The Dickinson City Commission on Oct. 7 approved two demolition contracts for properties previously authorized for demolition; the costs will be assessed against the properties.

Code Enforcement Officer Tiffany Stewart presented three bids for demolition of the structure at 22 South Tenth Avenue West. Stewart said building and landfill costs will be assessed to the property owner and recommended the lowest responsive bid from Prairie Paving & Maintenance at $28,000. The commission approved resolution 45-2025 selecting Prairie Paving & Maintenance; the vote was unanimous.

Stewart also presented bids for demolition of 219 Fifth Street East, a property the commission authorized for demo in June 2025. Stewart said vehicles on site had been tagged and removed prior to demolition; the building-and-codes department recommended the low bid from Total Control at $8,800. The commission approved resolution 46-2025 awarding the work to Total Control; the vote was unanimous.

Stewart said the costs for both demolitions, including landfill fees, will be assessed directly to the properties as provided by the city’s abatement process.
