Re: RFB 25-07 North City School Demolition 
 
The bids for the demolition of North City School were opened on April 29, 2025. The bid 
process attracted ten bidders. After thorough evaluation, seven (7)  bidders were eliminated 
due to timing errors, omissions, and failure to submit requisite documents. The city attorney, 
Christopher M. Caldwell, reviewed the Bid Instructions & Addendums and confirmed the 
elimination of the following companies: 
 
Attorney's Response: 
"After further review of the Bid Instructions & Addendums on North City School, including 
review of several bid packets reflecting timing errors, omissions and the like from several 
contractors, I agree that the following companies/contractors missed the bid deadline, or 
failed to submit requisite docs and should be eliminated from consideration: 
1. EAI, Inc 
2. 5 Star, LLC 
3. TOA, LLC 
4. Dore & Assoc 
5. John Paul Greene 
6. Freedom Rolloffs LLC 
Thanks, 
Chris 
Christopher M. Caldwell – Managing Partner" 
 
I eliminated one more contractor after seeking Ch ris’ advice, Ritter & Paratore Contracting , 
Inc, as they were missing their disposal plan. 
 
Based on the evaluation, I recommend awarding the contract to E. Luke Greene Company, Inc 
for a bid amount of $298,970. Additionally, I propose accepting the alternate bid of $28,000 
for the demolition of the tennis courts, basketball court, concrete slab between the basketball 
court and baseball fence, and the removal of the fence at the backside of the property. 
 
The Bid Tabulation is attached for review.
