City will demolish concrete bleachers at South Side football field

YOUNGSTOWN

A Cleveland company submitted the apparent low proposal to demolish the dilapidated concrete bleachers at the South High Fieldhouse football field, the location of a murder during a youth football game.

Three companies turned in proposals for the work that were opened Monday by the city. B&B Wrecking & Excavating of Cleveland has the lowest offer of $97,000. The city’s estimate for the work was $150,000.

The board of control is expected to award the contract to B&B in the next few weeks with the demolition work taking about 60 days to finish, said Kedar Bhide, construction engineer at the city’s public works department.
