Council Awards Bids for Demo and Asbestos Abatement of Cook Ford Building

The Sheridan City Council at their meeting Monday night,  considered the bid awards for demolition and asbestos abatement for a building at 103 North Gould Street. The City purchased the property at 103 North Gould in 2018, which included the Cook Ford building. In 2019, the building was evaluated for structural integrity and on February 7, 2022, the City Council approved a resolution establishing a committee to evaluate potential use of the structure. Since that time, it has been determined that the building should be demolished and the area be paved to provide additional parking for downtown businesses. City Public Works Director Hanns Mercer talks about the building’s deficiencies.

The City Council awarded the bid for the demolition and cleanup project of the building to WLM Excavating in the amount of $86,200. The Council also awarded the bid for asbestos abatement of the building to Montana Mold Services, LLC, in the amount of $53,825.
