[font=Verdana]The city of [/font][font=Verdana]Omaha[/font][font=Verdana] has accepted a bid to demolish a condemned north [/font][font=Verdana]Omaha[/font][font=Verdana] apartment complex. [/font]

[font=Verdana]A number of metro-area contractors bid on the demolition contract for the [/font][font=Verdana]Wintergreen[/font][font=Verdana]Park[/font][font=Verdana] apartment complex near 51st and Curtis streets. City officials said Andersen Excavating won with a bid of just over $490,000. That's about $500,000 less than the next lowest bid, and $100,000 less than what the city expected to pay. [/font]

[font=Verdana]The process now moves to the City Council, which votes April 25 on whether to award a demolition contract to Andersen. If the council gives the green light, Andersen could begin demolition work as early as next month. [/font]

[font=Verdana]The Wintergreen apartments were condemned last summer due to building code violations[/font]
