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.
