The <br />demolition of the building could be done in the fall of 2000 with housing fund dollars that <br />would be recaptured as part of the agreement with the eventual developer. This, again, <br />would expedite development and reduce the front end costs for some of the smaller <br />developers. <br /> <br />1.3 Upon Council's approval to proceed with preparation of plans and specifications and <br />bidding for demolition of the building site, the staff estimates the following schedule: <br /> <br />August 2000 <br />September 25 <br />October 30 <br /> <br />Request for bids for the demolition <br />Council reviews/approves best bid <br />Demolition complete <br /> <br />2.0 SUGGESTED CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />By motion, approve preparation of plans and specifications for the demolition of the current <br />city owned 30,000 square foot building at 2800 Arona Street, and further, approve the <br />advertisement for bids for this building demolition.
