Key Colony Beach awards $22,500 demolition contract to King’s Enterprises
Summary
The Key Colony Beach City Commission unanimously approved a $22,500 contract with King’s Enterprises for additional demolition and debris removal after reviewing a lower bid from Century Construction and confirming references and contractor capacity.
At its Nov. 1 special meeting, the Key Colony Beach City Commission voted unanimously to award an additional demolition and debris removal contract to King’s Enterprises for $22,500.
The Commission reviewed two written proposals: King’s Enterprises at $22,500 and Century Construction at $19,520. Mayor Joey Raspe noted that Century’s proposal included an additional $5,000 allowance to preserve wood, and the minutes state this produced a $500 overall difference between the bidders; the transcript’s arithmetic on that point is inconsistent and the exact adjusted totals for Century Construction were not specified in the record.
Building Official Tony Loreno told commissioners he had checked references and that King’s Enterprises had municipal experience and the manpower to perform demolition while preparing the pin‑pile work. Vice‑Mayor Freddie Foster recommended accepting the lower‑net‑cost option after vetting, and Commissioner Tom DiFransico seconded the motion; the roll‑call vote was unanimous.
Commissioners asked staff to monitor the contractor closely during the project. During public comment, resident Chet Dunn praised King’s Enterprises for prior work at his home.
Next steps: Building staff will execute the contract with King’s Enterprises and oversee demolition and debris removal consistent with the approved scope.
