President Recorded and transcribed by: Connie Beckman 77meSaver Off Site Secretarial 02/12/96 -3- MEMORANDUM Date: February 22, 1996 To: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager From: Tom Bublitz Community Development Specialist ' P P � Subject: Resolution Approving Change Order, Accepting Quotations, and Authorizing Contract for Additional Asbestos Abatement Work at the EDA -Owned Property Located at 6550 West River Road (Premier Mechanical Building) At the January 26, 1996, Economic Development Authority meeting, the Brooklyn Center EDA awarded a contract for asbestos abatement at the EDA -owned property located at 6550 West River Road (Premier Mechanical building) to Ren Tec Services, Inc., in the amount of $13,850. The contractor began the abatement on February 15 and on Tuesday, February 20, staff was informed of the following three issues relative to the abatement project: 1. Following standard procedure for asbestos abatement in ceilings, the contractor made a hole in the ceiling to wet the asbestos - containing material prior to removal. Between the ceiling and roof of the building there was a ten inch space which contained fiberglass insulation. According to the asbestos abatement regulations, the fiberglass insulation had to be removed and disposed of as asbestos - containing material. It should be noted the contractor followed proper procedure for abating the asbestos ceiling material, and under the regulations there was no feasible way the fiberglass insulation could have been removed separately from the asbestos ceiling material. According to abatement regulations, the fiberglass insulation had to be removed and bagged as asbestos - containing material. The cost for removal and disposal of the additional fiberglass material is $1,575. Environmental Process, Inc. (EPI), the EDA's on -site project manager, reviewed the contractor's time sheets for this work and it appears to be a reasonable amount, according to EPI. It should also be noted that the fiberglass insulation was not discovered during the initial asbestos survey conducted on the building since regulations do not permit any disturbance of material (i.e., the ceiling) once asbestos has been detected. 2. When the asbestos - containing ceiling material was removed, the contractor discovered additional asbestos- containing material in the building soffit. The material is transite, a hard rock -like form of asbestos - containing material. Apparently, the transite was used in the construction of the original service station building and was covered over by the building facade in subsequent remodelings of the building. Memorandum to Michael J. McCauley February 22, 1996 Page 2 The transite material can become friable during demolition and, as a result, must be abated. Staff contacted a demolition contractor who has performed several demolitions for the EDA and the contractor indicated they would not demolish a building with transite material in it unless it was abated. Ren Tec Services, Inc., the contractor performing the abatement on the building, has submitted a proposal to abate the additional transite material for a dollar amount of $2,525. EPI has obtained two additional quotes to abate the transite material, one from National Surface Cleaning, Inc., in the amount of $1,250 and one from Mavo Systems, Inc., in the amount of $2,200. Staff is recommending a contract be executed with National Surface Cleaning, Inc., in the amount of $1,250 for the abatement of the transite material. 3. Additional PCB light ballasts have been uncovered during the course of the abatement. It is estimated that approximately 20 PCB ballasts have been uncovered at a cost of $20 per ballast for removal and disposal. The $20 cost per ballast is the agreed -upon price as per the contract with Ren Tec Services, Inc. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDAnoNs A summary of the additional costs for the abatement at the Premier Mechanical building is as follows: $13,850 Original contract price from Ren Tec Services, Inc. 1,575 Cost to remove fiberglass insulation 1,250 Quote from National Surface Cleaning, Inc., to abate transite material 400 Cost to remove and dispose of PCB light ballasts $17,075 Total project cost Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution. Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO.
