City warns of hazardous materials at two demolition sites ahead of scheduled work
Summary
Municipal staff reported two upcoming demolitions—Big Timber and 4626 Tomsky Street—where contractors identified hidden hazardous materials that require abatement before demolition; staff said removal will affect schedules and costs.
Bob Dole told the committee that contractors working on two scheduled demolitions—Big Timber and 4626 Tomsky Street—identified hidden hazardous materials that require removal prior to demolition next week. "If you go there now, you're going to see some trucks and activity there," he said, and added contractors flagged the hazardous materials as an unanticipated problem in the original bid packages.
Dole said these two demolitions are notable because over the last five years the city has averaged about 20 demolitions and these are the first two with substantial hidden hazardous materials that required contractors to notify staff and adjust schedules and costs. Members did not vote on funding; staff signaled procurement actions and contractor coordination would be required and that they would update the committee on schedule and abatement costs.
