Board approves $822,731 contract to demolish Forest Hills Elementary
Summary
The Lake Oswego School District contract review board authorized a $822,731 lump‑sum contract for demolition and abatement at Forest Hills Elementary, with staff describing a mid‑to‑late June mobilization and plans to salvage gym flooring, sculptures and engraved bricks for reuse.
The Lake Oswego School District contract review board on a voice vote authorized a lump‑sum contract in the amount of $822,731 for demolition and abatement work at Forest Hills Elementary.
A district presenter outlined the procurement: five bids were received and the lowest responsive bidder was identified in the board packet. "The total amount, lump sum, dollars 822,731," the presenter said, and said mobilization would begin in mid to late June with the majority of demolition occurring over the summer because of abatement work. A board member moved to authorize the clerk to execute the contract and the motion carried after the chair called for the ayes.
Board members asked about salvaging materials. The presenter said the district will remove electronics for reuse in other schools, salvage a large portion of the gym floor for repurposing as an art feature, recover sculpture pieces for a new reflection garden and try to return engraved bricks to their original purchasers. The presenter also said the contractor is contractually responsible for sorting removed material and disposing of or reselling items "responsibly." The transcript contains inconsistent spellings of the contractor name (appearing as both "Growth Brothers Inc" and "Groot Brothers Inc"); the motion recorded the contractor name as presented at the time of action.
