Grayson Path Proposal - 260 S. Main St. Demolition (Belford Building), Paris, Texas July 11, 2022 SERVICES Based on my discussions with the City of Paris, the reports provided, and my experience with demolition projects, I understand that the scope of the project includes the following: - Task 1: Structural engineering assessment and analysis to the extent that a) the City is assured that the building can be demolished in a manner that does not damage adjacent property, and b) limited direction is provided to bidders, in the Contract Documents, so they understand the limiting structural characteristics of the building without engaging a structural engineer. Note that the Contractor who is awarded the project may need to hire a structural engineer to validate its own preferred method of demolishing the building. - Task 2: Determine water table elevation. Contract with a third -party testing company that will determine the water table elevation adjacent to the building. Note that the water table fluctuates based on future rainfall. - Task 3: Locate adjacent underground utilities. This will be performed by a third -party company contracted with JHE. - Task 4: Prepare a set of Contract Documents, which will consist of drawings and specifications, that identify the scope of the demolition project, including: o Known utility locations o Requirements for capping/terminating utilities, pipes, and cables o Allotted duration o Permissible hours of demolition o Responsibilities for traffic control during demolition o Process for pay applications o Instructions/limitations for materials disposal, including asbestos and lead-based paint o Requirements for foundation demolition o Requirements for filling the site after removing the basement structure o Prescriptive requirements for protecting adjacent property.
