PEDC Board Meeting Minutes <br />October 15, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Dr. Hashmi asked how we decide on an engineer when we don't base the process on bids. Mr. Paris stated that we <br />will receive advice from the City and from Kiamichi Rail on subcontractors they have approved. Dr. Hashmi <br />asked if we would have a scope of work from several engineering firms. Mr. Paris answered that with engineering <br />firms you don't need to get bids you can pick one. Our portion of this is estimated at $40,000.00. <br />Dr. Hashmi's next question was if an environmental study had been done on the Superior Switch building. W. <br />Paris replied that a Phase I environmental survey was completed before purchasing the building. Also, the <br />underground water was checked to make sure it was clean. There is asbestos at the site so we will need to do an. <br />assessment of the asbestos. Mr. Paris stated that the Phase I survey shows there is asbestos on the property, but <br />did not tell us how much was there. Dr. Hashmi was concerned that cleaning up the asbestos could cost more than <br />the property is worth. <br />DlscussmFuture end.a Items. <br />No items were discussed. <br />Adjourn <br />Dr. Hashmi made a motion to adjourn.
