BACKGROUND
In 2010, the City of Downey received $661,034 in Neighborhood Stabilization Program
(NSP) funds from the State of California. These funds were awarded to the City for the
purpose of advancing the demolition of vacant and blighted buildings in selected target
areas. In April 2010, the Community Development Commission entered into a
Cooperation Agreement with the City of Downey. Under this Agreement, the City
transferred its NSP allocation to the CDC, for the demolition of the former Verizon
nd
building at 8314 2 Street.
DISCUSSION
Commission staff, with support from Public Works Department, has prepared the bid
documents for the subject project. The scope of the proposed project will include the
demolition of the entire structure above ground level. This project will also include the
abatement and disposal of hazardous materials, removal and disposal of all building
materials, and incorporate recycling and material diversion mandates.
The project cost is estimated at $520,000. This estimate includes the cost of
demolition, abatement of hazardous materials, project administration, and inspections.
A detailed project cost will be presented to the Commission at the time of contract
award.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The scope of work proposed under this project will be funded with NSP funds award by
the State of California, and CDBG-R funds allocation to the City of Downey by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
