Is the same company doing the environmental remediation and the demolition of the buildings?
No. Weston’s agreement – the Guaranteed Fixed Price Environmental Liability Transfer Agreement (“ELTA”) – requires Weston to assume the risk, responsibility and liability associated with and necessary for remediation of the environmental contamination at the property for a fixed price. The building demolition work is separate and distinct from the environmental remediation and associated transfer of liability and therefore, the building demolition work will be completed under a separate contract. Although the environmental remediation and building demolition work will be completed under separate contracts, Weston and the demolition contractor will be contractually required to cooperate and coordinate their separate, but sometimes overlapping, activities. The Township has hired JM Sorge, Inc. to oversee both contracts to ensure quality control and complete and full environmental and health and safety compliance.
