Commissioners authorize bids to remove remaining structure at Slotten property after missed deadlines
Summary
The board voted to solicit bids on Aug. 18 to remove the remaining portion of the dilapidated building at 5398 E Main Street after owner missed removal deadlines; the County Attorney prepared RFP specifications and Auditor will mail RFPs.
The Dubois County commissioners authorized the county to accept bids on Aug. 18, 2025, to remove the remaining portion of a dilapidated building at 5398 E Main Street, following missed removal deadlines.
Health Environmental Specialist Christina Pierini updated the board on the Slotten property and noted that owner Rob Slotten had not completed removal by two previously provided deadlines (June 15 and July 2). The commissioners discussed hiring a contractor, placing a lien for costs incurred, and directed the County Attorney to prepare a request for proposals with bid specifications.
A motion to accept bids on Aug. 18 to complete the scope of the project was duly seconded and carried unanimously. County Auditor Sandra L. Morton will mail the RFP to area contractors so the county can secure a contractor to complete the remaining demolition and recovery actions. The board discussed the option of placing a lien to recoup costs once work is completed.
