Title
Approval to amend the contract for Asbestos Abatement - 153 Livingston Rd
Body
SUMMARY: The City requested proposals for the asbestos abatement of the Transite roof panels in the old McGinniss Tile building. The plan was to have an asbestos abatement contractor to demo and haul off the asbestos associated debris from the roof to an approved landfill. We also planned on separating the concrete block materials from the walls, and using City employees to load and haul off this material for fill at the airport. The City Council awarded the only RFP received to Team Environmental Group LLC at the July Council meeting for $37,000.00.
The contractor notified the state inspector with their Asbestos NESHAP program regarding project. At that time, the state inspector informed us that we could not separate the materials since they would be demoed at the same time. All materials would have to be loaded and hauled off by an asbestos abatement contractor to an approved landfill.
The following is a statement from the state inspector concerning separating the materials:
“There are no provisions in the Asbestos NESHAP Rule (40 CFR Part 61 Subpart M - National Emission Standard for Asbestos) that permits the segregation of the demolition debris or ‘cleaning’ of the debris.”
After we received this information, we requested an updated proposal from the contractor for demoing the roof and wall materials, loading the materials into dumpsters, and hauling off to an approved landfill. Team Environmental Group LLC submitted an updated proposal in the amount of $105,300.00. The increase is due to the additional debris from the walls, additional time in loading this debris, the availability of dumpsters, the turnaround time in hauling and returning the dumpsters to the site, additional equipment, etc.
The Engineering Department recommends to accept the revised proposal from Team Environmental Group LLC since they were the only contractor to submit a proposal for this project.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the revised proposal from Team Environmental Group LLC at a total cost of $105,300.00.
