approve an amendment to the contract in the amount of $11 ,730.00, authorize the City
Manager to execute said amendment and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this contract is currently available in account 177-48810-122-001-17004
(Commuter Rail Station, Land Improvements) for an estimated amount of $26,720.00.
BACKGROUND:
In preparation for the construction of the depot, hotel and parking garage on the City
owned tract at 815 S. Main Street, the existing building and support facilities have to be
demolished and hauled off site. The building was inspected by Terracon in July, 2015 with
the resulting confirmation of the presence of asbestos in the building. The asbestos had
to be removed by a firm qualified to do so.
As the development of the project plan proceeded, staff engaged Terracon to assist the
City in selecting a licensed firm for the removal of the asbestos and to perform the services
necessary to inspect the removal activities and provide onsite air monitoring and a final
report issued to TCEQ.
The initial contract authorized by City Staff anticipated 15 working days for the contractor
to complete the removal and reflected costs associated with this timeline.
Difficulties encountered by the contractor extended their timeline by an additional 14
working days. This extension resulted in an additional cost for the onsite services by
Terracon.
Staff recommends approval.
