3 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The 130 Lberty Street ste s occuped by a 40 story, approxmately 1.4 mllon square foot offce buldng (Buldng). Interor and exteror portons of the Buldng were severely damaged and/or mpacted as a result of the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers. The Lower Manhattan Development Corporaton (LMDC) took ownershp of the Buldng on August 31, The deconstructon of the Buldng shall be performed n the followng three (3) phases Preparaton Phase Phase I Asbestos and COPC Abatement and Removal Phase II Structural Deconstructon The Preparaton Phase ncludes the erecton of scaffoldng and hosts on the full extent of the exteror of the buldng, erecton of sdewalk sheds, and the removal of exstng nettng on the exteror of the buldng. Phase I s lmted to non-structural, nteror buldng deconstructon tasks.
