The demolition of the Knox Moose Lodge building will be re-bid.
Knox Mayor Dennis Estok told the Knox City Council at the end of April that the State recently released the funds for the project, but the contractor would not sign the contract due to a delay in a federal requirement of a SAM registration and SAM number and the late release of the funds for the project. The deadline to sign the contract was Tuesday, April 26.
The city was awarded almost $138,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant money through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs Blight Clearance Program to demolish the Knox Moose Lodge building on Main Street.
OCRA says the Moose Lodge demolition will also include the removal of about 6,900 square feet of asbestos-containing floor tile and 5,100 square feet of asbestos-containing tile adhesive.
