Posted on 03/24/2017 (press release)
Port Angeles, Wash. – Port Angeles School District Board of Directors made several decisions relating to facilities at its Thursday, March 23 meeting held at Lincoln High School.
Directors approved the Monroe Elementary School Demolition Project Design and Management proposal. Directors also voted to move funds from its Debt Service Fund to its Capital Projects Fund.
Monroe Demolition Project Design and Management Proposal
Directors approved the Monroe Elementary School Demolition Project Design and Management proposal presented by Nolan Duce, director of maintenance and facilities, and submitted by PBS Engineering and Environmental, Inc. (PBS). This project covers the investigation, design, permitting, bid, construction, and closeout services.
Duce estimated the investigation stage will begin immediately.
The PBS project estimate is $118,560.20 and includes investigation period services ($35,852.20; design period services ($41,920); and construction period services ($40,788).
The proposal outlines PBS’s proposed services and fees to demolish the majority of the existing structures on the site of the former Monroe Elementary School. Services included are: building and site surveys for the presence of regulated/hazardous materials and underground fuel storage tank; abatement, demolition and site stabilization design document development; permitting; bid specification and drawings; bid period assistance; construction period services, including abatement monitoring, site inspection, closure assistance, and project closeout. The District intends to retain the portable building, shed, playground, water, power, septic and asphalt paving associated with the portable, as well as all significant trees not impacted by the demolition.
Monroe Elementary was closed in June of 2004.
“The building is 41,760 square feet,” Duce said, “and originally built in 1949. Common building materials used back then were asbestos and lead based paint. There is also an underground fuel tank for the boiler. The building has become a safety issue.”
