Clearlake approves $229,400 demolition and abatement contract for nuisance properties under CalRecycle grant
Summary
Council awarded a $229,400 contract to Case Excavating to demolish and abate hazardous properties using a $477,469 CalRecycle grant; the council denied appeals and the city will lien properties for abatement costs under grant rules.
The Clearlake City Council unanimously authorized the city manager to execute a $229,400 contract with Case Excavating for demolition and abatement of multiple properties determined to be public nuisances. Staff said the work will be funded by a CalRecycle grant for illegal disposal site cleanup and property abatements totaling $477,469.
“Each of the properties had open cases and had failed to reach full voluntary compliance and abate all violations,” City code enforcement staff said, summarizing the grant award and the competitive bid process. Staff reported 12 bids were received; the low responsive and responsible bidder was Case Excavating at $229,400. One lower bidder was deemed nonresponsive for failing to submit required documents, staff said.
The properties listed for this phase include addresses posted during the meeting: 16140 Dam Road; 16273 30 Second Avenue; 16116 30 Third Avenue; 13790 Sonoma Avenue; 3273 Eleventh Street; 6347 Armijo Avenue; 14045 Hale Street; 14053 Hale Street; 14236 Hale Street; 3014 Fifth Street; 13535 Santa Clara Avenue; 5740 Hale Avenue; 16026 Fifth Avenue; 3971 Pine Avenue; and 3783 Cedar Avenue. Staff said three appeals to earlier orders to abate were denied by the council at a prior hearing.
Council asked whether properties would be liened to recoup abatement costs; staff said CalRecycle grant rules require the properties to be liened for the costs of abatements and that funds returned to CalRecycle after payment. A council member noted satisfaction that a local company will perform the work.
Council Member Wilson moved to award the contract and Council Member Downey seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
