1. Approach to Project (40 points)

The contract length will be June 25th, 2014 to December 31st, 2016.
The contractor will be required to adhere to the City of Peoria's local purchasing ordinance before work will be assigned to them. JIMAX is in the process of joining the Operator's Union Local 649 to meet the criteria of the ordinance. They expect this process to be finalized in approximately two weeks. Work will be allocated to the backup contractor (River City Demolition) until Jimax comes into compliance with the ordinance requirements. If Jimax fails to come into compliance with the ordinance requirements, River City Demolition will serve as the primary contractor.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This contract will give the City the ability to demolish properties in a cost-effective manner by accepting the lowest proposal and providing the backup contractor with the next lowest cost to ensure service delivery is not hampered. Costs are potentially recovered through billing the property owner and attaching liens on properties that go unpaid. The main funding source for this contract will be Federal CDBG funds.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS: Dangerous and nuisance properties deteriorate neighborhoods and threaten public safety.
IMPACT IF APPROVED: Removal of dangerous and unsightly structures will have a positive impact on neighborhoods
IMPACT IF DENIED: Neighborhoods will be blighted with deteriorated and dangerous properties.
