Brandenburg is low bidder but Bierlein gets the contract.
The city of Parchment and River Reach Partners LLC, which is planning to redevelop a vacant paper-mill property in the city, are hoping for state approval of the company they have chosen for the first round of demolition of mill buildings.
Bierlein Companies Inc., of Midland, among the largest demolition companies in the United States, is the choice of the city and developer from five bidders who sought the long-anticipated city project. Bierlein’s bid of $1,345,000 to take down Mill No. 1 along Riverview Drive between First Community Federal Credit Union to the south and Island Avenue to the north was the second-lowest of the five bids.
Brandenburg Industrial Service Co., of Chicago, came in with a lower bid, but the city and developer gave their support to Bierlein because it is a Michigan company and for the way it addressed such things as pricing of individual components of the project.
