Bacon, Jr . , City Manager <br /> George C . Weaver , Director of Community Development ' <br /> Dave Griffiths , Neighborhood Standards Administrato <br /> Bill Turner , Building Inspections Superintendent <br /> SIIBJECT: Emergency Demolition of Unsafe Structure <br /> Date: April 3 , 1995 <br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> The Neighborhood Services and Inspections Divisions have recently <br /> received concerns from several property owners in the area of the <br /> 500 block E . Wabash concerning a dangerous structure . <br /> The City has already received a court judgment allowing for the <br /> demolition of the building at 510-44 E. Wabash. <br /> The structure at this time is in a very dangerous state and par- <br /> tially collapsed . There is a large storage tank located on the <br /> roof which is leaning and could possibly fall onto the adjacent <br /> occupied structure . City staff has solicited bids for this <br /> project in the past with only one bid being submitted for <br /> $119 , 000 . 00 which was rejected. City staff has secured a bid for <br /> the immediate removal of this unsafe structure that is in line <br /> with pre-job estimates . It is staff ' s recommendation that the <br /> bid be accepted and the unsafe conditions be abated immediately. <br /> An exclusive bid , because of the dangerous condition of the <br /> building and past experience of receiving an unacceptable bid , <br /> was solicited from a contractor that staff felt had the equip- <br /> ment , time and expertise to complete the project in the most ex- <br /> pedient manner for the least cost . <br />
