REQUEST FOR BID – HOUSE WITH ASBESTOS DEMOLITION

Location: 2098 Old Reserve Drive, Kalispell

Background:

STPS 547-1(14)0, Old Reserve-NW of Kalispell, Parcel 22

The house located at 2098 Old Reserve Drive will either need to be demolished as part of an upcoming MDT reconstruction of Old Reserve Drive.

The improvements include an old schoolhouse turned into a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence and woodshed. The house is the farthest north on the property, and the woodshed is southeast of the house. The house and woodshed have been checked as historical, and they are both NOT historical.

The square foot livable is considered 1,000 square feet. The main floor is 784 square feet, and the second floor is an additional 216 square feet. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It does contain a woodstove.

The single-family residence is comprised of an original structure which has been heavily renovated and added to. The residence is built from dimensional lumber, structural support and framing. The interior of the building is finished with a variety of vinyl sheet flooring, vinyl floor tiles, wood tongue & groove flooring, rolled carpeting. The interior walls & ceilings are covered with a combination of gypsum board systems installed at different dates. Small sections of original plaster on wood and lathe are present & have been covered with newer gypsum board ceiling coverings and/or wall coverings. Multiple types of insulation materials are present within the attic and wall cavities, predominantly the building is insulated with varying types of fiberglass insulation. The structure is heated with a central cast iron fireplace and supported with baseboard electric heaters throughout the residence.

There are other structures on the property that will not be affected by the project and so they were not inspected and are not included in this project.

There is a shop, a metal shop, and a barn on the property that do not require demolition. Demolition is limited to the Residence and Log Shed (See Figure 1).

Hazardous Materials and Asbestos Inspection

On behalf of MDT, GEM Environmental conducted an asbestos inspection on May 29, 2025. The following asbestos containing materials (ACM) were identified and are summarized below:

Eleven (11) HAs of Confirmed ACM (determined to be >1% asbestos) were identified and are summarized below:

· M1.2/S3.2: Drywall system (M1.2) (mud, tape, gypsum board) with 2% Chrysotile Identified in the Mud Layer, and associated smooth texture (S3.2) with 2% Chrysotile Identified. The drywall system and associated texture is located over the walls & ceilings in rooms 07, & 06. The materials are considered RACM, with approximately 1050 Square feet present.

· M1.3/S3.3: Drywall System (M1.3) (mud, tape, gypsum board), with 2% Chrysotile identified in the mud layer, and associated smooth texture (S3.3) with 2% Chrysotile identified. The drywall system and associated texture is located over the walls in room 02. The materials are considered RACM, with approximately 400 square feet.

· M1.4/S3.4: Drywall System (MM1.4) (mud, tape, gypsum board) with 2% Chrysotile identified in the mud layer, and a associated light popcorn texture (S3.4) which contains 2% Chrysotile asbestos. The drywall system and associated texture is installed as the ceiling cap in room 02. The material is RACM, with approximately 150 Square feet present.

· M1.5/S3.5: Drywall System (M1.5) (Mud, tape, gypsum board) with 2% Chrysotile identified in the mud layer, and associated smooth texture (S3.5) which contains 2% Chrysotile asbestos. The drywall system and associated texture is installed as wall and ceiling coverings in room 01. The material is RACM with approximately 450 square feet present.

The drywall system and associated texture is located over the walls in rooms 04 & the walls and ceilings in room 05. The material is RACM with approximately 3000 square feet present.

· F3.1: 9x9 vinyl floor tiles, green with beige streaks with associated black mastic. With 5% Chrysotile asbestos identified in the floor tile & no asbestos detected by PLM in the black mastic layer. The vinyl floor tile system is located in rooms 01, 01-closet, 02, 02-closet, 03, 03-closet, & 04. The material is exposed in the closets, and underneath the rolled carpeting in 04. The material is assumed to be present below the wood tongue and groove flooring throughout rooms 01 & 02. The material is CAT I, with 1350 square feet present.

Supplemental point count analysis of the material was not completed by the laboratory by error (per verbal with CEI). Since no point count data is available, the material is assumed to be >1% and is ACM. The white window glaze is present on the exterior window systems located in rooms 05 & 07 only. With approximately 65 Square feet present.
