J �o <br /> • <br /> January 16, 1996 <br /> Mr. Mike Morrison <br /> St. Anthony Village <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Rd. <br /> St. Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> Dear Mike, <br /> We've done some research on asbestos abatement, and based on what we've been told, there are <br /> several approaches the City can take to abating any hazardous materials in the existing building. <br /> One approach is to hire an asbestos consulting firm who will test for hazardous materials only, <br /> and will not abate. Minneapolis Public Schools, for example, typically will hire an asbestos <br /> consultant to determine the extent of hazardous material, then will hire an abatement contractor <br /> on a second contract to remove the material. The following consultants were recommeded to us <br /> by some people we've worked with at Minneapolis Public Schools. <br /> • Concept Environmental 730-7886 Dave Gutterrud <br /> Institute for Environmental Assessment 535-7721 Jeff Carlson <br /> Legends Technical Services 642-1150 Keith Georgie or Sharol Secora <br /> Several other consulting firms have contacted our office to express their interest in the work as <br /> well. <br /> A second approach is to hire an asbestos removal firm who will subcontract the testing work, <br /> and subsequently remove the material. The advantage to this approach is that the City will have <br /> a single contract. Remcon is one abatement firm that comes recommended from the Minneapolis <br /> Public Housing Authority. <br /> In ei!hcr approach, i! is prudent. to get several bids, since costs can vary dramatically. If you <br /> would like our office to contact the firms, as we've done with other testing companies, let me <br /> know. I'll be glad to have them send proposals to you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Elizabeth Herrmann <br /> • <br /> WILLIAMS/O'BRIEN ASSOCIATES INC. 1111 THIRD AVENUE SOUTH, SUITE 156 MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55404 <br /> ARCHITECTS/PLANNERS <br /> 612-338-8981 FAX 612-338-8982 <br />
