Summary

After reviewing inspection reports that identified floor tile and window glazing containing asbestos, council approved awarding an abatement contract to Echo Midwest as presented in the meeting packet.

Council reviewed asbestos inspection findings for two city-owned buildings and discussed abatement logistics and notifications to the state. Staff reported that abatement specialists were contacted and that abatement quotes were received; the council then approved the low/selected bid and directed staff to proceed with required notifications and scheduling.

A staff speaker described the work plan for removing floor tile in one brick building and identifying areas for demo work, and noted the 10-day notification period to the state prior to abatement work. Council approved the award by roll call and asked staff to provide the abatement schedule and required documentation to council members.
