The work to be done under Contract #10585 consists of a voluntary buyout/acquisition of two (2) properties in the 3000 block
of Portis Avenue, in the City of St Louis, to allow the removal of improvements and relocate residents in this area that is
prone to flooding due to inadequate drainage. The cost associated with relieving the drainage issues and the associated
street flooding outweighed the estimated cost to remove all improvements and relocate the residents of the two properties.
The effort will include the demolition of approximately two structures and securing the site. Since this is a voluntary buyout,
owners will be given compensation for value of their property and the expenses related to the transaction, but will not be
given additional compensation for replacement housing under the Code of Federal Regulations Uniform Relocations and
Real Property Assistance Act (49CFR Part 24, amended). A real property acquisition consultant will perform all negotiations
and management of the property acquisition from the first contact with the owners through the closing. The District will
contract for the demolition, asbestos removal, and final restoration of site and structures under separate contracts through
the Purchasing Division. All of these activities will be funded from this appropriation.
