COLUMBUS JUNCTION The low bid for a previously approved asbestos abatement project for the Columbus School District’s secondary building campus will mean nearly $17,600 in savings, the school board learned Monday.
District business manager Neil Mills said Shive-Hattery Associates, Cedar Rapids, which is serving as the engineering consultant for the project, had reported receiving four bids for the summer project.
Iowa-Illinois Taylor Insulation, Inc, Davenport, had submitted a low bid of $37,403. The construction budget had been set at $55,000 and approved in May by the board.
According to Shive-Hattery’s bid tabulation, asbestos will be abated from pipe fittings and insulation, wall gaskets, floor tile and mastic. New pipe insulation also will be installed.

COLUMBUS JUNCTION A Burlington consulting firm has been given the job of seeking bids for several proposed Columbus School District building infrastructure improvement projects, after submitting a proposal cutting the estimates submitted earlier by another consulting firm by nearly $200,000.
The school board agreed during its regular monthly meeting Monday to accept the proposal from Klingner and Associates, after comparing the estimates in that package to estimates provided last month by Shive-Hattery Associates, Cedar Rapids.
At last month’s meeting, the board tentatively agreed to direct Shive-Hattery to seek bids for replacing a chiller at the Roundy Elementary building and for cooling and dehumidifying the middle school gym and the auditorium.
