City staff told the Dayton City Commission on Jan. 15 that calendar item 3 is a consultant services agreement with Turnkey Environmental Consultants for $100,000 to continue residential asbestos surveying and post-abatement verification for the city’s demolition pipeline.

Why it matters: The asbestos surveys and post-abatement verification are part of the environmental safety and compliance work required before demolition of structures that the city has identified for removal. City staff said the work supports demolition of nearly 1,100 structures that are in the pipeline.
