IOWA CITY Despite the rising cost of construction projects, plans to demolish Iowa Citys now-closed north Wastewater Treatment Plant managed to come in several million dollars below the original estimate.
On Tuesday, the Iowa City Council will vote on awarding a contract for the wastewater plant demolition project to Minnesota-based Veit & Company, Inc.
Veit & Companys roughly $2.05 million bid for the project is less than half the $5.5 million estimate for the project, which was drafted by a private engineering firm.
Veit & Companys bid was the lowest of five received, with the highest still roughly $300,000 below the estimate.
Were very pleased they came in where they did, Ben Clark, Iowa City senior civil engineer, said of the bids.
That said, Clark noted that while bids for construction projects tend to come in at or higher than estimates these days due to a high demand for contractors, demolition projects are often a wild card.
With demolition its a little bit hard to estimate, Clark said.
Factors in pricing depend on which company bids specialty contractors tend to bid lower and the manner in which demolition will take place moving and disposing materials comes with an added cost.
For the wastewater project, Veit & Company, which specializes in waste management, will use much of the crushed materials created in the demolition process as backfill for the land.
Well minimize hauling, we wont haul any more material to the site, Clark said, adding that recycling and salvaging materials will be key.

Iowa City wastewater plant demolition bids much lower than expected
LOCKPORT The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency resumed work this week on the demolition of the former Flintkote plant on Mill Street in Lockport.
The plant, which was partially torn down last fall, is believed to be one of the primary sources of pollution in Eighteen Mile Creek, which flows from Lockport to Lake Ontario.
The entire creek corridor has been declared a federal Superfund site. The EPA last fall bought five homes on Water Street in Lockport, whose back yards bordered the creek, and the residents were relocated.
EPA spokesman Michael Basile said the boarded-up houses will be torn down this year, and a chain-link fence will encircle the site.
Basile said the location of the former Water Street homes may be used as a staging area for future cleanup work.
Meanwhile, the demolition of Flintkote is targeted to be complete by the end of May, Basile said.
The hope is that we will have the walls down. There may still be debris piles (in late May), he said.
Mayor Anne E. McCaffrey said the demolition will be followed by more soil testing at the site.
Basile said subsequent work will depend on what we find and dont find after the Flintkote building is gone.
The former building materials plant was abandoned after a 1971 fire. The City of Lockport could have foreclosed on it for many years because of unpaid property taxes, but declined to do so because it feared being stuck with the cleanup bill.

EPA resumes demolition work at Flintkote plant
It may not be evident from the outside, but work to demolish the former Souderton Area High School has already begun.
As of now, we are pretty well completed with the first step, which is removal of asbestos, Tim Hendricks, of American Real Estate, said March 30.
Work to disconnect public utilities is also in process, he said.
Within 10 days to two weeks, physical demolition of the building should be under way, Hendricks said. Were looking at three months from start of demolition to completion.
Work has also begun to remove items such as lighting fixtures and light bulbs that must be removed before the demolition, he said.
Permission was given for the removal of sentimental items that had remained in the building, he said.
Items of value to be reused were previously removed, he said.
Whats left is of no consequential value, so that becomes part of the demolition trash, Hendricks said.
Souderton Borough Manager Mike Coll said he met March 18 with representatives of Trego Excavating, of Lionville, the company doing the excavation work.
The demolition area will be fenced off and there will be other requirements for the work, including that there be tire cleaning areas so trucks leaving the site do not track dirt out onto the roads, he said. Continued...

Demolition of former Souderton Area High School expected to start in April

Axon Xylophone Bridge From Ballston Metro Center (901 N. Stuart St.) to Stafford Place I (4201 Wilson Blvd.), east of Welburn Square. Installation open through fall 2015.
When commuters traverse this skywalk, many are unwittingly participating in a whimsical installation. Multicolored LEDs along the ceiling are triggered by passing pedestrians, creating an illuminated trail as 48 sound effects sporadically play. "There are some people who are more alert than others," says Alex Braden, a member of zerozero, the artistic collective that created the piece. "Some will stop in the middle of the bridge and look up like, What's going on?"
Ballston CrossFit 1110 N. Glebe Rd.
Come for fitness, stay for love? "We just had a couple get engaged who met here," says owner and head coach Tucker Jones, right. Since opening in February 2012, the 5,600-square- foot space has become a haven for the 20- to 30-something work-hard, play-hard demographic. At first glance, the setting may come off macho -- walls painted in reds and blacks, barbells and kettle bells along the floor -- but Jones estimates that 55 percent of the club's 275 members are women.
Willow 4301 N. Fairfax Dr.
Talk about good karma: At the eatery's opening-night party, chef and co-owner Tracy O'Grady exchanged vows with husband Brian Wolken in the lobby. A decade later, the spot -- owned by Grady, Wolken and pastry chef Kate Jansen -- is a reliable destination for inventive and locally sourced seasonal fare riffing on French and Italian. A spacious dining room offers a white-table-clothed option for those seeking an oomph of elegance, while Nosh, the restaurant's lounge area, has an intimate bistro vibe.
Big Buns 4401 Wilson Blvd.
A floor mat before a register boasts, "Our burger can BEAT UP your burger." Another proclaims, "I like BIG BUNS and I cannot lie." They're indicative of the playful tone of the casual joint owner Tom Racosky debuted in 2007. While burgers are the bulk of the biz, customers can opt for other proteins (turkey burgers, crab cakes) on a bun or over a salad.

There's nothing like a gorgeous new electric light fixture installation to power up your home decor. Whether mounted on a wall or the ceiling, statement lighting gives a fabulous focus to any room of the house. While replacement of all the light fixtures in your home could end up costing a pretty penny, there's a more frugal and creative way to get the look you love. Use your creativity to glue, paint, or assemble DIY light fixtures -- it's easy and inexpensive! Just look at all this inspiration from bloggers on Hometalk.
Unique Wood Shim Bathroom Mirror Light
Would you believe that this oh-so-individual mirror light was a cliched Hollywood fixture in a former life? The aging star got a new lease on life from Shelly at Life on Sale, with the help of simple wood shims cut to equal lengths. Cost of the facelift, part of a budget bathroom makeover, came to a mere $7.00.
Beautifully Un-Boring Stained Glass Light Shade
Just about every home has a standard square white glass light shade or two hanging around somewhere. Borrring! But Diane C is an artist at heart, and she worked decorating magic with stained glass paint to rev up a more colorful and polished look. The dazzling difference is incredible!
Fun and Flowery Coffee Filter Light Fixture
This frilly, flowery fixture is actually a plain Jane paper lampshade, upgraded on the cheap. How? Well, blogger Stephanie of twozeroone tried the classic rolled-up coffee filter trick to create dozens of "blossoms." Using a little bit of glue plus a lot of patience, she created a striking overhead light for her entryway.
Classy Patterned Beauty for the Foyer
Brass foyer lights used to be the latest thing but now they're so last century. Rather than send it off to the landfill, Brittany aka Pretty Handy Girl brought this light fixture into the 2000s in a two-step process. She toned down the brassiness with bronze spray paint and applied a silkscreened Moorish stencil pattern to the glass.

Forget the must-have wine cellar, hot-tub or 1,700 Italian coffee-maker the latest domestic fashion is for private home cinemas.
Many of the super-rich are having them built complete with huge comfy seats and cup-holders, eardrum-blasting surround-sound systems, massive screens and even cocktail bars and popcorn-makers.
Celebrities with a home cinema include the Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch, retail tycoon Sir Philip Green and Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich.
And this week we learnt that the Beckhams want one, too.
