The East Williston Village Board of Trustees approved the demolition of the controversial 8 Sumter Avenue property on Wednesday Oct. 16, awarding the contract to J. Galvin Construction Incorporated for $28,500.

Should the board not receive a confirmation in writing that certain miscellaneous items, which a list has been devised, will be included in the demolition, a contract will be awarded to Amport Design and Construction for $61,653. Both companies submitted bids for the job last month.

Referring to the $33,153 difference in the two bids, Mayor David Tanner said that subsequent to conversations and clarifications, they seem to be comparable in terms of the scope of work provided. A provision on part of the bid by J

Galvin Construction is that if hazardous materials are found on the site, extra costs may be incurred.

Village Attorney Jeffrey Blinkoff also to the approved resolution that any money that is currently owed on the property that has not been recouped be transferred to the tax rolls, any further costs related to demolition be sent to the property owner, John Muzio, and upon their failure to pay, that money will be transferred to the tax rolls.
