Council approves on‑call contract for property cleanups and emergency board‑ups
Summary
The council awarded a contract to a contractor identified in the bid as 'RACM LLC doing businesses Serve Pro' to provide on‑call property cleanup and emergency board‑up services to support code enforcement and public safety.
Council members approved a contract on June 15 to secure on‑call property cleanup and emergency board‑up services intended to support code enforcement, public safety and occasional large‑scale abatement tasks.
Director Kapalinsky told the council the city has lacked a dedicated contractor for larger remediation duties—examples included unsafe garages, heavily overgrown yards and emergency building board‑ups after vehicle collisions or fire. The chosen contractor would provide on‑call capacity and locked‑in rates to reduce response time and staff burden on DPW.
Kapalinsky said for fire board‑ups the city expects insurance or property owners to be billed; in nuisance abatements the city would attempt to recover costs from property owners. The council moved and approved awarding the contract subject to execution by the city manager.
The measure passed on a roll call vote.
