Environmental_Report_-_Phase_I_Jan2026.pdf

This is an Environmental Report – Phase I dated January 2026 prepared for the City of Meriden in connection with the RFQ/P027-29 Architectural and Engineering Services for the New Pulaski School project. The report provides Phase I environmental site assessment findings for the property located at 1 King Place, Meriden, Connecticut 06451, which is the proposed site for the construction of a new Casimir Pulaski Elementary School. The Phase I assessment documents existing environmental conditions and identifies any recognized environmental conditions (RECs) or potential contamination concerns that may affect the design and construction of the new school facility. This environmental evaluation is critical to the comprehensive design services being procured from the selected architectural and engineering firm and supports the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (CTDAS) school construction grant requirements for the Meriden Public School District.

The Phase I Environmental Report serves as foundational documentation for the design professionals to understand baseline site conditions, soil and groundwater characteristics, and any environmental remediation or mitigation measures that may be necessary during the planning and construction phases of the project. This assessment informs the scope of work for the selected architect and engineer regarding site-specific environmental considerations that must be integrated into the overall project design and implementation strategy. The report's findings will influence design decisions, construction methodologies, and cost estimates for the new school facility while ensuring compliance with Connecticut environmental regulations and CTDAS grant requirements.
