CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: Originating Department: Presented By: Agenda Item No.: <br />7-16-12 Gene Anderson 14. <br />Council Date: Finance <br />7-23-12 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Non-action item. Report on asbestos abatement crew for the City of Paris. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Financial management <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Licensing for asbestos abatement and demolition work is required only for buildings that are subject to pub ►c <br />occupancy or to which the general public has access. Previously reported to the Council was the cost for training <br />i <br />he,wlorkes on te they <br />and licenses for abatement pel.d. There iss soe lcon ern ab utdretann cotractor $ <br />e <br />transporter license of $443 would be require <br />have been licensed. <br />Asbestos coverage is excluded from the City's general liability insurance. The additional cost for this coverage <br />has not yet been determined. Also by state law, any work performed must be supervised by a TDSHS licensed <br />consultant. The City cannot act as its own consultant. The consultant's fee typically runs about 28% of a private <br />contractor's charge for abatement and demolition. Current EPA and TDSHS rules require that an asbestos survey <br />be performed prior to demolition or renovation. This survey typically would cost around $1,000 but could be <br />more for a large structure. <br />The following is a partial list of potential public building demolitions that have or would likely have an asbestos <br />problem. Inclusion on this list should not be construed to mean that the current owners would not deal with this <br />problem. However, each of these buildings has some deterioration that will have to be addressed at some point. <br />Old Cherry Street Manor (2185-2193 Cherry Street) <br />Old Police Building (811 Bonham) <br />Poteet Building (107 Grand) <br />Old Belford Apartments (260 S.
