WRSAW — Demolition of the old Jomac Products building along East Winona Avenue in Warsaw is closer to happening.
Five bids for the demolition of the Jomac Products buildings and two bids for asbestos abatement were opened Friday at the Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety meeting, according to a story by the Times-Union.
The property is owned by Fellowship Missions, which has lined up a $500,000 grant through the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) for the demolition and removal of asbestos.
Demolition bids ranged from $512,175 by a South Bend contractor to a low bid of $322,896 by G&G Hauling & Excavating, Warsaw.
Bids for asbestos removal ranged from $171,601 to $45,200.
No decisions on the selection of the bids were made on Friday.
Fellowship Missions plans to eventually construct a new shelter on the property. Once the new shelter is built, the old one will be demolished and turned into a parking lot
Also, during the board of works meeting, Public Works Superintendent Dustin Dillon requested permission from the board to solicit sealed bids for milling and resurfacing of roadways in the downtown Warsaw district, which was granted.
The roads include Lake, Main, Center, and Fort Wayne streets, according to a separate story by the Times-Union.
If possible, Dillon said he hopes to accomplish the work this year.
