SUBJECT: Asbestos Survey and Monitoring of Abatement Contract Award for
FEMA Buy -Out Program
DATE: March 13, 2013
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum transmits the bids received for Asbestos Survey and Monitoring of
Abatement for the flood- damaged properties at 1711 Old Mill Road and 1654 Manson
Road (garage) for City Council award of the contract under the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's (FEMA) 404 Buy -Out Program. The FEMA 404 Program
provides fund for the City to demolish flood- damaged properties. Enclosed is a letter
from Nicole Turpin, Regional Planning Coordinator for the East Central Intergovern-
mental Association (ECIA) and supporting documentation.
DISCUSSION
Planning staff continues to work with ECIA to facilitate the buy -out of two remaining
flood- damaged properties in the Manson Road /Old Mill Road area. The first property is
at 1711 Old Mill Road and is the white house located on the south side of the Old Mill
Road Bridge. The second structure is the detached garage at 1654 Manson Road. The
house at 1654 Manson Road has already been taken down through FEMA's 403
Program which provided funds to the City to demolish flood- damaged structures prior to
taking ownership. Under the 404 Program, both properties will be under City ownership
prior to demolition of the structures. The following bids were received for asbestos
survey and monitoring of abatement for the subject properties:
1. Cardno ATC, Waterloo, IA — not to exceed bid of $1,475 for 35 samples and all
required reports; any additional samples will be at cost of $18.00 /sample.
2. Hawkeye Environmental, Solon, IA — not to exceed bid of $1,475 for 35 samples
and all required reports; any additional samples will be at cost of $25.00 /sample.
RECOMMENDATION
ECIA Regional Planning Coordinator Nicole Turpin is recommending that Cardno ATC
be awarded the contract since they have the lowest sample rate of $18 /sample.

Abatement Contract Award for FEMA Buy -Out Program

Page 2
Ms. Turpin indicates that since the bid specifications were written that additional
samples may be needed depending on what the asbestos inspector finds, that the lower
sample rate of $18 /sample will yield the lower overall project cost. Staff concurs with
this recommendation.
REQUESTED ACTION
The requested action is for the City Council to award the Asbestos Survey and
Monitoring of Abatement contract to Cardno ATC to allow for surveying and monitoring
of the properties at 1711 Old Mill Road and 1654 Manson Road through the FEMA 404
Buy -Out Program.

Dear Laura:
•
The bids submitted for Asbestos Survey and Monitoring of Abatement for the properties located
at 1711 Old Mill Road and1654 Manson Road (garage) are as follows:
1). Cardno ATC., Waterloo, IA — Not to exceed bid of $1,475 for 35 samples at $18.00 per
sample.
2). Hawkeye Environmental, Solon, IA -- Not to exceed bid of $1,475 for 35 samples at $25.00
per sample.
For more detail please see the attached bid tabulation recap sheet. Monitoring of abatement
and report preparation and post abatement inspection and clearance letter are fixed costs. The
bid states that the contractor is paid based on the number of samples actually taken with a
minimum of 35 samples for the total project.
Both firms have completed FEMA projects that ECIA has administered previously and both firms
completed the projects without any issues. Since the bid specifications are written that
additional samples may be needed depending on what the asbestos inspector finds, I would
recommend Cardno ATC, since they have the lowest sample rate of $18.00 per sample. If you
have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
C
