CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS <br />CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REQUES" <br />MEETING DATE: February 11, 2008 <br />■ Action ❑ Discussion ❑ Information ❑ Refer to: <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />Lisa A. Wright, Director of Community Development I <br />DESCRIPTION: <br />Consideration of and action on authorizing staff to seek competitive bids for the <br />demolition and disposal of debris of Casa Bonita. I <br />BACKGROUND INFORMATION: <br />HISTORY: In mid-2006, the Community Development Director commissioned an <br />asbestos survey of the westernmost collapsed building of the Casa Bonita complex in <br />hopes that the City could begin a demolition process that would eliminate at least one <br />building a year from the area. On June 20, 2006, Brady Environmental Services, Inc. <br />submitted an Asbestos Inspection Report on the building, and the report found that <br />nonfriable asbestos containing materials were located throughout the building in the <br />floor tile and mastic, sheetrock compound, and wall texture (survey attached). An <br />estimate to demolish the building was $36,800.00, which is nearly half of the <br />department's annual budget for demolitions. Because adequate funds did not remain <br />in the budget at that time of the year, and because other demolitions were already <br />scheduled, the project was placed on hold. <br />Beginning in February of 2007, the Community Development Director sought <br />estimates from two demolition companies certified to remove buildings containing <br />environmental hazards. In April, Dtech Services submitted an estimate (attached) of <br />$371,097.00 for asbestos abatement, sampling, demolition, and delivery to the local <br />landfill. This estimate did not include the landfill fee or the Texas Department of State <br />Health Services (TDSHS) fee, which could increase the actual cost to the City by <br />$200,000.00 to $250,000.00, which is again solely an estimate based on 7,800 tons of <br />debris; however, the actual tonnage of the debris generated is difficutt to estimate with <br />any accuracy. A second estimate was submitted in May 2007 by Brady <br />Environmental (attached) in the amount of $435,000.00, with additional monitoring <br />- 00014 7 <br />
