TO: Redevelopment Commission
FROM: Brock Zeeb, Director of Economic Resources
SUBJECT: Renaissance District Environmental Funding
On October 25, 2012, the Commission approved an Environmental
Indemnity Agreement (EIA) for remediation of the Studebaker Building
84 site, the last remaining Studebaker manufacturing building.
When approved, the $3.3 million in funding was a best cost estimate
based on known asbestos, PCB, and lead based paint (LBP) containments
needing attention. At the time, it was contemplated that soil and ground
water sampling may be needed in the future.
Currently, LBP is being remediated and quotes have been received to
remove waste barrels discovered in the building. Staff is requesting an
additional $475,000 to fund removal of the waste barrels, award change
orders for the LBP contract, award change orders to Weavers Boos for
work exceeding original scope, and remove PCB contaminated concrete
located in a transformer pit within the building.
