North Knox board takes demolition bids under advisement; three offers submitted
Summary
The North Knox board received three bids for demolition of an east facility and will review them; no contract was awarded. Transcript shows three bidders with differing totals and staff said they will compare bids before awarding.
The North Knox School Corporation board on March 11 received three bids for demolition work on the district's east facility and agreed to take the proposals under advisement rather than award a contract at the meeting.
Board members and staff listed three offers. The transcript shows a bid from a company transcribed as "Mullen Squad" with a listed total of $368,769 (the record also includes an inconsistent extra-zero rendering that appears to be a transcription error), a second bid transcribed as "Collins" at roughly $596,200 (the transcript records garbled trailing digits), and a third from a firm transcribed as "Robinson Escav" at $319,898. District staff said they would compare submissions to ensure an "apples-to-apples" evaluation before notifying bidders.
No award or formal contract approval was made. The board took the bids "under advisement," directing staff to review completeness, confirm included scopes (permits, utility handling, site cleanup) and return with a recommendation. A board member said Dr. Bob will review the bids and follow up with the companies.
The board did not record a roll-call vote count in the transcript for this item; motions to receive the bids carried by voice vote. Because several bid totals and bidder names appear garbled in the transcript, the district's procurement file should be consulted for the definitive vendor names, bid amounts and scope details.
Next steps: staff review of bids and a recommendation to the board at a later date; no construction activity was authorized during this meeting.
