Cleveland Wrecking of <br /> Oakland, California was selected as the demolition contractor through a bid process last year. Demolition was delayed <br /> while the Federal General Services Administration worked out a three-party Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the <br /> State Historic Preservation Office and the City. The MOA calls for historic/archeological documentation and steps to <br /> protect the historic Agripac Office building. The agreement was signed in mid-May. <br /> Demolition on the Federal Courthouse site is expected to take 60 days. Demolition on the entire site is to be completed <br /> within six months. As part of the contract specifications, the contractor is required to demonstrate that 90% of the <br /> material removed from the site is diverted from the landfill. Construction of the Federal Courthouse is now scheduled to <br /> begin in December 2003. Substantial completion of the project is expected in late 2005. For information on the <br /> demolition process, contact Mike Penwell, Facilities Division, 682-5547.
