Scope of Work
The primary scope involves the complete demolition and off-site removal of the Sandia Crest House structure, including its concrete slab, stem walls, footings, metal roof, wood decks, and associated septic systems. The contractor is also responsible for restoring the disturbed site to a natural state and installing a 6-foot privacy fabric fence around the demolition area.
Optional items include:
- Optional Item #1 (Casa Loma Recreation Residences): Demolition and disposal of the Dyer House and Del Toro structure, including identified asbestos-containing material (ACM), followed by site restoration with weed-free, non-invasive plant material.

This site is near Canadian, TX, and was not part of the scheduled site visit; pricing should be based on provided plans.
Key Requirements & Clarifications
