Purchasing Director Dan Underwood presented two proposals for structural demolition and site clearance and recommended contracting with Danny Sullivan Excavating LLC as the more cost-effective bidder; the contract would be one year with up to three renewal years and funded from CDBG and city funds.

Dan Underwood, Huntington's purchasing director, presented a request on Dec. 23 for council authorization to enter a contract for structural demolition and site clearance in the city.

Underwood said two proposals were received: Danny Sullivan Excavating LLC (Coal Grove, Ohio) and Reclaim Company LLC (Fairmont, West Virginia). A five-person review team concluded both firms had the capacity and experience to perform the work, and the recommendation favored Danny Sullivan Excavating as the more cost-effective option.

Funding would come from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and city funds.
