Committee backs $184,500 demolition contract for Fire Station 22; contractor details asbestos plan and recycling
Summary
The Public Health & Safety committee recommended awarding a demolition contract to Donegal Services LLC for the Fire Station 22 site, with contractor Camozzi Construction describing asbestos abatement procedures, a security fence, and plans to crush and reuse concrete and mill asphalt (about 1,000 tons anticipated).
The Hoffman Estates Public Health & Safety committee voted to recommend a resolution authorizing an agreement with Donegal Services LLC of Lamont, Illinois, for demolition of the new Fire Station 22 site in an amount not to exceed $184,500.
Ms. Romali, staff lead on the project, told the committee the village purchased property off Governors Lane and solicited nine bids at a Sept. 26 opening; Camozzi Construction, the village’s construction manager, reviewed bids and recommended Donegal as the low, responsible bidder. "The low responsible bidder was determined to be Donegal Services," Romali said, and funding for demolition will come from the Fire Station 22 bond issue, which she said is expected to be issued in spring 2026.
Trustees pressed contractors on site safety and material handling. Todd Perrone of Camozzi Construction described the asbestos abatement as internal and minor: "It is internal to the building... it is minor, minor, removal process," and said abatement will be performed to meet OSHA and code requirements and that an eight-foot security fence, erosion control measures and notices to adjacent homes and businesses will be used to protect nearby residents.
Perrone also described recycling plans: concrete foundations, curbs, sidewalks and slabs will be crushed on-site for reuse in the new project, and asphalt pavement will be milled and reused for backfill. "We're anticipating generating about a thousand tons of material," he said. Trustee questions also addressed whether the $184,500 is firm; staff said they do not expect change orders but would return to the board if unforeseen conditions require adjustments.
The committee voted to forward the resolution to the full board with an affirmative voice vote; the item will appear on the board agenda for final approval and contract execution.
