Committee recommends Donegal Services for demolition at Fire Station 22 site; $184,500 contract to be funded by bond
Summary
The Public Health & Safety Committee voted to recommend awarding a demolition contract to Donegal Services LLC for up to $184,500 to clear three buildings at the Fire Station 22 site; asbestos abatement will be handled per code and the village plans on reusing crushed concrete and milled asphalt on-site.
The Village of Hoffman Estates Public Health & Safety Committee recommended awarding a demolition contract on Oct. 20 to Donegal Services LLC of Lamont, Illinois, for work at the future Fire Station 22 site.
Ms. Romali, village staff, told the committee the village purchased property off Governors Lane and needs to remove three office buildings to prepare the site for construction. She said nine bids were received at the Sept. 26 opening and the construction manager reviewed and recommended Donegal Services as the low, responsible bidder. The recommended contract amount is not to exceed $184,500; funding is slated to come from the bond issue for Fire Station 22, which the village expects to issue next spring closer to construction start.
Trustees raised questions about asbestos abatement and neighborhood protections. Todd Perrone of Camozzi Construction (also shown in the record earlier as 'Camosse' in one line) said the asbestos removal is internal and “minor,” that the abatement contractor will follow OSHA and code requirements, and the work will likely take a few hours to a half day. Perrone said the site will be surrounded by an 8-foot security fence with erosion control and that adjacent homes and businesses will be notified in advance.
Perrone and staff also described on-site recycling measures: brick and concrete will be crushed on-site for reuse in the new project; existing asphalt will be milled and reused as backfill. Perrone estimated roughly 1,000 tons of material could be generated and reused on-site.
A motion to recommend the contract passed by voice vote; the committee forwarded the resolution to the full village board for final action.
The record shows the village’s construction manager reviewed bidder references and found past similar work to be favorable. The recommended award and the bond-funded payment plan will return to the board as part of the regular approval process.
