1 Sale of Property at 1676 N.W. 7th
Avenue = Known as Fire Station #5
Copy of Resolution
By memorandum dated September 1, 1977, the Fire Department notified all interested
departments that the old Fire Station i5 located at 1676 N. W. 7th Avenue, had
been prematurely abandoned due to a major underground leak that would be too costly
to repair. The Fire Department was forced to occupy the new Fire Station #5 at
N. W. 12th Avenue and 20th Street, prior to acceptance, because of the problem.
Approximately a year prior, reports were rendered as to the structural integrity
of the building. The reports from Public Works recommend that the structure be
demolished.
It was determined that the property was surplus as the building was unsafe and un-
usable, and that the land was not needed by any department within the City.
The property then was offered for sale., as is, on January 26, 1978 by Public Notice,
with sealed bids opened on February 15, 1978, and four (4) bids received as follows:-
1) Miguel Lopez
2) Jerome Bienenfeld
3) John Williams
4) Florida Glass & Mirror Co. Inc.
$ 11,000.00
15,000.00
17,300.00
18,100.00
Based on the fact that the City will not have the expense involved to demolish this
structure, the bids received are in line.
It is recommended that the highest bid received from Florida Glass & Mirror Co. Inc.,
in the amount of Eighteen Thousand One Hundred ($18,100.00) Dollars, be accepted, and
these proceeds from sale be dedicated for use in the Fire Department's Capital Improve-
ment Program.
