Board approves Impact7 contract to manage asbestos abatement and air monitoring at Paloy facility
Summary
The board unanimously approved hiring Impact7 to prepare bid documents and conduct air monitoring for asbestos abatement at the Paloy building; the contract includes $4,250 for bid documents, $1,500 for closure reporting and $1,500 per monitoring day.
The Pocahontas Area Community School District approved a contract with Impact7 to prepare abatement specifications, oversee competitive bidding and perform required air-quality monitoring for asbestos abatement at the Paloy facility.
Administrators reported that additional asbestos was identified in follow-up testing and that Impact7 — which performed initial testing and earlier abatement work — would draft specifications and manage the bidding process. The contract line items discussed in the meeting were $4,250 to prepare bidding and contract documents, $1,500 for a closure report, and an additional $1,500 per day for air-quality monitoring during abatement work. The board approved the contract unanimously.
Officials said the next steps include finalizing specifications, putting the abatement work out to competitive bid and confirming timelines once bids are returned. The district is coordinating with the city and the local historical society to remove re-usable items (whiteboards, historical artifacts) and determine logistics for disposition and timing.
