ASBESTOS ABATEMENT - OLD LIBRARY BUILDING County Administrator James Chandler made the following presentation: DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1992 TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: H. T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO JI� DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES SUBJECT: ASBESTOS ABATEMENT - OLD LIBRARY BUILDING BACKGROUND: In January of this year, the Board approved staff recommendation and funds to renovate the subject building and -relocate all offices presently located in the 2001 Building. The old library was inspected and proved to contain asbestos which is required to be removed prior to issuance of any type building permit. The sub -contractor presently abating buildings located on the new courthouse site has given us a price of $27,500.00 to remove and dispose of asbestos in the library. This contractor is already located in Vero Beach and will not require mobilization cost which will result in a cost savings on the project. We had received estimates for abatement cost ranging between $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 late last year. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends Board approval to exempt this work from the bidding process and authorize a contract with Environmental Resource Associates of Florida at a total cost of $27,500.00. It is also requested authorization be given their Chairman to execute the applicable documents. This cost is well within the estimated budget. Monies will come from funds appropriated by the Board for this project. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously exempted this work from the bid process and authorized the Chairman to execute a contract with Environmental Resource Associates of Florida to remove and dispose of asbestos in the old library building for a total cost of $27,500.00, as recommended by staff. SAID AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD 41
