COLUMBUS CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENT



COUNCIL MEETING



March 11, 2003



Agenda Report # 037



TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: Bids for Demolition of Derelict Buildings by City Contract



INITIATED BY: Department of Economic and Community Development



*********************************



Recommendation: Approve the cost of the demolition of thirteen structures, as

priced by Reaves

Wrecking Company, Inc. A Status Report and Chronology is attached for each

structure.



Background: Upon routine investigation, Housing Code Inspectors made

inspections of the properties, took photographs and wrote up the structures

according to the unsafe building ordinance (Section 8-81 - 8-90 of the Columbus

Code of Ordinances). Inspections and Code Enforcement Division notified the

owners of the hearings, held hearings, and then mailed notices to the owners,

giving them 45 days in which to demolish or to repair the structures.



Analysis: No progress has been made on the following: 3751 Cusseta Road,

Allen, 4333 Hancock Road, Aplin, 1006 Calvin Avenue, Brown, 2900 Veterans

Parkway, Coley, 2310 N. Andrews Circle, Hollis, 6747 Mitchell Drive, Jackson,

1415 -29th Street, Jordan, 621 Radcliff Avenue, Roberson, 44 & 46 Muscogee

Drive, Ryder, 2004 - 3rd Avenue, Tew and 3042 Knox Street 1&2, U. S. Bank

National. Some progress has been made on the following: 2901 Colorado Street,

Carter, 336 Clover Avenue, Rear, James.



Alternatives: The only alternative to the City?s proceeding with the

demolition will be for the owners to complete the demolition of the structures

prior to approval by Council.



Financial Considerations: Demolitions under City contracts are funded by the

Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). The City has signed an

annual contract with Reaves Wrecking Company, Inc., to do all of the

demolitions for the City. Upon completion of the demolitions, the City will

pay Reaves with funds from CDBG and will file liens against the properties for

the cost of the demolitions. These liens will have to be repaid to the City

before the owners can sell the properties.



Legal Considerations: All precautions have been taken to assure that the

owners received proper notification of all actions by the City. The annual

contract between Reaves Wrecking Company, Inc., and the City outlines the

responsibility of Reaves in performing their work.



Recommendations/Actions: Approve the costs, as priced by Reaves, for the

demolition of the structures and the clearing of the lots of the debris.
