DATE: August 26, 2019
SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to enter into an agreement with H. Linden & Sons Sewer and Water, Inc., 722 E. South Street, Unit D, Plano, IL 60545 in the amount of $189,000 for Demolition of Fox Valley Inn.
PURPOSE:
To enter into an agreement to demolish the Fox Valley Inn, located at 2450 N. Farnsworth Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
The City recently purchased the Fox Valley Inn and Motel 6 properties on N Farnsworth Avenue with the intention of demolishing the buildings. In anticipation of the demolition, the City recently obtained bids and is concurrently awarding contracts to remove asbestos containing materials from both buildings. Once these materials are removed, the buildings will be demolished individually as detailed in a recent request for bids.

This bid was subject to Local Preference but was not an impact on the decision.
The agreement for Demolition of Fox Valley Inn (part of Capital Project J010) will be funded using account 237-1830-465.36-25. The combined cost of demolition of the Fox Valley Inn ($189,000) and Motel 6 ($125,075) is $314,075. Barring the incurrence of substantial unforeseen additional expenses during demolition, the total overall cost in 2019 of Capital Project J010 (which includes $176,350 in asbestos abatement, $314,075 in demolition, and a few other small preparatory tasks at the two motels) should be just under $500,000, which is well within the budgeted amount of $950,000.
