The demolition portion of the project, assigned to A&A Trucking & Excavation, encompasses securing all required demolition permits, submitting the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Notice of Demolition, and demolishing three structures, including the removal of slab footers. The contractor will also oversee the removal and environmentally compliant disposal of construction debris, concrete slabs, and footers generated by the demolition activities.

The County Administrator approved staff to issue an emergency purchase order for the abatement through an email request.
Attached is a copy of the bid exemption form dated 12/16/2024 signed by the County Administrator, Mounir Bouyounes for the original emergency demolition, along with the scopes of work from A&A Trucking & Excavating and ACME Asbestos Abatement & Remediation.
