South Bend edevelopment Commission <br />Regular Mee ing - May 25, 1990 <br />5. OLD BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />f?l�•r•)�1!0aVA61:00 <br />spec ifications for the Transwestern <br />building. The proposals were reviewed by <br />Mike Meeks, Department of Engineering, <br />Car lyn Pfotenhauer, Ann Kolata and Mr. <br />Pocius. They rated the proposals on <br />which offered the most complete package <br />in addressing the structural and <br />env' onmental aspects of the project; <br />which proposal offered the greatest <br />amount of security against environmental <br />risk ; and, which proposal was the most <br />cost effective. Based on that criteria, <br />the staff recomuends that we hire Cole <br />and Associates for writing demolition <br />sDedifications for the Transwestern <br />Mrs. Kolata explained that Cole would <br />write specifications for removal of <br />asbr=stos and any other environmental <br />problems and would bid that out as a <br />contract. Then they will prepare specs <br />for the demolition and bid that. Mrs. <br />Kolata noted that Cole Associates <br />indicated that most of the asbestos <br />contractors are extremely busy at this <br />timie of year because they use the summers <br />to working in schools. We expect to <br />begin asbestos removal about mid August. <br />Mrs. Kolata noted that Cole's proposal of <br />$29,500 included $6,930 for management <br />and inspection of the building <br />denclition. Our Engineering Department <br />will be able to do that, so the proposal <br />will be revised to exclude that work. If <br />we should choose to demolish only part of <br />the building, they would need to increase <br />the proposal to include additional <br />engineering costs for that. Cole will <br />sup#vise the removal of the asbestos and <br />any jorther environmental problems. <br />Mum <br />its <br />Kolata noted that this demolition is <br />rent from other demolitions we have <br />with in the past, both because of <br />ize and because of the environmental <br />-3- <br />
