f. According to Texas Administrative Code §296.191(g)(4)(A), all properties are exempt from asbestos survey and abatement requirements since the structures are not located on the same site (within 660 feet) and under the control of the same owner as another residential structure that is planned for renovation or demolition within the same calendar year.

1.4. CONTRACT PROVISIONS

a. The awarded contractor shall be required to execute a Demolition of Structure Contract like the sample contract attached and shall be required to provide the insurance as outlined herein. No changes to the attached contract will be allowed.

b. By submitting a bid for this project, the bidder is acknowledging the insurance requirements found in the attached contract, and they can comply with all insurance requirements as specified herein within 5 days of notice of intent to award.

c. The awarded contractor will be required to file a 10-day notification to the Texas

Department of State Health Services (DSHS) as required by State law. Regulations require that notification be made to DSHS before beginning renovation projects which include the disturbance of any asbestos-containing material (ACM) in a building or facility or before the demolition of a building or facility, even when no asbestos is present.

The notification must be made whether you are notifying in accordance with NESHAP, TAHPR, or both. DSHS shall be notified using the Online Asbestos Notification System or by mailing the Asbestos Abatement/Demolition Notification Form to DSHS. Notification shall be made no less than 10 working days (not calendar days) prior to the start of demolition or asbestos abatement activity or any other activity that will disturb asbestos (except for emergencies or ordered demolitions). Notifications which do not meet the 10-day requirement or are incomplete are considered to be ‘improper’ and may result in enforcement proceedings.

The City will be responsible for paying any fees assessed by DSHS, excluding any penalty fees assessed as a result of the contractor’s non-compliance with the notification rules or performance regulations.

d. The contractor will be required to file for the appropriate permits as required by City Ordinance. However, the City will waive the permit application fees associated with obtaining the permits.
