<br /> 85-95 '~qtter from the City Manager recommending adoption of an ordinance to appropriat~
<br />$36,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for engineering services for the analysis of build-
<br />ing materials~in the Civic Center complex for asbestos content and award of contract to
<br />responsible low bidder.
<br />
<br /> "As y~B.are aware, all across the country municipalities arecconcerned about the poten-
<br />tial health r~isks associated with asbestos content in the building structures, especially
<br />those constructed prior to 1968.
<br />
<br /> Portsmouth, not unlike other communities, has inspected many of those buildings. A
<br /> report has been prepared for the School Board and efforts are underway to encapsulate and/or
<br /> remove asbestos from school buildings. ~n my continuing effort to make sure that our citizen
<br /> and employees visit and work in safe environments, bid proposals were solicited from seven
<br /> companies for the investigation of asbestos at the Civic Center complex~ Proposals were
<br /> received from the following four companies:
<br />
<br />Norshipco
<br />Taylor Development
<br />Marine Inspections
<br />Inter-Science Research
<br />
<br /> After careful and deliberate analysis, the evaluation committee, consisting or'the
<br />Director of Planning, Engineeriny~ and Inspections, the Director of Public Mealth, the
<br />P~rchasing Agent, and the Director of General Services, has recommended that contract award
<br />in the amount ~ $36,000 be given to Norshipco of Norfolk. This award is based on previous
<br />performance and experience in asbestos investigation and removal.
<br />
<br /> I concur.~iith this recommendation and recmmmend the award of the contract and appropri-
<br />aaion of the necessary funds."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mrs. Webb and seconded by Mr. Whitlow, the following ordinance was approved
<br />on first reading; award of contract to Norshipco of Norfolk, as recommended, and was adopted
<br />by unanimous vote:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $36,000 FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR
<br /> ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF BUILDING MATRRIALS IN THE CIVIC
<br /> CENTER COMPLEX FOR ASBESTOS CONTENT."
