Mayor seeks approval to issue tree-planting RFPs and asbestos/demolition RFPs for four properties
Summary
Mayor George Murphy requested approval to finalize and distribute RFPs for tree planting/maintenance (pending Morton Arboretum approval) and RFPs for asbestos testing/removal and wet demolition on up to four properties; he said testing results are pending and recommended package bids.
Mayor George Murphy asked the council to approve an RFP for tree planting and maintenance, with additional edits requested and contingent on Morton Arboretum’s approval; he sought authorization to send the RFPs out for bids by email approval because of timing but noted no funds were required to issue the RFP. The mayor also said he expected asbestos testing results from Jamie Austif for multiple houses and that wet demolition would be needed at some sites if asbestos is confirmed.
Specifically, Murphy said testing had detected suspected asbestos at 337 S Emmett and that a wet demolition will be required for that structure; an adjacent house near the car wash was too dangerous to test and also likely requires wet demolition. The mayor recommended soliciting both individual demolition bids and a package bid for all four properties. He also noted the city will monitor the county’s property-tax-sale list for possible purchases.
Council gave general authorization to proceed with RFP preparation and to handle advertisement/solicitation in accordance with the attorney’s guidance; final issuance was contingent on completing edits and confirming Morton Arboretum’s comments for the tree RFP.
