Evansville approves $115,000 due-diligence contract for proposed Bellemeade fire station
Summary
The Evansville Board of Public Works approved a $115,000 contract with Remedy Design for site due diligence — including soil and asbestos testing — at 3700 Bellemeade ahead of planning for a new fire station.
The Evansville Board of Public Works on Sept. 4 approved a $115,000 contract with Remedy Design to perform a due-diligence survey and report for the proposed new fire station at 3700 Bellemeade.
Board President opened new business by presenting the contract request from the City of Evansville Fire Department. The Fire Chief said the work will include soil and asbestos testing and other site assessments "before we proceed any further with the building at 3700 Bellemeade." The board moved, seconded and voted to approve the contract.
The contract covers pre-construction testing and reporting required to determine whether the site is suitable for construction and to identify potential environmental or subsurface issues. No further schedule, contingency or phasing details were provided during the meeting.
The action was taken during the board's regular meeting; board members indicated approval by voice vote. The transcript does not name the motion maker or seconder. Follow-up steps or a timeline for when Remedy Design will begin work were not specified.
