1-13-12 Annie, As per your request, here is a summary of the 716 & 720 Main Demolition Process: October -mid-November 2011: ^ Established & completed the following work plan: - Pre-condition survey of 724 (Butcher Shop) - Conduct exploratory demolition of 720 -Obtain asbestos abatement survey - Develop plans & specs & scope of work - Establish work agreement -Advertise for bids Late November -mid-December 2011: ^ Advertised for bids Nov 19 ^ Mandatory walk-thru on Nov 29 ^ Bid Opening Dec 6 ^ Staff meeting w/low bidder, Veit Dec 15 Late December 2011 ^ Environmental abatement process started Dec 22 -During removal the roof started to drop and all workers left the building. Veit was called to shore up the sagging trusses with screw jacks. - After building was safe, balance of abatement was completed. ^ Regulated waste contractor completed all bulb, ballast and switchs Dec 23. Week of January 3, 2012: ^ Jan 3: All utilities to both buildings were confirmed as cut and Veit mobilized for demolition. Per Braun Engineering recommendations, manual separation of buildings at 720 and 724 took place. Roof sections were removed and trusses were individually cut and removed. The entire building at 720 down by 4:00 pm, with the exception of the. north wall facing Main Street. No damage was done to the building at 724 ,the Butcher Shop. Veit's crew did an outstanding job with a very tenuous demo situation. ^ Jan 4: Balance of building 720 and the building at 716 demolitions took place. - After removing several layers of floor the in the 720 building this morning, we sent some new colored the and mastic to the lab for evaluation. It came back with higher levels of asbestos and therefore the concrete floor must be deposited in a landfill rather than being recycled. I will work with Veit on a fair change order. In the afternoon we unearthed an unmarked fuel oil tank in the back of the 716 building. We left it in place and will address it when the floor is removed either Thursday or Friday.. ^ Jason Hanlon, the structural engineer who completed the Assessment of Demolition report will be on site to review the brick wall left in place adjacent to the butcher shop. He will give you a written recommendation for options on maintenance, and address any issues dealing with structural integrity. ^ Friday 1-6-12: Thursday morning started out by running into an unknown waterline curb stop in the back of the 720 building. City crews shut off the water further down the block and then turned it off at the newly located box. Veit put in a post next to the box for future location purposes. Backfilling was completed on the basement of the 720 building. All concrete flooring was removed and taken to the landfill due to the asbestos the found in that section of the building. 90% of the sheet metal and steel was trucked off site for recycling. 75% of building debris was trucked off site to the landfill. ^ I had a meeting with the structural engineer and Bob from your inspection department to review the stability of the brick wall adjacent to the butcher shop. The engineer will forward his findings to you in
