CREST HAVEN – Building 12 at Cape May County Airport continues to cost taxpayers even after it’s gone. The building, which once housed the Navy mess hall, was later used for a variety of purposes. Some or all of those polluted the surrounding ground, for which the county paid for remediation.
At the Jan. 26 meeting, freeholders approved a $23,342 contract to Garden State Construction Inc. for slab and foundation demolition.
The Clermont-based firm was previously awarded a contract, however, during excavation work, an underground fuel storage tank, additional floor slabs, additional transite piping and rubble was unearthed under the main floor slab. That find resulted in more work than originally contained in the earlier contract.
Also related to Building 12, the board approved modification in the amount of $24,000 to a professional services agreement to Hatch Mott MacDonald for license site remediation at the site. That extra sum was because of the finding of the above-mentioned underground fuel storage tank during demolition.
In other business the board:
Approved a change order for $2,905 to Aliano Brothers General Contractors Inc. for the Stone Harbor Branch Library. The change order was the result of a redesign of the first floor slab.
