Company Recommended For $378K Foxconn Demolition Project

MOUNT PLEASANT, WI — Mount Pleasant officials at the committee level voted Friday to recommend Wisconsin-based Guelig Waste Removal And Demolition with two contracts to conduct the first demolition work tied to Foxconn’s $10 billion, 22-million-square-foot manufacturing campus.

The Village Board will consider the recommendation at its meeting on June 4.

“We were pleased to see the positive response from Wisconsin companies for the Village’s first Foxconn-related construction contracts,” said Claude Lois, Project Director for the Village of Mount Pleasant in a prepared statement. “In keeping with our Wisconsin First commitment, the recommended team is led by a Wisconsin-based company and includes four additional subcontractors, all based in Wisconsin, with two from Racine County.”

Guelig Waste Removal, based in Eden, Wisconsin, was the lowest bidder for both Bid Package A and Bid Package B. In total, the two bid packages amount to $378,300. All 20 bids received by the Village were from Wisconsin companies.

This initial demolition will focus on properties along Braun Road. The work will include razing and removing all structures, out buildings, flatwork, driveway aprons, fill, filling all basements, crawl spaces and excavated areas with approved granular material, landscape restoration, traffic control as needed, and erosion control.

The bid award involves demolition of 12 parcels related to Braun Road North in the Village of Mount Pleasant and 11 parcels related to Braun Road south, officials said.
