Staff recommends that in the absence of redevelopment options that ' Alternate B be accepted to demolish all buildings on the 300 block. Completing the demolition of all of the buildings will reduce the demolition costs of each individual building significantly due to the ', proximity of the buildings with each other and having to address their structural interaction. I Delaying the demolition of the remaining properties will severely impede the reconstruction work � required to restore two-way traffic to North Water. I Phil Cochran has reviewed the bids along with the past work histories of the low bidders. He has recommended National Wrecking Company to the City as the lowest bidder capable of successfully i performing the required demolition work. Mr. Cochran's recommendation is attached.
