President ® Recorded and transcribed by: Sharon Knutson 10/13/98 -3- DRAFT • EDA Agenda Item No. 4a • • MEMORANDUM TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager FROM: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialises, l DATE: October 21, 1998 SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Amendment to Contract for Demolition of 6944, 6950, 6956 and 7000 Brooklyn Boulevard and 6945 June Avenue North Brooklyn Center On September 28, 1998, the EDA authorized a contract for demolition of 6944, 6950, 6956 and 7000 Brooklyn Boulevard and 6945 June Avenue North in Brooklyn Center. The demolition is now complete. During the demolition of properties located at 6944, 6950 and 6956 Brooklyn Boulevard, significant additional demolition and removal was required for items that were not apparent and visible until the demolition was underway. A summary of the additional items follows: 1. Two hidden basements were discovered under the house at 6944 Brooklyn Boulevard. There was no access from the house to these basement areas. The basements were accessed through a garage wall. The garage was located at the rear of the house and was built into the hillside, a story below the residence. The cost for removal, disposal and backfill of these hidden basements was $2,750. 2. At 6956 Brooklyn Boulevard, and under retaining walls located at this address, full basement depth concrete footings were discovered. The cost to remove and dispose of these additional materials was $2,500. 3. The garage roof behind 6944 Brooklyn Boulevard consisted of an initial 4" layer of concrete. Once this 4" layer was removed the underlying roof was discovered to be made of spancrete. In addition, spancrete was found in the retaining walls and in slabs between the hidden basement areas. Spancrete is more expensive to dispose of than regular concrete since it contains reinforcing cable in the concrete slabs which cannot be placed in a concrete crusher for recycling. The cost for removal and disposal of the spancrete was $2,350. 4. Two septic tanks were discovered, one at 6944 and one at 6950 Brooklyn Boulevard. Removal and disposal was $600 per septic tank for a total of $1,200. 5. A second layer of bituminous was discovered when the parking lot at 6950 and 6956 Brooklyn Boulevard was removed. This cost was an additional $900. Also, the cement driveway and parking area at 6944 Brooklyn Boulevard consisted of 9" thick concrete material which was well beyond the normal depth of concrete driveways and parking ® areas. The cost to remove this additional concrete was $950. MEMORANDUM • Michael J. McCauley Page 2 6. Two light standards and two advertising signs were added to the demolition which were not included in the original specification. This amount totaled $500. This demolition was extremely unusual in the amount of additional material discovered at the site. All the additional materials were limited to the properties at 6944, 6950 and 6956 Brooklyn Boulevard all owned by the same individual. It should be noted that even with the additional costs the total amount for demolition of all the properties is $40,712 which is less than the next highest bid of $42,233. It should also be noted that the next highest bid of $42,233 would have increased an I additional amount for the additional items contained in this memorandum. A resolution is attached to this memorandum which would amend the initial contract amount of $29,562 to provide for the removal and disposal costs of the additional material. • Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO.
