Title

APPROVING THE CONTRACT FOR THE DEMOLITION OF 10525 NASSAU STREET NE. WITH SAUTER AND SONS

Background

In May 2017 the Blaine EDA purchased two properties at 10525 Nassau St. and 2111 105^th Ave. from Guzik LLC.  The Guzik’s operated their business, Arkad Corporation, from these buildings.  The EDA leased both of the buildings back to Arkad Corporation until the end of 2017 until they vacated the building at 10525 Nassau St.  They are still leasing the building at 2111 105^th Ave. until May 2019. 

Now that the building at 10525 Nassau St. is vacant, the EDA is proposing to demolish the building to prepare the area for redevelopment.  Staff solicited bids for the project and received two bids.  They are as follows:

•                     Sauter and Sons - $34,500

•                     Nitti Roll-Off - $48,900

Staff recommends awarding the bid to Sauter and Sons.  This company has done several other successful demolition projects in the City of Blaine over the last three years. 

The contract requires demolition to occur by July 31, 2018.  The site will be backfilled and seeded.  Some of the paved surface will remain to allow access to the property at 2111 105^th Ave. since access to that property was eliminated as part of the 105^th Ave. project.  Next summer the building at 2111 105^th Ave. will be demolished to further prepare the area for redevelopment.
