Economic&Community Development <br /> DATE: 9/16/2019 <br /> MEMO: No. 19-53 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe and City Council <br /> FROM: Scot Wrighton,City Manager <br /> Raymond Lai,Economic and Cotrnnuuity Development Director <br /> Susan Kretsinger,Neighborhood Inspections Administrator <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Ageement with Clancy Colerr�an Excavating for the Demolition of Uacant <br /> Residential Dwellings at 1165 E. Clay; 1170 E. Condit; 114 S. Hilton;432 S. Martin Luther King Jr.; 1315 E. Moore; 1532 E. <br /> Prairie;and 1598 N. Water <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution authorizing demolition of all seven(7)dwellings with Clancy Coleman <br /> Excavaring for$60,000. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The seven subject dwellings are the first of approlcimately 50 additional dwellings that are to be demolished in the coming <br /> months.Bids were accepted on an individual property basis with a combined group discount for all seven properties. These 7 <br /> were the first ones to clear legal and environmental review The combined group discount provided a savings of$1,830 over <br /> individual bids. It is recominended that the low bidder be approved. <br /> The resolution will authorize the demolition agreement between the City and Clancy Coleman Excavating. <br /> It has taken several months for staff to resume a more aggressive pace of demolitions,in support of neighborhood revitalization <br /> objectives,now that additional funding has been secured to advance these efforts. While other demolitions have occurred earlier <br /> in 2019,they were in smaller quantities that did not trigger the spending threshold for City Council action.Now that staff is <br /> grouping demolitions in bid bundles of no less than 5,it is likely that more of the contract approvals will come to the City <br /> Council for approval. <br /> Additional demolitions authorizations are scheduled for council action in October. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: No known objections to this resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Debbie Perry,Purchasing Supervisor;Susan Kretsinger,Neighborhood Inspecrions Administrator <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Raymond Lai at 424-2727 or rlai@decaturil.gov or <br /> Susan Kretsinger at 450-2347 or skretsinger@decaturil.gov. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Resolution&Exhibit A Res��lution Letter <br />
