<br /> On October 16, 2006, the City Council authorized a redevelopment agreement with Reynolds
<br /> Development, LLC, to develop the east side of the 300 block of North Water Street. As part of the
<br /> agreement the City agreed to:

<br /> streetscape improvements by July 31, 2008;
<br /> 2. Demolish the buildings at 327 and 331/335 North Water Street by July 31, 2008; and,
<br /> 3. Redevelop or demolish the remaining buildings in the 300 block of North Water Street by
<br /> July 31, 2008.
<br /> On March 5, 2007, the City Council authorized an agreement with PWC to provide engineering
<br /> services to perform the required design work at a cost of$68,500. With no redevelopment
<br /> agreements imminent or in the foreseeable future for the remaining buildings in the 300 block, on
<br /> November 19, 2007, the Council increased the agreement with PWC to design alternatives for the
<br /> demolition of all of the buildings on the west side of the street. The agreement also authorized PWC
<br /> to provide the demolition inspection for the City.
<br /> The project plans and specifications were prepared by PWC Engineering. The project was advertised
<br /> January 4, 2008, and bids were opened on January 23, 2008. The results for the letting are as
