(A) Generally. The Public Works Department or Planning/Zoning and Code Enforcement Department will notify all interested authorized and bonded contractors of the bidding process for the demolition, removal, and recycling of abandoned manufactured homes. Contractors may be notified through United States Postal Service mail, electronic mail or fax for a request to submit bids. Contractors will be notified of the property location, ownership, and contact information and may contact the property owner(s) in order to obtain information necessary to submit a bid for the demolition, removal, and recycling of the manufactured home. The Public Works Department or Planning/Zoning and Code Enforcement Department will accept bids by authorized contractors that are received through United States Postal Service mail, electronic mail or fax. The contractor awarded the project will be notified by telephone or United States Postal Service mail by an authorized agent of the county.
(B) Site survey for voluntary demolitions. Before being awarded a contract, the contractor must provide proof of bonding to the county. Once the contractor is awarded the project, the contractor must notify the property owner(s) prior to the demolition, removal, and recycling of the abandoned manufactured home. A site survey must be conducted with the property owner(s) present to identify any utility connections including marking the placement of a septic tank and/or septic field. The property owner(s) is responsible for ensuring that all utility connections are disconnected and notifying the contractor when such measures have been taken. The contractor must be notified by the property owner(s) of any possible hazards. The contractor may not access the property through an adjoining property without proper consent from that adjoining property owner.
