Board tables asbestos abatement decision at Metroride facility to seek full replacement bids
Summary
The board received a single abatement bid for asbestos removal at the City of Wausau Metroride facility but tabled action to obtain bids that include replacement work and total costs.
The Board of Public Works reviewed one bid May 27 for professional asbestos abatement at the City of Wausau Metroride facility but chose to keep the submission on file and table formal approval until replacement work and total costs are bid.
Staff opened a single proposal from Mavo Systems of Wisconsin showing a total removal cost of $14,875. The packet listed line items of $2,800 for tile removal and disposal, $2.50 for baseboard removal, and $11,825 for asbestos removal and disposal, totaling $14,875. A board member noted that the quote covered removal only and not replacement or warranty work.
Board members said they preferred to solicit bids that include both removal and replacement so the city can understand total project costs and warranty implications. One board member said they would reach out to the relevant facilities contact; another suggested tabling the item. The board kept the bid on file and did not approve a contract or payment at the meeting.
No replacement bid, contract award, or schedule was recorded. The board directed staff to obtain additional pricing that includes replacement and warranty before making a funding decision.
