Council approves Roundhouse Mill demolition contract with LCP Group, caps project at about $2.04M

The Common Council repealed an earlier resolution and authorized award of a contract to LCP Group Incorporated for demolition services at Roundhouse Mill, 41 Elm Street, subject to execution of an acceptable agreement, insurance and compliance with the project scope. The clerk read the resolution and said project expenditures combined with an air‑monitoring contract shall not exceed $2,042,000, with grant reimbursements to be deposited into the project account.

Council members asked about minority-prime status, anticipated contractor mobilization timing and whether project cash-flow is anticipated to be an issue; staff said the project is identified as a capital account and that grant reimbursement and owner matching should cover costs without cash-flow problems. Officials said they expect the contractor to be mobilized by the end of the month.
