The Uniontown Redevelopment Authority opened four bids ranging from just less than $12,000 to $34,000 for demolishing three condemned houses in Uniontown. The apparent low bid was $11,998 from B & G Trucking of Uniontown.

The authority board will consider awarding a contract for the work at its Sept. 14 meeting.

Other bids were $14,300 from Ritenour Construction of Connellsville, $20,300 from Hopwood Enterprises Inc. and $34,000 from Franty and Sons of Uniontown.

The bids were opened Tuesday.

Authority executive director Mark Yauger said the three houses, which are blighted and have been condemned, are located at 102 Lenox St., 114 Millview St. and 39 Prospect St.

The authority is using money from a Neighborhood Stabilization Grant to pay for the demolitions, he said.
