Specialty Consulting, Inc. (SPC), in collaboration with Cook County Health leadership, conducted comprehensive environmental assessments across multiple healthcare facilities, including the Oak Forest Health Center Campus, Cook County Health Administration Building, and others. This initiative aimed to ensure compliance with various environmental regulations, such as EPA, OSHA, City of Chicago, and IDPH standards while addressing any identified deficiencies or concerns.

The scope of work encompassed Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments for each facility, including assessments of current and former Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and other Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs). Additionally, SPC executed a Phase II ESA for the Oak Forest Health Center Campus to evaluate environmental conditions within potential future redevelopment areas.

Furthermore, SPC developed planning and survey reports for each building based on hazardous material assessments, alongside creating abatement and remediation cost estimates for asbestos, lead, PCB, and universal waste management, among others. All project activities were meticulously coordinated with various internal teams within the County to ensure seamless execution and adherence to project objectives and timelines.
