Sedalia Council Approves Demolition Bid for 604 West Main
On Monday night, the Sedalia City Council approved an ordinance authorizing the demolition of structures located at 604 West Main.
Eight bids were received, ranging in price from $87,195 to $249,000. Once the bids were opened Feb. 22, it was determined that the lowest bid came from Earthworks Excavation and Associates, LLC, Higginsville.
$2,415 of that price involves asbestos removal (and disposal) from the old buildings at Main and Missouri that once housed a brewery. The buildings are currently barricaded.
The asbestos abatement will be performed by Gehm Environmental, which is the same company that conducted an asbestos inspection prior to the City bidding out the project, it was noted.
