SUMMARY
Several buildings recently acquired by the City from the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) as part of the Route 238 Bypass Property project (Route 238) require hazardous materials testing and clean-up prior to deconstruction. EnviroNova, LLC., a hazardous materials and environmental consulting firm, provided hazardous material surveying, testing, and abatement plan reports for ten (10) properties acquired from Caltrans and one (1) additional City-owned downtown property in Phase 1 of the deconstruction project. The City continues to work with tenants who signed leases with Caltrans to find new housing and to vacate the remaining properties. Because these homes were recently vacated, staff added eight (8) more properties to the Phase 1 scope of work and expects reports for these added properties to be available during November 2018. Staff prepared construction contract documents using the available reports, issued a call for bids and now recommends Asbestos Management Group of CA, Inc., as the qualified selected contractor to perform the clean-up and deconstruction of Phase 1 parcels.
The Request for Proposals dated April 16, 2018, identified fifty-three parcels to be included for deconstruction and abatement. Staff continues to work with the consultant to prepare the Plans and Specifications for the remaining parcels. To expedite future deconstruction and abatement, staff requests Council’s authorization for the City Manager to approve Plans and Specifications, once available, and call for bids for future phases of Route 238.
