The hits just keep on coming or in this case, bids, and lots of them with local authorities attempting to clean up their communities. Another round was announced by the Harrison County Commissioners last week with Commissioner Dustin Corder spending nearly 15 minutes reading several groups of bids beginning with two structures on Jewett-Germano Road in German Township.
For demolition work only, Stull Excavating came in with the lowest bid with an overall sum of $19,350. Dig It Man Excavating was next with a close $20,000. Kovarik Excavating was third at $21,700 and finally Raze International at a distance of $124,089. Only Raze bid on asbestos removal, which inflated their total bid amount. $63,754 was bid for the structure at 90740 Jewett-Germano Road and another $19,790 for asbestos removal at 90870 of the same road. Without the asbestos amount Raze was still significantly higher at $71,568.
For the three structures on East and West College streets, Stull was again low bid at a total amount of $17,895 with Dig It Man next at $19,000 and Kovarik at $20,050. Raze was again significantly higher at $47,296 for demo work only. They also were the only company to bid on asbestos removal with a total amount of $48,198 for a grand total of $91,600.
The competition for the two Cadiz and one Jewett structure remained close with Kovarik submitting the low bid at $23,150 followed by Dig It Man at $24,000 and Stull at $24,650. Raze submitted a distant $58,660 without asbestos removal but with its removal, their bid was $95,046 for a total of $122,964.
The two Hopedale structures were led by Dig It Man with a low bid of $10,000 on the nose and Stull coming in a close second at $10,365 followed by Kovarik at $12,100. Raze was again the high bid at $24,912 for demo only. The asbestos removal bid came with a total of $18,540
The board immediately voted to table all bids for further review.
