Completed plans call for the demolition of a municipal facility; for the renovation of a municipal facility; for site work for a municipal facility; and for asbestos abatement for a municipal facility.

Work will consist of the abatement of hazardous building materials including ACM and LBP. Window replacement will be completed by another contractor semi-concurrently. Work Site Address: Dixon Building 116 Knox Street Barbourville, Kentucky 40906 Informational Zoom Call for Oral Questions (Optional) 11:00 AM September 15, 2025 Written Questions Due To LFI 11:00 AM September 22, 2025 Response to Written Questions Posted on City of Barbourville and CVADD websites 4:00 PM September 29, 2025 Project Background The subject site is a 3-story, vacant brick building currently known as the Dixon Building, located at 116 Knox Street in downtown Barbourville, Kentucky, in a dense commercial area. The building was constructed around 1900 and originally known as the Parker Building. It has been used for several purposes through the years, including as offices, a bank and a clothing store. The site has been dormant for several years, and is in a deteriorating condition of compromised structural integrity. The structure experienced a partial collapse in June of 2021. Based on the structure's age, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paints are presumed present on all floors of the building. Due to the unstable and partially collapsed structure, comprehensive ACM surveys of the building have been deemed unsafe. Redevelopment of the building for any cost-effective, practical re-use will require removal of the ACM. However, due to the unstable nature of at least portions of the deteriorating building, based on a structural engineering study found in Appendix C following the June 2021 partial collapse, emergency stabilization of the building is necessary and associated safety concerns would be presented to personnel inside the structure attempting to survey, sample, and properly remove ACM with the building remaining intact. Additionally, the likely imminent collapse of other portions of the building's outer walls in the event of an intact cleanup of ACM from the building could also dangerously affect adjoining properties, some of which are occupied structures. Consequently, due to the safety and collateral damage concerns to human health and environment associated with intact removal/mitigation of the ACM within the old Dixon Building, ACM remediation of the site will be a "wet" removal effort involving demolition of the building with measures taken to control potential airborne emission of friable ACM through use of a water spray. Once on the ground surface, the ACM and rubble will be loaded onto trucks for proper transport and disposal at an approved landfill permitted for receipt of the material. Work will consist of the abatement of hazardous building materials including ACM and LBP. Window replacement will be completed by another contractor semi-concurrently. All work shall be done in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws and notification and licensing requirements (see Section 6.0 for specific details regarding asbestos abatement). Abatement of hazardous building materials and the disposal of all hazardous wastes will be completed in one mobilization, and all materials from the building will be removed and disposed of properly off-site or, where feasible and allowable, recycled, as described in the Contractor's Work Plan, after having been approved by the Owner and Owner's site representative. The Owner, for purposes of this demolition project, is the City of Barbourville and the Owner's site representative is Linebach Funkhouser, Inc.
