Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with HKI Associates for professional engineering services for demolition of the 109 North Front Street building. This building is functionally obsolete suffering from a number of structural and mechanical deficiencies. It is highly energy inefficient, and due to its multi-level design with narrow and uneven floor plates, cannot be renovated in a cost efficient manner to create a modern office environment suitable for the provision of city services.
The building demolition work will be performed in preparation for future construction on the site. The scope of services include: decommissioning and demolition of the building; identification of hazardous wastes; investigation of potentially contaminated soils on the site; assessment of water/sewer piping; removal of electrical/ natural gas services, telephone/data wiring, exterior building shell, basement walls, foundations, slabs-on-grade, disposal of all said building components; and resolution of potential storage and/or relocation of historic markers and commemorations on the north side of the building. Once the building demolition is complete, the site will be properly backfilled and re-compacted to a level grade in preparation for future construction.
