BACKGROUND
Hurricane Rita destroyed the Administration Building at the Main WWTP. This building provided general office
and laboratory space. For several months, we have been preparing for its repair/replacement. Recent testing at
this facility revealed asbestos in some of the building materials that must be abated before normal demolition
and reconstruction can take place. Three (3) bid packets were sent out and two (2) bids were received on May
19, 2006.

BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT
This building is insured for a maximum of $200,000. A FEMA Project Worksheet has been completed for 75%
of any costs over our insured coverage, and FEMA will participate in building modifications necessary to meet
current code requirements. Our consultant's estimate for replacement of this building is $258,000.
