    The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is preparing to transfer three buildings to the Gila River Indian Community and requires comprehensive environmental assessments to ensure safety and compliance. The project entails three primary evaluations: a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), a Comprehensive Asbestos Survey, and a Lead Based Paint Inspection for the properties located in Sacaton, Arizona. The Phase I ESA will adhere to ASTM E1527-21 standards, while the asbestos survey must comply with ASTM E2356-14, involving sampling and analysis by accredited laboratories. Specific parameters detail the quantity of asbestos-containing material samples to be collected from each building, estimated to be 15 for Building 98, 3 for Building 51, and 10 for Building T5.

Deliverables include a draft of the reports within 60 days post-approval and a final report within 90 days of proceeding, detailing inspection procedures, results, conclusions, and necessary recommendations.
