Building commission awards multiple demolition contracts and approves surplus of older vehicles
Summary
The Board approved low bidders to demolish a set of properties (including emergency demolitions) and authorized surplusing of two older code-enforcement vehicles slated for auction.
The Evansville Board of Public Safety, acting on a building commission report, approved awards for multiple demolition contracts — including emergency demolitions — and authorized the surplus of older city vehicles.
Kim Josie presented a list of low bidders recommended for standard demolition contracts on properties across the city, naming low bids by contractor and price for properties including 1602 Delmar Avenue, 204 East Iowa Street, 2100 West Maryland Street and several others. The board moved to approve awarding the listed demolition contracts to the low bidders and the motion passed by voice vote.
Josie also presented emergency demolition awards for properties requiring immediate work due to structural collapse and severe fire damage, including 1205 Harriet Street (collapse), 1000 Keller Street (fire damage) and 722 East Virginia Street (fire damage). The board approved the low bidders for those emergency demolitions as presented. Josie noted a typographical correction in the record for one bidder name and the board accepted that correction.
The building commission requested authorization to surplus two older vehicles used by code enforcement: a 2008 Chevy Malibu (57,323 miles) and a 2005 Jeep Liberty (81,727 miles). Coordinator Dawson explained that repair costs exceeded vehicle value and that surplus vehicles are typically sent to auction with proceeds to the general fund; the board approved the surplus.
All actions were approved by motion and voice vote; the transcript records no appeals or separate votes on any single property.
