Board conditionally accepts low bid for North Knox East demolition pending contract
Summary
The North Knox School Corp board voted to accept the lowest demolition bid for North Knox East — Robinson's at $319,898 — contingent on a final contract and bidder signature; the district's attorney is preparing detailed contract terms including asbestos and footer removal requirements.
The North Knox School Corporation board voted to accept the lowest bid to demolish North Knox East, approving a conditional award to Robinson's for $319,898 pending completion and signature on a district contract.
At the meeting the board heard three bids: Karns at $596,200.11 (as read in the packet), Robinson's at $319,898 and Mullins at $368,769. A district staff member said the attorney is drafting a contract that will specify obligations including removal of footers, required weight tickets, hours of work and asbestos filing requirements and advised bidders to have legal counsel review the agreement before signing. The staff member said the contract is not yet complete and presented two options: approve tonight with conditional signature by the bidder once the contract is finished, or wait and approve at the next meeting after a bidder accepts the finalized contract.
The board moved to accept the lowest bidder pending contract completion and bidder acceptance; the motion passed by voice vote. The staff member noted that if the lowest bidder refuses, the district would offer the contract to the next-lowest bidder. No further amendments or alternative motions were recorded.
The district did not provide a detailed timeline for demolition beyond noting that timelines might shift depending on contract completion and bidder acceptance. The board did not record a roll-call vote that listed individual members; the motion passed by voice vote.
