Approve an appropriation of $104,878 from the General Fund Balance to
the Public Works Facilities Maintenance Operating Budget for urgent
mold and asbestos abatement at Fire Station No. 2.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution approving an appropriation of $104,878 from the General Fund balance to
the Public Works Facilities Maintenance Operating Budget for reimbursement of costs
associated with urgent mold and asbestos abatement activities at Fire Station No. 2.
Executive Summary
The Facilities Maintenance Division of the Public Works Branch confirmed the presence of mold
in Fire Station No. 2 and initiated abatement processes. During this process, it was determined
that the carpet would have to be replaced. Testing of the carpet revealed that the adhesive
adhering the carpet to the concrete slab contained asbestos. As a result, all asbestos containing
materials underlying the carpet were remediated and replaced with new flooring. Additionally,
all identified mold and asbestos containing materials were also remediated.
The expenses for abatement and remediation were funded from the current year Facilities
Maintenance Operating Budget. This unexpected expense of $104,878 cannot be easily
absorbed by the Facilities Maintenance Division. Staff is requesting City Council approval for a
mid-year appropriation from the General Fund balance to replace expended funds of the
Facilities Maintenance Division.
Discussion
The Facilities Maintenance Division was notified on Oct. 16, 2019 of the possible existence of
mold at Fire Station No. 2 and conducted air quality testing on Oct. 17, 2019. Staff was
relocated and mold remediation was scheduled to begin the next day on Oct. 18, 2019. Based
on these findings, staff initiated mold and asbestos remediation processes. These findings and
actions were reported to City Council through Memoranda Nos. 2019121 and 2019124
distributed on Oct. 18, 2019 and Oct. 25, 2019, respectively.
As of Nov. 7, 2019, mold and asbestos remediation have been completed, new vinyl flooring
has been installed and staff have. returned to Fire Station No. 2. Follow-up air quality tests have
confirmed that remediation procedures were successful.

funds from its operating budget to address these issues. As a result, the Facilities Maintenance
Operating Budget has now been reduced by $104,878. It is requested that City Council
authorize the deputy city manager, administrative services, to appropriate $104,878 from the
General Fund balance to the Facilities Maintenance Division Operating Budget.

Air quality testing $2,700
Mold remediation $55,227
Carpet replacement $19,984
Asbestos remediation $19,750
Alternate housing & incidentals $7,217
TOTAL EXPENSES $104,878
Next Steps
Upon adopting the Resolution, the deputy city manager, adm inistrative services will
appropriate funds in the amount of $104,878 from General Fund balance to the Facilities
Maintenance Division Operating Budget.

Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2019121
This memorandum provides information about mold remediation at Fire Station 2.
Background
Following a recent water leak in the shower at Fire Station 2, staff noticed what appeared to be
mold in the area. Testing has confirmed the presence of mold, and Fire Station 2 staff have been
temporarily relocated until remediation is completed.
Discussion
Air quality samples taken the morning of Oct. 17, 2019, confirmed the presence of mold in
several areas of the station. The standard protocol for the type of mold detected includes
cleaning and treating the affected areas with an antimicrobial solution as well as cleaning the
heating and cooling system. This work is expected to take between seven and 10 days.
Since mold can pose a health hazard, personnel have been temporarily relocated to a post in the
Dove Library parking lot and are using facilities at Fire Station 5 as needed. Fire administration
staff are working closely with Carlsbad Firefighters' Association leadership to address any health
concerns and minimize operational impacts associated with the temporary relocation of staff.
The Dove Library location was selected because its location is within the Fire Station 2 service
area. During the relocation, approximately 30 parking spaces in the northeast portion of the
library parking lot will be unavailable.
Next Steps
City staff from the Fire Department, Facilities, Human Resources and Risk Management are
planning to meet with the fire station staff this morning at 9:30 a.m. in the Safety Center
Conference Rooms to review the test results, remediation, temporary relocation plan and any
health concerns.

Fire Station 2 Asbestos Abatement Plan
EXHIBIT 3
{city of
Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2019124
This memorandum provides information about asbestos abatement at Fire.Station 2.
Background
On Oct. 18, a Council Memorandum (Attachment A) was issued regarding the presence of mold
· at Fire Station 2. As part of the mold remediation efforts, staff removed a portion of the carpet
and had the adhesive material tested. Test results (Attachment B) confirmed the presence of
asbestos. Fire station staff will remain temporarily relocated until asbestos abatement efforts
are. complete.
Discussion
Prior to 1980, asbestos was commonly used in manufacturing a variety of bui_lding materials,
including floor adhesives. As a result, asbestos is present in many older buildings. It is generally
not a concern unless disturbed, such as during construction.
Samples taken on Oct. 18 confirmed the presence of asbestos on the adhesive material beneath
a section of carpet in the station. An asbestos remediation company has been retained to
remove the carpet and adhesive according to state health and safety code standards, and abate
the asbestos-containing materials. This work is expected to take between seven and 10 days.
Upon completion of the asbestos abatement, a flooring contractor will install new vinyl flooring
throughout the facility.
Fire personnel have already been temporarily relocated and will continue to use facilities at Fire
Station 5 as needed. Fire administration staff are working closely with Carlsbad Firefighters'
Association leadership to address any health concerns and minimize operational impacts
associated with the temporary relocation of staff.
Next Steps·
In accordance with California Health and Safety Code Division 20, Chapter 10.4 [25915.2{a)] an
employee notice (Attachment C) will be distributed on Oct. 25 to share the test results and

abatement plan. The notice was developed by city staff from the Fire Department, Facilities,
Human Resources and Risk Management.
Alliance Environmental, a firm specializing in asbestos abatement, will begin work on Oct. 29, ·
2019. Up.on conclusion of the asbestos removal and abatement, sampling will again be
c~nducted to ensure the absence of mold and asbestos. The anticipated completion date for
both the asbestos abatement and mold remediation efforts is Nov. 8,. 2019. Affected personnel
will continue to receive timely updates on the progress of the'se efforts, and will have resources
av9ilable to them for addressing their health or safety concerns:

Attachment C
As part of the recent mold remediation at Fire Station 2, _Facilities staff removed a portion of
the carpet and had the adhesive material tested. Test results confirmed the presence of
asbestos. Lab results are attached as a reference.
Prior to 1980, asbestos was commonly used in manufacturing of a variety of building materials,
including floor adhesives. As_ a· result, asbestos is present in many older buildings. It is generally·
not a concern until removal by sanding or scraping sends asbestos dust into the air.
Facilities has retained an asbestos remediati~n company, Alliance Environmental, to remove
the carpet and adhesive according to state health and safety code standards. New flooring will
then need to be installed. Removal of the flooring, abating the asbestos-containing materials
and reinstalling the flooring will extend the anticipated mold remediation completion date by
about a week. Alliance Environmental will start their work on Tuesday, October 29, 2019, with
an anticipated completion date of November 5th. Upon completion of the asbestos
abatement, we will have a flooring contractor install new vinyl flooring throughout t_he facil ity.
We are hoping to have all work completed November 8th th, with a move-in date of November
9thth• This date may change as construction progresses, and we will be sure to keep you
· informed should that occur.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate_ your flexibility as t_his work is completed.
