MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL Monday, February 14, 2011 • 7:00 o'clock p.m. (18. BIG ISLAND —REMOVAL OF STRUCTURES, Continued) McMillan stated at a minimum the City needs to remove the burned debris but that she would like to look at the possibility of leaving the utilities in place. Gaffron indicated Staff will coordinate with Gabriel Jabbour on removal of the debris and existing buildings. The City will also need to issue permits as part of that demolition process. Printup asked what is entailed in maintaining the well. Gaffron stated there will need to be some small enclosure to house the wiring and pipe. Gaffron noted that enclosure would also have the potential to be vandalized. Printup asked whether there is anything that would be salvageable from the structures. Gaffron stated they will need to look into that, but to his understanding very little would be salvageable. Printup stated he would like to see something in writing from the other two contractors refusing to submit a bid. Mattick noted the City does not need to go through a bidding process since the work is under $100,000 and that perhaps the two contractors who declined to submit a formal bid would be willing to provide a quote. Franchot moved, Bremer seconded, to authorize the removal of the remaining buildings and debris as noted by staff, and to obtain two additional quotes on the costs for the removal, with the cost of the project not to exceed the estimate received from TEN Enterprises ($28,500) plus tax. McMillan stated if Staff finds out the well will need to be capped prior to the buildings being removed, to please notify the Council. Gaffron indicated they will investigate that issue first.
