This is from the JPD Meeting Minutes from July 25, 2011: (As you can see, Mr Egizio said it, so it was so. The only question to decide was which company got the contract. One commenter on this Page has suggested that given the iron content of the bridge, the contractors should have paid the Park District to get it out. We dont know the validity of this idea.) Regular Meeting July 25, 2011 3. Quotes a. 2011 Bridge Repairs - Pilcher Park Mr. Egizio said the bridge across Hickory Creek is unsafe so it was closed and has become an eyesore. Two quotes were received, one in the amount of $12,360.00 from Lindblad Construction and one from Gould Excavating in the amount of $13,298.00. Lindblad Construction also offered a quote of $15,680.00 to demolish the building. We have the option of doing nothing but there are serious safety issues. A motion was made by Commissioner Albritton, seconded by Commissioner Marcum to accept the quote from Lindblad Construction in the amount of $28,040.00. The motion carried as follows: Ayes: All in favor Nays: None
