Monday night, the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety awarded the bid to demolish the Point Apartment Building at 309 Gibson Street. The award was contingent upon an additional appropriation.
Two weeks ago, Hunter Transit submitted a bid of $55,101.20 to the city, which includes the complete demolition of the structure, foundation, and parking lot, as well as removal. This is a complete removal of all hard surfaces. There was a stipulation that if asbestos testing is required, it would be an additional cost.
Board member Dave Morrow made a motion to award the demolition project to Hunter Transit, contingent upon the additional appropriation, and member Shiloh Milner seconded the motion. The Board of Works voted 5-0 to move forward.
During the Common Council meeting, Plymouth Building Commissioner Dennis Manuwal asked the council to consider an additional appropriation to fund the demolition of The Pointe. He told council members that he has just over $19,000 in the Unsafe Building Fund, meaning he will need approximately $36,000 in additional funds.
City Attorney Jeff Houin said the only thing for the council to do Monday night was to request that Clerk-Treasurer Lynn Gorski prepare an additional appropriation for their next meeting. The additional appropriation will necessitate a public hearing.
Councilman Don Ecker made a motion to approve the additional appropriation request of the Building Commissioner, and Councilman Duane Culp seconded his motion. The six council members attending the meeting approved the request.
