Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with S.G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. for Phase I, demolition of the existing pulverizer building, 2100 Alum Creek Drive.
The project shall include the demolition of existing trash pulverizer building, scale house and scale, existing utilities, and establishment of some turf areas.
Trash pulverizing technology became obsolete and was discontinued at this facility in 1995. The pulverizer building is an eyesore and is impervious to precipitation which contributes to storm water pollution. Deep trenches are under the building and the scales fill with water at times. Standing water creates the potential for mosquito breeding. The water must periodically be pumped out of these deep trenches and treated through the City of Columbus sanitary water system or hauled away for proper disposal as a hazardous waste.
The demolition of the pulverizing building, scale house and scales is a necessary step to mitigate these environmental issues. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has been monitoring our storm water protection practices at 2100 Alum Creek and they have been encouraging us to take steps to correct our surface water runoff pollution.
Formal bids were solicited and four companies submitted bid on January 10, 2012 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
S.G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. $ 469,000.00
