5. Demolition of Three Structures (1900 & 2010 W Broadway, 2324 Lyndale Ave N):
Accept low responsible bid of Carl Bolander and Sons Company, $62,600, for demolition & site clearance (Also in W&M/Budget).
So they're knocking down a few Northside buildings. I can't quite figure out which buildings they are from Google streetview, but it seems like a couple of apartment buildings?
Also of note, the attached description of "TMS Construction" and their failures.
