City awards $14,550 demolition contract for 609 North School Street
Summary
Augusta accepted the low bid from Double J Services LLC to remove structures and return 609 North School Street to green space; council approved the $14,550 contract and discussed preserving mature trees and possible public-safety training prior to demolition.
The Augusta City Council approved awarding a $14,550 contract to Double J Services LLC to remove structures, slabs and backfill the lot at 609 North School Street and convert the parcel to open green space adjacent to the downtown park and Frisco Depot.
Staff said the city acquired the property several months ago, the tenant had vacated and staff solicited proposals for removing multiple structures on the large lot. The staff recommendation was to accept the low bid from Double J Services LLC for $14,550 and to coordinate demolition schedules with public safety if they want to use the structures for training prior to removal. Staff emphasized an effort to retain mature trees where possible.
Councilmember (S3) moved to approve the low bid and the motion passed by voice vote after a second. There was no roll-call tally in the transcript. Staff will coordinate demolition logistics and any public-safety use of the structures prior to demolition.
