Under state law, the district must offer the site first to Salt Lake City, if it decides to sell the land. And if the land is sold to the city, it’s currently restricted to public uses, said Salt Lake City planning director Nick Norris. In April, Chatwin said major issues with the building included two boilers being “completely dead,” outdated plumbing and a “very dated” electrical system.
In its detailed scope of work document, created to solicit bids, the district said it wanted to remove asbestos, hazardous and other materials, such as PCB chemicals, fluorescent tubes and thermostats that could contain mercury and refrigerants containing freon. “This list may not be all-inclusive,” the document said.
In the request for proposals for the second contract, the district said it wanted the demolition to include the building, concrete tunnels and footings; interior fences, soccer goals and paving; and the removal of trees, shrubs and other plants. It also will include removing playground equipment and basketball hoops and court.
