Urban renewal board awards remodel contract for city-owned building at 1858 Union Ave
Summary
The council acting as the Urban Renewal Agency awarded a remodel contract—agenda-listed at $326,100—for the former Bay Cleaners building at 1858 Union Ave; staff said an additive alternate of about $11,500 will be removed, making the expected contract value about $314,600, and the work is tied to a historic-preservation grant with an April 15 completion requirement.
The Northview City Council, acting as the Urban Renewal Agency, voted on Nov. 17 to award the construction contract for the remodel of the city‑owned building at 1858 Union Ave (the former Bay Cleaners) to the low bidder identified in the meeting record.
Staff said the project received three bids with a tight spread and that the additive alternate (roughly $11,500) requested by the prospective lessee will be deleted from the awarded contract, reducing the contract amount from the agenda figure of $326,100 to approximately $314,600. The work is funded in part by a historic-preservation grant, and staff noted the project must meet a grant-related completion schedule with an April 15 deadline.
Staff also described the scope as a full reroof, repainting, and refurbishing of the building face and interior shell; the council approved the award by voice vote while serving in its capacity as the Urban Renewal Agency board.
Next steps: staff will issue the notice of award, allow the required seven-day bid-protest window under state law, and finalize the contract with the construction firm identified in the award.
