Legislation enacted in March by the city council to purchase the building from Sleiman Enterprises subsidiary Jacksonville Landing LLC, allotted $1.5 million to demolish the downtown riverfront shopping mall.
Friday's low-bidder, Pece of Mind, did not submit a list of licensed subcontractors as the city's official bid requirements state. According to bid information read by city Procurement Analyst Marylin Laidler, the other contractors all meet the city's base bid requirements.
No decisions were made Friday and Laidler said the bids are subject to further evaluation by the city.
City code gives officials 30 days before a full cost breakdown of the bids are released to the public; however, the city could come to a tentative decision sooner.
Two tenants remain at the Landing: BBVA Bank, which has yet to reach a lease buyout agreement with the city, and Hooters Restaurant, which has an Oct. 29 deadline to vacate.
City officials are considering a phased demotion so work can begin before the bank moves out.
