Project Description: (Approx. quantities)

The Oahe Project has identified a need to remove and replace deteriorating panels and insulation in each of the seven hoist motor rooms at the intake structure. The panels and insulation are located on the ceilings and walls in each of the rooms. The materials were tested for asbestos and results show that asbestos is present in the wall panels but not the insulation. It is assumed that the ceiling panels contain asbestos since the design drawing indicate they are ‘cementos.'

The basic scope of work for this construction contract will be twofold: demolition and renovation. The demolition phase will include the permitting, abatement/removal, transportation, and disposal of all panels with ACM and all insulation. The Project Office will supply electrical clearance but there will be some level of effort for the contractor to TEMPORARILY move/remove items such as conduit, brackets, etc. It is assumed that the wooden blocking behind the insulation should be acceptable for reuse in fastening the new materials. The nails or fasteners that were used previously will have to be removed. The renovation will include the installation of new insulation and panels that are moisture resistant. Total thickness of the current transite board (3/16") and insulation (1") is 1 and 3/16." The thickness of the replacement panel and insulation cannot exceed the prior thickness due to the presence of conduit, equipment, etc. that is off set from the walls.

The estimated construction cost of this project is between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
