(new) d, Sett ng Public Hearings. Aq- al5 (1) Consider a resolution setting public hearing on September 19, 1989, on plans, specifications, form of contract and estimate of cost for the Civic Center/Police and Fire departments asbestos removal project. Comment; Our asbestos consultant, Chart Services of Des Moines, Iowa, has tested various materials in the Civic Center and discovered limited amounts of asbestos in certain floor tiles and pipe insulation in the Civic Center. It is the recommendation of our consultant that these asbestoscontaining materials be removed. It is important at this time to expedite the removal process since some of the material to be removed is located in the Police and Fire departments which are being remodeled at the present time. Our consultant has indicated it is not unusual to have only a ten-day bid period since most of the regional abatement contractors are quite familiar with the process Involved; therefore, we have set an extremely tight bid schedule. We propose to first remove asbestos -containing materials from the Police and Fire departments and then as work progresses on the remaining phases of the Civic Center remodeling, remove the remaining materials, The cost of removal of asbestos from the Police and Fire departments is estimated at $25,000. i City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATli September 5, 1989 TO: City Council and General Public FROM: City Clerk RE: Addition to the Consent Calander of the September 5, 1989 meeting 4.c.(16) Consider a motion approving a Liquor License refired for Drug Pair,.Inc. dba Peoples Drug #5276, 2425 Muscatine Avenue.
