EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The attached resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract with Ronald Kucera, Jr. for the demolition of a condemned building at 535 South Benton Street.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
A certain building located at 535 South Benton Street was declared a "dangerous building" per Chapter 7, Article XIII of the City's Code of Ordinances. Pursuant to the Code, a public hearing for the building was held on November 22, 2021. The Building Supervisor issued an order to repair or demolish the building by March 15, 2022. To date, the property owner has not taken action to comply with the order. As provided for in the Code, the City may cause the building to be demolished and a special tax bill issued for the cost of the demolition. The City solicited bids for the demolition of the building. Five (5) bids were received. The bids ranged from $5,875.00 to $13,500.00. The low bidder was disqualified because they failed to provide a lump sum bid as required by the bid notice. Ronald Kucera, Jr. was the next lowest bidder ($6,700.00). References have been submitted and approved. The demolition contract is attached, along with the tabulation of bids.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will use funds from the condemnation budget to cover the cost of the demolition. A special tax bill will be issued to recover the cost.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the demolition contract for 535 South Benton Street.
