Brown, County Administrator Kristin Daniels, Budget Director FROM: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager SUBJECT: Disposition of Former Fire Station 7 BACKGROUND: On February 5, 2019, the Board awarded bid 2019029 for the Demolition of former Fire Station 7 at 1215 82nd Avenue to Barth Construction, Inc. of Vero Beach for $28,370.00. The station has not operated from that site since mid -2015, and the building's condition has deteriorated. A purchase order has been issued, and Barth has begun the application process, but a demolition permit has not yet been issued by the Building Department. Staff has since been contacted by an individual that has expressed interest in purchasing the entire parcel, including the building slated for demolition. A change order to PO 82937 has been issued asking Barth to cease all demolition activities until further direction by the County. Barth has agreed to this request. ANALYSIS The sale of county -owned property to a non -adjacent property owner must be made through auction or sealed bid sale. Sealed bids can be solicited beginning March 31, 2019 and accepted until 2:00 p.m. on April 9, 2019, and presented to the Board on April 16, 2019. Staff recommends no action on the bid to demolish the structure be taken at this time, in the event no acceptable bid to purchase, as determined by the Board, is received. SOURCE OF FUNDS: Required advertisement of the sale is estimated to cost $160 and will be made available in the Fire Rescue — Legal Ads Account (11412022-034910).
