McCauley, City Manager FROM: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist 41 DATE: September 7, 1999 SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Demolition of 6912, 6918, 6927, 6932, 6935, 6938, 6944 June Avenue North and 6938 Brooklyn Boulevard, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota Belair Excavating submitted a low bid of $26,976 for demolition of seven single family properties on June Avenue North. As a contractor, Belair has an excellent reputation in the metropolitan area and staff recommends approval of the resolution accepting Belair's bid and authorizing a contract with Belair for demolition. Bids were received from six bidders and ranged from $26,976 to $93,830. Most bids were in the low to mid thirties. Staff attributes the high bid of $93,830 to the relative inexperience of the firm submitting the bid. After the initial bid package was assembled for demolition of 7 houses on June Avenue the EDA acquired the last single family home (6927 June Avenue) on the block to be demolished. Belair Excavating has submitted a proposal to add 6927 June Avenue North to the demolition for $4,763 so the total demolition cost would be $31,739. Staff has prepared a resolution accepting Belair's bid, including the demolition of 6927 June Avenue North. • Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO.
