A. Procedure. When any work of repair, demolition or securement is to be done pursuant to Section 8.96.270(D) of this chapter, the building official shall accomplish the work using city personnel or by private contract under the direction of the building official. Plans and specifications therefor may be prepared by such building official, or he or she may employ such architectural and engineering assistance on a contract basis as he or she may deem reasonably necessary. If any part of the work is to be accomplished by private contract and the value of such work exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), standard public works contractual procedures shall be followed. If the value of such work is less than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), the procedures to be followed shall be specified by resolution of the council establishing general standards for the solicitation and award of contracts of this category.
B. Costs. The cost of such repair, demolition or securement work shall be paid from the repair and demolition fund, and may be made a special assessment against the property involved and may be made a personal obligation of the property owner, as the housing board shall determine is appropriate.
