Contractor to begin asbestos abatement; committee adds Coppertop to demo scope
Summary
Robinson Brothers received notice to proceed; asbestos removal and hazardous-waste work will start next week, and the committee voted to add the Coppertop building to the demolition list so the contractor can include it under the current schedule and meet the Nov. 1 deadline.
County staff told the committee on June 1 that contracts with Robinson Brothers were finalized and a notice to proceed was issued for the campus demolition project. Abatement work will begin next week, starting in the library building and moving to the student building.
Staff said an interested buyer for the Coppertop building has withdrawn; without a buyer, the committee debated whether to demolish the vacant structure now or leave it. A committee member moved to add the Coppertop to the demolition list and the motion carried. Staff will notify Robinson Brothers and prepare an addendum or amendment to include the Coppertop in the contractor’s scope if necessary to meet a November 1 site-completion milestone.
Why it matters: the contractor’s schedule and the county’s demolition budget will determine whether the Coppertop can be removed as part of the current contract or must be handled separately. Staff stressed the need for timely direction so the contractor knows whether to include the building when mobilizing for asbestos abatement and fencing.
Next steps: staff will prepare a contract amendment and confirm demolition timelines and fencing plans for public safety and site security.
