certification 3 NEW HORIZONS,..c 2.1 ABATEMENT SPECIFICATION If asbestos is identified in the structure during the pre -demolition survey, New Horizons will prepare an abatement scope of work for the structure. A properly designed abatement project ensures that the asbestos -containing materials are removed in compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations. The scope of work will be based on information from inspection reports, the scope of work for the project, and applicable state and federal regulations New Horizons will include information from Iowa's Asbestos Code and Administrative Rules Chapter 155 and Chapter 88B, NESHAP Regulations, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Specifications will include all of the required information and any information pertinent to the abatement work to be completed. If the pre -demolition inspection of a property finds that no ACM is present, New Horizons will not prepare abatement specifications for that property. 2.2 ABATEMENT MONITORING New Horizons will provide monitoring for any abatement required, if asbestos is identified in the inspection of the properties. The monitoring will include a visit to the structure following abatement activities to ensure the ACM identified during the pre -demolition surveys has been removed. New Horizons will mobilize to the site following the completion of abatement activities, to visually verify all of the identified ACM has been removed. New Horizons has included one trip to each site within this proposal. If ACM has not fully been removed from the structure, and the abatement company has to return to remove remaining ACMs, New Horizons will not complete a second visual verification. New Horizons will prepare a visual clearance letter for each property with ACMs. This monitoring does not include any required air monitoring for the project. New Horizons will coordinate all monitoring services with the abatement staff and City staff. 4 ter.
