Platte County approves estimates for courthouse asbestos and lead testing and abatement
Summary
The board approved testing and abatement estimates for asbestos and lead related to the courthouse phase‑2 renovation; staff said the roofing work and mobilization drive costs and they will ask the contractor whether testing and abatement can be coordinated to reduce mobilization fees.
The Platte County Board of Commissioners voted to approve estimates for asbestos and lead testing and abatement tied to the county courthouse phase‑two renovation.
Staff presented two estimates: one for asbestos abatement related to roofing and roofing materials (the estimate was described as just north of $47,000) and a second for lead testing that includes mobilization and per‑sample charges. Commissioners asked whether contractors could coordinate mobilization to reduce duplicate trip charges; staff said they would ask the contractor whether testing and abatement could be completed in a single mobilization.
After discussion, the chair asked for a motion to approve the testing and abatement services as presented. The motion was made and seconded; commissioners voted “aye” and the motion carried.
Staff said they will follow up with the contractor (Samson) to clarify whether mobilization could be combined and to confirm the testing schedule. The approval authorizes staff to proceed with the testing and abatement as estimated and to report back with any changes tied to coordination of mobilization.
