5. Cost break comparison. • This was provided in the 10115101 request for City Council discussion/direction, however, the actual numbers will vary after having met with the contractor to clarify work. Also, two items from the contractor are estimates: ° Roof plywood replacement is a square footage price as just how much plywood requires replacement is unknown (replacing first row of plywood on entire structure would be approximately $825). ° Draining the pool of stagnant water, mud, dead animals and cattails as well as trimming back brush (mainly to gain access to structure to work on it) is estimated at $2360. This we could cut off at any point of our choosing (this item was included in original abatement hearing). 6 Why does this property require the significant step of abatement by the city? • The structure is in advanced state of deterioration, including: ° Some building soffits are falling off of the home. 0 Deteriorated rooting is allowing water into all soffits with resultant damage and rot. ° Paint is worn/peeling off siding, trim and windows allowing these elements to rot and decompose. ° Doles have been chewed into soffits with the likelihood of squirrels in the attic doing more damage. ° A light fixture has fallen from rotted support members. ° Birds have made holes in the siding. ° A rear door was broken off its hinges allowing entry to the porch. An outbuilding is sliding off of its foundation. ° One dead animal is floating in the pool with the likelihood of others at the bottom (the 5' security fence is intact). ° Broken storm windows/frames are off and leaning against the home. 7. Miscellaneous • Two other bids were higher by approximately 15-20%. • Chosen contractor is licensed and has no outstanding unresolved complaints registered with the Commerce Department. • Homeowner continues to avoid contact with City staff • Repairs will protect the homeowner's investment.
