City staff identifies contractor for demolition; legal limits on refurbishing property noted
Summary
Staff said Bradburn Wrecking Corporation submitted a bid of $31,900 to demolish an unsafe building and will be issued a demolition permit; staff noted the city cannot refurbish or repurpose the property unless it becomes public property and will send the owner a survey letter and email.
City staff reported they have an identified demolition contractor, Bradburn Wrecking Corporation of Wichita, with a price of about $31,900 and that the city will issue the contractor a demolition permit once arrangements and insurance are confirmed.
Staff also discussed the legal limitations: if the city wanted to refurbish the property for public use, it would need the property to become public property first. Staff said they will attempt further contact with the owner by certified letter and email; if the owner does not cooperate, staff will consult the city attorney about next steps. "We have a identified vendor that can do it for $31,900," staff said.
