Board awards salvage-materials disposal contract to Dyer Construction
Summary
The Hammond Board of Public Works and Safety approved awarding disposal of long-stored salvage building materials at the sanitary district to Dyer Construction, the low responsive bidder at $10,700, after staff said the property must be vacated by June 26.
The Hammond Board of Public Works and Safety approved awarding the disposal of salvage building materials stored at the sanitary district to Dyer Construction, which submitted the low bid of $10,700. Grimmer Construction had submitted a competing bid of $56,000.
Staff member (speaker 3) told the board the materials have been stored ‘‘for probably at least 16 years’’ and that the sanitary district is subdividing and selling part of the property, meaning the city must vacate the site by June 26. ‘‘I would ask that we do that now so that we can keep this project moving along,’’ the staff member said, recommending Dyer as the low, responsive quoter. Committee member (speaker 2) recommended approval, and the Chair concurred.
The board treated the award as a routine procurement decision and moved forward so contractors can remove stored materials before the property sale. No dollar reallocation or separate funding authorization was recorded during the discussion.
The board did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript beyond the motion and concurrence statements.
