They noted an error in their emergency quote, omitting two <br />(2) separate allowances of $5,000 each. They claim their quote should have been $42,000. A <br />copy of the original quote request is attached, showing the requirement of the two allowances <br />for utility shutoffs and asbestos remediation. <br />Neighborhood Services & Enforcement originally solicited emergency demolition quotes from <br />the following contractors: <br />x Jackson Demolition: $32,000 <br />x Ritschard Bros.: $33,620 <br />x Green Demolition: No Quote <br />x Indiana Earth: No Quote <br />Ritschard Bros. has agreed to honor their price and move forward with this emergency work. <br />I recommend the Board rescind its emergency contract with Jackson Demolition.
