City says Clay School remediation specs complete; demolition bids to be issued soon
Summary
City Manager Herron reported environmental remediation specifications and asbestos identification for the Clay School are complete; staff expects to put remediation out to bid within two weeks and interview engineering firms for demolition, with a demolition recommendation to council expected at a subsequent meeting.
City Manager Herron told the Wheeling City Council on March 4 that environmental remediation specifications for the Clay School are complete and that asbestos has been identified in the building. The city received the specifications on the day of the meeting and expects to add the city's standard bid language and issue the remediation work to bid within the next two weeks.
Herron said the city is interviewing engineering firms this week to handle demolition work and hopes to have a recommendation for council at the next meeting or the meeting after that. "We are in the process of interviewing engineering firms for the demolition of the Clay School," Herron said; the city anticipates putting bid specifications and moving toward demolition procurement soon.
Why it matters: The Clay School remediation and demolition will require contractor selection, abatement work for identified asbestos, and budgeting for subsequent demolition. Council action will be needed to accept demolition recommendations and authorize contracts.
What happens next: Staff will finalize bid documents for remediation, complete engineering-firm interviews, and return to council with a demolition recommendation and related procurement requests.
