In addition, there are <br />five properties that staff is near closing on, and three that have a possibility of closing on <br />this year, for a total of 11 properties that at some point will need asbestos inspections <br />completed prior to demolition specs being written. <br />Grauvogel & Associates has completed many of the asbestos reports in this area. They <br />have provided a proposal to charge the same price per structure as they have in the past, <br />which when bid out early last year, was the low price. <br />Grauvogel's proposal is $290 per residential structure and $390 for a small commercial <br />structure. If further analysis is needed to confirm asbestos containing materials which may <br />be questionable based on test results, an additional fee of $60 per test will be charged. <br />Of these eleven properties, ten are residential and one small commercial. Based on the <br />above pricing, asbestos reports total $3,290. To fund any additional testing that may be <br />needed, staff requests a not -to- exceed amount of $5,000. <br />Staff requests approval of this Professional Services Agreement with Grauvogel & <br />Associates, to fund asbestos testing on acquired properties in the Ignition Park South <br />Expansion Area. <br />What We Do Today Makes A Difference! <br />
