aFr'PE'._E= (For City Commission Meeting of
December 8, 1983)
It is recommended that a Resolution be
passed waiving the requirement for
formal sealed bids, authorizing the
procurement of wrecking services from
Tree -Masters, Inc., at a total cost of
$5,250.00, on an emergency basis for
the removal of remaining walls of
Trinity Methodist Church after its roof
collapsed; further ratifying the City
Manager's written finding that the
waiver of competitive methods resulted
from emergency circumstances.
On October 5, 1983, at approximately 5:40 p.m., the Trinity
Methodist Church, located at 1415 N.W. 2 Avenue, collapsed.
Ninety percent of the church roof fell through after the
north wall gave way. The south wall remained upright but in
a critical condition, being broken and leaning precariously.
City Building Inspectors, called to investigate, immediately
determined the emergency circumstance of remaining structure
to life and safety of residents and, on an emergency basis,
issue Demolition Order No. 112 to the owner, Bishop George E.
Johnson, and attempted to contact three wrecking companies by
telephone for removal of the remaining walls.
Juelle Brothers, Inc.

rROM Howard V. Gary vErEPEN.-ES (For Commission Meeting of
City Manager December 8, 1983)
f.%__DS_Rrc
Based on information supplied to me by the Director of the
Department of Fire, Rescue and Inspection Services, I have
found that there existed an emergency need for waiver of
competitive bidding methods and procurement of wrecking
services from Tree -Masters, Inc., in the amount of $5,250.00.
The reason for the emergency need was as follows:
*The emergency situation occurred on
October 5, 1983, at approximately 5;40 p.m.,
as a result of a roof collapse of the
Trinity Methodist Church, located at
1450 N.W. 2 Avenue. The life and safety
of surrounding residents was jeopardized by
remaining broken and leaning walls which
had not yet collapsed. This necessitated
immediate procurement of wrecking services
made with such competition as practicable
under the circumstances.
