Euclid Board of Control awards demolition contract, approves city requisitions
Summary
At its April 21 meeting the Euclid Board of Control awarded a demolition contract to B and B Wrecking and Excavating Inc. and approved multiple requisitions for the wastewater and general funds, as well as maintenance work in the downtown TIF district.
The Euclid Board of Control on April 21 voted to award a demolition contract to B and B Wrecking and Excavating Inc. and approved six requisitions covering wastewater chemicals, membrane consulting services, investigative databases, training software and downtown landscaping maintenance.
Sealed bids for the “2, 26, 111 demolition project” were received on March 24, 2025, and the board approved B and B Wrecking and Excavating Inc. as “the lowest and best bid received” at $138,400. Director Grogan Myers presented the recommendation, saying sealed bids were received on 03/24/2025 “for the 2, 26, 111 demolition project as authorized by ordinance fourteen-twenty 25.”
Director Putty noted that the apparent low bidder, Pro Quality Demolition, “did not comply with 1 of the bid specifications, namely that they did not do a walk through of the building, a mandatory walk through of the building. I believe it was on March 10 when all the other contractors were there.” The board voted verbally in favor of the award on a motion from Director Bridal Myers with a second from Director Cooney.
Separately, the board approved a series of requisitions presented during the meeting. A staff member moved purchase approvals and each was seconded by board members; all passed by voice vote. Key items approved included:
- Sodium hypochlorite, $150,000, from the wastewater treatment fund. A staff speaker described the purchase as “for the membranes for cleaning and bypass disinfection. This is a draw down.”
- Xenon Environmental Corp., $9,834, from the wastewater treatment fund, described as an annual fee for insight processing and consulting reports from the membrane manufacturer.
- Thompson West, $7,833, from the general fund, for an online database used by detectives in investigations.
- Front Line Public Safety Solutions, $6,338, from the general fund, for a software package to update the department’s training records and program.
- Euclid Group LLC, $9,370, from the Downtown District A TIF fund, for median landscaping maintenance on Lakeshore Boulevard, including herbicide application, weeding, fertilizing and trash pickup.
- Euclid Group LLC, $11,420, from the Downtown District A TIF fund, for watering landscaped islands along Lakeshore Boulevard to maintain trees and plants.
The board also took routine actions earlier in the meeting: it excused Councilwoman Steele on a motion by Director Stevens, seconded by Director Schiaffolo, and approved the minutes from the April 14 meeting on a motion by Director Cooney, seconded by Director Grogan Myers. The meeting adjourned after a motion to adjourn by Director Stevens, seconded by Director Zafolo.
Why it matters: The demolition award moves a city-authorized demolition project toward execution and the requisitions authorize operational spending across wastewater operations, public safety tools and downtown maintenance that affect daily city services and downtown appearance.
