RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 36293 with
Eagle Construction and Environmental Services, L.P., for performing the Alternative Asbestos Control
Method demolition of the Oak Hollow Apartment's Office Building, 5901 Boca Raton Boulevard, Fort Worth,
Texas, by increasing the total contract not-to-exceed amount from $24,950 to $59,950;
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Environmental
Management Fund (R103) by $35,000 and decreasing the unreserved retained earnings by the same
amount;
3. Approve the transfer of $35,000 in undesignated funds in the Environmental Management Operating
Fund (R103) to the Environmental Management Project Fund (R101); and

DISCUSSION:
The Environmental Management Department (EMD) contracted with Eagle Construction and Environmental
Services, L.P. (Eagle), for the demolition of the Oak Hollow Office Building following the Alternative
Asbestos Control Method (ARCM). EMD, in coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS), performed the ARCM demolition to gather
data on the effectiveness of the AACM. Letters of No Action Assurance allowing the use of the AACM on
this one building were received from the EPA and the TDSHS.
The ARCM allows certain asbestos-containing materials to be removed as part of the demolition process.
Asbestos-containing materials are wetted with a foam mixture the night before demolition; wetted again the
morning of demolition; and then continuously wetted during demolition, debris handling and debris loading
for disposal. Additionally all water is contained on the site. Following removal of the building debris,
approximately three-inches of soil is removed from all non-paved areas that were in contact with the
demolition debris or applied water. Equipment used for demolition and paved areas in contact with the
demolition operation are decontaminated prior to job completion. The ARCM has the potential to reduce

demolition costs along with demolition time of substandard buildings thus creating new jobs and tax
revenue for communities across the country.
This demolition was part of ongoing research and included costs such as scaffolding rental, access to air
samplers including scaffold mounted samplers, down time to allow for sample collection at various points
during the demolition and remobilization due to weather not suitable for proper sample collection that would
not be a part of standard demolition. The original contracted amount of $24,950 was based on completing
the project in a total of three days from start to finish. Due to unfavorable weather, the project was delayed
causing four days of standby time. Additional soil disposal and heavy equipment decontamination added
two more days to project completion. During the delay, additional costs were incurred for the rental of
equipment such as scaffolding, waste containers, and heavy equipment. Due to the rain, many site
preparation activities had to be performed twice. The delay also caused additional mobilization and
demobilization charges from the contractor and subcontractors. The actual number of waste containers,
waste handling, waste transport and waste disposal exceeded estimates. As a result of these delays,
additional funding of $35,000 is required. The total revised cost for this project of $59,950 will be paid to
Eagle.
The Oak Hollow Office Building is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
