The City of Riviera Beach has owned the property know as 2391 Avenue ‘L’ since approximately 1977 (hereinafter the Property).  The Property has been utilized for the City’s Public Works and Fleet Fueling operations, as well as historically providing office space for other City functions throughout the years.  The City determined in late August of 2017 that the existing building located on the Property could no longer accommodate current City operations.  The City’s Public Works Operations were relocated to an alternate City owned property, located at 1481 West 15^th Street, in anticipation of demolishing the existing structure located on the Property.

City staff researched the demolition process further and a demolition estimate from Bader’s Group, LLC, has been provided as supplemental information to this resolution.  A new five foot by five foot communication building must be purchased and installed on the Property in order to maintain existing fleet fueling operations for the City, which will also include a generator and all required system connections.  The specifications and estimate for the above mentioned communication building and generator have been provided as supplemental information to this resolution.  The estimated project cost to demolish the existing building and install a new communications building with a generator is approximately $200,000.  Previous expenditures associated with relocating Public Works to 1481 West 15th Street were approximately $180,000, resulting in a total estimated cost of $380,000.
