Board approves high-school abatement, awards Whittier playground bid and authorizes building clearance before demolition
Summary
The school board awarded a $12,048 abatement contract for the high school, approved a low bid for the Whittier playground project, and authorized opening the building for public/private removal of reusable items prior to demolition; the board also discussed timeline and DOT concerns about scoreboard advertising.
The Indianola board voted to award the high school asbestos abatement project to Rewer Corporation of De Moine for $12,048. The motion passed unanimously among voting members present.
Trustees also approved the low bid for the Whittier Playground project to a firm identified in the minutes as 'turf, etc.' (transcript text: 'we summit Missouri') with the recorded construction cost shown in the meeting record as '29,16' (the transcript recording of that figure is unclear). Board discussion said the project will be funded with public recreation money and is scheduled to begin June 1 and finish by Aug. 3.
Finally, the board authorized the district to open the vacant high school building to public and private entities to remove repurposable equipment, furnishings and supplies before demolition, with removal, transportation and associated costs borne by the receiving party; the district will reserve a portion of items for future district needs and publish notice as required. Board members discussed liability controls and scheduling for supervised removal before abatement work begins.
