County awards asbestos‑abatement contract for courthouse renovation to low bidder
Summary
The county awarded an asbestos‑abatement contract for the courthouse renovation to the apparent low bidder after a pre‑bid tour and consultant recommendation; work is expected to start in late June with an anticipated two to two‑and‑a‑half month removal window for the contained areas.
Tony Klopp, the construction manager for the renovation, and Anthony Pop of the county’s construction management firm presented the asbestos‑abatement bid results and recommended award to the apparent low bidder.
Pop summarized the scope—removal of spray‑on fireproofing on steel beams and asbestos‑containing floor tile in the ground and first‑floor renovation footprint—and described the containment and negative‑air procedures contractors would use. He reported three bids were received, and the apparent low bidder (Yuber Environmental Services Inc., $733,880) was recommended; the construction manager and environmental consultant recommended awarding the contract and issuing a notice to proceed with an anticipated notice to proceed around June 15 and work starting near the end of the month.
Commissioners approved the award. Pop said the removal work is labor intensive but performed under full containment and negative air controls and estimated abatement would take roughly two to two‑and‑a‑half months for the listed areas.
Next steps: staff will issue the notice to proceed and coordinate staging and containment plans; abatement work will precede interior renovation activities.
