a. Bid tabulation: Abatement of asbestos-containing material from
Wilkins Pontiac building.
Commissioner Jacobs asked if the material was going to be removed
or encapsulated and left on the premises.
Mr. Grube said it would be encapsulated during the removal process.
Removal from the site is the only option available to the Authority.
Commissioner Dorfman ref erred to the bid results, noting the numbers
were very divergent - from a low of $16,000 to a high of $56,000.
She asked why this was.
Mr. Grube said all the bidders were invited to attend a pre-bid
conference at the site so they could examine the facility. The low
bidder, Hazardous Material Abatement Corp., needed the work and
was will ng to use a sharp pencil to get the work. They met all
qualifications, attended the pre-bid conference and had a second
opportunity after the bid process to make sure they had not missed
something.
It was moved by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Cammi ssi oner Dorfman,
to authorize execution of a contract with Hazardous Materials Abatement
Corp. in the amount of $16,185 for abatement of asbestos at the
Wilkins site.
The motion passed 4-0.
