Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Streets, Bridges & Harbor (SB&H) is partnered with the Lucas County Land Bank to perform housing demolition within the City of Toledo. During the summer, when demolition is most active, both in-house excavators went out-of-service with extensive repairs needed. While bids and contracts took place, it became necessary to rent an excavator to continue on schedule with the Land Bank program and to have in the event crews were required to assist with emergency fire demolitions. Ohio CAT, located in Perrysburg, was the only supplier of an excavator equipped for demolition operations when acquiring rental pricing. Currently, the Division has both excavators back in service and a new smaller excavator has been purchased.
