Title
Demolition of Residential Structures at 14403 Irving Avenue - Proposal
History
Because of the topography of the surrounding area, the residential structures at 14403 Irving Avenue experienced a long history of flooding during heavy rain events. After an extensive engineering review of storm water management alternatives in the immediate area, the village's engineer along with staff, concluded and recommended that the purchase and demolition of the property is the most cost effective storm water mitigation strategy for the area.
On January 4, 2016, the Village Board authorized the purchase of the property at 14403 Irving Avenue. The next step of this process is the demolition of the structures (residential structure and garage). Once the demolition of the structure is complete, the property will be used as a depressional stormwater storage area. The engineering and design for the stormwater storage phase of the property will be brought to committee at a later date.
To initiate the demolition process, staff solicited competitive demolition proposals from four (4) companies. Proposals were submitted by Airy’s Inc. of Tinley Park, IL at $12,854.00; Bechstein Construction Corp. of Tinley Park, IL at $8,900.00; Delta Demolition, Inc. of Chicago, IL at $13,700.00; and Redmond Excavating & Construction Services, Inc. of Homer Glen, IL at $9,000.00. With the lowest proposal having been received from Bechstein Construction Corp. of Tinley Park, IL, for $8,900.00. Staff recommends that Bechstein Construction be used to complete demolition work.
On August 15, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
