Church. <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the four(4)attached resolutions authorizing execution <br /> of agreements for demolition of a combined total of fourteen(14)dwellings. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> With staff's continued efforts to more aggressively pursue demolition of derelict structures,and in support of neighborhood <br /> revitalization objectives,a batch of 15 dwellings were recently put to bid in two groups after clearing legal and environmetrtal <br /> review. Each group was bid on an individual property basis and as respective groups with potential savings for comparative <br /> evaluations. Bid Group A represents seven(7) 1—1 '/z story structures that require asbestos abatement. Bid Group B represents <br /> eight(8)two-story structures that require asbestos abatement. <br /> Under the notion that the low bidder of each of the goups with largest savings be considered for approval,a total of four <br /> contracts representing 14 of the 15 dwellings are being recommended to the City Council. There is one structure in Bid Group B <br /> that does not trigger the spending threshold for City Council action(Clancy Coleman for$15,590),thus it is not reflected in any <br /> of the 4 resolutions and will be processed by staff administratively. One of the recommended contracts is with a minority <br /> company. <br /> Bid Groups A and B were awarded on an individual basis with a cost savings of$12,843 for Group A and$20,427 for Group B <br /> over the group discount. Overall,the total savings amount to$33,270. Bidding far the two groups as respective groups did not <br /> yield any savings. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: No known objections to this resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Debbie Perry,Purchasing Supervisor;Susan Kretsinger,Neighborhood Inspections 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 Resolution Letter <br />
