Loading...
Summary
At the July 10 session the board opened multiple bids for debris removal at the Pearl Cleaners site and for demolition of several residential parcels, recorded low bidders, and took the bids under advisement for later award.
The Evansville Board of Public Safety opened and recorded multiple bids for demolition and debris removal on July 10, taking the offers under advisement pending administrative review.
For debris removal at 428 NW Third Street (the Pearl Cleaners site), the board recorded bids from Stimley Excavating ($49,400), Velpen Trucking & Disposal ($141,000), Clink Company ($322,700), NOS LLC ($72,900) and KKH Properties LLC ($1,284,760). Chair and staff noted the wide variance in bids; the board moved to take the bids under advisement for staff review.
The board also opened bids for demolition of several residential properties and identified low bidders by parcel. For example, Hydorn Excavating (Hydorn) was the low bidder at 1806 North Sixth Avenue ($6,495); Stimley Excavating was low on other parcels (dollar amounts recorded in the bid opening). Members voted to take those residential bids under advisement rather than award contracts immediately.
Kim of the building commission explained the bids and asked the board to accept them for later action; the board complied. The emergency demolition contract for 1717 South New York Avenue was presented as an immediate award request and the board approved that emergency demolition contract to Stimley Excavating ($8,645).
Board members did not award the larger package contracts at the meeting; staff will review bids and return recommendations.
