Board authorizes soliciting bids for demolition at 1515 S. Main Street
Summary
The Village will solicit bids to demolish the house, trees and related items at 1515 S. Main Street after Attorney Roland Cross advised the cost may exceed statutory thresholds requiring formal bidding.
The Village Board authorized staff to solicit bids for demolition work at 1515 S. Main Street after Attorney Roland Cross told trustees that the projected cost may exceed statutory limits for informal contracts.
Trustee Steve Retzer moved to seek bids and Trustee Paula Belobrajdic-Stewart seconded; roll call approved the request unanimously. Attorney Cross indicated the earlier board approval to demolish the property remains but that the Village must follow competitive bidding procedures if the cost is above the statutory threshold. Trustee Retzer asked whether in-house labor could be used; Attorney Cross said he was not sure and staff must check statutory constraints.
The board did not specify a budget amount at the meeting; soliciting bids will provide cost estimates and determine whether the work requires a formal contract process.
