1.01 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

a. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Contract, the Contractor shall demolish and remove the building, contents, and debris, whether above or below ground, as specified and as required, and as directed by Kennedy Township. In connection therewith, the Contractor shall furnish all insurance, materials, equipment and facilities and all labor, supervision, and services as and when required for or in connection with the demolition and removal of the structures located on the following parcel (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Work”):

Interior walls and ceilings are drywall, with flooring consisting of wood, floor tile, and concrete. The building is in poor physical condition. A NESHAP asbestos survey was performed by Allegheny Global Environmental, Inc. (AGE) on December 16, 2025. Eleven bulk samples were collected and analyzed; none of the sampled materials were determined to contain asbestos containing material (ACM) by PLM analysis. Notwithstanding the absence of detected ACM, the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) requires submission of a completed Asbestos Abatement and Demolition/Renovation Notification Form at least 10 working days prior to the commencement of demolition activities, regardless of ACM quantity. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to demolish and dispose of all building materials in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

b. Base Bid: The 289 Forest Grove Road, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania property contains a one-story frame structure with a full basement. The date of construction is 1921. The building is in a state of partial collapse. An asbestos survey was attempted by Allegheny Global Environmental, Inc. (AGE) on December 16, 2025; however, a complete ACM inspection could not be performed due to the unsafe physical condition of the structure.

AGE recommends that demolition be conducted in accordance with Asbestos NESHAP regulations and that all debris be disposed of at a facility permitted to accept asbestos waste.
