Council awards $31,517 demolition contract for six nuisance properties

Council approved Resolution No. 92-13 on Oct. 7, awarding a demolition contract for six properties declared nuisances under the Fairborn codified ordinances. Jonathan Boeckman said title searches and notifications to banks and owners had been completed and that the Attorney General's Moving Ohio Forward Fund will finance the work. A mandatory pre-bid meeting drew four contractors; three bids were received and Cox Paving, LLC submitted the lowest total ($31,517).

Boeckman advised that asbestos-notification packets will be sent to neighbors before remediation begins. Councilman Robert Wood asked whether any qualified Fairborn bidders had requested bid packets; staff said none had. Boeckman said more properties will be brought forward at future council meetings for demolition work. Council unanimously adopted the resolution.
