Rationale: This is to award a capital fund contract for CIP10918 “Demolition of the Townhouses” at the William Boyce Thompson School to State Contracting Corp of New York under COY contract 2021-50513 “On-Call Building Demolition” for $122,875.20 for a term of 180 calendar days.

The “Boyce Thompson Townhouse Feasibility Study” by KG&D Architects dated December 18, 2018 reports that this building cannot be made suitable for any educational purpose. For it to be occupied as office space it will need to be brought to current State building code requirements at a rough cost of $3.3 million. This work would not be aid-able.

The City of Yonkers has presented plans to create a new sports field on its property directly to the south. This is also recommended in the BOE Educational Facilities Plan. The space freed up by the demolition can support this improvement as parking or other such uses. In the meantime, the site is to be graded with added topsoil, grass seed and mulch to establish lawn area.
