BY: Mr. Levinson
IN RE: DEMOLITION OF DOWNTOWN COURTHOUSE
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
At the February 16, 1962 meeting of the Board, Miscellaneous Resolution 3915
was adopted which authorized the Ways and Means and Buildings and Grounds Committees,
in conjunction with the Board of Auditors, to advertise and receive bids for removal of
existing structures on the downtown Courthouse site.
Pursuant to this resolution, specifications for demolition of the abandoned Courthouse
and Annex buildings located on County property in the City of Pontiac on Huron Street
between North Saginaw and Wayne Streets were prepared by the County Engineer. Sealed
bids were received by the two Committees and the Board of Auditors on April 11, 1962
at 2:30 p.m.
A total of 9 bidders presented proposals for the demolition of the buildings. The
bids ranged from the lowest bid submitted by Ka Ike Company of $33,700 to a high bid
submitted by Beaver Company of $128,300. Attached to this report is a summary of all
bids received as prepared by the County Engineer.
The joint Committees found that the bid submitted by KaIka Company could not
be considered since it was submitted late and no bid bond, as required by the specifications,
was filed with the proposal.
At a joint meeting of the Committees on April 12, a resolution was adopted
recommending to the Board the rejection of all bids and that the Board of Auditors be
authorized to return the bid bonds and checks to all bidders. The resolution of the
Committees further recommends that the Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Board
of Auditors make a study as to what steps may be taken by the County to remove these
buildings from the abandoned Courthouse site.
