AWARD OF BIDS FOR THE SITE DEMOLITION OF THE UNION 76 AND THE
MODEEN-HENDRICKSON BUILDING: Gerhardt presented the bids
received for the demolition of the Union 76 gas station and the
Modeen-Hendrickson building. The bids received were as follows:
1. Diamond 5 Wrecking, Inc.
2. B & D Underground Construction
3. Widmer, Inc.
4. Rieck Excavating
$10,500.00
12,050.00
14,177.00
23,050.00
Gerhardt further explained that staff had received several phone
calls from Mr. Hanson regarding the demolition of the
Modeen-Hendrickson building and the security of his property due
to the impact of this work and requested time on the agenda to
express his concerns. Staff then introduced Mr. Hanson.
Mr. Hanson addressed the HRA requesting to delay demolition of
the Modeen-Hendrickson building until the spring of 1990. Mr.
Hanson's request was based on the security of his property and
the use of the building for storage until the spring of 1990.
Gerhardt further explained staff's concern regarding Mr. Hanson's
request as it would delay the north side parking lot improvements
and impact our current agreement with the medical arts group in
providing a specified number of paved parking stalls and access to
their property.
The HRA directed staff to work very closely with Mr. Hanson in
finding additional storage space in Chanhassen to meet his needs
and modified the working drawings to construct a fence that
would make Mr. Hanson's property as secure as possible.
Motion by Robbins, seconded by Bohn that the HRA award the demo-
lition of the Modeen-Hendirckson and Automotive Unlimited gas
station to Diamond 5 Wrecking, Inc. in the amount of $10,500 and
the condition that work will not start any sooner than October 1,
1989 and that Mr. Hanson may use Modeen-Hendrickson's building
for temporary storage until that date.
