The ENGINEER will develop plans and specification documents for the clearing of right of way
limits (Exhibit A), asbestos abatement and demolition of the five residential properties located

format will be used for the specifications documents. The OWNER and ENGINEER agree that
the documents will be written so that the base bid cost for the demolition of above and below
ground structures will be bid as a lump sum item.
1. Specifications — The ENGINEER will prepare specification documents for the clearing of
right of way and demolition of the five residential buildings that are located within the
project limits. The specification documents will include the AIA general conditions
along with the appropriate supplementary conditions. The specification documents will
include the specification sections related to notice to bidders, instructions to bidders, and
items specific and unique to each project location.

Environmental Management (IDEM) accredited Asbestos Building Inspector to perform
an asbestos inspection of each of the residential structures to be demolished. The
asbestos inspection will be performed in accordance with the requirements set forth by
the federal National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 61, Subpart M,
(40 CFR 61, Subpart M). The purpose of the asbestos inspection will be to document the
location, quantity, and condition of all asbestos containing materials located within the
structures so that the regulated asbestos containing materials can be removed prior to the
start of the demolition activities.
6. Asbestos Abatement — The ENGINEER shall utilize an IDEM accredited Asbestos
Project Designer to prepare asbestos abatement specifications for the removal of all
