� � a <br />TO: James Chandler, County Administrator <br />THRU: Jack Price, Personnel Director <br />FROM: Beth Jordan, risk Manager <br />i Pr <br />DATE: 28 July 1993 <br />SUBJECT: Indoor Air Quality Preliminary Testing Costs <br />During the past several days, we have contacted five (5) environmental firms and <br />requested cost estimates for performing indoor air quality testing by a Certified Industrial <br />Hygienist using NIOSH protocols. To date, three (3) have responded with price estimates <br />for the approximately 6,000 square foot Utir'i les' area We have requested, but as yet <br />have not received, estimates for the entire building. <br />EE & G. Deerfield Beach, currently purchasing Environpact which previously conducted <br />bulk testing, $4,950. <br />Clayton Environmental, Kennesaw, Georgia, $12,900. <br />ECT, Tampa, which tested in 1992, $8,000. <br />We have been advised by Honeywell and ESE that they will also give us an estimate. <br />Commissioner Adams felt if we decide to go with another study, <br />we should not use any of the firms that did the prior studies. <br />Administrator Chandler felt we need to go out to bid on the <br />open market, but was concerned about contracting with any of the <br />firms that did the prior studies. <br />Commissioner Tippin questioned whether another study and any <br />suggested improvements would solve the problem. He wondered if a <br />sick building wasn't the "in" thing to have. <br />Administrator Chandler stressed that there have been <br />continuing complaints from the Utilities' area. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that this last year in Florida has <br />been unusually hard on people with allergies and respiratory <br />ailments. However, she felt we would be remiss if we didn't do a <br />partial study. <br />Chairman Bird was in favor of doing at least a partial study <br />with an independent firm that hasn't done any prior studies here. <br />In addition, he was in favor of granting Director Pinto's request <br />for the installation of a separate air-conditioning unit in the <br />outside wall of his office, which would not be a real costly <br />1'7 <br />AUG m 31993 BOOK 90 F.n 125 <br />
