Initial feedback on the AT&T Danville contract suggest a wide bid spread….again.
Demolition News understands that Danville city officials have now opened the bids from some nine contractors, all eager to land the contract to demolish the AT&T building. And, as we suggested yesterday, the bid list shown exclusively to us highlights yet another broad bid spread.
The handwritten document clearly shows that there were nine bidders vying for the contract and that Brandenburg looks to be the high bidder at $253,000. The bids then range right down to just $111,000 and $128,000 from two as yet unnamed contractors.
It is, of course, possible that these initial bids will require clarification as the days go on. But, based on recent experience, it would come as no surprise if the contract were let for half the value put on it by the highest bidder.
