Pool Demo Steps and Sample Contract

[Boris Suchkov]

I'm looking to demolish and fill in a non-functioning pool. Having no experience with this, I would like to learn what are the steps involved so that I can better negotiate with a company that specializes in this, or even just get a handyman to do it if it's relatively simple. So far here's what I understand needs to happen:

1) Remove and dispose of pipes and machinery like the pump and filter.

2) Make holes in the concrete lining so that water can drain (or even jackhammer the entire lining into pieces and bury them, not sure).

3) Fill the hole with clean fill.

4) Compact the fill and get a compaction report (required for city pass inspection, and also to allow future construction on the site).

Anything I'm missing? What would a simple contract look like for this type of work? Any advice appreciated!
