The Kokomo City Board of Public Works and Safety on July 9 awarded a demolition contract for a residential structure at 211 West King Street to Jeremy Schultz Farms LLC for $10,200.

Peter Shaw, a development specialist, told the board that on July 2 the city received three bids for the demolition: Coomer Contracting Inc. for $13,500; Hershberger Excavating LLC for $15,900; and Jeremy Schultz Farms LLC for $10,200. "Jeremy Schultz Farms LLC has submitted the lowest and most responsive bid for the demolition project," Shaw said and recommended awarding the contract to that bidder.

A board member moved to approve Jeremy Schultz Farms LLC as the lowest, most responsible bidder, a second was given, and the presiding officer recorded the voice vote: "Aye. Motion carries." The original bid specifications and contract documents were attached for the board’s approval and signature, according to the packet referenced in the meeting remarks.
