Steger board votes to solicit bids to demolish Parkview School
Summary
The Steger School District 194 board unanimously approved a motion to solicit demolition bids for Parkview School, authorizing staff to begin the procurement process under regular bidding rules. The motion passed 5-0 on April 17.
The Steger School District 194 Board of Education on April 17 voted unanimously to authorize solicitation of bids for the demolition of Parkview School. The motion was moved by Jose "Jo-Pep" Najar and seconded by Nicholas Hutchison; the roll call vote was recorded as Yes by Michele Helsel, Jill Raymond, Beth Butkus, Nicholas Hutchison and Jose "Jo-Pep" Najar, and the motion carried 5-0.
Board discussion placed the demolition solicitation on the agenda as part of finance and operations updates presented by Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Eric Diehl, who had earlier outlined facility needs and potential proposals for parking-lot and rear-building cleanups. The board did not record an amended scope or a contract award; the vote authorized the district to solicit bids, not to accept a demolition contract at this meeting.
The motion establishes the procurement step only; additional board action will be required to award any contract after bid receipt and review. Timing for bid opening and any follow-up approvals were not specified in the minutes.
