To address two vacant and blighted properties.
BACKGROUND:
104 and 108 Woodlawn Avenue are two deteriorating properties with a history of code violations. These properties have redevelopment potential since they are zoned M-1 Manufacturing District and since an adjacent property was demolished in June 2017.

The bids were received, opened, and read aloud on January 31, 2018. The six qualifying bids are tabulated in Exhibit C. Exhibit D is a copy of the low bid from Performance Construction & Engineering, LLC of 217 W. John Street, Plano, IL 60545.
DISCUSSION:
The bid from Performance Construction & Engineering, LLC was the lowest responsible bid and account 101-1827-424.36-25 has sufficient funds for this project.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
During demolition, traffic on Woodlawn Avenue near West Benton Street will be temporarily disrupted while sewer and water services to these two properties are disconnected and while the driveway aprons are removed.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the proposed resolution be adopted.
