<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority 6.2 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />General Business March 6, 2023 Brent O’Neil, Economic Development Director <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Demolition Contract for 724 Main Street Joshua Mollan, Economic Development Specialist <br />Reviewed by <br />Brandon Wisner, Engineering Project Manager <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Authorize, by motion, the executive director and chair to execute an agreement, in substantially the same form as <br />attached, between the HRA and Veit and Company, Inc. (Veit) for demolition of the property at 724 Main Street. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Three quotes have been received for the demolition of 724 Main Street, the former Elk River Meats property now <br />owned by the HRA. The low quote of $64,500 was received by Veit and meets the objectives the HRA has for the <br />demolition of the property. The scope of work is included in the attached contract. <br /> <br />While this contract will result in the demolition of the property, there are some conditions that may necessitate <br />change orders during the demolition process. Two of these conditions are related to a non-functioning water shut- <br />off valve and to the degree the pavers on the south side of the building will be disrupted during the demolition <br />activity. We have been and will continue to work with Veit to minimize impacts and costs. There are also other <br />costs incidental to the demolition that are not included in this contract, which include costs for disconnecting <br />electric utilities and will be billed to the HRA by Elk River Municipal Utilities. <br /> <br />Pending approval, remediation of environmental items would begin as soon as March 7, with demolition beginning <br />as soon as March 9. The process is expected to take less than two weeks. <br /> <br />Additional quotes were received from New Look and Brenteson, for $107,479 and $172,610 respectively. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Approval of the contract will commit $64,500 for the demolition and is proposed to be sourced from the HRA’s <br />fund balance. In the event change orders or additional work is needed, it is anticipated those items would not <br />exceed $20,000 collectively. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Support downtown and redevelopment. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Veit Demolition Contract <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br />Updated: January 2023 <br /> <br />
