                              Old Harbormaster’s Building – Hazardous Material Survey

The City Council authorized in the 2015 budget an expenditure of $20,000 to remove the old harbormaster’s building.

Before we can prepare demolition plan bid documents, we need to determine what (if any) hazardous materials may be present in the building (i.e. – asbestos, lead based paint, PCBs, etc.). Public Works has solicited quotes from three firms. Two firms responded:

                              Stantec                                            Anchorage        $5,000

                              White Environmental                Anchorage        No quote received

                              Santori Group Inc.                      Anchorage        $3,400

               Public Works has experience with each of these firms and all have provided satisfactory work.

Recommendation: The City Council Award the Old Harbormaster’s Building hazardous material survey to Santori Group Inc. of Anchorage, Alaska, in the amount of $3,400 and authorize the City Manager to execute all appropriate documents.
