County to proceed with lowest bid for Illinois shop demolition after historic‑status check
Summary
Cerro Gordo County staff reported two bids for demolition of the Illinois shop and said staff will pursue a city historic‑status determination and a demolition permit before proceeding with the lower bidder.
Cerro Gordo County staff reported two bids for demolition of the Illinois shop and said they plan to proceed with the lower bidder pending a city historic‑status determination and issuance of a demolition permit.
Brandon, a county staff member, said the county received bids from Navratil Excavating and McInnis. McInnis bid $38,545 and Navratil bid $35,000. Brandon told the board he plans to proceed with Navratil because that bid was about 10% lower than the competing estimate: "I'm gonna move forward with Navratil because it was 10% below the competing estimate." He said the next steps are to ask the city to determine whether the building is historical, then apply for a demolition permit; he expects permitting to take up to roughly 90 days and hopes demolition can occur this fall or over the winter.
Staff noted the county will preserve and reuse the building floor and that fuel costs are the primary remaining variable that could affect price. No formal board vote to award a demolition contract was recorded in the transcript; staff described the procurement results and next procedural steps.
