Levy Senior Center – Trash Enclosure

The City of Evanston is soliciting bids for demolition and replacement of the trash enclosure at Levy Senior Center, 300 Dodge Avenue, Evanston, Illinois, with proposals due October 13, 2026.

The scope comprises selective demolition of the existing wood screening, gates, posts, and associated hardware; retention and reuse of existing concrete post foundations and bases; installation of new steel posts and welded steel gate assemblies; construction of new reinforced concrete foundations at gate posts; and installation of a new aluminum screening system using Longboard Link & Lock aluminum battens with associated mounting hardware. The work includes gate hinges, tension rods, cane bolts, receiver sockets, locking hasp, gate stops, miscellaneous steel components and hardware, protective finishes, excavation, and restoration. All labor, materials, equipment, and incidental work necessary to deliver a complete and operational enclosure are included.

Existing utilities—including fiber-optic conduit, an existing generator, and associated equipment adjacent to the work site—must remain in service and be protected throughout construction. Contractors must maintain operational continuity of these systems while executing the enclosure replacement.
