POLICY ISSUE(S):
Council objective; Nuisance abatement
BACKGROUND:
Around mid-October, the Community Development Department solicited Brady Environmental
to perform an asbestos survey on the One Oak Aparhnents. On November 18, 2008, the City received
the final inspection report indicating that asbestos is present in floor tile and mastic, sheetrock, tape,
bedding, and joint compounds, and spray-on ceiling textures. Because this building is structurally intact,
the hazardous materials must be removed prior to demolition.
On January 12, the Director of Community Development advised the Council that she had
received an informal estimate for removal of the environmental materials and demolition of the
buildings in amount of $280,000. The City Council's consensus upon receiving that report was to seek
formal bids. The Director consulted with environmental surveyors regarding the best approach to
demolish the property, and they have stated that, for liability purposes, the City should first abate the
asbestos then demolish the structures under two separate contracts. Brady Environmental has been hired
to prepare bid specifications for abatement of the environmental hazards, and they anticipate completion
of those specifications by February 12. Thereafter, advertisements will be placed in the local newspaper
and mailed to contractors. The goal is to have a bid recommendation for asbestos removal to the City
Council by no later than its second meeting in March.
The bid packet for demolition has been completed; however, the timeline for advertising for and
awarding bids will be contingent upon the length of time it takes to remove the asbestos.
