DeWitt approves $75,669 demolition contract for two city properties
Summary
The DeWitt City Council unanimously awarded a $75,669 demolition contract for 110 North Scott Street and 119 West Jefferson Street and authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign the contract; the council heard the low bids were lower than expected and the bidder had positive references.
The DeWitt City Council unanimously voted Nov. 12 to award a demolition contract for two city properties—110 North Scott Street and 119 West Jefferson Street—for $75,669 and authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign the agreement on the city’s behalf.
The decision followed a presentation from Adam Gerlach of engineering firm C2AE, who told the council the bidder had “only had positive references and experiences with this company.” City Administrator Daniel Coss told the council the bids came in lower than anticipated.
Councilmember VanDyke made the motion to award the contract and Councilmember Whitman seconded; the motion carried on a unanimous vote of councilmembers present. The minutes record the award as covering “Alternative A & F” for both properties; the contract signer was not named in the minutes and no project schedule was included.
Removing the structures is intended to address the specific properties named on the agenda. The council did not discuss funding sources, demolition timeline or a contractor name in the public minutes; those details were not specified.
