The contractor had provided an estimate of $12,600 to complete the work. <br />The contractor began working on the project later that week. The home and garages were extremely full of <br />items that needed removal. The significant amount of items was well beyond what had been visible from the <br />doorway when the estimate was provided. <br /> <br />The large increase in the amount of material removed from the home resulted in an additional dumpster, <br />vehicle to haul items off-site for auction, storage space for the items while the auction took place, and a <br />significant increase in work hours. <br /> <br />The attached invoice includes charges amounting to $25,523.25 (after subtracting the sales taxes). This is a <br />significant increase in the cost of the cleanup, and staff have reviewed these changes with the contractor. <br />After those discussions, staff is comfortable with the additional costs as noted in the invoice, less the sales tax, <br />and recommends approval of the invoice. These charges will ultimately be assessed to the property and will <br />be paid when the property sells in the future. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The total cost of the cleanup and demolition of the property will be assessed to the property. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Improve citizen quality of life. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
