The 16 apartment units were constructed as a single structure. The Work comprises the demolition of all structures, garages, sheds, other ancillary property structures, private sidewalks (public sidewalks to remain), cap water and sewer laterals at curb line (work with public works), one water and sewer lateral in the middle shall be brought up to 3’ grade and capped, rubbish, asbestos abatement as needed, property restoration and all appurtenances for a complete job in accordance with the Contract Documents.

All Structures have been declared unsafe to enter to complete the asbestos testing. The Engineer’s Certified Asbestos Inspector will be onsite during the demolition process. The building materials must be kept adequately wet at all times, starting with the demolition process, through site cleanup, transport and final disposal. “Adequately wet” means sufficiently wet to prevent the release of particulates and there are no visible emissions observed from any asbestos-containing material. If visible emissions are observed, the demolition must cease, and additional wetting must be performed until no emissions are occurring. However, the absence of visible emissions is not sufficient evidence of being adequately wet.

For a complete discussion of the structurally unsound and in danger of imminent collapse provisions under the Asbestos NESHAP, please refer to 40 C.F.R. §§ 61.141 and 61.145(a)(3), 61.145(c)(4) -(9).

Government Bonds (at par value) or approved Bid Bond in the amount of 10 percent of the total Bid Price, payable to the Borough of Renovo, as a guarantee that the Bidder, if its Bid is accepted, shall promptly obtain the required Bonds and Insurance and shall prepare the required submittal documents and execute the Agreement.
