Lewes opens bids for police office expansion,
PBM Construction Company of
Swedesboro, NJ, appears to be the
low bidder for a proposed expan-
sion of city hall in Lewes to ac-
commodate larger police depart-
ment facilities.
Seven bids for the long-consid-
ered project were opened follow-
ing a 3 p.m, deadline on Thursday,
Jan. 9.
The bidding includes a base
project as well as eight alternate
items including a basement, a con-
crete foundation wall, a new exit
from council chambers, painting
the entire exterior of city hall, re-
moving an in-ground fuel tank
and installing a new one, paving
of the parking area, and a steel or
cast iron heating boiler.
PBM's bid of $428,000 was the
lowest of the base bids. Lewes
council will consider the .base bids
and alternate bids and decide to go
with any of the alternates - or the
project at all - at the Monday, Jan.
13 meeting. Other bids came
from Briggs, Conventional,
Corps, Kent, Moore, and Ven-
ables.

Continued from page 14
"In some states," he said, "as-
sisted living has become part of
the regulated healthcare system."
For example, New Jersey law re-
quires a certificate of need to
build an assisted living facility.
With the new assisted living de-
velopment, said Fried, "the ser-
vices can be brought to the people,
and it is more efficient for doctors
to seem them there."
Assisted living is an expansion
of Beebe's other services. Ap-
proximately a year ago, it pur-
chased Lewes Convalescent Cen-
ter, which it oversees managerial-
ly. The center provides transition-
al care, skilled nursing or tradi-
tional care as well as some custo-
dial care.
The hospital recently an-
nounced it will open satellite fa-
cilities in several Sussex County
communities to ease the travel ne-
cessity for medical services. It al-
so offers home healthcare and an
adult daycare service at Gull
House in Rehoboth Beach.
New to Beebe's agenda i-s de-
veloping home infusion therapy.
"That's something we had not
been involved in traditionally,"
said Fried. Beebe Medical Cen-
ter, Kent General Hospital and
Edgehill Pharmacy are forming a
partnership to perform the service.
Fried said that the agreement
stemmed from both hospitals' de-
sire to eliminate both the competi-
tion and duplication of services in
order to provide people with the
most cost effective means for get-
ting their intravenous therapies in
their homes.
"It requires some kind of over-
sight by a registered nurse to
make sure everything is working
well," said Fried, who added he
believes that ultimately the pro-
gram will provide cost savings
and more comfort for the patient s .
How Beebe will fund the assist-
ed living project is not conclusive,
Fried said. As with the Gull
House program, some public
funding could be available. Fried
said the hospital will also be in
contact with the Beebe Medical
Foundation to seek its advice on
funding options. No target date
has been set for the project's initi-
ation.

Come February 1, all of us at the Cape Gazette will be pulling up stakes
and breaking camp. We'll unplug our computers, wrap cords around tele-
phones, load boxes into trucks and say goodbye to all of our good friends in
the Shoppes of Camelot. But we're not moving far. Our new offices will be
in the Midway Shopping Center Annex, behind the Roadhouse Restaurant,
next door to Cape Billiards. That's about a mile north of our present office.
We've been fortunate to enjoy steady growth in our three and a half years of
business. Our new offices will provide much enlarged space for continued
growth and improvement. We look forward to many more years of serving
the communities of Delaware's unique Cape Region from our new offices.
