Explanation
BACKGROUND: In February of 2012 Mayor Coleman announced a program to fight vacant and abandoned property that includes a plan to aggressively target and demolish blighted structures. In addition, the City has a responsibility to demolish vacant and abandoned properties declared a nuisance, unsafe, or an emergency to public health and safety. This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into contracts with seven contractors to provide deconstruction, demolition and asbestos abatement services under the program. The companies responded to a Request for Proposal (RFP), SA-005576, and were selected by an evaluation committee as the companies with the best proposals. A total of thirteen companies responded. The seven companies selected and proposed contract amounts are as follows:
Entity Contract Amount
Ransom Company $200,000
Watson General Contracting $400,000
Egner Construction $250,000
Superior Enterprises Unlimited, Inc. $400,000
S.G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. $400,000
DSS Services, LLC $200,000
Colvin Gravel Company, Inc. $150,000
Furthermore, this legislation also authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to amend two asbestos remediation services contracts with R3, Inc. and Hina Environmental Solutions, LLC to increase the contract amounts a total of $85,661 and to extend the term of the contracts for an additional year. Ordinances 0136-2014 and 1154-2014 authorized the Director of Development to enter into contracts with asbestos testing companies to provide asbestos remediation under the program.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested in order to complete the work within the timeframe for which the cost estimates were given and demolish the structures as soon as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in the Development Taxable Bonds Fund for this purpose.
