Sale of Property at 1676 NNi 7th

!.,4., - t,.4c'.: Copy of Resolution
By memorandum dated September 1, 1977, the Fire Department notified all interested
departments that the old Fire Station #5 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 unusable
and 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.
By Motion No. 78-242, the City Commission deferred this sale of property until a M.A.I.
appraisal was made. Proposals were solicited from twenty (20) M.A.I. Appraisers, with
six (6) responses.
Mr. Robert Quinlivan, M.A.I., submitted the lowest proposal in the amount of $350.00
and was selected to do the appraisal. The opinion of value for this parcel of City
owned property by Mr. Robert Quinlivan, M.A.I. Appraiser, is $10,350.00.
It is recomnended that the highest bid received from Florida Glass & Mirror Co. Inc.,
in the amount of $18,100.00 be accepted. The Fire Department concurs with this
recommendation.
