Resolution to Approve a Contract with TSP Services, Inc. for the Demolition of Farmhouse, Barns and Outbuildings at Wheeler Service Center, ITB-4268 ($57,940.00)
Memorandum

The demolition includes the removal of all structures located on the site, all structure foundations, all miscellaneous concrete and asphalt surfacing, with grading and restoration work consisting of topsoil, seed and mulch.
A lead and asbestos survey was conducted for all structures on the site on March 28, 2013. The survey found lead and asbestos in several of the structures. Abatement and proper, legal disposal are required for all materials on site exceeding federally mandated action levels.
