Resident concern prompts county to seek asbestos testing before building move
Summary
A staff member relayed a public concern that an asbestos test be completed before a building move; the board authorized staff to pursue contractor quotes, including one from Northern Industrial, and to proceed with procurement steps.
During public comment the staff member relayed that 'Hannah' requested an asbestos inspection before a building is moved. The staff member said the mover expects a semi to perform the move and that the mover did not want testing performed the day before closing and moving items out. "He doesn't want to do an asbestos test the day before closing and then have all this stuff moved out of there," the staff member said.
The staff member told the board that Northern Industrial (cited as a firm Bowen uses for county projects) had provided a quote and asked whether the board wanted that company to be used or whether staff should seek other companies. The Chair indicated agreement to proceed with the procurement process and authorized staff to have the contractor go forward to obtain testing as appropriate. The record does not include dollar amounts, a testing schedule, or the name of the building involved.
